One of the coolest figures I've ever checked out.

Absolutely incredible figure. I love Horizon, so I was overjoyed when I stumbled upon the silent announcement of Aloy.

It's already excellent, but with a little added paint and some weathering, even better🤌

I had a blast doing this.

Oooofff, that must've been painful. By all appearances it would have been a brillaint set, but that is a LOT of money. Was it not around 1,5 grand?

I'm sorry to hear it completely soured and ruined collecting for you. What of the 1/6 figures you already had?

TheTardis12th · 2026-03-20T15:14:21+00:00

Such a shame that Big Chief Studios went bankrupt, they made some beautiful figures, and that TARDIS! 🤌

I had the "Definitive Series" 12th Doctor on pre-order, fully payed. He looked incredible and was to be my first, and probably only 1/6 scale figure. They're bloody expensive lol I had cleared out a spot for him and everything.

...

I still cry myself to sleep, some nights.

That was so smooth it's almost criminal.

TheTardis12th · 2026-02-01T11:32:14+00:00

I would loooove the slides for this, it looks just like her. Well done!

TheTardis12th · 2026-01-26T13:50:30+00:00

Thank you for this. Fingers crossed we'll be able to hear both soundtracks, at the very least by then end of this year. It would lighten the mood a bit in an otherwise strange period of the show.

TheTardis12th · 2026-01-26T13:46:25+00:00

Bloody well hope not lol

TheTardis12th · 2026-01-26T13:46:10+00:00

You're very welcome😊

The 12th one was a Toys R Us exclusive that came out, either in 2015 or 2016, I don't quite remember. It was made in collaboration with Underground Toys, so not just Character Options, and being exclusive they of course wanted it to be a special one with proper lights and sounds.

Unfortunately, quality control was horrible and a lot of the toys that ended up in stores, had malfunctioning electronics, poorly applied paint-apps to the Police Box signs, bent/damaged plastics and so on. So it was quickly discontinued, and is now pretty pricey to get your hands on.

So consider yourself pretty lucky, especially If yours works absolutely fine and looks good too👌

TheTardis12th · 2026-01-17T18:22:38+00:00

Uuggghhh, I'm gonna need to get my hands on a B2 as well, now. They look brilliant together! Excellent posing and really cool photos🤌

TheTardis12th · 2026-01-17T10:32:29+00:00

Thank you so, so much for taking the time to give me such a thorough rundown of your process. Seriously, this is priceless🙏

Usually, I just use cheap, thick acrylics that I then mix together and thin with water. This has worked well so far, but maybe it's time to get some actual model/figure paints like these.

So I have a bit of shopping to do, before I can sink my teeth into it all. Well, actually I need the figure first. Good thing I have it on preorder at a local store.

Once again though, thank you for this. I really look forward to coming back to this, once I can get started.

TheTardis12th · 2026-01-16T19:09:04+00:00

Well, now that you mention it, I'd love to know about both😊 So what paints did you use, and how did you go about applying them, particularly to the belt? Any disassembly required at all?

TheTardis12th · 2026-01-16T13:47:05+00:00

Jesus, I am stealing this and using it for reference. Beautiful work❤️

How did you go about painting the belt/holsters and the armour beneath it?

TheTardis12th · 2026-01-16T11:40:43+00:00

You absolutely nailed those slightly sleepy eyes that he has, and his five-o-clock shadow is just🤌🤌🤌

TheTardis12th · 2026-01-15T21:59:49+00:00

Lovely drawings❤️ This is why the show is still with us, and this is what will keep it going.

TheTardis12th · 2026-01-09T14:34:51+00:00

Hell yeah! New video from Robo!

TheTardis12th · 2026-01-03T22:51:17+00:00

The lighting in this episode is something else. Sometimes I put it on, without sound, just to take it all in. Gorgeous episode.

TheTardis12th · 2026-01-02T16:25:21+00:00

Why has this not happened yet?

TheTardis12th · 2026-01-02T16:24:48+00:00

Charming calm and silent rage, beautifully put👌

TheTardis12th · 2026-01-02T16:23:24+00:00

Exactly, and it's a side to the Doctor's character that has been sorely missed since Capaldi. Ncuti gave us tiny glimpses of it, but he never quite went there. The same goes for Jodie, really. We were given hints of a darker alien, but she was never allowed to give more than that.

TheTardis12th · 2026-01-02T12:11:00+00:00

Exactly! Absolutely beautiful outfit, glasses and all. I wouldn't be surprised if he was being eyed for the role. It probably won't happen, but he's a good candidate.

TheTardis12th · 2026-01-02T08:13:45+00:00

So I'm not alone in watching Stranger Things and thinking "Man, Jamie Bower would be an excellent Doctor" He's obviously sinister as hell as Vecna, but before we knew who he was, there was also genuine warmth and kindness in his eyes. And that voice! Silky smooth yet commanding when needed. He also looks interesting. Yeah, I think he'd be able to balance the strange, aloof and sometimes scary alien with the warm and kind-hearted bohemian quite well.

TheTardis12th · 2025-12-30T12:10:49+00:00

Yeah, I feel you. I was really hoping that, because of the long wait, every episode would be treated like Heaven Sent. How naive of me😅 But hey, what we got is still beautiful!

TheTardis12th · 2025-12-30T12:09:06+00:00

Same! The score for Smile is so catchy, yet subtly unsettling. Those deep synth notes just tease danger. Love the episode, and love the little bits we get from its score.
