New CLASSIC Doctor Who Figures

[spotter]

They all look fantastic !!!

How much are they going to cost - apeice ?

BTW,
It's embarassing for a Who fan to adnit this, but what story did Colin appear in with that suit ?
I've seen them all, and I just don't remember it.

Hey Mike

the Blue Suit was not used in the series Colin had asked for a wardrobe change when the Big Finish stories started since He hated the garish coat he wore; why electric blue is more sedate I am not really sure though

[jwyblejr]

I'm the same way.
So far I don't have any Classics (i'm waiting for them to come down in price first).....
But when I do buy them eventually, i'll probably only get the Doctors.

It sucks that they don't sell these in stores in the United States.
Yea, they wouldn't be a big sellers, but i'll bet they'd do better then some of the clunker lines I see on the pegs.

They might show up at Suncoast. Maybe Game Stop too. It would be nice if FYE got them.

There's a clip of the blue suit on the special features section on The Three Doctors DVD. It's under the 40th Anniversary piece.

Speaking about the Colin figure, i'm not very happy about them making variations that didn't even appear on the show before they've completed at least all of the Doctors.

I am one of the few people who actually likes Colin, and even I have to say ONE COLIN FIGURE IS ENOUGH !

I might be a little off base here but I think Colin wore a blue suit in Revelation of the Daleks? That would be due to the funeral he attended where the blue color was a show of respect like we wear black at our funerals. I havent seen the story in 20 years but it seems to me that would be a match for the blue color scheme.

Good memory, John ... but you're just a tad off.
Colin did wear a blue cape in Revelation, but under it he wore his regular suit.

BTW
The cape was horrible.
He looked like a court jester

Nah, I just watched that one a couple of months back, he was still wearing the "JNT wants to get fired" suit.

I just got word these are going to be at the SDCC.

[raider5gt]

Yes the figures will feature at this years San Diego Comic Convention as this years convention exclusives.

US and Canadian folks can get them from North American retailer WhoNa but are shipping at a later date.

I've got the coloured 1st and 2nd Doctors on pre-order, £25 for a twin pack isn't that bad.

I would have preferred them to release Pertwee than a variant 6th Doctor though.

I'm wondering if perhaps Pertwee is being purposely saved for something special ?
He seems to be too noticeably nowhere to be found or spoken of.

Perhaps he'll be released with a full-scale Bessie or something as a surprise -- or perhaps even a Classic in-scale TARDIS.

Maybe even a full blown UNIT 5-pack of figures

I have a feeling they're saving him for some reason.

I have a feeling they're saving him for some reason.

Or perhaps there could be "likeness" issues.
Do they automatically have rights to all Doctors likenesses?

Well Dapol made a Pertwee action figure in the 80's, so i'm assuming his likeness is not much of an issue...

It's also possible the head honcho's at Character think he's an unpopular Doctor and are planning to release him without any fanfair last.

Most older fans love Jon Perwee, but i've met many younger Who fans that don't really like him all that much.

They lump him in with "the old men before Tom Baker"

Crazy as that sounds, but it's true.

[palitoy]

I disagree, I think Pertwee is one of the more popular Doctors but Character is likely holding on to him for a third wave. You can't release all the Doctors at once.

[YANOULI]

Well, i got my colour version Hartnell and Troughton figures today and they're great.
The sculpts are better than they look in the pictures ( especially Hartnell ), so hopefully Pertwee will be too.

The Dalek saucer Commander is nice ( it was nice to finally get a Dalek without any paint scratches ) and looks great next to my custom Invasion Earth Dalek.
The ear pipes on the Cyberman are made of a harder plastic, compared to the squishy ones on the BAF Tomb and Invasion Cybermen.

Roll on McCoy and McGann, more classic enemies and some companions.
