Looking back at 2009

We last wrote a Monthly roundup just before the 3rd Doctor figures were released, and you might remember that we suggested it might be the ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ – that things were about to change.

SDCC brought us boxsets and figures galore, more than we could possibly have imagined, and just as the New Year closed we had news of new CO regular figures.

All in all I think 2009, we can agree, was not quite the drought collectors had feared, but it wasn’t everything we wanted either!

We had a 2009 figures poll on the forum and the results are very interesting – some extremely close, some easily won. Our thanks go to DoctorWhoDave for organising it, and you can see the results in full here: http://drwhofigures.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p=72445#p72445

Looking to 2010

So what does 2010 hold? Well with the sheer weight of rumours flying about everywhere I think it best to simply sit back and wait personally – when there are so many rumours some are bound to be true, but we must be wary of talking ourselves into corners.

I have heard several people holding back from buying figures because they heard a rumour that they were being released again etc. This, although possibly true, is a dangerous practice. If figures don’t sell they won’t be re-released, if they do sell then they may well be re-released. It’s Catch 22 for collectors in many ways, but I think it better to buy the figures and ensure you have them than hold back and worry that we might get them again if you can afford to get them all.

There are so many unanswered questions, but from what I’ve seen it’s going to be huge fun to simply hear the answers – so sit back and just take it in is my advice.

So far in 2010...

Already 2010 has proved busy – the Classic Wave 2 figures and End of Time (well, some of them) figures hit Argos stores with their new catalogue on Saturday 23rd. Already the quality of all the figures is being hugely appreciated and hailed as some of CO’s best work.

We hope to have full reviews and pictures up soon (and will be catching up with all figures that we have missed as well), but in the meantime it’s well worth getting out and picking up a few!
