Is anybody else on here buying the Doctor Who Figurine Collection? Unfortunately, I think it's UK only. The Doctor Who Figurine CollectionThe 11th Doctor figure that came with the first issue attracted a bit of criticism - I thought it was OK, but not a terribly good likeness. Davros and the Cyber Controller are both excellent though, so hopefully the monsters will continue to be of a much higher standard than the Doctors. It's not entirely clear whether any companions are to be included in the series - the publisher seemed to say yes on Facebook, but the list of the first 60 figures which has been posted on other forums contains none (but encouragingly, it does include quite a few classic series figures).

I'm collecting this set. The figures are ok but then collections like this are never perfect (the Star Trek models are better quality). I was wondering about companions but hadn't heard yes or no.

I'm condsidering subscribing at premium to get the classic Daleks. I'm more interested in classic series figures to be honest. Anything 3rd or 4th Doctor and I'm in.

The figurine that appeared to represent Steve Buscemi as the Eleventh Doctor put me off, really.

This is the list that's been posted elsewhere - apparently somebody phoned Eaglemoss and got them to read it out to them: 1 - 11th Doctor 2 - Davros 3 - Cyber Leader (it's actually the Cyber Controller, Cybus version) 4 - Weeping Angel 5 - Silurian 6 - Bronze Dalek 7 - Sontaran (I think it's a Sontaran General rather than a Trooper) 8 - 10th Doctor 9 - Ice Warrior 10 - Silent 11 - Rassilon 12 - Ood 13 - Dalek Supreme 14 - Cyberman (2013) 15 - Omega 16 - Vashta Nerada 17 - 4th Doctor 18 - Judoon 19 - Dalek (Dead Planet) 20 - Sycorax 21 - Cyberman (Invasion) 22 - 9th Doctor 23 - Heavenly Host 24 - Morbius Monster 25 - Zygon (2013) 26 - Special Weapons Dalek 27 - 12th Doctor 28 - Sea Devil 29 - Kahler-Mas 30 - Cyberman (Earthshock) 31 - Madam Vastra 32 - Non-Doctor (John Hurt) (This is what their system calls it.) 33 - Ironside Dalek 34 - Draconian 35 - The Master (Simm) 36 - Scarecrow 37 - 5th Doctor 38 - Catkind 39 - Clockwork Man 40 - Dalek (Genesis) 41 - Cyberman (Doomsday) 42 - 3rd Doctor 43 - Krillitane 44 - The Master (Delgado) 45 - Max Capricorn 46 - Emperor Dalek Davros 47 - 7th Doctor 48 - Terileptil 49 - Gold Dalek 50 - Cassandra 51 - Cyberman (Moonbase) 52 - Smiler 53 - 1st Doctor 54 - Saturnine (Vampires of Venice) 55 - Voc Robot 56 - The Hath 57 - Dalek (Remembrance) 58 - 2nd Doctor 59 - Vervoid 60 - Dalek (Humanoid) Not sure how fixed this list is. There's a campaign by some fans to try to get some of these changed - Max Capricorn is a particularly unpopular choice at present!

I'm really enjoying this series so far - the figures have been very nice (with the possible exception of the 11th Doctor, but even there I'm happy with it). I've just seen this picture of the subscribers' special figure of the Dalek Emperor: First Look at the Figurine Collection Dalek EmperorLooks awesome! It'll be sent with issues 8 & 9, I think, so I'd better start locating some shelf space for it! Eaglemoss have also released an image of the 3D render of the Slitheen which will be the first oversize figure in 2014 (presumably a special release): Eaglemoss Doctor Who Slitheen Figurine Preview

Okay, the Emperor is rather cool.

Have they expanded that list yet? Where are the companions?

Have they expanded that list yet? Where are the companions? The list isn't really official, just what a fan jotted down when he phoned and asked them. I don't think Eaglemoss have published an official list, so it may not be set in stone. But they have published a poll to vote for which companions you would want to see as figurines: Eaglemoss pollsSo presumably they're at least thinking about including companions - maybe they'll be special releases?
