I’LL TAKE EIGHT!

7th April 2010 • Blog Post by Ben Paddon •

The Doctor Who News Page just posted this video about the making of the new Eleventh Doctor action figure. That’s all well and good, but check out this shot from about fifty-six seconds into the video:

The Eighth Doctor. Right there. Right fucking there. Look at him. Just you bloody look. I’ve not seen any pictures of the Eighth Doctor figure yet. This is like putting your hand in your pocket and finding a tenner you forgot you had.

Ben Paddon certainly isn’t here to help a malevolent entity to bring down the website. Ben writes and hosts PortsCenter, a webseries about video game ports that exists solely because someone once asked him if Doom on the PSone was any good. His favourite colour is mope.

    Pfft, you haven’t been looking hard enough. Try hanging out at the Celestial Toyroom DAILY for a look. One went online a little while back only to be hastily removed. The face is fantastic, the hair… less so.

    I’ll reserve judgement until I’m holding the thing. It does look a bit… off in the screencap I posted, but then Eight’s hair was always sort-of its own beast. McGann hated the wig. Apparently so did the sculptor for the toy.

    Heh, before I read the comments, I assumed this post was written by Seb.

    What was it? The Eight coveting? Or the gratuitous swearing?

  3. I’m surprised you don’t have the Time Crash variant of the Fifth Doctor, Seb. The one with the celery. I mean, I have it. Am I a better person than you?

    I’m beginning to think so.

  4. Also: I don’t really care about variants, I just want one of each Doctor, and as many Daleks and ’80s-style Cybermen as possible.
