Since the other thread got amazingly long lets move into this one.  Also, as requested, episode discussion does not belongs here but in the entertaining section.

Soooo, who do we think will make the first wave of series 4? I still think the reason we haven't seen any protos is because there are characters from the Agatha Christie ep in it, it was filmed in the first block after all then moved to later in the series.

I am long since past wondering what and when CO will do things. We've had a great look in on things and I tihnk we're somewhat spoiled. We'll see them when we see them. I have given up sweating these things.
Of course the cynic in me says we'll find out when they appear on Ebay.

You're probably right, a general rule of thumb seems to be if you are in a suit or old you will get made, unless you are in the Lazarus episode that is!

One nice thing about the delay in the announcement of their Series 4 figures is that when they are announced it will be a shorter amount of time from showing pictures to releasing the figures...at least that is in theory. It's exciting that the new figures of Jack and Martha are scheduled to be released in June and we've only just seen pictures. Unlike DST who would show the new Buffy line so far in advance that it would continue to be pushed back and delayed and then not "recieved" well enough so they cancel them 3 months after they were originally slated to be released...sorry, still bitter!  Oh, and Thank you Lior for creating a thread of Episode discussion! ;D |

Thank you Chaos for creating a thread of Episode discussion! ;D There used to be an episode discussion in the Entertainment section a while back, but it was abandoned. I tried to resuscitate that topic, but alas, not.  I am glad that the two discussions are separate now. I mean I've been keeping up with the new series through torrents, but over a year ago that wasn't the case and I hated coming across spoilers. Anyways, about the toys I'm thinking that my toy buying priorities will land more in favor of the Classic DW toy line, when that hits, instead of the new series. I'll still get the more interesting figures of the new Who line, but I'll cut back. I've already been cutting back on my Who spending... I don't think I really have any regrets in buying so far, but right now I have more toys than I can display! |

Any chance we could get a link to somewhere that posts regular advance pics of figures on the first page of this thread? It would make looking for new figures a lot faster than paging through 150 pages, like last time. |

It would make looking for new figures a lot faster than paging through 150 pages, like last time. No problem, I've added links to sites I know of which have lots of images of the new figures. If there is any particular site I've missed feel free to PM me. Chaos, that Sonic Set looks awesome! Definitely gonna get one of those.  And speaking of new stuff, according to WhoNA, they will be having the new variants in stock next month.  |

Just as an FYI for board members across the pond, this is out in the UK and has been seen on eBay and in TRUs! I hope Underground gets it to the US soon!! |

Are we allowed to list figures we want from season 4 or is that a spoiler issue?

Of course, I'm not a mod so whatever Lior says! Another FYI on the Sonic Screwdriver and Pen set, it is now confirmed that both feature LED lights and sounds. I'm really glad about this, because I would've bought it anyway, but it's a big bonus to have an LED Sonic Screwdriver (that's not a miniature) rather then getting stuck with two of the UV ones! I just posted pictures of my new Rose custom in the customs board. And here's a picture of my Doctors and companions with the fantastic Flight-Control Tardis!  |

Are we allowed to list figures we want from season 4 or is that a spoiler issue? Since I was the one who was all whiney about spoilers I will give my take on that. Personally I think it is fine if one were to list figures they would want made from upcoming episodes or episodes that have not aired in the US as long as they didn't give away huge plot spoilers or deaths. For instance *SPOILER* someone over on doctorwhoforum said something about the chances of getting a Ross figure going down because he dies *END SPOILER* That kind of gives something away. Going on and on about wanting a Ross figure before the Sanataran Strategum aired in the US didn't really spoil anything...especially since he only had like 2 lines...if that makes any sense. So I would be fine with reading what people would like from upcoming episode as long as they don't post something huge to go along with it...like the example I listed. Just my take. |

Yes, simple names would be fine then. Season 4 for me: Partners - Miss Foster with Adipose Pompeii - Rock Priestess, seers Ood - Black suit Sigma Ood Sontaran - Martha, Ross Hotbuns, General Staal, Sontarans Docs Daughter - Jenny, Hath |

Season 4 for me: Partners - Miss Foster with Adipose Pompeii - Rock Priestess, seers Ood - Black suit Sigma Ood Sontaran - Martha, Ross Hotbuns, General Staal, Sontarans Docs Daughter - Jenny, Hath I'll go for it too then! Partners in Crime - Miss Foster with sonic pen and Adipose, Donna in suit, Rose Fires of Pompeii - High Priestess (Rock), Sybilline Seer Planet of the Ood - Ood Sigma, Donna in furry coat Sontaran Stratagem - Martha(or Doc's Daughter Martha), General Staal (no helmet), Sontaran (helmet) *POTENTIAL SPOILERS* Doctor's Daughter - Jenny, a Hath, Martha(or Sontaran Martha) Unicorn and the Wasp - Agatha Christie, Priest and Wasp 2-Pack, Donna in Flapper Dress And I realise there's no chance of getting all those Donnas, so I would pick the one in the suit. Some complain that Donna in a suit (ala Partners in Crime or the promo shots) wouldn't be very in character, it really makes the most sense of all her costumes (at least so far) and it would fit in with the tradition of the companions figures being in the costumes they debuted in (and no one try and be smart by saying she debuted in a wedding dress, I know that) in the 1st episode of the series. |
