Charity Project

On a Dr Who  forum someone posted about a set of head casts for custom projects, for charity
The charity provides food packages for struggling families.so food banks and the like so for a donation you can purchase some casts of doctor who heads unavailable in the CO toy range in 13 scale 
not a opportunity to be overlooked ,Malcolm aka baby jelly was the sculptor Mark aka peladon the caster 
There was naturally a long list and i waited a few months for mine and because of delay got a bonus surprise added,now there is customer service for you free en gratis to boot
There was a Large Candyman figure for £25 but somehow didnt grip me ,still thinking about it 
But i opted for the Haemovore head  

Candy Man 

REFERENCE

the cast heads

there was few to choose from ,Primored from Inferno and female Haemovore as well as Male 


Still unsure about purchasing candy man  its money i don't have and room that docent exist so will think on
So as due to CO neglecting the 80's ,realy go count how many 80s baddies you have besides Daleks and Cybermen ,and it being my era i really would like to build some stuff from it and if this is only way to go,so be it 

Its a shame as so many great monsters and designs came out of the 80s from the Deamon in Battlefield the Heamavore ,Robot clowns that kill phycotic robot of a bus conductor the Rani and Tetraps , and the Terilitples to name a few 
i doubt we will ever see much 

Heamovore,phil

so in period costume my heamovre,i sculpted hands did the paint, made a mess dirty down  and really cool thing glows in the dark a eerie blue and the eyes to
It is a cheapo vampire boy couple of quid and my new head ,look i went for was just old.centuries old  so skull exploded showing brain all mottled under it ,swollen head puffy face ,yes im sick i know 

so what about my extras?

Zoe head and Auton head ,
Auton Spearhead from Space 1970 and Terror of the Autons 1971 ,the figure available in a ridiculous overpriced box set with stuff i don't want, so this is a bit of a god send ,so the body for the Auton is a lazlo,yes i must be actually the only one person who found a use for this figure got for a pound from forbidden planet 
problem didn't realize is he is short like 5 foot tall short ,my excuse is the factory was running out of plastic ,head and body was a full repaint and sculpted a scarf and the head was painted and done with various shades and glossed over

Zoe 1968/69 the second doctor companion not one i would buy personally ,given to me free, ill model the heck out of it ,
this was a hard one to paint and as black and white stories tad difficult to find color reference and i need a body ,could not find a cat suit so used the "Invasion" Pictures i found and a Star Trek body and sculpted a dress /pinafore and all that was needed like blouse collars etc was sculpted on and  a lot of paint done over a week 
All the usual suspects washes shading i don't want to do half a job 

so there you go my latest creative output and im very pleased with what i have 

New Doctor Who figures

new 3.75 inch range

so there you have it a nice brief blog as taken down on forums and as i posted about the brigadiers Hurndall etc i thought ill post this one 

quickly up and down by Mr Dewer head honcho of CO  on his twitter

so this is the new 3.75 inch figures expected sometime 2013

so that Dalek should be roughly 3 inches tall ,Like Avengers Star Wars etc 

3.75 inch V 5 inch

And with quick snap above will see difference on right current classic figure of Dr7 5 " with old Dapol Ace 3.75" figure

Very out of scale to each other so cant mix the line and for those who have collected everything by CO this is a bummer and i do feel for them and thousands and hours spent 

I am lucky i do not collect new series Bar the Doctor companion TARDIS Cybes Daleks ya know classic stuff 

But when Doc regenerates i wont be able to slap Dr 12 with my line as is 

nor can i get new companion same reason 

this is a bummer 

I may indulge tho as i have Dapol figures and can go on there do look forward to mini new box to go with Dapol classic

As so rumors say in new year new Console room new Cybermen costumes so all new i don't see the Police Box changing theres 8 floating around now of the props and merchandise the image etc that sadly is stuck as is ,new companion new costume for Matt all equals new molds

Will it be the saving grace of a dieing line ? ,No .why ?,figure choices suck they have made really bad choices what to make since Matt first appeared and given before that the hiatus year of specials and nothing to do there for  the company for good few years

yes BBC has not helped here but smilers gay vampire by ???Uncle ?? bad idea anyone but CO can see it where is Headless monks or Vampire woman ? and this season just gone pathetic long leaving story for ponds nothing not one thing to do to make 
It needs to be fun capture imagination be flexible in its playability what you can do and size well big toy in small child hand brilliant 


so lets see in a couple years what idea number 2 is ,

Classic funded by Underground toys company for Forbidden Planet thats going strong and as molds exist for everything just about ,staying in five inch scale ,that changes and i will quit ,
Now there is very poor choices and blatant ripp off going on here in this line but as a cherry picker im doing ok so far and just accept some are to rich for my pocket and simply not worth vast sum slapped on it ,tho this trend seems to be changing with twenty pound sets taking to the forefront 

But will always be about the 70 to 80 which is sad they may dip occasionally into 60s or 80s rarely which is a shame as i would love more of my era and last known era (80s)  but as we are subject to whims of fan boys making the choices what can you do ?

Tom Baker the Fourth Doctor

Finally found a few moments to finish a job started a long time ago 
CO Classic figures love em got the main releases not a lot of specials bit rich for my pocket 
BUT yes 80s child but do love tom who dosent ?,plus most of my videos feature Tom and he was heavily featured in the Magazines my comics etc

So i have the season 12 the pyramids of Mars and seeds of Doom  figures,
Now just happen to be a bloke splitting up set of City of Death( Paris story ),

now had the other season 17 one from Destiny of the Daleks alas round the neck scarf when should of been a loop (a woops from CO), so made my own scarf, now the Destiny figure had the boots city shoes and the lapel badge and BIG scarf ,NOT the season 18 repainted as i thought new one 

EDIT
 the look that inspired me 
thanks the purple one 

 wow,thanks mate,this was sellotaped to my wardrobe
from my  childhood and looking at this i remember i had the view master to   happy memories

so swap time kit bashing fun one i knocked up 

on new City of Death S 17 figure my made scarf thats it season 17 done,
Now take the Destiny of the Daleks season 17  figure,add the big scarf from city figure paint coat Chocolate Brown and gave him the hat smiling head from the Pyramids of Mars Figure (Made my own custom hat wearing head for that )   and voila becomes key to time /shada fourth doctor 

Now as i do not want repetition even if same Doctor so each Tom is different 

• starting with regen a kit bash should be in nightgown and jacket but he is in 3rd drs outfit Planet of Spiders/Robot

• Season 12 smiling no hat like in promo pics, sonic and lump of gold Revenge of the Cybermen 
• Season 13/14 /15 Burgundy none smiling hat wearing (he wasn't smiling or joking or had lot to laugh about in that story ) P.O.M sonic and time control from TARDIS
