Toys and Games Reviews of Doctor Who - 5" Action Figure - Ten Figure Gift Pack (series1)
Customer Review: Series 1 in toy form!
Summary: 4 Stars
So here's the Doctor Who Series 1 gift set. While I see a number of reviews for it I'm going to break this set down figure-by-figure and rate them as either lame or awesome as I go through them. Some may be a surprise actually. Lets get started shall we?
The Ninth Doctor:
What an odd place to start. Yes this is our Doctor for Series 1 so it hurts to say that this figure isn't very good. First, he's not very possible, in fact he can't even take a neutral stance. He's literally stuck looking rather silly or like he's dancing. The set also doesn't include accessories so the hand that would look slightly better were it holding a screwdriver, doesn't even have that. The best I can come up with is maybe you could imagine he's commanding the Nanogenes from "The Doctor Dances", but that's about it. If nothing else its an okay likeness.
Verdict: Lame
Captain Jack Harkness:
Oddly the main companion of the Series, Rose Tyler, is not included in this set, but Camptain Jack is and the figure is great. Wearing his REF jump suit from "The Empty Child," I can only imagine this figure disappointing if the buyer wanted a more Torchwood Jack. He's very articulated and it looks like John Barrowman did in the episode.
Verdict: Awesome.
Tenth Doctor (Regeneration Version):
Odd isn't it that this is Eccleston's set and David Tennant is still included. Its made worse for ol' Chris in that David has a much nicer figure. While not a perfect likeness to Tennant, the figure has him in the old Doctor's clothes from right after his regeneration and the toy is very well made. This figure is actually more articulated than the other Character Options Tenth Doctor figures and it really is nice.
Verdict: Awesome.
Auton:
Well... I did not expect to like this figure at all, let alone as much as I do. How one makes an action figure of a living plastic mannequin a great toy is beyond me but they did it. The sculpt is very nice and the clothes on the little guy look surprisingly cool. The hand can also become the gun from the show. I just don't do it as not to break the hand.
Verdict: Awesome
Slitheen:
Okay, honestly, I take a lot of issue with the Slitheen for bringing fart jokes to Doctor Who, so again I must admit I'm surprised to say that this figure rocked. The articulation is great and the sculpt is very alien and life-like. This is actually a cool figure.
Verdict: Awesome.
Space Pig:
This defines lame. The darn thing was on screen for less than two minutes and this not very articulated thing that can hardly stand up doesn't help. Of all the things in series 1, this was an odd choice.
Verdict: Lame
The Empty Child:
No the most articulated but dern creepy. This little kid appeared in what was probably series 1's best episode, and he was creepy in that too. This figure gets uber creepy points!
Verdict: Awesome
Sycorax:
This alien wasn't in series 1... Seriously, it was in the first Christmas special that started out Series 2, so it seems an odd choice. The figure is really cool though. I wish he has a sword to fight David Tennant with though.
Verdict: Awesome
The Moxx:
LAME. This figure defines lame. He didn't do anything in the episode, he was there for a spit joke and that was it. I can't imagine why this of all figures was put in the set but it was a very very bad choice. There's no real articulation and there's really nothing you can do with him. I'm not bothering even putting a verdict down.
Dalek:
I saved this little guy for last. This is a very cool Dalek. Its about as articulated as a Dalek can be, but it also has a removable front plate so you can see the Dalek mutant within. I'll be the first to say I love Daleks, but this one is very very neat.
Verdict: Awesome
Final thoughts:
When I got this set, it was a great way to get a lot of figures for relatively cheap. It's certainly a great way to get quite a few aliens an the Tenth Doctor, Jack, and the Dalek are honestly worth the price of admission. Its only too bad there are some weird choices for this set and that the Ninth Doctor is so lame. I still would say this set is worth it overall.
