The next edition of Doctor Who Adventures has a large set of Weeping Angel figures. These are in two poses, moulded in grey ahrd plastic and are 38mm tall. There's 8 "weeping" and 8 attacking - the attacking seems to have a rather stumpy arm for some reason. They're a bit tall but will look okay I think, and not bad for £2.50 for 16 figures.

Next weeks issue has a dalek/sontaran/cybermen Monster pack, but the daleks are the only decent figures in this set.

All I need to do is convince my kid that she doesn't want the figures

Interesting to see how detailed they are, could impact on Crooked dice's sales of statuesque ladies with tears and screams in their eyes if they're any good.

They're actually quite good, apart from the dodgy reaching arm on the screaming angels. Height wize, they probably just need the base sanded down. I can't open them until our kid gives the okay and she's on a school trip until Friday, otherwise I'd post some pics.

Thanks for that - I'll have to look in Smiths for the magazine on my way to the bus.

We have a subscription so not sure when that issue actually hits the shops.

I also have to admit that our packet accidently fell open

and the figures are actually a soft rubberish kind of material. Not sure how they'll handle a paint job.

I've painted the Sontarans and they seem OK. I did spray prime and have varnished them too. I'll take a pic soon. Despite being weaponless they actually don't look too bad with washes and drybrushes.

I really like the weeping figures, but that pick makes the screamers look ok though. It doesn't show how bad that stubby arm is.

dexter · « **Reply #13 on:** September 28, 2011, 09:34:19 PM »

the stubby arm angel looks as if it only has a fore arm on its outstretched arm. The arm from shoulder to finger tips is aprox 10mm . Its bent arm is 10mm too
The weeping angel's arms are 5mm from shoulder to elbow and 9mm from elbow to tips
hope this helps
ive included a pic i took earlier to see if this helps

Cut the arms off and replace with mantic zombie arms, (the outstretched ones)
