Weta Doctor Who Collectables Video

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

Richard Taylor of the Weta Workshop has posted a video where he talks about the Weta line of Doctor Who collectables. I have to admit I’m drooling over a couple of these figures, especially the statue of the Roger Delgado Master from Terror of the Autons, and the statue of the fourth Doctor and Davros from Genesis of the Daleks… although the Ice Warrior helmet, and, frankly pretty much the entire line looks cool as hell.

Here’s the video of Mr. Taylor talking about how cool it was for him and the Weta Workshop to work on collectables for the show that it seems inspired many of them to go into the business in the first place… Doctor Who:

Here’s a couple images of the statues. How cool is that one from Genesis of the Daleks?

Mysterious Crater Appears Outside of New Doctor Who Exhibition In Coventry

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

auton smoking craterThe Coventry Telegraph reports that a mysterious crater has appeared overnight outside of the Coventry Transport Museum, just a day before the  opening of a new Doctor Who exhibition on Friday.

Reportedly, strange lights and smoke were seen to be emanating from the crater, and police have cordoned off the area while experts are being brought in to examine the scene.

Considering the timing, I can only assume the crater was caused by the auton control sphereAutons following their traditional pattern of spearheading their invasions with false meteors containing the Nestene Consciousness.

The consciousness is then used to animate various forms of plastic to deadly effect.

Look at the evidence: we have a smoking crater that has appeared like something fell from the sky;

we have a a strange light glowing from within the crater, which sounds a lot like the glow of a Auton control sphere…

You mark my words. Within weeks we’ll be seeing department store mannequins coming to life, and armies of blank-faced plastic men in coveralls stalking and killing innocent people as their invasion plans go forward.

The Auton Invasion has begun.
