Doctor Who Action Figure Review: The Sixth Doctor- Colin Baker

[craigtalkswho]

Colin Baker really should have cut his hair in trial of the time lord

[CardClashersHub]

Did you have a cold when you did this?

[batmanmarch]

@CardClashersHub I think so.

[CardClashersHub]

@batmanmarch OK. Apprently he has a bump where you can place the sonic lance?

[batmanmarch]

@CardClashersHub That's just a gap in the coat from the manufacturing process, it's not there to hold the Sonic Lance.

[CardClashersHub]

@batmanmarch OK mate, can you reply to my PM i sent ya? cheers

[CardClashersHub]

Excellent review of a awesome doctor!

is he your second fave?

[thedocwill]

talentshowdown i already left a comment for that figure

[talentshowdown]

I've an idea! Get another two others. Paint them into ones from The Ultimate foe but remove the head of one and get the Seventh doctor solomn no hat head and do a regeneration

[optimus212100]

i was so lucky, i found this figure in the backroom of the blackpool exhibition about 7 months ago. it was £20 and the last one but, im so glad i got it, its my favourite doctor figure so far

[MrDrwhoreviews]

my grandma got me this from toys r us in 2008 but i hope they will release a trial of a timelord from parts 13 to 14 one!

[APEMADNESS]

Colin Hated His Costume It wasn't part of his plan I Hate it too! Maybe thats just me maybe thats Fashion in the 80's although The Brigadiar Said The Doctor Never had any fashion i think in the 4th or 5th Doctor Season !

[TheCastellan]

That was a mullet he had in Trial of the Timelord?

o_O

[Segaman19]

Bats, what are the chances of CO re-releasing this 6th-Doctor?

I'm guessing lower than a Dalek in a limbo contest.

[Gogsy2345]

my one's head looks like Michael ball from Les Miserables. hmm maybe time for a custom?!

[ultimateood]

7:11 looks like only one ? was printed on

[CONWWE]

what is the sonic lance

[TheSixDoctors]

Great review!

What camera?

[batmanmarch]

Thanks! I use a Sony Handycam DCR-HC24E

[TheCastellan]

@batmanmarch

If you have a spare 6th Doc, I BET you could make a nice commander Maxil figure. ;)

[Trayusstudent1]

Mine arrived today along with a dozen Cybermen. I love it!!!!!

[thatsthewayitgoes09]

Brillent review. And THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD the blue costume. Suits his Doctor's character as well. Look beautiful too.

[tellymad649]

Be amazing if they did "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and Joseph wore Colin's coat. I think Colin would see that just to see the coat ripped up, because he wasn't a fan of his own costume. He found it tasteless.

[TheCastellan]

He could safely hide from baddies if he was in a quilt factory. XD

[batmanmarch]

Indeed! Or if he stumbled onto the stage of Joseph and his Technicolour Dream Coat!

[DietCokeFan]

Is it true that Colin Baker was wearing a wig during Trial of a Timelord? I just re-watched TOATL on VHS and I couldn't tell. Thanks!

[batmanmarch]

I think its his own hair, just longer. But it doesn't look god though LOL!

[TheCastellan]

Yea, I think it's his own hair.

You know...if you get another one, you could make a custom of Commander Maxil. ;)

[batmanmarch]

That would be great!

[InfernoPertwee]

It can't find this figure ANYWHERE! I've been buying the classic range since they came out and have only seen the 6th Doctor once, and that was the first time I saw any of the classic range, so bought Peter Davision and a VOC Robot instead. I've asked in shops, and no-one seems to have them. One guy said a wave is only released every time a new series comes out, which means no more wave 1 figures until 2010, and that when they get figures in there is only a few 6th Doc in a box. Can you help me?

[batmanmarch]

They have been proving hard to track down. Your best bet is any online retailers or ebay, and unfortunately Wave one aren't being released again. None of the old figures, wether it be New series or Classic, are being re-stocked in stores. So you'd best try and find one while you can.

[InfernoPertwee]

Thanks for your help.

[InfernoPertwee]

It's okay, it's all sorted out now, I bought it on Ebay. AFTER ONE YEAR I FINALLY GOT IT!

[DietCokeFan]

Great review as always! Have you seen the new Colin Baker figure in blue suit? I think it will be released when the 1st and 2nd Doctor are released. Not sure why his suit is blue but it looks neat.

[batmanmarch]

Thanks! The blue suit is based on a Big Finish audio adventure that was on the BBC's site complete with animated stills. In the story he wore a blue variation of his costume. I think it was for two reasons, it was easier to colour than his normal multicolour version and not many people liked the original.

[DietCokeFan]

Cool! I'll check it out on the site.  Thanks.

[tellymad649]

I think his hair in "Trial of a Time Lord" makes him look like a blonde version of Tom Baker

[DanielNeedham2500]

I have a sixth doctor figure with a dirty coatand when u line up his legs so the strips run down straight, his left foot points about 45 degees to the left

[tonky24]

same and my figures head comes off

[InfernoPertwee]

My Tom Baker figure had some unremovable dirt on it aswell, and the alternative head does not fit onto the body.

[cyberking999]

cool review and a really good figure

[batmanmarch]

Thank you, the detail on it is fantastic, superb work from CO.

[whoaholic]

@batmanmarch

just wanna note incase anyone didn't know but the left lapel has a bump were you can slot the sonic lance into

[CONWWE]

are you going to do the zygon and all the others

[batmanmarch]

Sure am!

[dalek014]

cool review, that figure is well good, i see what you mean by difficult to make

[batmanmarch]

Thanks!

[doctor3333333]

Great review i like colin baker hes one of my favourite doctors its asame that he only had two seasons great review 5 stars.

[batmanmarch]

Cheers! I like Colin as well, and agree that his time was too short. I think he has dealt a poor hand with some of the stories he had to work with, but he can't be blammed for that.

[doctor3333333]

Ya i know people thought that his storys

were violent but i didnt thought they were

the best of colins were the attack of the cybermen and the trail of a time lord

ive nearlly got all of his episodes and i

enjoy watching them.

[TheCyberProducer]

Great Review!!!!!

[batmanmarch]

[CONWWE]

[dalekidea]

i agree that this figure is extremely good, well done on such a great review

[batmanmarch]

Thank you! Its not the most pleasent costume, but the figure is very impressive.

[daleksfearthewhovian]
