I know Character Options has more or less abandoned the 5" line but John Hurt gave me hope.

From what I've read the 5" line isn't entirely dead, it's just been scaled back so much that it's going to only be 2-3 releases a year. I think the only certainty at this point is a Capaldi figure.

I don't know what it is that makes them not sell. Season 6 had a god awful selection of figures that shelf warmed hard, and the classic releases are so limited, expensive and (in some cases) obscure that its only appealing to a VERY niche market. The new scale seems to be doing well, so I guess that's what's here to stay until someone else takes the license

A wooden Cyberman is an inevitability, but it's undoubtedly be a repaint of the previously released 3.75" Cyberman. Which to its credit is probably the best new scale figure released so far.

It's only really the human figures that are hit and miss. Most of the monsters have been absolutely fantastic, especially the Cybermen. Their biggest hindrance is that Character Options' articulation department seems to be stuck in the dark age :/

On a side note, I've been having some fun with my new McGann figure
