Dear Character Options: For Wave 2 of the classic Who figures, please make a Valeyad figure (with removable hat). That is all, thankyou.

A most excellent acquisition you have there. It surely has a surefeit of splendour of multivariate hues.
I've lost track of these, can someone inform me - is their a Troughton available as yet? Because if there was any Doctor that I would feel honour bound to purchase it is the Second. After all: -
the dark corners of the toybox have bred the most terrible things. Things that act against everything we stand for. They must be fought...

Doctors 4, 5, and 6 are in this wave (rest of the wave are 2 voc robots, Magnus Greel/Mr Sin, Steve Devil, Zygon). No Docs 1, 2, 3, 7 or 8 yet.
I daresay if this wave of Classic figures does well and Character do more if would make sense for them to have a few Doctor figures in each wave so Troughton would turn up at some point. Though if Character are sensible and keep the line going, they would be pushing it to do more than 1-2 waves a year as most of the target market for Who figures are kiddies who want New Series stuff.
Incidentally, are the Classic series figures special order items? The only places I know that stock them are FP and TRU. Woolies and the like seem to just have the New Series line.

I figure we will probably seem one new Doctor a wave, given the way that Character like to get as much use out of their molds as they possibly can. By that reckoning I figure I can expect to see a Troughton in about three to four years time..... I'd agree, they would be crazy to do more than a couple of waves a year, the collector market isn't going to be large enough to support much more and the mass market - as you observe - doesn't know or care who these blokes are.

Ta muchly to the rest of the Scots lads! I am now the proud owner of a Davison-Doctor figure (appropriate as he was the Doctor when I started watching) and, as you surely can't have the Doctor without a monster for him to be menaced by, there is also a Sea Devil lumbering menacingly towards him. I do love the string smock on the Sea Devil - it looks even more amusing in toy form than it does on screen. I'm not sure that they've quite captured the characteristic Davison expression though - he doesn't look quite confused enough to completely evoke the character...... He is rather good though, and even comes with a little sonic screwdriver (fortunately there aren't any Terileptils in the house to destroy it).

Speaking of Daleks, they're moving out of Toys'r'us at a rate of knots at the moment. Why?
Buy One Get One Free Weekend, that's why. Who and, logically, Peppa Pig are on offer. If anybody has been holding off on Who stuff due to price, now's the time. Just don't expect to see any Dalek voice changer helmets around- my branch sold a dozen in four hours and promptly ran out.

I was talking to a member of staff in the Birmingham brance of the Entertainer, and apparently they have hidden all the Dr Who figures at the back of the store until they find out who the new Doctor is.
I did TELL them Tennant was still going for another year, but no...

That does seem a little odd to say the least - given that Christmas is coming up they have decided that they don't want to have Doctor Who figures out to sell to the parents who might be looking for presents, all because in over thirteen months time there will be a different actor in the role. It is a rare case of a shop actually wanting to not sell product that they otherwise could.

They've been out a while. Only place I've seen them on shelves is FPG and A1, though I hear some TRU's have them.

I can't beleive that figure was even released. It's more of an accessory/prop if anything as far as purpose goes.

By the end of the local Woolies, the only toys left at all were Destroyed Cassandra and Gelth Zombie figures at 50p left. Even then they did not sell!

Load of crap. Reminds me of the left over frames that held together the weapon sets in the old and new TMNT toys. Cassandra is not even destroyed in her box illustration either. Still the 'toy' is something that stays amusing if unopened

Figures based on 'The Invasion' Cybermen and 'The Tomb of the Cybermen' er, Cybermen (with cybermats) were spotted today in a shop window. I was tremendously excited by this surprising discovery. Apparently there are 4 figures in this range. Collect them all and build the Cyber-Controller from 'Tomb'!
It's like someone is making toys just for me.
