This Friday night at 8:30 pm EST on our Youtube Channel, an exclusive interview with Jason Lenzi from Bif Bang Pow for a retrospective on their 8″ Doctor Who toy line. Never before seen prototypes, behind the scenes stories, it’s going to be fun!

I’ll round out the evening with two figures I’m working on right now.
The Troughton era Cyber Controller was a fluke, I was gifted the head by it’s creator at a Mego Meet and it hung around in my luggage for over a year. Then one lazy sSunday, I painted it and put him in an Action Jackson rescue squad uniform. I need to finish some little details (and eventually make a 2nd Doctor).
The Cyberman is the laziest custom I’ve made since I put robin shorts on my spock and called him “Submareener” (i still call Namor that). I spray painted a Bif Bang Pow Cyberleader silver. I covered the face with a dab of putty, it works, go do it.
Happy Birthday Doctor Who!
Sorry, this kind of sucks. A better copy of the commercial can be found on the “Face of Evil” DVD.
The Mego Museum has the best gallery of these toys, visit it often!
This fabulous custom of Lethbridge Stewart was cooked up by my pal Steve, want the recipe on how make one yourself? Click this link to get your own UNIT commander.
Here’s a mego scaled Who custom that I’ve never seen before, Scaroth from the City of death in his alien warrior garb. Sure BifBangPow did Scaroth but he was in his liesure suit, I especially dig the card on this.
This piece was done by a fellow who goes by “Markneto”, see more of his work at his website.
I made this guy back in the 90s, it’s a Dr Zarkov modified to be a Delgado Master for the 10″ Doctor Who line. I had plans to do PertWee, McCoy and others but the majority of them are headless 10″ figures with awesome costumes in a box somewhere, I should revisit it but that scale is hard to work in and my apathy is strong sometimes……
Please forgive the “awesome” background, i was in my twenties and so green to photoshop then.
It’s Doctor Who’s fifty first birfday today, so everything posted today will be Who related and well, let’s start with a rant.
Say it with me, the BBC are jerks., doesn’t that feel better?
For two years, BBP was producing my dream line, Continue reading
