2023 B&M / CHARACTER OPTIONS RUMORS

Just read today some rumors for 2023 that sounded interesting.  Has anybody heard anything?

What I’ve heard:
2-pack “The Five Doctors”
2-pack “Revelation of the Daleks”
2-pack “Remembrance Of The Daleks”
2-pack “New Series Dalek Set 1”
3-pack “The Deadly Assassin”
Sixth Doctor / TARDIS set.
September/October 2023.

Odd Things about this list:
1. The term “History of the Daleks” isn’t used to describe the dalek sets.
2. The list seems to skip “Resurrection Of The Daleks”.
3. Supposedly it’s been previously said that CO would never re-release the Sixth Doctor due to the costly paint application…  Was that nonsense? Or have they got something up their sleeve?  Maybe a “waistcoat” version of Sixie from “The Two Doctors” or “Vengeance On Varos”?
4. What might the “Five Doctors” 2-pack include?  A Hurndall Doctor and “Death Zone” Dalek with red dome lights?  A Fifth Doctor and Ainley Master with tailcoat and cape?  Second Doctor and Yeti?  Companions?  
5. What characters will be in the Deadly Assassin set?  Crispy Master? Classic Time Lords (Gold Usher?  A heliotrope Patrexy? A Prydonian?  Lord President? Chancellor Gogh? Cardinal Boris’s? Doctor in TimeLord robes?) I’d be thrilled to get some classic Time Lords!

6th Dr & TARDIS said, "Ultimate Adventure," so it's the stageplay. I have two customs of Colin in his purple coat, but the TARDIS is involved!

Did you mean Borusa?

Indeed, I meant Borusa” - Sorry, “AutoCorrect” strikes again!
An “Ultimate Adventure” Sixth Doctor set would be interesting! I’ll have to look up some photos of the stage costume and Tardis!

Any word on the new sets yet?

Wow that’s what I call service!!!

so...the three sets are...

6th Doctor and TARDIS from The Ultimate Adventure


Revelation of the Daleks  History of the Daleks set


and a History of the Daleks set with the 1st Doctor (Richard Hurndall) and Dalek from The Five Doctors

Just the Hurndall set for me. Hope the other rumored sets are still a go for December.

I love the look of all these sets! If you haven’t seen Al Dewar’s video on YouTube, it’s worth checking out. The new tweaks to the Dalek modeling sounds interesting!

I wonder if they will actually make new “skirt” pieces once they get around to “Remembrance”…

I definitely want the 6th Doctor and Hurndall figures! I'm not a big Dalek collector so I can pass on those, but they look nice too.

You're right. It was a good video.

Let's hope WhoNA can secure a few sets of each. I think I'd be down for all three this time.

I hope we can get these from WhoNA!!!! I have waited a long time for Hurndall since seeing him on a leaked figures page years ago! He was the first actor I saw portray The First Doctor when I watched The Five Doctors and his version has a special place in my hearts! Colin Baker has been so nice each time Ive seen him at cons , I love this new version of his stage costume and the battered TARDIS! Me likey!!!!

Really looking forward to all three sets! I think they all look great.

What is the ship that's sitting on Al Dewar’s desk?

That is the Imperial Dalek Assault Shuttle from Remembrance of the Daleks.

There is no word if that is just a mock-up someone did for him or if there is a possibility of it being a CO Exclusive release.

Hi Keith & Jany, What are the chances you'll be getting these new items?

Thanks,
Larry

The three sets are in stock.

The Sixth Doctor and TARDIS (Special Edition)

History of the Daleks #13: The Five Doctors

History of the Daleks #14: Revelation of the Daleks

Has there been no indication of any 60th anniversary sets? Even if they don't want spoilers or tooling costs for new characters, It seems like a Donna & new DT Doctor would be easy to produce.

It would be nice if they could do a first doctor with Ian Barbara and Susan
