Shut up and take my money

dieastraYeah, basically. This is one of the things of my flail post and what I am waiting to pre-order. And then it will take at least another half year to actually get.
I've avoided posting pictures of Jack so far (these are from a convention last November) as some of us felt that the face was a bit off. I have to agree, I don't see quite John Barrowman in there yet, and the reason is that they usually go for a neutral expression with their figures, so they can be used for more scenes. Just a little smirk would do wonders to him. They also said though that they are still working on the head and it was barely ready for the con. So I am confident that by the time it is finished, we will be blown away as usual. Also the actors are always hugely involved and it is only done with their approval.
Aside from all this, what also threw me, how young he looks! But of course it has been ten years already and unfortunately John is not a never aging immortal (although you wouldn't believe he is approaching 50 either)
From day one, when I ordered that first Eleventh Doctor, it was my biggest wish to get a Jack and I actually wrote it into the comments section.
More pictures of other planned figures (War Doctor, Eight Doctor, Rose, Ninth Doctor, Clara, Tenth Doctor in pyjama) here: Upcoming Big Chief Studios Figures

That's why I had hesitated so far to post it to not give people false impressions. Let's wait for the official pictures and even then usually people find something to complain about. For some reason, these figures are very difficult to photograph properly, so much depends on lighting and angle, but once people have them in their hands everything is forgotten and everyone is excited. I know the circle, I have witnessed it a few times already ;) So I am confident.
And I will buy him in any case. Remember, this is how we became friends, I somehow had seen that post of yours with those selfmade Jack and also Captain John figures. Ever since it was my wish to have one. And this will be my only chance as no other company has the Doctor Who licence. I think Big Chief does good work and they also really listen to their customers and try to make whatever possible. They even gave a second Amy head with sculpted hair for free when everyone was not happy with the rooted hair.
So far we only discussed the face though. What is there not accurate about the coat? I never really pay attention to such details, so I truly don't know. A problem we have with all figures - also the Doctors, which have a shirt and a jacket AND a coat - the layers add up and it is very hard to dress them properly with not bulking up at the shoulders. I mostly leave the coat off for that reason.
