Has Christopher Eccleston been forgotten? I think not!
When it was announced that Doctor Who would be returning to television in 2004, I admit I was sceptical. When I saw Christopher Eccleston's performance as the 9th Doctor, I was convinced it was fantastic. He quickly became one of my favourite Doctors. Just a pity that he only did one season.
I was disappointed when the official figures turned out to be 5 inch scale, so I started looking around for a figure to make my own in the same scale as the rest of my collection. I settled on the G.I. Joe Joe Colton figure as soon as I saw it, but the leather jacket was a problem. Did I try to find one on an existing figure or sculpt one? I was recently looking at the Golden Compass figures with a view to maybe using some bits for customs, and my mind started to trim down the coat that Lee Scoresby is wearing. Did a trade with Dark Horse (Cheers mate!) for one of the old GTG heads, and I was away.
I bought a Harry Potter Grimmauld Place set with Harry and Sirius Black to use Sirius for another custom. I was wondering what to do with Harry and then thought if I do a sex change on him, it would make a good Rose Tyler figure. Did a head swap with a cast of an Episode 1 Padme head, and gave the figure a breast augmentation and painted the t-shirt in the Union Jack that she wore in The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances. The Empty Child figure is a modified Lost in Space Will Robinson. The TARDIS is a money box.
"Are you my mummy?"
He's my favorite Doctor, period. Good work on the body, too! The separate-piece plastic coats often look off with different pairs of arms, but its a good marriage here. You're right about the Who line; I like the monsters a lot, but I wish the people were in 1:18 scale. Now instead I just have huge Daleks :/
