Oh lord.As if my drink problem, DVD buying and impending release of Grand Theft Auto 4 weren't enough to threaten my already unstable bank balance, Character Options have just released promo pics of their new Classic Doctor Who action figure range. Bear with me folks, I'm about to get gee-kay. (Actually, the phrase gee-kay made me sound a lot more geeky...)
So, pretty obviously, we get the classic Tom Baker action figure. There's also a figure of lovely man, but not the best loved Doctor; Colin Baker. Not as much loved he 
may be but his action figure is a beauty! Also available is a Peter Davison one, sans cricket ball unfortunately. There's also, again, rather obviously, a set of "Classic Daleks" featuring a Dalek from their original appearance, the Jon Pertwee serial Planet of the Daleks and old favourite, "Insert Best Story Hyperbole Here" Genesis of the Daleks.

Glad to see that they're going for some other lesser known favourite monsters for the first wave of figures. There's a Sea Devil, a Zygon (Bring 'em back!), 
Magnus Greel and Mr Sin (Right, though, I'd have preferred an actual size homicidal Mr Sin ventriloquist dummy.) and also two of the Voc Robots from the truly wonderful Robots of Death.

Hopefully this first wave is a huge success, some early wishes for wave 2 are a Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart action figure, the much rumoured Tenth Planet Cyberman to be a reality. Oh, and a Jon Pertwee action figure with a "Venusian Karate" feature, involving some sort of chopping arm.
That's not all however. Each figure comes with a part of the giant K-1 Robot from Tom Baker's debut serial, which was imaginatively titled, er... Robot. 
Another bloody reason to spend a heap of money. Until next time, faithful reader, by which time I may have flogged a kidney, or taken to selling my body down the harbour.
