I really miss that line, it was perfect for an affordable toy that had cool little detail features and included figures, yet everything could be in scale (somewhat) with the others. A very under-appreciated line. It's crazy to see Doctor Who so huge after a few decades of cult status. Any sight of that 12" Tom Baker figure shown a couple years ago? It had an uncanny likeness and looked finished. A Dalek that takes orders from a human? IMPOSSIBLE! EXTERMINATE!

I picked up the Dalek Sec figure in the Metreon in San Francisco about a week ago and it looks great. Way better than the old Dr. Who toys from the 90's. Nice and spooky alien nazi blob in armor. I really would like to get the Dalek that splits open and has the blob inside, though! These are pretty cool toys.

The silver one is about $20. The metal one? About $200. Both work (as watches that is). Torchwood figures are coming, but will be 7-inch instead of 6-inch for some odd reason... Oh, and that dalek - thats a REAL screen used Dalek.... ------------------------------ CollectionDX Admin Let me just add a few extra comments -

I took a quick look around and was a little disappointed to see mostly things that're already on store shelves. Your coverage, however, goes a lot deeper. I'd only briefly heard about the 3' voice-activated Dalek--it's great to see that coming along. Also, some of the other items (like the pocket watch) I didn't even know about! Very cool stuff.<br> Heh...since they're planning on doing Torchwood stuff, I'd better get on watching the show, huh?? ;)<br> -- Sanjeev I had very little time available to me on the show floor, so I didn't get much of a chance to peruse the Underground Toys booth.

Heh...since they're planning on doing Torchwood stuff, I'd better get on watching the show, huh?? ;)
