I really want to get these figures!

I saw on Entertainment Earth's website that Sutekh, Leela, Scaroth and the Morbius Monster are now listed as being out in July! :( That's 4 months after they were first scheduled. Is EE reliable date wise?

EDIT: Just confirmed it with BBP on twitter. Sounds like unavoidable delays. They hope to launch them at SDCC now. Which is a bit crazy the way things worked out as it'll mean almost a year between releases. Hopefully they'll make up some time with future figures.

Well, that news makes me breathe easier and worries me. Breathe easier because one site said the Leela figures sey would come out now, worries me because the other figures fromBBP all come out in july as well.

[THE FALCON]

Nice pics Jonwes.

Factory issues has caused the delay. Don't worry, we promise there won't be another year between this wave and the next waves.

Finally got the cyberleader today, took a while since it wasn't available in Canada. I know it was an exclusive but it seems readily available in the States. The figure looks good from the front but if you look at it from the side the head is way too thin, also the head in general is too small, he also has baggy trousers. I also took another look at the Doctor, it looks like the head sculpt is the same as Raan from space 1999 with hair sculpted over it. The doctor's head is too big and so are most of the space 1999 heads that I believe the head was borrowed from. Raan is Played by Peter Cushing and the head sculpt is cast in gold on this figure. I haven't any proof of this, but you can compare yourself, I will be ordering a Raan head soon and will sculpt hair on it and see what happens

Forgot to mention that the cyberleader's chest piece is glued on and there is alot of extra glue visible

But other than that, you like it?

I don't really see the resemblance. The Who figure looks like Tom Baker.

The fact that CTVT and BBP are different companies, in competition, with figures in the same scale, pretty much prevents BBP from re-using the Space:1999, Rann, head. If one company swipes another company's head I think lawsuits would fly and the releases would grind to a halt while it was fought out in court. However lets look at the heads and compare. If I may borrow Brian's pics from this thread and compare with CTVT's Rann:






You can see the differences. Both heads do have a dour grimace-similar expression but I think that's as far as it goes. Since the Rann head is based on Peter Cushing what a great base it would make for the Movie Doctor he played!

[THE FALCON]

That "dour grimace" expression is the only thing I don't like about Tom Baker's Doctor Who figure. I always remembered him with a big smile and wide opened eyes.

[HumanWolfman]

I lkie these more each time I see them. Hope they are gonna be in TRU.

[THE FALCON]

That would be nice and would save me on shipping.

The 4th doctor looks great. The 1st doctor that they had on display at the toy fair looks good too. I'm wondering how far their agreement stretches. Will they be able to do all 11 doctors eventually? I'd love to have the whole set if that's the case. If it stops early on though, it would be pretty disappointing.

I just got my Cyberman. I think he's terrific, though I do have to admit that the head seems a little small, making the "fit" between head and body not a perfect match. When you look at where the lower circular part of the headpiece is to join the costume, there's a gap, and the head seems "plugged in" a little too high up.

Other than that, I love him. This new DW line does have some small issues to be ironed out (like Tom's hat), but it's just step one.
I'm in this for the long run...

You and me both, brother. Absolutely cannot wait for Hartnell. My favourite characters in my favourite format (Mego)... It's totally win/win for me!!
