Doctor Who miniature - reference
« on: 27 January 2012, 02:33:06 PM »
Hi all,

I've recently updated the Doctor Who miniatures section over at the Lost Minis Wiki (http://www.miniatures-workshop.com/lostminiswiki/index.php?title=Category:Doctor_Who). 

I'd very much appreciate any feedback on missing figures/manufacturers. Also if you have any of these miniatures and could contribute a missing or better picture* then please go ahead (or send me the file). I'm also looking for catalogs, magazines and adverts showing these at the time of production (Jpgs or PDFs preferred).

I hope you find the section informative and useful. Thanks for looking and please pass this on to anyone else you know who may be interested.

regards
Andrew (Tiki Gamer @Lost Minis Wiki)

The Melody lake figure that you have in the Crooked Dice section is a conversion & not available from them.

Hi, Tiki Gamer.

I think you have placed Crooked Dice, Ainsty and Heresy in the wrong category.  Those figures which they have made which could, coincidentally, be used for Doctor Who should be in your "Substitutions" section.  You wouldn't want to be the cause of any "cease and desist" letters, however erroneous, I'm sure.

You might also add to that section the 6mm figures made by Irregular Miniatures for the Tusk scenario "Exterminate" (from Steel Tusk III: Apocalypse Soon) - see the 6mm/Tusk section of their website at http://www.irregularminiatures.co.uk/ and also the NSF7 Robot Attack Class  in the 6mm/Science Fiction and Space Ships section.

In 40mm, Doctor Who gamers might be able to find a use for Graven Images' Enfs008 "Travelling Do-Gooders - smug doctor and his assistant", available from Monolith Games.

In 28mm, there are some more possible Substitutions available from Mystic Spirals: http://www.mysticspirals-miniatures.co.uk/MS_ModernHorrorShop.html

Other ideas for Substitutions can be found by searching LAF's "Future Wars" forum.

For the Micro-Universe range, if you have the leaflet that came with the packs, a scan of that will give you the entire range.  (Mine is covered in my notes, I'm afraid.)

Doctor Who Adventures "free gifts" in roughly 28mm now extend not just to 2010-styled Daleks, but also to Cybermen, Sontarans, Weeping Angels and, as of next week, Ood and Judoon.

Thank you Steve F - I'll move some ranges around as you suggest and take a look at the other ones I don't yet have listed.

I've added a DW Adventures page actually earlier today after spotting your posting on the miniatures due next week and realising there were others as well.

Aircav - thanks for your comment on the Melody figure - I wasn't sure if it was just a discontinued figure. I'll remove it.

Many thanks

Excellent news....hope they're decent.

Nice work andrew - I've been watching it grow with interest....

Thanks - all feedback and suggestions reflected in updates over at Lost Minis Wiki.

I've also recently updated sections there on Judge Dredd, Blakes 7, Starship Troopers and Stargate.

Did you say Blakes 7? Where might I find that list on the site?

Not much there - you're probably much better searching this forum. Lost Minis Wiki is really for recording now OOP figures. (such as the Citadel Doctor Who range and Mongoose Starship Troopers).

Thanks for the link Tiki Gamer. As it turns out I have all of those. I guess it's time to do some more conversions.

Just got the Doctor Who Adventures magazine with the Judoon and Ood. These are reasonable figures (Judoon faces look a little strange and the Ood are quite tall).

Next issue is giving away Silence and Silurians... can't make out how the Silurians look but the Silence look very good.
