I didn't bother with the 11/Old/12 5" figure, as I presumed they'd release a proper 12th 5" later... But if not... I guess I'd better grab one while they are only selling for $40-odd... (yikes)

Is there a 5" Clara?

Is there a 5" Clara?

No 5" Clara yet. The closest you'll get at the moment is a 5" Oswin figure from Asylum of the Daleks. She comes as part of "The Impossible Set" which includes a 5" 11th Doctor figure in his clothes from the 2012 Christmas TV movie The Snowmen. You can see the set here: http://merchandise.thedoctorwhosite....tor-and-clara/

Doctor Who 5" Figure – 12th Doctor in White Shirt FPI Exclusive

Available to order from www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk

Doctor Who follows the adventures of the last Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey who simply goes by the name “The Doctor”. At the end of the 2013 season, The Doctor regenerated into his new form and new personality, and is portrayed by legendary Scottish actor Peter Capaldi.

This new incarnation, the Twelfth Doctor, is a spiky, brusque, pragmatic, yet funny, passionate and fearless character who travels with his companion, Clara Oswald. His adventures with (and without) Clara in the 2014 season lead him to make tough and ruthless decisions that make him question his character and the value of his travels.

This all new 5 inch tall figure showcases the new look The Doctor takes on after the regeneration, featuring his now signature dark blue Crombie-style coat with red lining, dark blue trousers, a long collared white shirt buttoned to the top with no tie, and brogue boots. He also comes with his trusty sonic screwdriver.

Paul Cornell talks about Four Doctors
Saturday, 08 August, 2015 - Reported by Martin Hudecek

http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2015/08...r-doctors.html

Paul Cornell has been talking to Doctor Who News, prior to the launch of Titan's Doctor Who Summer event, which sees four Doctors take part in the 5-part weekly comics series written by Cornell and illustrated by Neil Edwards.

Cornell told us he approached by Titan's editor Andrew James to work on the series. He was introduced to artist's Neil Edward's prior work and was 'blown away' by the all-round quality including 'body language' and 'special effects'. He said that meant he was able to really be 'free' with the all-important dialogue and interaction between the three (and more!) Doctors.

With Cornell being as knowledgeable a writer as any for the TV series, as well as being keen to please the comic readership, he has focused on letting the Doctors be with one another as much as possible. Ten doesn't trust Twelve at all, and Twelve can't or won't explain how he can even exist. Eleven tries to moderate between them.

He also said he was going to pay the due care and attention for major companions Gabby and Alice (who have been in the respective 10th and 11th Doctor strips), as well as contemporary TV companion Clara Oswald. Each female assistant has the honour of "[narrating] at least one issue, [thus providing] a good way for new readers to meet them. "

Paul Cornell wisely kept some of his cards to his chest, knowing that surprise and dramatic effect is vital. However he did confirm that the plot is a bit of a summer blockbuster, in that it's more a timey-wimey rollercoaster, with a few old monsters, but it's all about how the Doctors react to what's being thrown at them. And how their companions react to other Doctors. "

He also was quite positive that this major event would have its own consequences for the ongoing Titan lines. As to the key event or device shaping the story: "[It is] a photograph that could destroy the universe."

In closing, Cornell agreed that the incredible comeback Doctor Who enjoyed was simply more than any casual TV viewer or die hard fan could have hoped for, back when he was helping 'keep the flame alive' by writing his groundbreaking New Adventures novels in the 1990s. He paid tribute to both main showrunners Russell T Davies andSteven Moffat for making anything possible for the TV show.

I think I must be entering some sort of second childhood, because I find both of these new releases bizarrely attractive.

Firstly a book of Doctor Who fairy tales

and a colouring book

[BruTak]

So, who's buying the Doctor Who Complete Collection?

http://www.dwcompletehistory.com/

[Blencathra]

I wish. But at nearly £800 for the complete set, I just can't afford it.

I'm slightly annoyed with them to be honest. You really have to dig through their website to find out that each book, apart from the first two, are £9.99.

[BruTak]

I'm not getting it either.

A) I can't afford it, and B) I don't have the space for it.

But I daresay it'll start showing up in charity shops in a couple of years time anyway.
