Big Chief products

Unless the Christopher Eccleston is spectacular, I think I'm done with Big Chief Studios. The prices are way to high for what you get, and their customer service is atrocious.

It was better when it wasn't required to purshase directly from their site.

I agree...

Way too expensive!

Well, as has been said the Weeping Angel is being distributed through Diamond, so hopefully WhoNA will get those. Hoping the First Doctor might be the same.

I bought a custom made scarf to go along with my Big Chief Fourth Doctor...I think it's a vast improvement to the one that came with the figure   

BCS previewed the 12th Doctor head sculpt, apparently for an upcoming 12th Doctor figure!!!

 

DesignWorks is sculpting this one, too, btw.

Nice scarf! Do they make longer ones (like for the later seasons)?

I wonder, might WhoNA carry these?

I actually bought this on Ebay! It's too bad the actual one that came with the figure wasn't like that, but we live an imperfect universe

It's been since December, but I finally got my replacement 4th Doctor coat!!! Now, if they'd just refund the return shipping, like they said...

I found these while I was surfing the net today - very cool custom job indeed!

has baker's eyes- and nose- but the mouth and chin is not right

I think there was an issue with molding because the face looks a little too thin.  The prototype didn't have that problem.

Here's a picture of the prototype on the left, with my figure on the right for comparison.

I think it's an optical illusion caused (in some part perhaps) by the 5 O'Clock shadow.  I thought the same thing until I repainted his face to get rid of it his face looks fuller (and healthier!)

I'm not that great of a painter, but it was a risk I'm glad I took. That stubble made him look like a hobo.   Ol' Doc... Ridin' the Rails o' Time!

D'oh! Now I wish I'd made a bindle on a stick and taken a picture of him with it before repainting!

Up for pre order now. 1st Doctor

Don't think the likeness is that good.

Not from that angle, no, I don't either.

It's not available yet. It goes up on Tuesday, July 8 for the general public. It goes up on Monday for those who signed up for priority pre-order.

Here's a better look at his face. I think he looks great.

I think its not quite right. CO's An Unearthly Child looks more like him. Compare BC figure with the actor then the CO figure.

I have to agree with Jonwes, I think he looks great!

Can't wait to order this guy! Full pics and accessories revealed:

I have merged the two topics.

  

It looks like we are being treated to a new version of the 11th Doctor...definitely like the outfit.

Big Chief is doing a nice job with the accessories...the Cyber Head looks great!
