| It strikes me as odd that the sign box above the doors isn't textured like the rest of the Police Box. |

| Looks cool. Too bad it'll probably be hard to find stateside, and/or expensive.
Re the flight control Tardis/13 set: That Tardis looks nice! They even changed the light on top, which is more than I thought they'd do. It would have been nice if they'd at least make 13's shirt a different color (burgundy/red) if I have to get a second figure of her, but at least they added the bumbag/fannypack. That was a nice touch! |

| I tried to order the 3rd Doctor TARDIS but went 0 for 3 with international shippers. I finally got me at last a 13th Doctor 5-5 figure though. Yeah they are trying to do any releases as cheaply as possible these days. There not trying to increase the range at all they simply are reusing any old part they have on the shelf |

| New figure sets have all been revealed- use the following link to CO YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShHZtC_9au0
I don't want to say what they are incase you want to watch the "unboxing" yourself but there's a few cool ones in there!
I'll be happy to take orders from US/Canada once release dates and weights are confirmed. Some of the previous sets may still be available at reduced prices too. |

| Sadly these all look like repaints bar the Harry Sullivan one and even the clothing he is wearing is familiar from some release. It looks like Toms clothing repainted.
The Peter Davison figure is a repaint with a new head. I have one with Colin Baker in Peter's cloths with the same dirty jacket on my shelf from al those years ago. In fact it still on the card I never opened it.
The Sontaran's are exactly the same as the ones I have open on my shelf. Peri is just another repaint as I have two just like open on my shelf Same with the Second Doctor, exact same figure as we already have just different color pants and boots. The Tom Baker repaint at least is different to the 7 o8 4th Doctor figures I have open on my shelf.
As for the TARDIS isn't the 5th Doctors TARDIS the same as the 7th Doctors TARDIS bar the mud from Androzani on it?
Still at least they are trying.
I had not herd of a Harry Sullivan figure in the past, I know there were several figures that never made it past the proto type stage though |

| And the one with Harry Sullivan I was referring to is a 10th Doctor Army of Ghosts figure. |

| Well, I don't need them all. But I do like that Harry Sullivan figure as well as finally getting the last original Sontaran, Stike. Others complained about the old Sontaran sets coming with the "giant balls", but I rather like those sets and wouldn't mind augmenting the clone crowd with a couple more figures.
Yes, there are a lot of other repaints. I've got a whole shelf devoted to the crazy re-paint/regen Doctors who don't make it to the main 15 Doctors shelf (War Doc and Curator round that out). There is also a pile of extra Nu-Who Daleks that these new ones will end up on.
But hopefully WhoNA can get these. All the 3-packs have a certain appeal this time. |

| Is the War Doctor just the same figure without the neck scarf?
Also, can someone explain Sylvester's pants?!? I don't remember them looking like that in the TV Movie. I'll have to check! |

| Never mind, I found a photo that confirms it! It's just a shame --- again -- that we don't get a 7th Doctor figure with a neutral facial expression + hat. |

| As much as I love collecting TARDIS's to me that Shada one just looks a little bit odd with the colored windows. Although I do give them high marks for putting the panda light on top. I definitely want to get two of those 4th Doc figures if only to have the scarf to put on my City of Death version. I would get the Two Doctors set in a heartbeat, but since I have the older release Sontarans I would sell those off and keep Harry, even though he and Genesis Tom will look a lot alike since he is wearing his outfit. I do give them high marks for being creative in reusing the figure parts to give the line a bit of a lift after all this time, even if these are UK exclusives. |

| They should put the hat on McCoys head for the 7th Doctor figure to make it look more realistic to the move and cover the hair line

| So am I correct in assuming these sets will not be distributed in the US either by over- or under-the-counter means?
That is to say, is WhoNA considering buying a few cases and selling them on the site? Or is it us vs. Ebay? |

I just picked up the 4th Doc,Brig,Auton set off Amazon last month for $25 with free shipping so hopefully these will pop up too. |

That is to say, is WhoNA considering buying a few cases and selling them on the site? Or is it us vs. Ebay? It depends. WhoNA was able to get the 13th Doctor single carded figure and the 4th Regen+TARDIS set as imports. They still have 10 of the 4th Doctor + TARDIS so I'm not sure. I don't think I ever saw the Pertwee+TARDIS set or the funky Tom Talons figure 3-pack listed here. I'll give WhoNA a while to see if they can barter for a case of any of these. If they can then I'll pick up a set of each. |
