Just out of curiosity, does anyone know how the Micro Daleks compare size-wise with BTD daleks?

To my old eyes, they are about as good a match as you'll get from two different companies  :D

All these Dr who miniatures I keep seeing on the forum have made me think I would like some of my own.
Some questions if you don’t mind me High jacking your thread a little.
Is there somewhere to look online at these figures?
Is it a range you have to buy in packs where you can’t see the contents?
What are they like for cost?
How well detailed are they?

Black Tree Design do classic series Who stuff...

the MU are bendy plastic... the humans in my opinion are next to useless with little detail (faces) and realistic proportions (very slender) when compared with 28mm figures... the aliens are fine (Daleks in particular... pics of some are on my blog...)

you can buy the mystery sets or try eBay for individuals of the MU stuff... if you're in the UK the Works has the mystery sets dirt cheap at the moment...

When I was in Woolworths at Christmas they had Doctor Who figures in boxed sets. I presume they were the the Micro Universe ones, as they looked about 28mm. But these were packaged like toys, with a big window so you could see what you were getting. Woolworths was closing down and they had loads and loads of them going cheap.

Like an idiot I bought absolutely none. I wasn't really interested in painting Doctor Who figures then, but Anevilgiraffe's lovely stuff is making me wish I had. Oh well.

I would like a K9 if anybody still has a spare, I can't offer any Dr figures in return. :(

I can offer my love and undying affection in return and who could possibly turn that down.....?

Ok, failing that PM me lol

I got a bunch of Victrix figs to make Ming the Merciless troops with last week. That then morphed to converting them to House Atredies troops (which they do rather well I might add), Tommorow morning I get a bunch of Warlord romans (got em for the heads to go on the Victrix figs to make my Ming dudes.) By tommorow afternoon I'm sure some or all of the romans will be on the cards for something else. Add to that I am also getting another box of victrix guys to make the Rum Corp.

Very intriguing ideas, especially the Atreides troops! I would like to see what becomes of them - unless you get completely sidetracked by something else, of course  lol

Just one of my pet hates - at least, when they are left with black edges. I use them quite a lot, but with the edges textured and flocked etc. As bases they are fine, it's just the way they are used  :)
