I admire you for painting the gold knobs on the casings of some of them - very fine work.<br />They would be a good match for the commandos I painted last month, though they would all die if the Doctor isn't there to help.<br />Wishing you and yours a very happy new year.Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8316437260668122878.post-35673335739156429582014-12-31T07:07:08.929+00:002014-12-31T07:07:08.929+00:00They turned out nice Edwin.They turned out nice Edwin.The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8316437260668122878.post-62212152391614331862014-12-28T16:31:29.079+00:002014-12-28T16:31:29.079+00:00The only ones with this problem are the Daleks.

The BTD Doctor Who range was originally made by Harlequin some time ago (it stops with Sylvester McCoy).<br /><br />The BTD Doctors and companions vary in quality of sculpting. You can find some "similar" miniatures for the newer series and some older ones from Heresy and Crooked Dice that are made to modern standards.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06974800255314482764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8316437260668122878.post-58818278544959368772014-12-28T09:48:53.230+00:002014-12-28T09:48:53.230+00:00You are a brave man Edwin!

This is actually a licensed range (unlike the many NOT-figures you see), which I imagine has some repercussions. My suspicion is that the Dalek molds are too old, but they're restricted from making new ones.<br /><br />If anyone knows the truth, it would be interesting to read. I understand BTD have new management.<br /><br />Looking at the pics of the characters (ie, those which are supposed to resemble actual actors), I wouldn't chose to buy them. I did have a punt on an ice warrior, which is a nice clean figure, and I intend to get some more.Diplomatisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04154642903216207181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8316437260668122878.post-44960959965370880052014-12-27T18:18:52.865+00:002014-12-27T18:18:52.865+00:00Love em...
