Because Some Things Can't Be Helped

I am not sorry.

Actually, I blame this community.

The Changing Face of Doctor Who Toys

I've been going to Gallifrey One for ten years now. It's been a mainstay of my convention-going life, and it's been interesting to see the convention evolve from the post-TV Movie environment, through the Big Finish era, and now the era of the new television series.

One of the interesting changes is how there are so many more quality Doctor Who toys. I've never seen so many as there were in the dealer's room this year. I didn't get an after picture, but by the end of the weekend, the entire table had been pretty well picked clean.






Of course, I couldn't resist getting a few toys of my own, including the TARDIS playset and some Daleks.









It's really quite impressive how much better the new series Doctor Who toys have been compared to any previous Doctor Who product. From remote control Daleks to action figures, they've all been solid quality. Even if you're really too old to be buying toys...

Stuff On Someone Else's Cat

Someone else's cat had almost as harsh an experience with a Dalek as mine did.

Cats vs Daleks

Ok, this is just one of those standard blog cute cat posts. But it's on this blog because it has one of those remote control new series Daleks. (Which are very, very cool if you can get ahold of one.)
