Doctor Who - Martin Day

Advantages: High quality detailed figure.
Disadvantages: Will never come out of the packaging.... ever!

...With the regeneration and revival of the legendary Doctor Who TV series in 2005, it was strikingly obvious that a modern merchandising campaign was going to be rolled out as soon as the first episode had finished airing as new generation of fans of had effectively been captured.
