In fairness though, Cybermen aren't exactly that articulated in real life. But I see your point. There's what we need, Zeo. SH Figuarts Cybermen.

True, but lifting arms higher than shoulder level would be nice :p

And I'd kill for Figuart level articulation Doctor Who figures. That would be a dream come true.

So much. Cybermen, Sontarans!

Oh gosh darn it. Damned Haemovores and their rassa-frassa...

It might not be official, but if the actual anniversary is 1/10 as awesome as this, I will be pleased. And possibly dead by overexposure to awesome

12th Doctor Revealed on Sunday

Normally Doctor Who TV is wary of writing up”big announcements”, especially when there has been a string of rumours lately that have amounted to nothing. However, it’s finally happening!

Press sources have leaked that the BBC will finally announce the 12th Doctor this weekend.
...
A special programme on will air this Sunday 4 August at 7pm on BBC1 entitled Doctor Who Live: The Next Doctor. A deliberate disposable repeat of Celebrity Mastermind is currently listed in the timeslot.

The show is going to be filmed in front of a live studio audience with Zoe Ball unveiling the next Doctor. The show will also feature interviews with past Doctors and companions.

Interestingly, this week saw Peter Capaldi inexplicably leap to the top of the bookies lists. Is this because he’s won the role? We’ll find out soon enough.

The BBC are expected to officially confirm the programme at midnight.

Sunday Baby Yea!

I just saw that too. Seems quite likely we'll get an announcement soon.

So I looked up Peter Capaldi on Google, I know faces not names. And honestly? I cannot hate this if he ends up being our Doctor. He was amazing in Torchwood: Children of Earth and The Fires of Pompeii Doctor Who episode. I loved him on The Thick of It. I can't hate this.

Peter Capaldi seems just a little bit older than I'd like for the character. I definitely don't want someone as young as Matt Smith again but he just seems a bit more weathered.

Given when we think happens during the 50th with Hurt's Doctor, I think it makes sense for him to be a bit war-weary. But this is Moffat we're talking about. He could've thrown Peter's name out there purely as a Red Herring.
