Seven20's new figures?

Seven20's Doctor is pretty awful. I was thinking they'd be comparable (if not the same). Should have ordered direct from Character.

After some online searching, the two contenders.  It looks like CO and seven20 won't be sharing the sculpting and production costs on a shared figure.

That is "F"ing hideous! It reminds me of those cheap PVC star trek figures applause used to put out in the mid '90's.

OhBrillan!!!

She’s a perfect reflection of the current series. All hype no substance.

Fair, though having both in hand the Seven20 feels more substantial and feels more like a prop. The CO one felt rushed out and feels less detailed and kinda light.

I have my 13 pre-ordered from CO. That seven20 figure is....whack. Any more photos?

Seven 20s & Characters 5" 13th Doctor. Pleased to say the UK gets the better version!
Seven 20 then Characters.

After seeing the pictures of both figures, I certainly won't be buying Seven20's version, it's just...bad!

Unless of course, my Constantine figure gets the urge to banish something...  

There is a certain... Tilda Swinton vibe to the Seven20 one, eh?

That's what it was..they got their Doctors mixed up..Doctor Strange, Doctor Who It's all the same..

UT looks better than 7-20 but the quality gap doesn't appear that huge based on the only washed out photo available.

Maybe Seven20 was really hoping that rumor about Chibnall offering Swinton the role was true.

The seven20 one looks as though the long coat is attached to the torso, like it's one piece of plastic. Whereas the CO one the coat is a separate piece like it's mostly always been for their figures.

Maybe the USA version from seven20 will look better once in-hand?  Not sure if Americans (or Canadians) will have many choices.  Normally there would be an embargo preventing wide-scale overseas shipping directly from Amazon/CO/etc. I don't know if the coat really is sculpted to the torso or if it's just a funny photoshop job.

And I'm not holding my breath for the whole companion retinue getting action figures.  If we never got new Cybermen or Zygons or even a 1st Doc with a new head sculpt then I'm guessing three new companion figures won't happen.

It's the bane of CO: two women and an old man!

And yet we got "Uncle" and "Peter the Winder"? Prof. Bracewell both with a glove and without action !! And to top it off the double-trouble Faceless Granny and Gelth Granny combos!!!

Boy, 2010 was a different time.

I just ordered 13 from CO. I hope they are following it up with her Police Box.

And ASAP!

Going by past experience, what's your expectation of how long the *current retailer* exclusive window will be?

(This is assuming S20 is following the UT gameplan of always hooking a domestic retailer, of course)

Okay, March release for the Seven20 version. We will probably get SOME, but not too many. We don't think demand will match that of the CO import (and we have more of those on order).

We know the situation is sketchy right now with CO toys. We are doing our best on our end, but we don't want anyone to miss out on anything forever because we fail to make a connection.

Thank you WHONA for all you do!

We appreciate the efforts you do for us, and the care you give us not just as customers, but also as collectors and fellow fans.

/\ This, very much.

The Seven20 figure is due in sometime within the next 4 weeks.

Yes, we will have some.

Any news on the Seven20 figure? It seems to have dropped off the radar. The company's lack of effort for the US market doesn't bode well for future releases....sigh.

Yeah...kinda strange; don't know what happened.

Just received my shipping notification for this figure. I'm hoping the figure will be useful as a regenerated version of Susan or Romana in my collection.
