Good grief, I can't believe what they're charging for this in GBP. I loved K-9 when I was a child but not sure I can bring myself to pay that much...

Yes k9 should have been twice cheaper. Or at least come with much more but still cheaper than that.

Yeah this would have been a fun thing to have, but not for almost $200 shipped.

Just curious, but am I the only person who thought K-9 was annoying? It was mostly the voice, but I can't stand that thing.

Ouch...that is pricey for a tin dog

I know this probably doesn't belong in a Tom Baker thread, but here's a preview they just showed of the new Definitive Tennant sculpts. And apparently they're going to incorporate moving eyes into these as well (which I can't say I'm too crazy about now after seeing how terribly that turned out on my Asmus Gandalf...)

Eh, not very good so far. Looks like a caricature of 10. Honestly, I thought their 2nd release with the blue outfit had a great sculpt and just needed good paint(common theme). Moveable eyes is cool in theory, but looks really weird when not pulled off well

Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker

I like the who farted sculpt (serious).

Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker

Yeah the second sculpt isn't too bad, but doesn't really seem like much of an improvement over the Series 4 sculpt. Unless they're just counting on it having a much better paint job than that one did.

Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker

Oh no.... moving eyes.

Maybe better off using the money this would cost to pay for a top end repaint of the original sculpt.


How does Matt Smith look? They show him yet?

Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker

No Smith preview yet.

Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker

So to date there has been no Definitive Dr Who figure yet made and in customers hands, right? This Definitive thing is still just... coming soon.

Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker

More like coming eventually.

Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker

I hope this doesn't go the way Bond has.

Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker

I believe the new definitive 4th also has moving eyes

 

[Wor-Gar]

Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker

These Definitive heads will definitively look like mannequins like that Gandalf does with their sunken black eyes.

Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker

Moving eyes are usually more of a pain in the ass than they are worth, and in my experience even when done well often only look good/right in one or two positions anyway. I guess we'll find out how well, or not, this works to bcs stuff when the definitive/s18 Fourth Doctor hits.

As for the sculpts, I think the 'what?' face looks best, but I think a lot of Tennant's likeness is in the eyes and eyebrows, and his face changes quite a bit across seasons, plus he has a very expressive face to boot, so I'll wait to see a paint up before I fully judge.

At least it's not nightmare fuel like the toothy grin sculpt was...

Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker

We should just make this thread the general Big Chief Doctor Who thread. (It already is, pretty much)

 

[Wor-Gar]

Or someone should finally start the Definitive Doctor Who thread...
