Just thought I'd post this for anyone who might buy the toys. Bought a Power of the Daleks variant with mutant scoop yesterday (which is pretty rare as it's the first time I've seen it). Opened it up to find this on the side hidden by the card.

So yeah, I'm a little bit annoyed to say the least. Don't have the receipt to return it, nor do I want to even if I could because my only other option is jacked up eBay prices. I've been back and forth with Character Option's customer service today, whose response has basically been "We can't help you. The figure is discontinued and we don't have the parts. Just return it."

Not sure how that works since ALL classic Daleks are made of the same parts, but okay. The fact a bunch of new figures have just been teased on Twitter (including a 1963 Dalek that has the SAME damn colour scheme) has soured my mood even more. If I wasn't down the rabbit hole so far/loved this franchise so much it'd almost be enough to make me want to stop buying these things.

(There is a Night of the Doctor 8th among the teased figures too though which is pretty sweet....just a shame its 3.75" and not 5" :( )

How in the name of Moffatt does that happen?
I feel bad for you Zoe :(

Rewatching Rose because I'm bored and, man, that CGI garbage can bit is awful. :lol

All of the CGI in Series 1 looks a bit dated now... Especially the Reapers :p

Yeah, but that bit really stands out to me for some reason.

I found a thing... Thought you guys might like it!

Nice find! I do love me some Who and we get some nice bits of it in there.

I liked that a lot. I really need to go back to my rewatch and pick up from where I left off in season 3 :lol

On a vaguely related note, I decided to give Jubilee a re-listen earlier in the week since the first time I listened to it I couldn't quite wrap my head around it. For those who don't know, it's the Big Finish audio adventure that Dalek from season one is derived from. But while you can see full-well how Jubilee eventually became Dalek, the two are very very different things.

Jubilee is undoubtedly one of the most uncomfortable Doctor Who adventures I've seen/watched/read/whatever. It isn't particularly scary, but the way it plays upon the real-world capitalisation of the Daleks and makes you actually feel that the Dalek is one of the only sympathetic characters in the entire thing is very unsettling.

It isn't my all-time favourite Dalek audio by any means (the list is LONG :lol), but if people were looking to get into Big Finish or wanted a "must have" title to check out, I would definitely consider it to be one of them.

I think I've heard of this one. It did seem very good, but I got The Kingmaker instead :D

As I'm making my way back through post-2005 Who, I am reminded how sad I am that we never got a scene between Eleven and Wilf. Matt got very good at being an old man in a young man's body and I think those two would have been brilliant. Of course, Bernard Cribbins is all kinds of amazing so having him back in any capacity would have been great.

Who was Wilf?

Donna's grandfather.

Oh, right. Didn't know he had a name.

He was the companion for a whole episode... It'd be strange if he didn't have a name

The more I rewatch, the more I think Wilf may be my one of my favorite characters in the show's entire run.

Wilf was great. So human, and just what 10 needed after freaking out and going bat**** crazy

Well, helloooooooo Big Finish news! Torchwood. Here's hoping I get more Gwen, Ianto, and Tosh in addition to Jack. (OK, and Owen, too.) :D

http://www.bigfinish.com/news/v/torchwood

I trust Big Finish to handle this well, so this could be great!
But I wonder how they'll deal with Miracle Day (If at all)

I'm hoping it will be pre-Miracle Day stuff. I really loathed Miracle Day. To be fair, though, I'm am not at all a fan of anything Jane Espenson has worked on.

.... Ianto, Gwen, and Owen are dead though.

To be fair, all of the past Doctors have regenerated, too. There is nothing stopping them from setting it during series one or early series two of Torchwood. Also, Tosh is dead, Gwen is not, as I recall.

Not Gwen, Tosh yea. I got confused.

I guess it'll be pre-Children of Earth for most of the stuff, but I can see one maybe being set during Jack's time walking the Earth.

Season 9 spoilers:

Osgood is back. *Sarcastic yay*

http://doctorwhoworldwide.com/2015/0...-for-series-9/

Ahem. FUCK YES SHE'S BACK! You can't kill mah Waifu! She's back, and she's going to be a companion after Clara, or I will riot up in this like you cannot begin to believe! .... Yay!

Oh man, Sentai is going to...

That, yeah. :lol

Not sure how I feel about this. That was a character that worked once or twice, but I can easily see myself growing very tired of them following repeat exposure. Really will depend on the execution. Hopefully they'll give this episode to a good writer and not, say, the guy behind the moon egg episo... oh. :(

I actually didn't hate Kill the Moon, but I can very easily understand why many people did. I honestly feel that Forest of the Night was the only series 8 episode that was legitimately bad, and even that had some great Capaldi bits.

Well, it looks like Moffat has signed on for series 10. Sigh. I appreciate him killing the David Yates film, but I cannot be excited by this news.

The relevant bit:

Man, it's weird seeing Wales Online cited on a predominantly American message board :lol the things Doctor Who has done for us.

:lol

Yeah, it has expanded some horizons, I think. I'm glad it has. I seriously doubt I could run down to the supermarket and grab a pack of Jammie Dodgers or Jaffa Cakes if Doctor Who hadn't helped create new legions of UKphiles. I'd call them anglophiles, but I hear people all the time excited about visiting Wales thanks to Doctor Who. It isn't just England anymore.

Eh, Moffat can be decent when he's not trying to over-complicate things too much... And adding in pointless story arcs that go nowhere... and keep making everything so confusing it needs a flowchart to sort out...

Soooo...when he isn't show runner? :lol

I'm getting a little weary of the"love conquers all" endings that have become so prevalent under his reign. That and reset buttons. It's not killing the series for me, but I really think the show needs a fresh voice every once and a while.

:lol

Well, I didn't want to say that, but yes :lol

Agreed. Doctor Who needs some serious feels sometimes, not just 'love is the best thing ever' as the be all and end all. Maybe when it's time for Clara to leave...
