I do remember watching some episodes around the same time I was watching Fireball XL5 and Thunderbirds etc. Your miniatures look very tempting, and well done for acquiring them. I also as you, agree with large orders over small too. Especially if there is a juicy carrot for you to do so. Awesome post again as usual Bryan, and one that now has me casually browsing for DR.

But I will sometimes end up with a figure I don't have any use or need for, or even worse, multiple copies of the same. Then there will be months where I would like the figure on offer, but don't need or want to order anything else. Really, what their offer seems to encourage for me is to hold off orders and make multiple smaller orders. I suppose with the right minis I could make a pair of matching statues.

I'm afraid they would only be look minis since my gaming friends don't like think much of Doctor Who. My favorite will always be Tom Baker as the fourth Doctor; I grew up watching him on PBS carried on Canadian cable. I'd love to paint his mini just for the sake of nostalgia. I liked Matt Smith and David Tennant more recently, and maybe Peter Davison as the 5th.horridpersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258055637085320233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-15432315871975793162018-06-21T22:45:51.707+01:002018-06-21T22:45:51.707+01:00Thank you kindly, Roger.

Like the Highway Girl, she has a nice understated menace about her.<br />I always feel a bit like a fish out of water with some of your cult and comic book hero's, this being no exception. The last Dr Who companion I saw was running around in a short corset I think she might have been called Leela. Just looked her up, it was 1977/78.

That said, there will be more of this range in my next post.<br />Indeed, Maisie Williams had a big role in "Game of Thrones". I knew an Ashildir/Clara spin off would never happen but it is something I'd like to do with these figures.
