Good lord. If you're a Doctor Who fan, good luck resisting this -- a massive collection of all 11 Doctors in action figure form, inside exclusive TARDIS packaging. I never thought I'd buy any Doctor Who toys, but even I'm tempted to buy this set, due from Underground Toys in August-ish for an unknown price (I sincerely doubt it will be less than $100). I honestly have no idea if this is the first figure for any of the Doctors -- I'm assuming not -- but to be able to get all 11 incarnations in one fell swoop... well, that's convenient as hell. Although I find it kind of weird that the figure that looks least like his real-life Doctor is Matt Smith, numero 11. Was it too hard capturing Matt Smith's weird face in plastic? Were they afraid they would frighten small children if it was too accurate? (Via ToyNewsI)

The Fifth is my Doctor. When I started watching classic Who not too long ago, I started with Peter Davison's era because they were the only ones I could get on my cable system. I've since caught the 6th, 7th, and 8th Doctors' eras and am in the process of watching the 1st Doctor's era (what's left of it anyway). So far, the Fifth is still my favorite.

Once I own these I can die happy. And I want them mounted on my coffin, Jon Pertwee style.

...or a great porn. *puts on sunglasses dramatically* Yeaaaaaaah!

Feast your eyes: http://tvcreamtowers.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/cb1.jpg The sixth Doctor was something special wasn't he?

The first released 4th Doctor figure matched his look in 'Genesis of the Daleks'. He wore that same outfit for his entire first season. I think it's the same one that comes with the classic Tardis set: http://www.entertainmentearth.com/images/%5CAUTOIMAGES%5CUT03538lg.jpg I'm deeply ashamed of how nerdy I am that I felt compelled to answer this.

The Third Doctor <i>did</i> actually wear a cape from time to time. Ruffled shirts, velvet, and the odd cape. His first episode had him stealing clothes from (I think?) an opera singer, and they ran with that sort of `60s/`70s neo-Edwardian look for his Doctor. Here's one of them: http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/ilove/years/1970/gallery/pertwee.shtml

The Fourth is my Doctor. Don't feel too old! I even bought a replica scarf on eBay and tried to make my boyfriend wear it... Too much info? At the risk of being called bitchypants, I am weirded out by them all being the same height.
-
well... the figures never look articulated in the promo shots... mostly because they are protos... but all the figures are fully (and pretty well) articulated. All of them (except for the all new 8th) are a color or sculpt variation of an earlier figure. and Matt Smith looks pretty good in person. I too wish there was more love for McGann... for better or worse, he was my true introduction to the world of Who... I've listened to a few of the audios, he's the best... I wish they'd do a separate flashback miniseries following the 8th doctor through the time war, but I know it would never happen.
-
I'm buying this!!!
-
Personally, I'm waiting for the life-sized, anatomically-correct companion collection.
-
Now that has all the makings of a great episode.
-
I would buy a Curse of the Fatal Death set if it came with Jonathan Pryce as The Master.
-
No Peter Cushing. The set is incomplete. Deny it all you want. But who is Who without him? Who knows?
-
Yes! Some great episodes in those seasons. The whole Zagreus arc for one and also 'The Natural History of Fear'.
-
Man, that outfit... How did the producers convince him to wear a clown suit?
-
4 & 5 look the best, and I say this as a 9th Doctor fan. Looks like they're all holding hands and about to have a sing-along!
-
Must... have... number 3. Yeah, I'm old enough that the Third Doctor is "my"y Doctor, dandy that he is. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three...
-
It's up on BBTS for $99.99. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=UND10300&mode=retail&picture=aux1

I've really come to appreciate the 8th doctor in the big finish audio plays. While there's a few clunkers in there, a lot of it is a match for the best of the tv series. In particular the episode which wrapped up the alternate universe that lacked real time is among my favorite of any who. And you have to love just what a bastard Rasalon is shown as in there.
-
The colours do throw me a little, but the multipack is one hell of a great idea. Definitely be getting that.
-
Don't pick on Ten's brainy specs, he likes them.
-
I've never watched a single episode of Dr. Who (something I'm rather proud of) and after seeing several of those figures, I just have to ask. What blind person (or persons) were they paying to costume these people? Yes, I know that some of those Doctors are from early UK television, but damn. That, and wow, why not just give the guy a cape? It's fairly obvious that's the look they're going for with all the long coats they give these guys.
-
The 4th Doctor also wore a red variation of his jacket and scarf during his last season. At some point, the line of Doctor Who figures will probably become like Star Wars figures and we'll get every variation of every character from every episode. Look- there's the 4th Doctor without his jacket from the lost episode "Shada"! And to everyone who's commenting on the pose-ability of these figure- doesn't that assume you'll be taking them out of the collectible case? But that won't make them in Mint condition any more. lol
-
Yes there have been several releases of the 10th Doctor with his coat. I know one was in a Daleks in Manhattan box set, and another one came with 'ghost locating' gear.
-
Tempting, but these are all recolors. The sho-accurate ones are the ones sold seperately and a good collector would go for those. Not saying these are necessarily bad. Just some of them feel... off.
-
Just wondering, can you get the 10th Doctor in his brown coat anywhere else?
-
I. Want. I do agree about the glasses on the Tennant figure. They would have been better off without them. But eleven doctors!
-
I third that emotion. Could be brought back for a two doctor episode. Oh theres that "I'm the last of the time lord thing". I wish they get over it. Or in the words of Monty Python,"GET ON WITH IT".
-
Nope. The first Eccleston figure was poseable but posed. Since then there have been numerous 9th Doctor figures in a static pose.
-
The actual single-carded figures are better articulated than what's normally shown loose, so the ones seen in the box look like ones we'd be getting. After all this time and we still don't get a better articulated [at least cut elbows Character!] Tenth Doctor! He's had the most variants so far and none of them have the high level of arm articulation as the other Docs.
-
It's the first 8th Doctor figure. And I honestly think he was the best Doctor. Full of joy and fun to watch. It's a real shame he only got one movie.
-
@ Christian: You are correct that this is the first 8th Doctor action figure we're getting, but the first Multi-poseable Eccleston figure was released initially as a San Diego Comic Con exclusive back in 2008 and was released in standard cards later in the same year [and is still available]. This version is normally packaged with a severed Auton arm and an Anti-Plastic bomb [but no sonic screwdriver!].
-
Having 11 Figures is just so...uneven. Perhaps they should include a bonus 12th figure, something that ties them together like a Dalek. Or just throw in a Jack Harkness.
-
defintly going to have to get this set. and tom bakers figure looks so scared being made in plastic. Matt face is proably due to what the designers and sculptures had on hand to work with for the figure. not to mention this proably the only way who fans will ever have all elven doctors together in one place. unless they buy the figures one by one.
-
Can't say I am a fan of the glasses on Tennant...looks awkward
-
Listed on Play.com in the UK at £49.99. The rundown indicates that they are a selection of Resculpts, Repaints and Figures that were exclusive to the Forbidden Planet Stores over here. Damn nice item though.
-
Only one here that I haven't got is the 8th Doctor, I'll just wait in hope that he's released seperately. Although I do like the variation of the 3rd Doctor.
-
No Rowan Atkinson, Richard Grant, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Grant, Joanna Lumley?? Epic Fail :-)
-
. . . Or you can do what my roomie and I did and spring for a region-free DVD player and a copy of the R2 movie. :) I swear, it was worth every penny for that player, and DVDs are cheap from Amazon.uk -- even with shipping. We've also got box sets of Ashes To Ashes and other good stuff.
-
£50 in the UK is standard price This is the first McGann (8th) from what I can see and the first poseable 9th (Ecclestone) as the first one was fixed position Though happy to be corrected Though several are remoulds and definite new colouring for some Doctors
-
"Snow White and the Eleven Doctors" next week on FFF.
-
They're probably color variants. I don't remember Pertwee (Doctor 3) being so Green, instead he was wearing a lot of Crimson or Garnet or whatever that reddish purple color is called. I also don't remember that color scheme on McGann (Doctor 8) . But hell yeah it's a must have. Now i can have Cantankerous, Clownish, Pimping, Childish, Innocent, Moody, Manipulative, Suave, Intense, Bewildered and Nitpicky Doctors in one set.
-
Matt smith's figure looks just fine to me.
-
I'm not up on classic Who, but are all the colors accurate? Just watched "Genesis of the Daleks" this weekend, and for some reason I thought the 4th Doctor's coat was more red/brown/rust color than grey. Was that just a one-off color or what?
-
Rewatched? Damn. I've only got my fuzzy recording I made off of the TV. Here in Canada, that is about all I'll ever have. Unless I torrent it, but I'd rather have a legit DVD.
-
I agree, I just rewatched the "movie" and I wish we would have had more screen time with McGann. Is this the first figure of the 8th Doctor? I know there are a number of figs for the other 10...
-
I love the fact that the 8th Doctor is there. Really, I loved his portrayal. It really was too bad he wasn't in any more TV based episodes.
-
I just scared the crap out of my cats...Well I know what I'm buying in August.. and dammit! Matt has an awesome face!
-
You know when you first glance at that picture it looks like all the Doctors are holding hands.
-
Shit I never remember Colin Baker being that Day Glow
-
Oh wow, I totally want this.
