They need to scale it down for sure The sonic screwdriver is supposed to be something that the Doctor can casually fit in his pocket yet they made Smith's this elaborate huge thing.

I'd rather it be written out again for a while, but no chance of that I guess.

It's become too iconic a device since the Eccleston era. I doubt it goes anywhere anytime soon. I like the sonic but I detest the giant thing 11 carried around.

When it can be eaten by a shark and come back, we have no chance of getting rid of it. I'd like to see it toned down, though.

I have no problem with the device itself but its the answer to EVERYTHING now. It was written out of the show originally for becoming too much a crutch but the new series takes that to the extreme.

I guess it becoming a magic wand fits with Moffat's weird attempts to make Doctor Who more fantasy than sci-fi. I'm not saying that as a compliment, either.

Eh, it was a problem with Tennant's era just as much as it was Smith's.

Eh I have to agree with this. It's not just a Moffat problem.

During Tennant's era, any problem that the writers wanted to solve without a screwdriver, you knew that the word "deadlocked" was not far behind. It kind of highlights how the writers use the screwdriver for almost everything else.

Man I hate this new scale.

(He says knowing full well he'll buy both Daleks and a Zygon)

Do they make figures and promotional material knowing they'll have to change the costume when the real one is revealed? If so that seems like a hell of a lot of work.

Otherwise, that's what we're getting for the next season. Yeah. I was hoping we could get away from the waistcoat, long jacket, shirt and trousers routine... hey at least they could have thrown in an old man sweater.

It's a regeneration figure in 11's clothes. It'll probably be out before the new series hits and then they'll release 12 in his own costume.

So my brother (who didn't like Doctor who before) is now watching it and likes it. I'm so proud of him :cry

Regen. figure.....

Well, I guess someone needs to milk Doctor Who for all it's worth.

Its not really out of the ordinary. There was a Smith one in Tennant's clothes when End of Time came out as well.

EDIT: More!

It's embarrassing that these are better than the regular figs.

Sorry for being stupid, but who's that character behind Clara?

Captain Jack

I thought that might be him, but everyone else is a Smith-era character.

Yeah, it does seem a little odd throwing him in this wave. Not that I'm complaining as he's long overdue a minifig.

OMG that little tiny Peter Capaldi xD Yes, just yes

Still need more 6" figures. The classic Zygon 6" is just too goofy to cut it :(

Found some more stuff from Toyfair. Looks like the classics might be switching to 3.75" with this so called "heritage" line :( That Asylum Dalek is mighty pretty though, even if its from my least favourite Dalek story ever.

I REALLY hope Underground still have something planned for the 5" line :/

Ahem.

Yeah, I'm glad that's only a fan thing. Not enough vortex footage and a bit too needlessly complex for my tastes. Amazing effort from the maker though.

That episode title was beautiful though :lol

In other news, Titan Comics now have the Doctor Who license.

Was there ever a question it wouldn't go to Titan? :lol

Of all the UK publishers they seem to be the best with sci-fi licenses. Glad it was finally yanked from IDW though. Dear god the artwork on those books has been terrible.

Oh and the Dalek Attack Ship is a must!

Let's see. What do I need?
John Hurt
Capaldi
Capt. Jack
That TARDIS.

Oh no. No.

Yeah, I may need multiples :o

I was hoping the trailer was real. I love the flyby of Galifrey, and 12's face coming through the cosmos like the old days.

They only just began filming/pre-production so it'll be months before a trailer materializes.

If we're talking fan-intros, I personally prefer this one, which I probably posted here before:

Let me live in my delusion! I;m happy there!

Pimped my new macbook out last night and got far too giddy over it :lol

That is beautiful. Probably the best sticker I've seen yet.

Costume pic was just released. I sort of get a first three Doctors mash-up vibe from it. The extra shiny shoes stand out a bit though, don't they? I must say that it looks very natural on Capaldi. I can't wait to see how he gets it.

so cool looking. can't wait to see how his doctor develops. now I just want to know about his sonic.

I think he looks awkward as hell :lol

But it's a nice look none the less.

... Dear God that's badass

More like a straight up Doctor #3 to me.

And I for one am very pleased by that!

Yup. Absolutely no complaints from me there :D

Love love love it!

Yeah, it's very much a less ostentatious Pertwee style.

The outfits great, but he looks like he has standard pose figurearts hands XD.

I was thinking more modern...
