    Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who Figures

    I just can't believe the Facebook fan page and especially the admin are so defensive of this wrongdoing. Any mention of this fraud is met with long paragraphs defending BCS or simply getting banned. (Mind you, there are BCS staff who are on that page and do 'like' posts sometimes, so it's...

    Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who Figures

    'Coincidently' the same name shared by the spares and overstock page back on the old BCS website... (obviously not a coincidence) It's still a bit of a grey area legally, however we can assume the the files were created or paid for by BCS which makes the file itself property of BCS. So nobody...

    I can confirm this new activity is being investigated by the liquidators Begbies Traynor. It will be considered by the Joint Liquidators’ statutory investigation. The store has made approximately £8100 in sales with a further £7,000 being held in stock. Of concern is the nature of the stock as...

    I emailed the two guys overseeing the liquidation. The response was specifically from Stephen Katz though, one of the aforementioned guys assigned to the case. I wouldn't bother them with any requests for a refund as they don't deal with that and that stage has long since passed, the money has...

    Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who Figures

    I received an update from the liquidators about possible fraud.... They were surprisingly forthcoming: "Thank you for your email below and for the information provided. I confirm that the Joint Liquidators’ statutory investigations into the affairs of the Company, including but not limited to...

    To be honest, it seems like the production never actually got as far as tooling the moulds for any of the pre-orders. This is based on conversations with the liquidators and the fact that in the past, we always got behind-the-scenes pictures of the tooling and manufacturing in the 'Production...

    Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who Figures

    When all the stuff happened with BCS, I was convinced that there were grounds for fraud charges, especially given some information people found on the Facebook page about the liquidators confirming that production hadn't started on any of the pre-orders as well as the launch of not one but 2...

    I thought the go-to reason was 'Covid'? They rolled out that excuse over and over again.

    As suspected, he did prioritise that personal loan! There was only just over £9k remaining. It's actually quite impressive they managed to clear nearly that whole £200k, it might lead one to believe that the company was kept afloat to try and reduce that specific loan down to a manageable...

    I agree with this to an extent, HOWEVER; that loan was taken out in 2017, when the company was in a reasonably good position and delivering on products, generating discussions and good will towards BCS. I would be optimistic, too. I refuse to believe that he didn't know about the seriousness of...

    Ouch, that's karma! I know I shouldn't be, but I am a little pleased there will be actual repercussions for the owner's mismanagement and lies about the company being okay and continuing to take orders. I thought they'd get away scot-free because it was a limited company.

    I just got banned from the BCS Facebook group. They deleted a post discussing the new financial statement and I argued that people should be allowed to vent and discuss the new information. The admin said the constant negative posts were bad for his mental health :ROFLMAO: What about the...

    Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who Figures

    Well, if they took them away before they called in the Administrators it's (un)fair game, unfortunately. China is fast to recycle old molds as they're big and need to be stored. Maybe a few heads and stuff might make it over, but if the figure wasn't actually in production and they were just...
