The folks at Big Chief Studios released images today of a new body for their much-anticipated 11th Doctor male figure. Highly articulated, their website says this figure “will be utilised for both the Eleventh Doctor and also the Tenth Doctor, with a few minor modifications”. It will also be compatible with their soon-to-be-released Costume and Accessory Expansion Packs. Announced last November, news of the figure was released with breathtaking images of the prototype that are so life-like, many thought – myself among them – that they were actually photographs of the 11th Doctor himself!

I am actually seriously thinking that since we will be the first panel in there, we will be getting there as early as we can and POSSIBLY airing something special before the panel starts.

Last year’s video track?

Videos that didn’t make it in but are still kick-ass?

Maybe. You’ll have to come and see. We will let you know what’s happening via Twitter, so stick close to your feed.

They are/were both right. They both brought strengths to the show and have their weaknesses, but then every show runner will. I enjoyed RTD’s era for the angst and passion and brilliance he coaxed out of David Tennant’s performances and I love Moffatt for the fairy tale of Amelia Pond and the brilliance and poignancy of the Doctor with his Idris.

And TOGETHER they both brought us Blink and the tear-jerking reunion of his Doctor and Peter Davison’s in Time Crash, solidifying the link between Classic and New Who in the minds of many fans I have talked to – Davison even highlighted this bridging in his time on stage at Gallifrey this year.

I WILL NOT takes sides. This is a not pissing contest as to who’s Who is better. Finding joy and enjoyment in both eras means the fans win and that makes it so worth watching in the end.

The peeps who brought you the Amy Pond Paradox at DragonCon are at it again! They are organizing another photoshoot for Gallifrey One 2012. Costume/outfit choices are going to be on a first-come, first-serve basis. They are also looking for a photographer since the one at DragonCon won’t be there for Gally. If anyone knows one who will be attending the convention that would like to do it, please contact me and I’ll put them in touch with you. It is tentatively set for Saturday but at this point the date has not yet been finalized. Stay tuned for more info as it comes in. (photo by Christa J. Newman)

From DoctorwhoTV:

“Steven Moffat has explained the reason why Series 7 of Doctor Who is moving to Autumn 2012.

“The truth behind the delay next year is: why are we killing ourselves and risking compromising the show, in order to go out in the middle of summer? I’m sick of it. I’m sick of standing in the blazing sunshine, with a barbecue fork in my hand, knowing that Doctor Who is coming on any minute….“Six o’clock on a sunny Saturday is the middle of the afternoon, whereas six o’clock on a winter or autumn Saturday is dark and exciting.””
