They are okay - but when compared to the five inch high figures, made by the same company, there is no comparison. These three and three quarter inch high figures are really intended as toys. The larger ones, ARE toys, but so beautifully detailed, and superbly finished, that most people don't open them, let alone play with them. I have been collecting them since they started becoming available, and like a lot of collectors, are annoyed at the sudden decision to change the scale. Another thing is price. The only 5" scale 12th Doctor available is as part of a set of the Doctor as he appears in his 11th incarnation in his last story. One body, three heads - young 11th, old 11th, and regenerated 12th. This set costs upwards of £30! (Didn't stop me from buying three, though). If you want the 5" 'War Doctor' from the 50th anniversary show, then he's £25+. Whatever, the detail on these little figures could be better, and there is no excuse. I occasionally buy Star Wars™ figures that catch my eye, and the last one I got was an obscure one: Bo' Shek™. Who's he? you might ask, and I reply that he's a vitally important character. No? He's the guy in the spacesuit who, in the Mos Eisley cantina, introduces Ben Kenobi™ to Chewbacca™ (sorry, I just found the '™' key). Why do I bring this up? well, because the 3.75 figure of a really obscure character from Star Wars™ is spot on perfect, whilst the newer 3.75 figure of the main character of a 52 year old TV show looks a bit like the Doctor. And for some reason, that disappoints me.
