    I agree w/you. The Venture Bros line is phenominal.
    If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

      Cool Tardis. I hope they eventually make one to scale for the 8" figures.

        This AFI photo shows the Doctor has a disclaimer addressing the head size.

          nice big pic. thanks

          I like the big head disclaimer. Love the master and the cyberleader headsculpt. I was hoping to see the Sonarian on a smaller body. That was part of the appeal of that character - the height. He does appear a bit smaller, but I think that is forced from the perspective of the photo and the Doctors big hair.

          I am looking at the above venture pics wherein you can see Molotov's boots as well. I am a bit torn on the reuse of some of the parts sculpts. Some of them are pretty cool and make sense, but others make me think kitbash rather than new production figure. Looking forward to a further press photos and developments on both of these lines.

            Thank you so much for the closeup pics. I'm having trouble controlling my drool.

              It's great that there are so many Venture Bros characters coming out! Hopefully this means that the line has been popular.

              It may not be the preference of some of the folks around here, but this is where the next generation of Mego fans are coming from, so we should be rooting for ALL product in the retro style from all the companies.

              Wonder how they are keeping Molatov's girls from popping out! (hopefully some solid wire). Note how they are smartly avoiding her surname.

                      I am definitely snagging that first set of Dr. Who figures when they come out. They look great, and the fact they've got accessories out the wazoo is a plus (sonic screwdriver, a Cybermat, and a removable helmet for Style = win!

                      Although I'm not a Venture Bros. collector, I'm snagging a Molotov Cocktease for a good friend of mine. Great work as always, BBP!

No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

                        Pretty excited seeing the Who figures. Will we also get a Tardis in scale? Is that small Tardis for display purposes only?

                          According to the placard, the small TARDIS is a "Bobble" type thingy.

                          In the most recent MM podcast, they mention that they might have a TARDIS to show in time for San Diego this summer.

                            I liokle the who figures, but instead of 3 villians , they really needed to make a companion! Leela ,Sarah Jane or Romana 1 or 2 even Harry would have been nice.

                              Brian's closer pic looks much nicer. The Cyberman is very retro. It bumps up to my 'probably buy' list!

                                Long time Doctor Who fan here. I'll try to get at least the Tom Baker Doctor and the Cyberleader. This version of the Master is a maybe for me.

                                My best friend and I were talking on the phone yesterday and when you finally do a Matt Smith Doctor he should have a removable fez. I think he should also have the mop, and his sonic screwdriver is a no-brainer.

                                In the future I'd like to see the following companions:
                                Sarah Jane Smith
                                Leela
                                Romana I or II
                                Harry Sullivan
                                and maybe have K-9 tossed in there with either version of Romana or with Leela.
