Big Chief Studios Fourth and Tenth Doctor 1:6 Scale Figures - Final Production

Big Chief have just released these excellent pictures of the finished production portraits of their upcoming Fourth and Tenth Doctor figures.

As you can see both are impressively sculpted and have retained the excellent paint jobs from the prototypes. The Fourth Doctor encapsulates that sombre mood from his early Philip Hinchcliffe/Robert Holmes stories very well.

Stay tuned for a review of the Fourth Doctor later in the year.

Final Doctor/Dalek Toys R Us sets online... Sort of...

Toys R Us have finally added the remaining exclusive Doctor/Dalek sets to their site after starting to appear in stores. The only issue with this is that you cannot order them for home delivery as they are 'Out of Stock'. Damn it all to Hades! So close and yet so far! I'm sure it won't be long until they do turn up, and I have signed up for their update service so I shall let you all know when they do appear!

The 3rd and 8th Doctor sets definitely take the crown as the best from these eleven sets (even if one is based on a comic book). I just wish they'd have given Hartnell his darker, smaller chequered trousers. Ah well, the Dalek is lovely. We've been waiting for a standard 60s Supreme Dalek for years! The 4th Doctor set is the most disappointing. Seriously, the third time this version has been released and they still haven't fixed the waistcoat and cravat?!

Will you be getting these sets? Which are your favourites? Sound off below!

UPDATE: They came and went in seconds! The sets were available earlier this afternoon for a few minutes before the were out of stock again! McGann and Pertwee went just as I was about to check out. So I've managed to secure myself a Hartnell and a Baker. No idea as to when they'll be despatched, but I'll keep you all posted for the imminent reviews...

Classic Sonic Screwdrivers now have Classic Sounds!

So after we paid £25 for the Pertwee and Baker Sonics, the bloody things get re-released at over half the price! Still it's a kick in the teeth for those who bought the re-releases earlier in the year as they now feature two extra sounds! So that's four in total and two are from the classic series!

The sounds are as follows:
Low Frequency
High Frequency
Door Opening sound from Inferno
Mine Activator sound from The Sea Devils

Hopefully all of these sounds will turn up on the Fifth and Eighth Doctor Sonic Screwdrivers also due for a release.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated

The biggest of thank you's to everyone who donated and helped spread the word, and of course to Kat for taking the time to make all of this a possibility. I wouldn't have been able to do any of this without her. I was totally gobsmacked by the whole thing. I cannot thank you all enough.

Final Doctor/Dalek Packs turning up in Toys R Us stores across the UK

The last remaining packs are making their way into Toys R Us stores. Unfortunately there is no sign of them on the Toys R Us website, but with the figures appearing in stores it is unlikely to be long before they show up online.

The final sets consist of the following:

First Doctor (original re-release) with Supreme Dalek - The Dalek Master Plan
Third Doctor with Invisible/Spray Painted Dalek - Planet of the Daleks
Fourth Doctor (duffle coat/slight variant) with Dalek and removeable gun - Genesis of the Daleks
Eighth Doctor with Dalek Alpha - Children of the Revolution (comic book)
Eleventh Doctor with Dalek Strategist
