    Custom of the Week - 11/30/2015 - The 12th Doctor

    This week the spotlight falls on palitoy's Capaldi. Martin's threads combined with a topnotch head make this one fit right in with the best BBP efforts in the Who eight inch scale. Keep 'em coming Brian!

    Really thrilled to be posting this one. The 12th Doctor is the closest I've felt to a classic Doctor since the series returned, so I've been game to get him into Mego format after BBP's got cancelled. It came out better than i hoped and that had nothing to do with me ;). Head expansion- Me Paints and outfit- Martin from

      I'm honoured but it's more Martin's mad skills than mine.

          Such a nice figure, I like the regeneration head sculpt way better than the other one they use on all his other CO toys!

            Yeah cause it looks like the Doctor. I find the others look like a generic action figure of Peter Capaldi in his personal life.

              I love this figure.

              Peter Capaldi was the unsung hero of the BBC until recently. I am glad he is getting the recognition he deserves later in his career. Brian hit the nail on the head when he said that of the "new doctors" he reminds one most of a classic Dr Who.

              If it's to you taste, Capaldi played a suitably slimy and treacherous Count De Richeleiu in the 1st season of the current BBC "Musketeers" series. It is a lot of fun.

                          great fig, but I can’t help but see Christopher Lloyd in that head sculpt....give him some wild hair and he’s an instant Doc Brown.

                            Great custom and good COTW choice.

                            Almost bid on him on ebay but was out "snipped".

                              All he needs is a pair of sunglasses and a guitar from FTC.
