Doctor Who 1 & 2 SDCC figures

[johnmiic]

I finally got these from entertainment earth.com. These are really high priced, ($40 ea set). Does anyone know are the 1st and 2nd Doctors being released as regular figures-no SDCC exclusives, in the near future? I would like to get them at regular price and sell these on eBay in the future and make some of my money back. I'm keeping them sealed until I hear anything constructive.

I still want these.
Preferably cheaper than the £25+ they're asking.
I just want the Doctors!

There is a rumor of an Eleven Doctors figure set to be released sometime in 2010. The other rumor about the set is that the Eighth Doctor (Paul McGann)
figure will be an exclusive to the set.

[Gorn Captain]

Great!
I don't want McGann, so thankfully I can skip that one.

And how much would they be asking for that set? £120?

I already have doctors 4-6...

I really want to open these but I'm going to have to sit on them until I see a cheaper set come out. Character Options has a habit of re-releasing stuff over and over so no loss for now I guess.

Great review! I think the problem in the color versions of the figures are there are few color stills available of the first 2 Doctors. We are so used to seeing them in Black and White seeing them in color, is a shock. I think Richard Hurndall looked quite different from William Hartnell. Most distinctly their noses when seen in profile were quite different. Honestly tho, unless they had hired Peter Cushing to play it like Hartnell, and not as his movie version, I don't think you could have found a better actor to reprise the role.

I think Hurndall did a decent job if he was portraying William Hartnell in the Three Doctors but that's about it.

I always said Willie Nelson would have been the way to go for a perfect William Hartnell look-alike

I remember that Colin Baker was the "super rare" "one per case" figure for a while.

And after everyone payed $$$$ for him, they released him again....
