    BBP Doctor Who, series 5 and 6 (not including the lunch box set)

    I wonder, has the line-up for the next waves been decided upon?

    I've seen Chang/Mr. Sin, Kraal and Anti-Man, Eldrad and Greel so far.
    None of these really excite me as the previous ones have. They're not exactly Classic Who except for Chang maybe.
    I'm still hoping for some more iconic and dynamic ones, like an Ice Warrior or Sea Devil for example.
    I've bought all the previous ones, but I don't think I'll be spending money on figures like Eldrad and Anti-Man.

    So what's coming next?

      That's great news.

      So far, I've bought everything from BSG, Doctor Who and SMDM that BBP have released, so don't think I've lost the faith. But I no longer have the $$$ to "collect them all" unless I'm really 100% convinced that it's a must have figure.
      And Doctor Who is still top of my list at this time.

      I also think that kids (not just us) would rather go for a cool warrior figure, instead of let's say Anti-Man. True, he's from a great Who story, but he just doesn't grab me as much as a Cyberman or Morbius.
      That said, I'd kill for a Jamie figure, but he was pretty much an "action guy" himself...

      Thanks for listening, much appreciated!

        A Zygon or Ice Warrior would be cool. Especially considering the Latter's recent return to Who.

        The Voc Robots and more, different Cybermen wouldn't be amiss either.

          My biggest want (besides more Doctors) is a Delgado Master

          I'm kinda getting tired of Fourth Doctor baddies

            Agreed! I'd also LOVE a Sarah Jane Smith.

              I've only recently discovered Doctor Who, so I don't know a lot about the classic characters---I'd love to get the Tenth Doctor, though.

                I hope we still get Eldrad and Kraal for sure. I actually would have taken them all (Anti-Man probably being my least desired) but it was a great selection. I think the more from Talons the better, personally. I was hoping for a Jago and Litefoot. They have their own successful series of audio plays now.

                  Since Zygons and Ice Warriors need more and elaborately sculpted body pieces, perhaps it would be logical to have a mix of figures, two that need more sculpt and two that rely more on cloth (hopefully cheaper) accessories.
                  That's why series 1 and 2 had a healthy mix of both.

                  I do like the Kraal figure, and as said, a Delgado Master would be most welcome (and perhaps cheaper to make).

                  If what we got next was Chang, Kraal, Master and Ice Warrior, I couldn't resist getting a full set again. But that's just me dreaming out loud...

                      With the Dalek tooling was any thought given to turning it into Davros?

                        I'd be all over a Davros figure! With him and the upcoming Dalek, we'd more or less have the heavy hitters of the Doctor's enemies. Good to see we're also getting the First and Eleventh Doctors, so hopefully more Doctors and companions will be coming in 2014.

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."

                            I like all the characters so far. I want as many monsters, creatures & aliens as possible, and more doctors. Im kinda meh on companions, and if i could get my druthers, it'd be that no corners get cut on outfits- for instance- a shirt & vest should be 2 pieces, not sewn together as one piece, ala Scaroth. Still- it's a great line so far! Just keep em coming!

                              How about naming your perfect set of four figures?

                              Mine would be Pat Troughton, Jamie, an Ice Warrior and an Abominable Snowman.
                              It would have a nice "arctic' theme...
