Latest figurines arrived this morning - the War Doctor and the Special Weapons Dalek. I haven't been terribly impressed with the capturing of people's faces in the range so far - especially Timothy Dalton's Rassilon. However, I showed the War Doctor figurine to a colleague (not a fan of the programme) and asked if he knew who it was - and he recognised John Hurt. It is a very good likeness.
As for the Special Weapons Dalek, my only criticism is that it is a bit too clean. When seen in Remembrance of the Daleks it was all oil-stained and grubby.
Next confirmed figurine in August will be a Scarecrow from Human Nature / Family of Blood. With it should be the Ninth Doctor, from what I can work out. Either that or the Ironside Dalek. September definitely sees the release of the Morbius Monster figurine.
I loved the War Doctor as soon as I got it out of the box and I agree about the special weapons Dalek. I've often wondered was it supposed to look so oily or did the props people go overboard with the lubrication?
ReplyDeleteJust to say I've seen a photo of the forthcoming Ninth Doctor figurine - and it also looked a pretty good likeness.
DeleteAye I've seen it myself Gerry.
