Woah! Just seen the final prototype of the 11th Doctor - WANT! I hope this company continues this line long enough for a really really good 8th doctor to finally be made. I think my plans for a 1/3 scale doll need to be put on hold, I don't think it's going to be cheap!

Can't find the picture anywhere public so no link to it specifically but here are various in progress shots:

Edit: Sorry found them!

Nice, it beats having to use Deadwoon for #11.

As for a decent #8 look for the Barack Sergeant RMP or Dragon's Roger the Royal Marine. The BS guy is more Paul loooking but both will work.

Thanks! That's a surprisingly good likeness! (Though cos it's so realistic it's putting me in mind of Mark rather than Paul)

Big Chief has been teasing us with this over at Sideshow Freaks. Every new sneak they show makes my bank account whimper a little louder....

*Updated my McGanns to better likenesses http://dolfielittles.typepad.com/blog/2 ... thers.html Keeping the BS #8 as a separate Doctor entity.

Hopefully this fellow won't break the bank as I don't have a Big Chief yet...

Thanks for that link - it's rather more up to date than GB :D

I know! If only I could find one of those super-rare CB figures... I'd sell it and use the funds to immediately buy this. As it stands I'll just have to hope I've managed to save enough when it's released.

Aaaaand the reveal was today (at the Eleventh Hour GMT, heh heh)

Oh my, it's beautiful, and comes with a raft of accessories plus a stand with a control room floor panel as the base.

£149, or $200 here across the pond according to the Big Chief representative. It's worth every bit that, with all the accessories, and the outfit being hand tailored- but that's going to take some serious budgetary planning.

Alrighty, I signed the dolls up for notification for the pre order, they have to admit they want the sonic screwdriver. Don't need a signed one as I intend to play with mine. My little cousin Robbie looks enough like 11 to cosplay.

woo! The accessories are ridiculous! Signed up for both, odds are the signed will have sold out by the time I get to it, but never know...

Either way still waiting desperately for McGann to be made...

Oh man, I hope they make it through all the Doctors, I would love to have the original seven. Ooh, and maybe a K-9 :)
