Re: Classic series toys!
Isn't this a thing of pure, nostalgic beauty?

Re: Classic series toys!
Interesting, the Cyberman looks the same between the B&W and color versions. So how does one tell which version they've purchased?
Why does Troughton's recorder look like it's got something on the end of it?

Re: Classic series toys!
The Doctor figure will be all colourful if you've bought the colour version. (Plus, look closely; the B&W and the Colour Trough have slightly different hairstyles).Patrick wrote:Interesting, the Cyberman looks the same between the B&W and color versions.

Re: Classic series toys!
Yep, those are very nice. The black and white option is a nice touch.

Re: Classic series toys!
Very nice indeed. A Tad expensive - but at least you're getting two figures for your dosh. I don't think I could justify £15 plus quid for a 6th in a change of coat colour though.Zoltar wrote:Yep, those are very nice. The black and white option is a nice touch.

I predict Delgardo/Beevers/Ainsley Master figures will be the next announced releases.
Oh, and a classic series Tardis playset.

The many faces of the Master, that would be good. I'd love to see a classic console room playset, sounds like the perfect release for Christmas time.Sid Seadevil wrote:Agreed. I really like this classic series range. It has so much potential.

Re: Classic series toys!
I've already ordered the colour versions of the first and second Doctors - just in case they never come out singly. The Dalek and Cyberman will be going straight onto eBay in an attempt to lessen the cost, mind.
I knew buying that fifth Doctor figure was a bad idea...

Re: Classic series toys!
Well it appears the range is selling much better than anticipated. Seems as if the kids, and not just the die-hard older fans, are showing interest in the classic Doctors.Zoltar wrote:The many faces of the Master, that would be good.

Which is a very good thing indeed.

Yep, it absolutely is. [/quote]<Grumpy Old Git>Of course, these kids today don't know that they're born - what with all this quality merchandise and specialist shops.

Excellent Grumpy Old Git character, Sid. Rather reminds me of Dana Carvey's "Grumpy Old Man" from Saturday Night Live.
When I was growing up, I had one specialty comics retailer in downtown Colorado Springs from which I could obtain Who-themed merchandise. I remember buying this really cool Doctor Who board game. In fact, I think my parents may still have it in a box in their garage.

Re: Classic series toys!
That's the only place I ever saw any DW merchandise as a kid, comic shops. Everywhere else, popularity on the local NJN station or no, pretty much had no idea what Doctor Who was.Patrick wrote:When I was growing up, I had one specialty comics retailer in downtown Colorado Springs from which I could obtain Who-themed merchandise.

Re: Classic series toys!
Where is wave 2 of the Classic Series toys?
As for me, growing up I had to go an hour out of town to the comics shop in the State Capitol to find DW merch. The only thing we got was a crap plastic sonic screwdriver that cost an outrageous amount and didn't quite size to scale. Needless to say I never bought it. Still, I did buy a few records (back when music still came on vinyl discs).

Re: Classic series toys!
Got the Cyberman set yesterday, and they're all lovely. My only real beef is that the Invasion one has no articulation in his neck.
Re: Classic series toys!
Well, my camera isn't working at the moment, but you can see them all here:

If you look closely, the Tomb Cyberman comes with 2 Cybermats - one also from Tomb, shown sat in his hand, and a Wheel in Space one, seen in front of him. They're by far the coolest accessories I've seen with any figure yet.
And the Cyber-Controller (for those not in the know) comes in seperate parts, each sold with the other figures - so it's effectively 5 for the price of 4,

Cool.
Got a Zygon, complete with The Giant Robot's head, for less than 4 quid in Tesco yesterday.
