See, now I'm imagining an action figure with a big number 5 for a head - something like Chairface, you know?
But I know what you mean, and the thing is, that would make it decidedly less awesome. One reason is that I've seen Peter Davison's action figure and it's just not as good. Although I did set up a little before and after thing for Joel-Henry, and his reaction was "My God! His pants changed!" (Points to you if you can find two important inaccuracies in the action figure).
All else being equal, though, I just think this is fundamentally cooler. For one, Six looks great in this costume. Way better than he does in his own (not hard - although that vest in the Two Doctors) and, in my opinion, better than Five looks in the same costume. For two, the fact that they would bother to make an action figure based on 30 seconds of screen type is a little perverse in a way that makes me extremely happy. It has me wondering if there exists an action figure of Seven in Three's outfit, which would just be awesome. And for three, even
( ... )
Actually, I kind of hate that 30 seconds. He is SO bloody arrogant in it - not in a good way like Four - that it's shaped my grave dislike of Six.
There is one of Ten in Nine's outfit, but aside from that I dunno. I *think* I may have seen one with the cleaning lady outfit, but that may have been fan made. And I would love the Brig's kilt and Chancellor Goth, yessss.
Well, fair enough. One big difference, though, is that Four has the Brigadier standing there being tolerant but firm (for that matter so does Three). When he asks Peri "what do you think" on the other hand, her reaction is "Terrible!" And that's about where it all starts to go wrong. Which is why I love the end of "The Caves of Androzani" but I hate "The Twin Dilemma."
I was actually thinking of Bernard Horsfall as a Time Lord in "The War Games." But yeah, it's been way too long since I've seen "The Deadly Assassin" so I just don't remember it as well. We're getting there though.

Now I really want to do a before and after shot. I'm also really amused that Joel-Henry's response to this was "why does he look like a zombie?" HAH!
