Classic Doctor Who Figures | Ashens

I enjoy the fact they brought the Master back literally the same day Ashens posted this video claiming he'd not appeared in years.

[@imagineskies]

Ah, I had my Dad's old versions of these as a kid. Think some of them are still rattling around in a box somewhere. All I remember of them is that the Sontaron once ended up stuck head first in the VCR

The Sontaran is actually a pretty accurate rendition of the Sontarans as featured in "The Two Doctors". The Sontarans in that episode are two tall, have soul patches and look goofy too.

[@wolfyboy]

i am always really impressed, at how much and how DETAILED stuff, stuart knows. he can mention what the REAL LIFE name, of a character in the 70's is, as well as remember WHERE, HOW, and WHY, he got something, as well as BY WHO, 30 some years ago! while I can barely remember what i had for breakfast yesterday. >.

[@brianartillery]

I have a complete set of these, and the first thing I'd do when I opened them, was to take them to bits and re-paint them. To be fair, the Cyberman and Ice Warrior were very good, and needed little work. The Tom Baker one looked far better re-painted as Colin Baker, with the mad coat and all. I'm not sure whether that's good or not...

[@smbatman123]

brianartillery that could explain why he doesn't have the scarf, that being that the figure was sculpted already but then the doctor regenerated and they thought "oye mate we can't sell This crap. Let's paint it like that baker guy and make a profit"

[@aborted4196]

Brianna rtillery

[@eyeofhorus3286]

Fun fact: the only reason Bonnie Langford was cast as Mel was because the producer sat next to her on a roller coaster and she screamed so loud that he said "Hey, you're really good at screaming. You should be a Doctor Who companion"

[@emperordalek]

A friend of a friend of mine once used the Davros figure as the basis for a custom figure: bump-and-go Captain Christopher Pike.

[@TranscendentLion]

The Sontarans being short only really came in when they returned in the modern series. They were generally beefy and muscly rather than just short, and in 'The Two Doctors', they're suddenly a lot lankier and taller.

[@JoseDanielCampa]

I'm confused. Doctor Who is pretty popular here in the U.S. Especially among nerds; who seem to be the type of people who would gravitate towards Ashens' videos. Yet, so many Americans commenting on this video are claiming to be completely unfamiliar to the Doctor. Are you fucking with us?

[@hartage4]

Well, one reason is because not all "nerds" watch ashens and not all "nerds" watch dr who. Majority of the people who watch ashens at my school believe it or not are the gamers. Also, Dr who Dosent nessicarily go well to Americans (A LOT of my friends stopped watching it after that episode where he saved hitler but idk,)

[@VengaboysRbackINtown]

Not sure, I think it's this video's comment section 'meme' or something.

[@JoseDanielCampa]

I didn't mean for the nerd comment to be derogatory. Also, America extends far beyond your school. I've known many Americans who have enjoyed DOCTOR Who.

[@archive9796]

Really An Unearthly Child is amazing -shame only ep one is I would actually say in the UK it's main fan base is 6-13 year olds but in American it's 14-30 year old

The 3rd Doctor's action figure reminds me of Bea Arthur, especially with how it's so much taller than the others. Just like how Bea used to tower over the other Golden Girls.

[@ThePoloJuice]

"Colin Baker (6th Doctor) once hit a homemade Christmas Card I was carrying with his knee as I walked through a shopping mall. The robin fell off." You made Batman a Christmas card?

[@spacemonky99]

Since everyone is talking about meeting actors who played a doctor I will throw my encounter in. I met Tom Baker at a dump, that is it.

[@eyeofhorus3286]

fun fact: McCoy being a tiny action figure in comparison to the others is actualy screen acurate, he's only 5 foot 5!

[@vjpearce]

I always see Doctor Who figures and Daleks going round bootfairs, everyone of them missing a eye-piece or other limbs or like the one I saw today had the dome lights missing, eye-piece, plunger and gun.

[@heidifedor]

Is that Jon Pertwee, or Bea Arthur?

[@ivansophie3219]

If you really look at it, the likeness is uncanny.

[@MrTheMighty]

Oh. Oh my god. It really is just Bea Arthur straight out of an Episode of The Golden Girls.

[@brianm6337]

From that episode where they all had to fit into a porta potty during a hurricane, and ended up in Oz, and then, they came across that white rabbit guy, and....

[@tomgriffiths2622]

[@RobertWilkinsonJKekMaloy]

The 7th doctor figure's face reminds me of ODO from Star trek Deep Space Nine.

Daypol really do appear to have been phoning it in at that point because Mel's face was also crap.

Nice idea for a vid! Living in the USA, not exposed to doctor who toys until I went to my first convention.

[@jaxnean2663]

Ashens and Doctor Who! An (definitely) excellent episode!

[@davidanttila9305]

A little tid bit. Prior to the soft Reboot and hard Reboot. The Actors who played the role of the Doctor actually was allowed to contribute to the role of the Doctor. Hence why each Doctor was originally so wildly different from each other. It was Jon idea to have him banished to earth to help him make his Doctor more sympathetic to the viewers. Because he was afraid to follow up after such a fantastic Doctor. Tom Baker wore a coat so he could study the script between shootings and move pages from one pocket to the other as they finished filming scene's. Patrick Stewart contribution was the Recorder that was his actual Recorder and he wanted to act like a fool but was actually him acting like a fool but was really a genius..

[@colinmcphan]

Someone asked on here who our favorite Doctor is. After watching all the Doctors my favorite would have to be TOM BAKER! He comes off as the most believable and natural in the role. I love how he can be so damn funny, sarcastic and witty but also get angry, be moody, dead serious and screwed up a few times. The fact that he could throw a punch or Karate chop occasionally or use his mind and enginuity to get out of a jam makes him a unpredictable. I think Tom also brought out the rebelousness and anti-authority attitude of the Doctor perfectly. He even showed emotion when he had to say goodbye to Sarah Jane. Also had some of the best stories and outfits ever seen on Doctor Who. Tom has also done some very good audio adventures for Big Finish (including his newest "The Genesis Chamber"). Top six: 1. Tom Baker 2. Peter Capaldi 3. Matt Smith 4. Patrick Troughton 5. Pertwee or Eccleston God bless.😀

[@slushnerhd]

Why does Stephen Hawkins keep telling me what to do at the end of Ashens' videos?

[@DurradonXylles]

The figure that's supposed to look like Tom Baker actually looks like a guy from a 70's folk rock band (think Mamas and the Papas), and that unnerving grin on his face makes him look especially authentic because he looks like he's high off his ass. The fact that the joints have gotten rather loose has only added to the affect.

I got a load in the mid-nineties from Asda. They were in the reduced bin for about 99p or something. Dapol were notorious for their lack of research, hence the two armed Davros, the green K9, Tom Baker without his hat and scarf and the five-sided Tardis control console.

Never liked Dr. Who, not because its a bad show necessarily, but the fans are god awfully annoying. Still even stuff I don't care for is interesting when reviewed by Ashens.

[@OdaSwifteye]

People say that about all the fandoms. If you like Science fiction monster adventure shows then Doctor who is something you can watch and like. Personally. I got tired that every episode is about solving some problem or killing some monster. There's never a character episode and all development has to be about the everyday life and death situations the Doctor goes through and it always goes poorly for everyone but him eventually.

[@TheVGMajor]

Oda Swifteye I bet the show is actually pretty good, but the problem I've heard is that in many episodes they always cop out and use some bullshit "item" to save/eliminate/bring back to life someone/something. Also I do indeed hate fandoms in general, I'm all for being a fan of something and I don't think anyone should tell you what to like or dislike, but fandoms bring out the worst in people.

[@TranscendentLion]

TheVGMajor I absolutely love Doctor Who, but I really dislike the fandom. It's dominated by superficial teenage girls who don't bother to acknowledge anything about the original series.

[@alleycatalog]

I used to watch the original series, reruns of course, and the newer ones don't appeal. Now I don't have the time to watch stuff like that anyway, and I have this feeling I would just be disappointed. Ashens does make even the most mundane product seem interesting.

[@OdaSwifteye]

TheVGMajor It does suffer from that problem. Doctor Who always has to win because the enemy is holding all the cards. Everyone else might lose but the Doctor has to be able to win to some extent and depending on who is writing it (and a LOT of people have written for the Doctor) it can get a little ridiculous.

[@reetta7037]

I've only seen the first one and it was absolutely garbage. Not bothered to see the rest of them.

[@Mech610]

***** He didn't cry because the film was bad, he cried because in order to get the right proportions for Gandalf and the Dwarves, they filmed his scenes in front of a green screen and he felt very lonely and isolated from the rest of the cast. He was basically on a soundstage talking to photos of the other actors and it made him feel extremely uncomfortable. In his words, "It was so distressing and off-putting and difficult that I thought ‘I don’t want to make this film if this is what I’m going to have to do’. It’s not what I do for a living. I act with other people, I don’t act on my own."" Once they realized his feelings, the entire cast and Peter Jackson surprised him by decorating his personal tent while on location with Rivendell props to make sure he felt like part of the group. Again, in his own words, “I was made to feel, as so often happens when you’re working with Peter Jackson and his colleagues, that you belong and you’re to feel at ease and at home and happy.” In later scenes, apparently they changed tactics and tried to return to the way they got the scale between Gandalf and the Hobbits from LOTR ((By putting Ian on a stand so he stood taller than the others and so on)). Basically Weta started out kind of lazy on the production but learned their lesson and fixed it for later on. That's why we got more interior shots with Gandalf and the Dwarves in the sequel. I'm not saying that The Hobbit films are anywhere as near as great as The Lord of The Rings was, but I don't think it's fair to call them utterly awful when they aren't. They're still among the best fantasy films that have come out in the last couple of years.

[@midlifecrisi]

The first one was essentially Walking Sim 2012. PLOT: Nothing much happened until the end bit when everyone had already left the cinema. The second one actually was interesting all the way through, despite winning "obvious forced romance of the year 2013".

[@Mech610]

midlifecrisi hates Google + The second one was terrific. I agree though, the one major issue with it was the forced romance. I didn't even mind Turiel as a character, I thought she was pretty cool and let's face it, Tolkien's original work was something of a sausage-fest. But then they had to force her into a romance and it made what could have been an interesting character that much less interesting. Though to be fair, I'm kind of interested to see her reaction to the end of the Battle of Five Armies, unless they kill her off during it, which could be emotionally powerful if they did it right. I mean, it won't be Boromir, but it could still be good if done right.
