The Gerry Anderson store indicated they are looking into taking on the line. Not sure if that means purchasing manufactured stock or the ability to produce themselves…

Surely there is a point where this tipped over into fraud? Still accepting pre-orders when you have already spent £800k+ of deposits/prepayments means they knowingly took money for products they knew they would never deliver. I can’t really fathom how they ended up so deep in the hole.

I can’t believe the announced new Gerry Anderson 6 inch figures this year - not just that but multiple waves. Hard to believe they thought these latest pre orders would solve the liquidity problems - that is probably the most disingenuousness chapter in this story. There is pretty much zero...

Sometimes the choice of hairstyles can be to do with licensing arrangements. If either the actor or the license holder take an aversion to certain looks there is not much that can be done. In most cases we will never know! I would love the bun look, but equally Janeway is already one of the...

Yes, it's confirmed that they no longer have the license.

Just saw that Big Chief Studios in the UK is trying to sell the standard Sisko pre-order for £309. Scandalous pricing! Another reason to always order direct!

I think the current strategy makes a lot of sense. Most people will “tap out” once they have got their core bridge crews from their preferred franchises. Pushing out the whole cast of TNG or TOS now would be exciting, but the line would lose momentum quickly. People are more likely to pick up...

The close-ups on the faces are brilliant, and do so much more justice than those early promotional pictures. I just don't think I can justify almost £300 each to upgrade my existing figures, which are already pretty good, to wait two years to upgrade to something marginally better.

The individual elements look good but for some reason it’s not all fitting together. The hair definitely looks helmety and just flattered and more matte compared to their faces. If people want them - awesome! But I’m not sure if there’s enough to upgrade my existing figures or for a newcomer...

Got my Janeway! Thank you Nanjin for putting up a second wave so quickly.

Just tried to order and she’s sold out!

The scepticism I have with the definitive editions is really just whether there is enough demand. The originals had decent runs, we are about to get the “cheaper” reissues from Zavvii in decent production numbers… will there be enough people willing to rebuy another version at a much higher...

I just can’t imagine how they will get any preorders for these given the price point. Any person who is willing to pay this much for a Dalek is going to have half a dozen Doctor Who products already on pre-order.

I honestly think they are in really danger of overplaying their hand with Doctor Who. There is real fatigue amongst fans, who are awaiting a lot of pre-orders, and I can't see them putting down money for definitive editions until the backlog clears. There's also the risk that if the cheaper...

Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker The whole thing is kind of fascinating to me. Big Chief are so behind on their production schedule, I can?t imagine how they have the ability to produce these without causing further delays. Unless a huge upfront order from Zavvi allows...
