I came to Doctor Who pretty recently, and really enjoyed it, and loved seeing Matt Smith take over from David Tennant. Watching "The Eleventh Hour," his first full episode as the Doctor, I was impressed with his performance. Also, I really liked the way he looked as "The Raggedy Doctor," so when I saw this set, I wanted to get it. Then, I saw a video about the making the action figure, and I knew I had to get it.

Instead of someone making a sculpt of Matt Smith's face, they managed to actually scan his face into a computer and created a model, and even with a few adjustments for a 5'' action figure and a paint job, the face really looks like Matt Smith!

The two figures, one depicting "The Raggedy Doctor," the other the Eleventh Doctor in his normal costume (including his "cool" bow tie and tweed jacket), have almost identical points of articulation: the arms rotate 360 degrees, the biceps and waist swivel, the elbows and knees bend, and the legs can "do the splits" as well as be moved forward and back. The hands on "The Raggedy Doctor" swivel easily, while only the Eleventh Doctor's right does. The Eleventh Doctor's legs can also swivel at the thigh, but "The Raggedy Doctor" cannot. Both of the figures' right hands can hold the included sonic screwdriver accessory tightly. While "The Raggedy Doctor" could move his head from side to side, the Eleventh Doctor could not.

"The Raggedy Doctor" has the Tenth Doctor's shirt, pants, shoes, and tie. The shirt is detailed with points of tearing, the sleeves are rolled up a bit, and the tie is loose. The shoes and pants do not look damaged, I am guessing that the bottom half was actually the same as Tenth Doctor action figures, especially as "The Raggedy Doctor" is a bit shorter than the Eleventh Doctor. A tiny complaint is that the visible bit of his chest just below his neck is obviously really part of the shirt and simply had the flesh-color painted on. On my figure, either part of the paint has flaked off, or was sloppily painted.

The Eleventh Doctor is more pleasing, with excellent detail on his jacket, shirt, trousers, boots, and bow tie. The jacket actually feels separate from the body: squeezing the back makes "the jacket" press against the figure's back. (Of course, the jacket cannot be removed, unless you want to seriously damage the figure.)

The sonic screwdriver accessory is based on the one the Doctor gets from the TARDIS at the end of "The Eleventh Hour," and is an excellent replica, for an accessory for a 5'' action figure. As mentioned above, both figures can hold it, but I've been keeping mine with the Eleventh Doctor.

Although "The Raggedy Doctor" leaves a couple points to be desired, the Eleventh Doctor more than makes up for it. Any Doctor Who fan who would enjoy action figures should like this set.

Now I just need a TARDIS...

I haven't taken the figures out of the original packaging since keeping it as a collector's item for my son when he grows up. Definitely this is place to purchase Dr. Who stuff for those who are collecting and recommended. I checked the other places even BBC America and was horrified how much more they wanted for this. Thank you for the product as well as quick delivery too.

Just the Normal 11th Doctor 1 pack is 20 USD
This is 15 for two. These are nicely made and good for a new dr who fan or a collector.Built same quality as dr who the sontoran experiment and death to the daleks set which are 60 and 40 respectively,so for around 20 bucks with shipping these are great action figures that will well withstand play!

My son loves this toy! It goes well with the TARDIS that we purchased! I hope to by the other action figures for him soon.

These are cool little action figures. I do wish the articulated joints were a little more articulated. It's impossible to make him sit down. Also, two sonic screwdrivers would have been nice and probably added about $0.01 to the overall manufacturing cost. Those quibbles aside they do make an interesting desk accessory.

I am really impressed by this figure set. The Eleventh Doctor has such a unique look to him and the manufacturer's totally captured the likeness 100%. It would have been nice to have the set come with TWO sonic screwdrivers, rather than one. However, I am still so very surprised by this awesome figure! I love this series so much and have for years. I recommend this figure!

The Doctor Who toy is AMAZING! The detail is incredible from the texture on the Doctors jacket to his sparkly shoes. He really feels like he has real chest under his shirt. "The Raggedy Doctor" is actually shorter than the other action figure. The cuts and rips in his shirt are so real looking and feeling. He also has his pants over lapping some of his shoes which makes him look like he did from "The Eleventh Hour." The only issue is the bow tied Doctor can't move his head.

Toy is not as i expected and not much fun but the david tennet doctor who toy is great. This toy is very bad.....
