Nice figures, both of them
A CANADIAN local hobby store with a small selection of historical wargames miniatures (mainly from Warlords). They also have a great selection of paint and hobby accessories from Vallejo, Army painter, AK Interactive, Green Stuff World and more.; https://www.kingdomtitans.ca/us/

Look for "Doctor Who" on Wikipedia.....

I think you must be mistaken. This miniature is clearly nothing to do with that particular television programme and its associated trademarks.

The BBC have gone after people for publishing online knitting patterns of cuddly Doctor Who characters, so it might be wise to be careful what words one uses when discussing these minis.

The greens of the adventurerous duo are splendid. I ordered a set before I saw them and very happy I am too :D

The totally unrelated pic of the Dalek from the BBC programme Dr Who is horrid though  >:(

How on earth did these two topics become entwined?

So these are supposed to be some Not-DrWho figs?

I pre-ordered last week and I am pleased to see that the figures dont disappoint.  In particular I think that WPC Killian bears a strong facial likeness to the RL woman, which is cool.

As someone already said, Crooked Dice are off to a great start: well done and good luck!  Cant wait to see the next releases  8)

Any resemblance to the 11th Doctor and his assistant is purely coincidental.

Of course, I suppose you could paint them to resemble those two if you wished, though ;)

Thanks for the comments - we're delighted with them.

And Plynkes has that right.

DWMG is completely free and a fan produced game. Use of any image and names are property of Auntie and credited as such.

Crooked Dice plan to produce modern minis for use for our new 7TV game on sale later this year.

http://www.crooked-dice.co.uk/7tv.html

Players can use our mini releases in DWMG too if they wish, but any likeness is purely in the mind of the viewer...

Flip -You can pre-order from the Hasslefree stand at Salute. Hopefully, they will be available May/June subject to casters schedules.

We recognise the need for anonymity, but it is quite clearly Michael Caine in his role from Educating Rita, university lecturer (slightly updated with whiteboard marker).

I'm afraid the figure of Rita looks nothing like Julie Walters though.
