Did you inspect the underwear of the other figures Andy, or was it just the lovely Clara?
What colour underwear is Dalek Sec wearing?
What colour underwear SHOULD Dalek Sec wear?

No.
1. Oswin was the only figure that fell into my mug of tea.
2. I don't own Dalek Sec.

Well you wouldn't want her to be naked under there, would you? (Pinwig is now wondering how many versions of this mould he has, and how many are wearing pants). It's more they painted the area white rather than red to match the dress colour that troubled me. Some kinky dude overseeing paint apps? Perhaps there was an excess of 'white paint' at the factory. -Ralph |

I think I'm safe here. I must have at least four of that mould, but I think they're all still sealed.

Maybe... That Clara mould kept getting reissued in sets I never got as far as opening. I buy new series sets that have new figures in, but they don't excite me like the classic stuff. |

Fair enough.
I hope the line carries on long enough for a Valeyard.

I wouldn't have thought so. The classic line has been dead for years; the B&M sets are just combining parts from the old moulds. The last new classic series moulds must have been about five years ago when the Brig and Jo were done.

We all need to stare into the cold heart of disappointment. That's what life is about.
(I checked my list, it was January 2014 when the last new classic figures came out. Since then every release has been a repaint, a combination of existing parts, or using alternative parts that would have been done at the same time as the original figures).

Cracking line though, there are almost 200 distinct figures in that Classic series range. Very few actual reissues, just loads of repaints.

Apparently B&M are very happy with the sales of the Who sets and are upping the amount this year. As well as the three packs and TARDIS sets there will be two packs this year too. £150 worth in all! Al Dewar has been getting the GB crew excited about a press release this week, but it's no real surprise it didn't happen. He's pretty much confirmed a fifth doc TARDIS set though.

"Brand new take on the Eighth Doctor" tying into BF? I am intrigued.

Al Dewar has confirmed despite the wording of the press release there is no new tooling in any of these sets, which is a shame but expected with it being B&M. The increased numbers is good though, they clearly like the line. Interesting that this is very heavily weighted toward classic Who when the releases so far from B&M have had strong new series content.
Expensive summer then with this and Siege Wave 3.

This line more than any is one I'd like to get housed in some Detolfs. I reckon episode themed displays would look really smart.
I hope these classic three packs give us some good figures. I want to see some creative use of the hundreds of parts they have to use now. I don't mind the same old characters if they can give us representations we don't yet have. I'm not sure how many Toms there are left to do.

Nice, that. Not completely sure I need it, but it's good to see the line diversifying a bit. Very interested to see what they've done with the McCoy figure and what BF style Dalek will be with him.
The above is the retail version going to B&M. BF will have a limited ed of 150 of this set too with paint changes.

That would need new moulding to do the rings so I think it's unlikely. Al Dewar has said none of these sets have any new pieces in. I don't know the BF ranges well enough now to know what kind of Dalek might best suit 7 and War from their stories.

Al Dewar has been banging on about this reveal for weeks. It was supposed to be last Friday.
