i'd go with gforce as well. it shouldnt be too hard as boots, cape, gloves, belt could all be molded off the ken owashi figure!
I'm as big a Battle of the Planets/Gatchaman nut as the next guy, but given the luke-warm response to the most recent North American nostalgia wave of BoTP product a few years ago, I'm not quite sure how they could market this.
It would probably work best if piggybacking a Japanese release like the microman style Ken or the 12" Medicom and Cool Girl Figures did. Although more often then not, we're stuck without Keyop and Tiny to round out the line-ups.
I know many naysayers have previously expressed concern of the viability of a Doctor who line outside the UK, but I think this is the perfect time and the success of the new Doctor has created many new fans (like myself). It seems like the current line is relatively successful in North America from my observations of the venues they are sold. They seem to be very popular at one of our local record store/pop culture shop mall chains here in Toronto, not the mention the comic stores that get them via Diamond.
In this hypothetical line, who would folks like to see in a first wave of four Doctor Who figures?
New Doctor or Classic Who or mix?
For me Tom Baker, Leela, Cyberman and the Master (I guess it'd have to be the deformed version to fit the 4th Doctor's era) would be a great start given that there would be nostalgia across the Pond in the UK for the Denis Fisher's. I would imagine Robot and Dalek would be too much to tool up for the first wave.
If they decided to start with the current Doctor, then I guess 11th Doctor and Amy are the shoo-ins. The winning costume for Amy would be her 1st appearance kissogram police outfit.
