A bunch of questions about Clara Oswald again in today's Funko's Q&A. So i just posted one for your viewing. CLARA OSWALD POP IS CONFIRMED.

Image

BUT maybe we'll also have an Amy?? Seems like Funko hasn't solidified their list yet for the next wave.

Image


All i want is Clara, Amy, Rory and 12th doc variant in this burgundy jacket.

While i would love them to continue the DW line if I got those 3 I would be okay if they stopped.

So it seems Amy and Clara at least are confirmed. I can't fathom they wouldn't do Rory. Last wave was 5 figures, I'm thinking this will likely be the same. So 3 are basically "known". I also feel reasonably certain there will be an Amy exclusive (I'm thinking either the Kissogram "cop" outfit or the version with all the marks for the Silence). Other 2 are anyone's guess.

Personally I would love to see any of these to fill out the other 2;
Any Doctor not currently made (1 or 9 would be my picks)
Donna Noble
Micky
The Master as Harold Saxon
Ood
Ice Warrior

They would definitely HAVE to do Rory. Can't have Amy without Rory. And I never thought of the Silence marks! That would be great for Amy, Rory, and River!

Excited more are coming, just wish it was a little sooner.

Amy, Rory, 1st Doctor, Ood, Judoon, Madame Vastra and Jenny, Strax, Vashta Nerada and more doctors would top my list.

Need more aliens/creatures to balance out the companions, or just the rest of the Doctors.
No, more, variants...of 9, 10, 11 or 12. Just my thoughts. Either way I'll buy them all if I can. :D

I want more Cybermen! They've always been my favourite bad guy from Dr Who, so the Cybus version, or Mondasian originals would be amazing. Also, the Weeping Angels from Series 5? You know when they're all cracked up and what not? Awesome!

When I put my full list, I always include a wooden looking Cyberman and the Cyberleader, both would be awesome to me! :D

I'd also love a weeping angel covering it's eyes, but I guess that would be tough with the big head, little body design. A cherub weeping angel would be cool too!

That Rory figure is awesome! I imagine they will do him in his normal clothes too. So that's Clara, Amy and Rory confirmed at the moment. I think there will be an 8th Doctor in this wave too. Only time will tell I guess (if only I had some sort of time machine...)

Yeah since he's a hot topic exclusive, there might be a regular Rory with regular clothes!
Amy is now a definite
Clara is a definite- I REALLY WANT HER IN SEASON 9 CLOTHES!!!!!!! with 12th doctor.

Also really want 12th doctor in his burgundy jacket.

Me three! Donna is my favorite companion by far. The dynamic between her an the Doctor was the best. I really loved that they didn't try to make anything romantic out of it. They were like arguing siblings or besties. They just always seemed like more on equal footing then the other Doctor/companion pairs.

I can also only hope that they give more spaces in the line to aliens. Who wouldn't want an Auton, Slitheen, Vasta Neranda on their desk? I think a Silurian or Sontaron are most likely the next ones. And you can quote me on that. Actually no don't. Don't wanna jinx it lol

I'm guessing he's still a wave 4 Pop! - but since he's being released earlier than wave 4 itself, they're probably going to wait a little while longer to show the wave itself. Hopefully we won't have to wait too much longer, the fact he was revealed at all makes me hopeful!

He's a cool little pop that I'll probably have to go to Forbidden Planet for and I'm very glad to see that he's actually getting a release, which gives hope for the continuation of the line. (He'd have been even cooler with an auton hand, but I can see why they didn't bother.) However, this somewhat typifies the treatment of the Who-line by Funko, strange variants of (let's be honest, for the most part not hugely popular with the fandom) characters rather than the iconic versions of The Doctors (all thirteen - very nearly nearly fourteen now), monsters and companions that people are begging for. For instance Mr Clever came from an episode that amongst the fans at least was almost universally panned (I enjoyed the ep, but hey I adore Neil Gaiman so I'm not sure I count), and guitar and spoon Twelve whilst both very cool pops are strangely specific versions of the character that I doubt many people bothered to pick up.

I really hope that this guy is a taster for a continuation of the line. I hate to say this given that I really don't like the aesthetic - but Titan Vinyl have treated the Who property better than this, and it shows actually. The Doctor Who Experience shop in Cardiff (well recommended by the way, full of actual props and costumes from the show pre and post the great hiatus) as well as being full of the Blu-rays, DVDs, Big Finish audios, t-shirts and generic tat, had the Big Chief figures, Titan Vinyl figures, Lego and Character figures but I've got to admit I didn't spot any pops when I was there the other day. And if anywhere was crying out for exclusive rights to sell Who-pops it's that place, they certainly had plenty of other exclusives which I was suckered into picking up!

I really hope that this guy is a taster for a continuation of the line. I hate to say this given that I really don't like the aesthetic - but Titan Vinyl have treated the Who property better than this, and it shows actually. The Doctor Who Experience shop in Cardiff (well recommended by the way, full of actual props and costumes from the show pre and post the great hiatus) as well as being full of the Blu-rays, DVDs, Big Finish audios, t-shirts and generic tat, had the Big Chief figures, Titan Vinyl figures, Lego and Character figures but I've got to admit I didn't spot any pops when I was there the other day. And if anywhere was crying out for exclusive rights to sell Who-pops it's that place, they certainly had plenty of other exclusives which I was suckered into picking up!


I totally agree with all of this. I don't like the look of the Titan figures either. I started collecting them before the Pops came out only because they had so many different characters. But I stopped with the Titans once the Pops were released and hope that someday, we have just as many characters in Pop form.

I also like the episode Nightmare in Silver. It's not my favorite but I don't think it's as bad as critics and fans make it out to be. I mean, there are worse episodes in NuWho (cough Fear Her cough). And the Doctor Who Experience is on my bucket list. Someday, I will make it to the UK.

UPDATE. NO NEW CHARACTER GLAMS ON THE BACK OF RORY'S BOX REVEALED BY HT NERDETTE TONIGHT. RORY IS A STAND ALONE.

Unfortunately, we're going to have wait for the next wave of Doctor Who glams :/


Wonder why they are doing this and rushing him out. I am sure they will update the later boxes to include him but this is a little weird no? Is this to appease us DW fans and get us to stop asking for them on all social media lol.
