Various Doctor Who stuff

[vilakins]

My second (in more canon colours) Doctor Who scarf is about a fifth done, Jasmin notwithstanding.



I do intend to go back to the garishly bright one when I've finished this one, but I wanted to complete the more DW looking one by the end of the year for the who_knits knitalong. I also want to find some suitably metallic silver and gold yarn for a B7 teleport bracelet, though I'm not holding my breath; the huge selection of funky yarns that were around a couple of years ago seem to have disappeared.

In more Doctor Who news, it's TARDIS Day tomorrow (45 years since the first episode, An Unearthly Child, was screened) and there's even a comm for it: tardis_day.

And for the wealthier DW fan, how about a beautiful limited-edition fob watch? They also have plush adiposes if you think they're cute. Many seem to; I think they're creepy.

I'm sure Jasmine sees the scarf as a personal toy. ;)

The fob watch looks nice, pity about that exchange rate. They can keep the adiposes though. :(

The fob watch is a thing of beauty, and it works! (Well, as a timepiece rather than a timelord repository).

Yeah, I don't get the adipose love. I thought I'd include the link for those who fancy one. Give me a plush DRD instead. :-)

The adipose babies weren't really the bad guys, it was that creepy nanny that took things too far. In fact, if they'd just quietly taken only the excess fat and left, everyone would have been exceedingly happy. I know I certainly wouldn't have minded...

As for the fob watch, I much prefer the pattern on the Doctor's version, but they only sell a cheap plastic version of that, without even mentioning if it can actually be used to tell time. If they ever produce the doctor's watch in that quality, I'll snap it up in a second.

I wouldn't mind several adiposes leaving residence in my body either! :-) I still think don't think they're cute though.

Maybe they'll bring one out yet.

It would seem that someone has: http://celestialtoystore.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=4&zenid=76de139e33831633bbc54c8c3f241fa0

Not nearly good enough, though, the cover isn't engraved, it's etched and the color is all wrong. Not a good enough effort at that price.

There's this one (http://shop.scificollectorshop.co.uk/epages/es105345.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es105345_shop/Products/doctor-dr-who-fob-pocket-watch) on the same site as the Master's one, and it's engraved. At that price it probably doesn't go though. I wonder what the difference is.

It's plastic and according to a review at Amazon it's made so badly that the reviewer was afraid the hinge would break every time he opened it. With the exception of the one on celestialtoystore.com, every single doctor who fob watch I found googling for it seems to be the same. :-(

Oh damn, is it? I knew there had to be something wrong with it.

I wonder why they made a decent metal Master's watch first. I'd have thought they'd do a really nice Doctor's one. Perhaps they still will.
