----------
The SDCC figures, which we have still to be announced in full, will be on sale at SDCC very soon now.
We have been in conversation with both ForbiddenPlanet.co.uk and ForbiddenPlanet.com and their response has not been on a positive line. The .co.uk website said that they had not been approached to sell the figures, and would put them on preorder if they were. However the .com website said that they were not going to have the figures on preorder and hoped to simply have a limited stock from buyers at the SDCC itself.
This appears to be the story everywhere so it would seem that Underground Toys and BBC Worldwide will only be selling these figures at the Convention and not making them available elsewhere. This does seem like a big shame as last year the system worked well, however things could change in the coming week or two.
To ensure that, if people are desperate to get hold of the figures, they can, we have again organised with ManofSteel (otherwise known as Bob!) and he is going to get hold of figures for people this year. We can confirm that he has been collecting these figures safely and securely for members of this website for a number of years now.
The absolute cutoff date for orders is JULY 19th. Money will have to be sent by PayPal by then to ensure that it can be cleared in his account before he buys the figures. As before – if they are cheaper than expected he will refund left over money, but he is estimating at the same prices as the figures have been sold at for a number of years now.
Of course we are not completely aware of which figures will be for sale this year, but the prices below are split up by two-packs and single packs, to fit in with rumours.
Bob will need:
Your forum name (make sure he knows you’re from DWFO!)
Email Address
Shipping Address
Order of what figures you want.
He needs payment no later than July 19th. You should pay the amount in dollars (e.g. if you wanted one Twin Set, for example the Eleventh Doctor and Dalek, to be sent to Great Britain you should pay US$90.00 or US$83.05). You can contact him direct, and Paypal him anytime, at
The prices to buy from ManofSteel (Bob) are therefore:
GREAT BRITAIN For 1 exclusive Twin Pack -$40 (x1) each for a single two pack = $40 for the 1 figure itself
-$40.00 Express or $33.05 Priority (6-10 days transit w/ tracking number)
-$3.00 for paypal fees
-$7.00 to help me offset room/gas costs for storing/transporting the figures.
Putting it at $90.00 (Express) or $83.05 (priority) for the set (About 60.50 / 56 GBP at current exchange rate) For 1 Exclusive Single Pack -$20 (x1) each for a single = $20 for the 1 figure
-$35.00 Express or $30.00 Priority (6-10 days transit w/ tracking number)
-$2.00 for paypal fees
-$7.00 to help me offset room/gas costs for storing/transporting the figures.

AUSTRALIA For 1 exclusive Twin Pack -$40 (x1) each for a single two pack = $40 for the 1 figure itself

USA
Would need to be calculated based on your address.
If you need me to calculate New Zealand let me know. But expect it to be close to the above.
NOTES
If any 1 or 2 single figures (no Daleks though - too bulky for the box) are wanted by someone and they don't mind them being opened I can ship them loose (with accessories of course) in a small priority flat rate box for $14.75 shipping to the UK or Australia.
If new figures are announced shipping can be combined.
First class will not be offered because 1) First class doesn't come with automatic tracking like Priority and Express. 2) The figures get to you faster and 3) when helping anywhere from 20 - 40+ people the only way to make it manageable time-wise for such massive ship outs is to pre-print all my labels which limits me to these options. I pre-print these labels either the day before or the day after the con and get them all out in 1 or 2 mass trips at the bulk area of my post office or the San Diego Post Office across the street from the con. If I ship first class- pre-printing labels online isn't allowed by the USPS (otherwise I'd still offer it) so it would mean a lot of trips through the counter lines/cues and taking a risk on a lot of handwritten customs forms. I'd rather bypass all that risk and hassle and keep it to online pre-printed forms.
In addition: A small part of the postage cost you see is handling/packing materials pre-factored in.
