I missed out on getting the 'September Wave' of figures. But I have to say, apart from the Evil set, I would gladly add these to my collection.

What are your thoughts?

I'm still amazed we are getting new classic Doctor Who figures. I just wish the folks in the UK appreciated their US customers a little more.

Just the Pertwee set for me.

Not impressed by the Davison set. Don't need another "An Unearthly Child" Doctor and TARDIS set, and don't really need the Daleks.

I’m surprised to see these so soon!

I love all the sets, though I’m a little disappointed in the Earthshock set. Maybe they could have done Cyberleader instead of another 5th Doctor figure?
Still a cool set though!

The Pertwee “Five Doctors” set is awesome, with a red jacket and ruffled shirt, sans tie!

I LOVE the dark metallic grey Daleks!

I dig the silver and blue Dalek with pupil.

I was going to pass on the Hartnell/TARDIS set, until I realized that the TARDIS has some newly sculpted elements.

I just wish these were a little easier to get stateside.

I missed the Unearthly Child set before, so I'm very happy to have a shot at it now. Smile

I just read that the Five Doctors set MAY have a 50/50 split of Cyber Leader and Soldier in the packs released. So, if that happens you can get more than one Cyberman.

That was my one complaint! I will totally get multiples of soldier, only one of leader.

Anyone else have a feeling they will eventually do a 6th Doctor Tardis release with the red tie? He's the only classic doc without a Tardis set now, and the Trial red tie is the only remaining variant they have for him.

 That is how I am hoping we get him. Of course you can do a regeneration 7th using that outfit also, although he would be shorter, although I think the figures are about the same height.

PostSubject: Re: October B&M sets - a mixed bag   October B&M sets - a mixed bag EmptyMon Oct 04, 2021 5:58 pm

While lots of members on other forums are unhappy about what we didn't get (Adric, etc) I think these sets are pretty good.  It's a budget line that started off as all straight repaints.  I skipped all those 10th and 11th Doctor repaint sets from a few years ago.  But these days CO is getting very creative in order to give us new characters.  Rather than bemoaning that we didn't get Adric, I'm quite thrilled that I'm going to get the androids from Earthshock.

Sure, I too would have preferred another Cyberman or Adric/Tegan instead of yet another 5th Doctor.  I've got a bin full of duplicate 5th Doctors.  I would also have enjoyed a "generic lady in bodysuit" that could have been the basis for a "female" android and a female Axon.  Just no budget to cover those.  Maybe in the future.  And the Eaglemoss Raston Warrior Robot does look a bit better than the CO version, but once again this one is still pretty good.  It just seems like CO fired up the "Axon Male" body and put it to very efficient use in 2021.

Happy with all these sets.  None are perfect, but there is something in each that will get to to purchase them all.  And isn't that the best way for CO to sell these?  Getting fans to buy them all so the line continues?

Oh, and the other rumor I've heard is complaints about no Dalek Supreme in the Planet of the Daleks Set.  Al Dewar of CO has stated on other forums that this is only Set #1 of Planet and to keep an eye out for Set #2.  So you've got an excellent army builder pair of Daleks coming soon and more than likely another shot at the funky black & gold Supreme Dalek coming next year. I've got my original version of this dude, but I hope this is true for anyone coming to this line later on.

I missed out on the September wave completely. I was in between jobs and couldn't commit money to them. Plus I am told that they are spotty in being found in the UK anyway.

Huh. I didn't realize until now the boots are different on the Cyberman figure, compared to the Earthshock version. (I'm sure I read it before, but only now noticing it when looking at the figures)

Wishing I could get the cloaked Hartnell loose (for a custom project), but glad it's getting rereleased.

What’s different about that Hartnell headsculpt? It feels new, or differently painted…or something.

I thought for a second it might be a David Bradley First, which I would have loved, but no.

Its definitely a lighter skin tone, maybe that's what you're seeing?
The older Hartnell's -- and most all the figures actually -- had warmer skin hues in the past. This is looking more like the ghostly skin tones we first saw in that 13 doctors set.

Yeah, from back in 1987ish.

I've never put a modern figure next to it, to see how off it would look!
