Man too good for Doctor Who sells Tardis
A fellow named Simon White is selling his Tardis on eBay. Why? Jesus.
Okay, maybe that’s not the best way to put it. According to White, he has been a hardcore Who fan for most of his life, going as far as spending years and years building a K-9, cyberman and Tardis in addition to collecting figurines. After a lot of troubles with bipolar disorder and alcoholism in his adult years, he found God and ceased his self-destructive ways. Despite claiming that his fandom was the only thing holding him together in his rough times, White is now dumping his Who love and toys, calling it a symbol of the “greatest lie that Satan ever told.” He’ll be selling his entire collection of goodies, worth an estimated £7000, in magazines and on eBay.
I don’t see Satan’s totally awesome lie on eBay just yet, but I doubt I’d be able to afford a walk-in Tardis anyway. Until I have really heavy pocket change, I think I’ll stick with my plastic Sonic Screwdriver pen.
On a related note, my birthday is next month and there’s an empty Tardis-shaped space at my place. I’m just sayin’.
New pics of Lost toys
IGN has some pictures of the new Lost figurines that will be available in September. They’re made by McFarlane and feature characters in scenes from the first season. For instance, Charlie’s sitting on a log writing F-A-T-E on his fingers and Jack appears to be stumbling out of the jungle, still in his suit. There’s also a larger one with the hatch, and 11-year old boys everywhere will be begging for a Shannon doll for Christmas.
The dolls look pretty awesome, with a few exceptions. While the details are pretty astounding, the faces of two of the characters seem a little bit off. Jack sort-of looks like Adam Sandler. Kate isn’t quite right, either. Locke and Hurley look pretty rad, though.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a Sawyer doll. So Kate and Sawyer are never going to hook up!
