They always single card the companions so I would have thought that they would be putting a Donna on one too.Perhaps the one planned to be carded is from the Sontaran episodes so CO thought that they would be nice and put in another new Donna for the boxset.I hope so anyway! Donna is a very good figure so I can't wait to get her.I hate Skorr ( for pretty obvious reasons ) so I don't really like that one too much. Staal is great ( even though he does look like a talking baked potato.Mind you , if they made a Ross figure then he would look like a pink weasal). Yeah, I would have rather had Donna, Stahl, a Sontaran Soldier, and either the Doctor or a UNIT Soldier like Ross. The Sontaran Soldier could have been Skorr with a removable halmet so you could display him either way instead of giving us 3 Sontarans. Oh, and rossjekins17...you go ahead and mention your desire for a Ross figure all you want over hear. I'm pretty sure Ultra Prime doesn't police this thread

Yeah this is a safe place lol. I find OG rather odd at the best of times.
I can't wait for the sontaran figures, but I do think it would be good to have a UNIT set, with a new doctor as a flipside to the sontaran set. Would be good for army building. Also hope all the sontarans have helmets and we don't get a repeat of the Judoon business from last year, as we did see them remove helmets this time!

From OG - The two "leader" Sontarans (Staal and Skorr?) will have removeable helmets, but the third "generic" Sontaran will not.
Cheers.

Thanks for letting me talk about him here.I can't see how they can judge Christian's acting on a minor role though. He was good as Ross and showed good acting in the role but you can hardly judge someone's acting on one role as there may be a number of reasons as to why you thought that the character was rubbish.I have seen him in other things where he has a bigger role and he is generally good in them.He has the odd dodgy moment every now and then but what actor doesn't.
Besides Ross, I would like to see all of the main UNIT characters get a figure.But I particularly want Ross and Marion Price ( I really hope that she returns!).I am dreading UNIT's return a litttle though just in case they try and replace Ross.

I'd love to see Ross & a few other UNIT folk. But ofcourse, an attractive male is as hard to capture as an attractive female...I doubt his figure would be that pretty. Plus the people who paint the lips on the Who figures are a bit crummy. People like Rose & Jack should have nice full lips, as should Ross Jenkins. I found a pic of Jenkins in his boxers once...but I can't find it anymore. Here's some Ross love for you rossjenkins17: ;D

The ones in his boxers are from The Chase.I have it on DVD ( I'm very sad and own everything that he has been on that you can get on DVD).I am really looking forward to The Last Van Helsing.I am hoping that it is a massive succcess and gets a toyline.A christian figure would have to be made then.
Christian looks really bad drunk though.Found some pictures of him like that and he wasn't looking his best.The sweat patches didn't help either.I guess we all have rough days though.
I agree with you that people who aren't ugly are hard to capture as figures.I can hope that they would do Christian proud though.However , a Miss Evangelista would be impossible for them to do.She has had the best lips on the programme by a mile.

Got my Combat Martha, Jack and blue scarecrow from character online today, will post picks when I can. That's great! Congrats! I really want that Jack figure for my Series 3 display. I hope it doesn't take too long for them to hit America. On Doctorwhotoys they have them listed as coming here this month, but as I'm only now starting to see the April assortment in stores I'm afraid it will be late this summer before I get him.

Those look amazing TYG! Way to rub it in. I can't wait until these are easily accessible in America. I'm dying for Jack, Martha, and I want the new Master and Slitheen too.

Thanks for the pics.
The new Jack looks good. A nice "generic" Jack instead of that rather odd "Army" Jack. It's a shame Jack's holster isn't sculpted to allow his gun to be stored. My Jundoon's holster works perfectly and I was very pleased with how well it "held" the gun.
Martha also looks good, although I'll be sticking with my "generic" Martha. Then again, the new Martha also resembles "Unit Soldier" Martha which is cool.
I have to admit, I'm not someone that is keen on a Ross figure. Or even a UNIT soldier figure. BUT if CO were to make a UNIT soldier, I don't see why it couldn't be based off Ross since he was the Doctor's "sidekick" in the episode (as long as the licensing issues for the actor's likeness aren't too complicated/expensive).
Cheers.

Great pictures there Paul, thanks heaps. I quite like the look of them all. Jack is ok...I don't love him, but he's nice. I don't see why it couldn't be based off Ross since he was the Doctor's "sidekick" in the episode (as long as the licensing issues for the actor's likeness aren't too complicated/expensive). I doubt it would be too difficult for a young fellow like Cooke. I wouldn't be too disappointed if we didn't see UNIT people, I'm just trying to make my 'want' list more reasonable nowadays. Since the actual figures I yearn for are those we apparently have no chance at seeing (Pompadour/Sparrow/Jenny/Jackie).

I still think we won't see a Ross figure for the simple reason he is going to be on t'other channel. However, there's no reason why Character can't acquire the license for Last Van Helsing like they did for Primeval, so whilst we won't see a Ross we might see Cooke in some other form, and probably in regular clothing that will match well with the Who figures if Character make them.
Thanks for the feedback on the pictures, whilst I like Jack (apart from his eyes, I find them quite cold and lacking Barrowmans warmth) i'm not so keen on Martha. Whilst she has nice detail, she just looks a bit odd, especially the paint on the hairline which it was hard to take a picture of. However I think she actually would look better with some UNIT soldiers around her.

Yeah, the new Miss Martha is my least favourite. I think the face sculpt, where she looks like she can smell a poo in the vicinity, really doesn't help what is basically a utility outfit. I mean it's not even a 'cool' black outfit.
To paraphrase larry, I gotta get me some of that Jack action - let me tell thee!!! I am wondering if the new coatless CO Jack will be shleved to make room for the Scifi version.

However,it would be interesting if they made both a Luke and a Ross figure at the same time the programme was on. It would be funny if some kids bought a Ross beacuse they thought it was Luke Van Helsing in an army costume.

VERY JEALOUS!
I'm still patiently waiting for the VOTD set and any of the Sarah Jane figures to be released down under.
Cheers.

The VOTD set is brilliant.I particularly like Astrid because she has quite a good likness and she is my favourite new series companion.She is actually my second favourite character overall.I think that they should repaint her to make her look like the ghostly Astrid and put in one of those tweaked waves.It would be more sellable than destroyed Cassandra at least.

I got some new figures today. My in-laws gave me $50 for Father's Day and told me that I had to buy something that I wanted and I absolutly could not spend it on Gas or Bills! I happened to be down in Portland for a meeting today so I stopped by the Cosmic Monkey and picked up Dr. Constantine, Possessed Toby, and an Ood to add to my collection. I also have Jack/the Empty Child, Prof. Yana, Screaming Angel, and the Doctor in Suit w/glasses coming from Doctor Who Merch. Does anyone know how quickly they ship out? I ordered them last Monday the 9th and I have not got a shipping confirmation and their web site still shows them as Processing... I'm getting a little impatient as I was hoping they would have shipped out last Tuesday or Wednesday and be arriving some time this week. Here is a picture of my little collection. I'll post a new one if my order is ever sent.
