I think we are both on about roughly the same thing here, except I'm saying that the number of people who started at Eccelston is now dropping in ratio compaared to other Doctors.

indeed that ratio is dropping much the same as all other doctors there have ever been, as matt smiths ratio grows whilst playing the part it will also instantly drop as soon as someone else takes the part as will every future doctor til the end of time, or even worse the end of the programme

And when the programme ends, the ratio will begin to set itself based on how long the person was in it for, as someone having more stories is more likely to have someone can start watching Doctor Who with that Doctor.

Very young children in this age range are no longer in the group that would be instantlly connected to the Eccelston era, and the number of them interested in Tennant will go soon until it potentially becomes only connected to him, unless he has a successor in the very near future (which seems unlikely).

yay! maths on DWT.net :lol: it is true though yeah, in an attempt to get back on topic I'd like to say I'd love all classic companions as CB figures but it's quite unlikely except for the collectors market although the 11 doctors set happened, but then again they are the doctor, a much more recognisable character

All the more reason to have classic CB figures. Maybe FP and UT could begin a range of exclusives. :lol:

that would be truly EPIC! I'd love a vortis building set with a zarbi, optera, menoptera, and venom grub, I don't know why but I would love that, maybe in black and white?

I doubt they would release it in black and white but it would be a lovely scene to create and have as a collection.

Do you have any other ideas? This goes to anyone really. (You might want to thow a companion in to keep it on topic :lol: )

And they can use the parts from their HM Armed Forces range to make the various UNIT vehicles and also generic troops.

I'd like to see the Kaled bunker from Genesis of the Daleks, with the Fourth Doctor, Sarah, Davros and maybe a Dalek or two (I'd like Harry and Nyder as well but that might be pushing it, maybe splitting it into two seperate sets which can be combined together).

Also, the Foreman junkyard from varoius stories would make a nice set for the 50th anniversary. Perhaps with the First Doctor (with hat), Susan, Barbara and Ian.

I think that a lot of the RTD-era Companions are pretty popular still. Besides, they have the basic parts to make a Rose, Martha, Donna, Jack, Mickey, and some of the one-off companions like Jackson Lake, Lady Christina, Astrid, Wilf, and Adelaide. They could create a Davros with the 2005 Dalek parts. They have the parts to create many baddies from the era like Sycorax's, Autons, Cybershades, a red-eyed Ood variant, a cult of Skaro set, a maybe use the body-type found on the Green-coated Eleventh, First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Doctor to make a Rassilon rare or super-rare? I would pay to have a mini Timothy Dalton! I would also see them making a variant Tenth Doctor with the brown overcoat.

I would love a 1996 TVM rare set of Grace and Chang Lee blind bags mixed in with the RTD-era.

I think they could also make a Master set (pun intended) of all six Masters.

As far as 1963-1989 era of the show, some companions could do very well like Jamie, Leela, the Brigadier, Romana I and II, Sarah Jane, Ace, and Tegan. They could easily do a classic Tardis set and they could do many memorable baddies from each of the tenures like, Autons, Cybermen, Daleks, The Rani, The Meddling Monk, Morbius, Yetis, the Valeyard, the Black and White Guardians, Sontarans, and some variants for Doctor 1-7 like a Third Doctor with a simple body type and just a velvet coat, a s12 and s18 Fourth Doctor, and a TVM Seventh Doctor perhaps.

Personally, I would love to see them do this. They have the base parts, they can slight re-tools and make new parts, which wouldn't be too much of an issue, so it could happen within the next year or two. If they make it, there will be people who buy them.
Time is relative and bow-ties are cool!
