On a lighter note, I've got autographs from two of the actors inside the Silurian costumes. I have Vincent Brimble who played Tarpok and Stuart Blake who played Scibus, Brimble recently appeared in Village of the Angels during Doctor Who's Flux season while Blake's last appearance was a Chancellary Guard in The Five Doctors. I'm a big fan of Warriors of the Deep , it does get a lot of flak for The Myrka and Ingrid Pitt's somewhat hammy acting.
Fortunately, you can just order this one online. Recommend joining Dr Who figure Facebook groups; there are people who can pick them up for you, charge cost price and post them to you.
@@who-time Tried that with someone once on another Doctor Who facebook group who wanted to charge £36 for the figures and £10 for postage. I told them where to get off. Unless it's the £19.99 standard price and £4 for delivery, I ain't interested. This joker thought he could rip me off.
@@Jasonm25870 The Warriors of the Deep set is on Character’s website I meant. There will of course always be people looking to make a buck. Recommend using John Hogg or Anthony Fagan on the Dr Who figure groups for help with B&M sets.
I couldn't justify £30 for all 3 but someone was selling one Silurian for £15 on eBay so I caved and bought it. They're great figures! Very weird choice though because I can't think of anything the new sculpting can be used for to justfy the cost. It's not like the Axon where they can just repaint it and sell it again as a Krynoid. There might be individual parts they can re-use but the bodies are unuseable as anything else and even the heads are just different enough to the 1970 Silurians that they probably won't reuse them for that.
@@strawberryswisher. I don't have £30 to spend. Like I literally just don't have that. But I could scrape £15 together. I'd rather have one than none so I bought it.
Fair enough. Cost of living just keeps going up. Glad you managed to get one. The Head of the figure range - Al Dewar - is a fan of this story, so he managed to wrangle more budget for sculpting & make it an online exclusive. It was totally unexpected I grant you. I too have a soft spot for this story but understand why many don’t so wouldn’t be so bothered about this set. Using the same parts from the Sea Devil figure, as mentioned in the video, they could do another exclusive set for the 1970 Silurians I think. That would probably interest a lot more fans.
Haha well the fur coat Troughton was on my To Do list. Yet to be in the middle of making something or to have finished a custom, then for it to get an official release. Now the likelihood of that is greater than ever. I have finished some Wheel in Space Cybermen, sooo it’s possible they’ll come out.
@@who-time I’ve been incredibly tempted to make one, and as soon as I bite the bullet you watch one be announced! At least two online exclusives this year, rumour of three since we didn’t get the second last year
@@KapybaraKSP The more releases, the happier I’ll be! Most of the customs I’m planning would be outside Character’s tooling budget or too niche for sales I’d think but who knows.
@@KapybaraKSP Surely they should consider releasing the most recent designs of iconic monsters like Zygons, Ice Warriors, Sontarans & Cybermen (well 2 designs for these). They’d be nice army builder releases. A man can dream!
The first CO set, since they started the Doctor Who range, that I'm not bothered on missing out on. Now, had it been a trio of Pertwee era Silurians, I might have been interested. The Warriors Of The Deep Silurians and Sea Devils always looked a bit bloated for my liking - adding the 'shell' armour to the Silurians/Eocenes/Whatever, made them look a bit tortoise like. Nothing wrong with tortoise based alien races - the Chelonians of the 'New Adventures' novels were superb - permanently annoyed warmongers, some of whom enjoy flower arranging when not on a killing spree. But on Silurians, it looks odd. The figures look great, but I think I'll pass (and they remind me of Dobbin, sorry, the Myrka) this time.
You will regret it, maybe not anytime soon but in maybe 6 months time once they're all gone and going for three times the price on ebay. Trust me, I've been there.
Haha it’s possible you may regret it down the line. I did that very thing with the Planet of Fire 2 pack. Haven’t got an Anthony Ainley Master still. Bloomin’ annoying! 😜
A nice addition to the 80’s shelf for me, got to love the Davison era
Great Video can wait see the Ice Warrior Custom Figure. All the Best!

That’s cool to have met them 😎 I enjoy it too despite the flaws 🤗
Our branch of B&M hasn't had any of the releases from last year. I have totally given up on them.

@@who-time Yeah, tried that one too and Character don't do online sales. Otherwise I'd have done it for the others.

This is the weirdest thing I've read today. You couldn't justify £30 for three, but £15 for one. That just doesn't make sense to me.

I suppose this is now not the only time that you've gotten something only for the same thing to be announced right after now... 👀
