TONIGHT! BIF BANG POW DOCTOR WHO RETROSPECTIVE!

Live at 8:30 PM this Evening. We're  launching a new series today "The History of ReMego" speaking about toy lines that tried to rekindle the 8 inch format created by Mego. For our first installment, we've got the president of Bif Bang Pow! Jason Lenzi to talk about their range of Doctor Who action figures. 

 We talk about the inspiration for the line, it's origins, what was released and of course all the things that didn't get made due to its sadly short tenure. 

 Please join us in discussion at the MegoMuseum Forums: http://megomuseum.com/community/forum.php

Bif Bang Pow Unveils their Dalek

 

In the huge news department, BifBangPow! has put their upcoming  Dalek figure for preorder at Entertainment Earth, this is a Dalek scaled for 8 inch Mego like figures. It's retail? $24.99.

A few things are likely a) BBP will do colour variations of these bad boys and b) I will soon have a Dalek problem in my house. Happy to have such problems.

Preorder the Dalek here from Entertainment Earth!

Doctor Who Toyfair 2012

Bifbangpow gave Whovians 3 reasons to get excited over this toyfair with the announcement of more villains, more companions and more Doctors for 2012. After the jump we'll go through what makes us giddy...

Dalek by Proxy

While it's very likely that a Dalek(s) figure is in the works over at Bif Bang Pow, if you can't wait (like me) there is a kind of an affordable fix available in the UK. In 1975, Palitoy released this talking Dalek toy (seen above) which blends in very well in the 8" set. It's a touch shorter than it probably should be but as you can see Brock has his hands full. If you don't care about a broken talk function you can usually get one for under $30, the one i have cost around $26.

 

The Palitoy Dalek was however, not made by Mego but by Japanese toy maker Tomy. Mego made one for Denys Fisher which is hard to find in any condition, it is a little more show accurate but will likely set you back $200 or more.
