    EXO-6 Star Trek "Mirror, Mirror" Figures

    Those two look amazing together. My favorite Exo-6 releases. Thinking a little gloss on Spock’s hair might be nice. My only real complaint about the figure is that the hair is a little flat and plasticky, and Nimoy’s hair in TOS was pretty shiny. Wonder if a little sheen would bring it to life.

    Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who Figures

    All the Zavvi figs are unavailable again, it looks like. I wonder if they’re really sold out or if Zavvi realized they were screwing up the orders. I was considering trying to exchange my unwanted 10th Doctor for the 12th, but guess not.

    Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who Figures

    I’m really pleased. Maybe I got lucky, but mine has no problems so far. Good paint, decent joints, all buttons present. It’s everything I hoped for when the re-issue was announced. I kinda can’t believe it. Much prefer it to the original release. My only complaint is that this one came in a...

    Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who Figures

    Rather than battle Zavvi’s clueless customer service, I rolled the dice and ordered another Fourth Doctor after receiving 10 by mistake the first time. It just arrived—boxed totally differently than my last order — and it’s the right one. So they do exist.

    Looks great there. That the re-release head with Eldrad and stand from the original? What’s the clothing?

    It wouldn't shock me if the 10th was the first fig to arrive and they just sent that out to everyone.

    Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who Figures

    I also got the wrong figure -- 10 instead of 4. Maybe I'm a cockeyed optimist, but I doubt Zavvi is actually sold out. The Fourth Doctor is still available as a preorder, so I would guess the reps are getting a "not available" message because the item hasn't made it into the inventory system...

    That looks like “449” to me, though “669” also could be a contender.

    Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who Figures

    They’re frustrating, that’s for sure. I passed on all the BC figs until they knocked Pertwee out of the park. Now I have Delgado on pre-order, and I hope I don’t regret it. I’d hoped Pertwee was the turning point where BC really stepped up their game across the line, but now I’m not so sure...

    EXO-6 Star Trek "General Discussion" 1/6 Line

    The nose and hair make me think it’s definitely Shran. Pretty far removed from the TOS Andorian look.

    Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who Figures

    The original BC Fourth included Eldrad’s hand and the Key to Time as well as the yo-yo, all cut from the re-issues. But I ordered as soon as Zavvi put up the new version and never saw a second head solicited. These were always budget offerings. The smiling Tom sculpt wasn’t included in the...

    Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who Figures

    Yeah, same. I’d have liked to have the hand, as Hand of Fear is one of my favorite stories, but it would have wound up in the box, I expect. Don’t care about the rest of the stuff, and I prefer the new stand (though it will probably stay in the box as well). An inflation calculator suggests...

    Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who Figures

    This looks pretty great to me, or as great as I could have reasonably expected from a cut-price re-release. Definitely prefer this version to the original. Face looks much better, coat saturation looks better, scarf hangs better. Hope I get a good one.

    Thanks. Sorry to hear the disappointing verdict. Guess I’ll look at mine in hand before deciding whether to keep it.

    The lower face makes me think of Angelina Jolie.

    Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who Figures

    Is the new figure taller, and is the red in the coat more saturated? The original outfit always looked a bit dusty to me, so I might prefer more saturation even if the color’s not screen accurate. The placement of the waistcoat buttons is much better on the new one — if only all the buttons...

    1/6 Hot Toys - TMS 078 - The Book of Boba Fett: Boba Fett

    I really enjoyed BoBF, but I also went in with no real affection for BF or expectations for how he should behave. I actually preferred BoBF to the better-received Kenobi. The latter struck me as a runaround calculated so all the toys could be put back nicely, while BoBF aimed to provide some...

    Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who Figures

    Out of the entire line, I’ve only gotten the third Doctor, which is an amazing figure, and now the fourth, as he’s my favorite Doctor. I’d like a Capaldi but the first version has a mediocre sculpt, that anemic coloring and an ugly joint at the neck that can’t be hidden. Smith looks very much...

    Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who Figures

    The 5 o’clock shadow was the deal-killer for me on the original release, so this is a huge improvement in my book.

    Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who Figures

    I ordered through Zavvi, so I kinda hope BC ships first so I can cancel if they look bad.
