Shut up and take my money

[dieastra]

Yeah, 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

Oh, he's awesome! But half a year to get it? :-/

And yeah, the face is too young and narrow. Maybe the jaw isn't square enough, too. But still awesome.

Hope you have a good day!

Well, here is how it works. They make a prototype. A lot of work goes into that until it’s right. When they are finished, they put them up for pre-order. At the same time they start production in China. But of course it takes time making 1000 or 2000 of these figures. Sewing all the clothes and stuff. And also the shipping from China to the UK takes another one or two months actually

Looks pretty good!

I look so forward to him! But that will be a long wait, he's not even up for pre-order yet. Hurry up!

If they work on his face he will be perfect.

So far all their figures have been great, so I am confident! I'll make sure to update in here once the official pictures are out.

Big Chief Studios really does an impressive job!!!

I can imagine all the fun you're going to have once you get this one.

Maybe then you can do pics of where Jack meets his double from an alternate reality ;)

Yes, I am a huge Big Chief Studios fan! They are fans themselves, and have fun in what they do, and they listen to their customers and also don't rip them off money-wise.

Maybe then you can do pics of where Jack meets his double from an alternate reality ;)

Something like that, yeah! Will be hard to keep it family friendly though. I mean, the one person knowing what Jack Harkness likes is Jack Harkness himself ;) I actually read a fanfiction once with that theme. There was time travel involved. And one time Jack experienced the sex as his younger self, and then later it was his older self, going back and seeing it from the other point of view. It was a very nice story actually.

He looks like his son in a cosplay :) Or is it only me?

[dieastra]

Haha! That's what I am always saying about this Dark Archer figure: http://media.popcultcha.com.au/media/catalog/product/a/r/arrowdarkarrowreaction.png... )

However, if we go back to watch those first Doctor Who episodes with Jack, he WAS that young!
I know! It's almost like it isn't him :) I'm used to his look in Torchwood, or Doctor Who season 3. It's been two years between DW season 1 and 3 but you can tell the difference, it's also the make up.

I'm also always blown away how young David Tennant looks in that first Christmas episode.
He looks different without his sticky-uppy hair, and he has different make up - they covered his freckles in later episodes.
Every Doctor changes during his years - I swear, Matt Smith looks 11 when he starts, and in season seven, his Doctor is so, so old. Peter Capaldi looks different with a new haircut, and now in season 8, he looks... incomplete. I'm sure it would be the same with Eccleston if he stayed longer.

I'm sure the finished figure will look great though.
For this price, it has to :)

Yes, the Utopia Jack will always be the Jack I think of first. The way he lays on the ground and saying to Martha "Captain Jack Harkness and who are you" and the whole "Can't I say hello to anyone?" that followed is what describes him best
