If you think any 5" figures are becoming scarce or difficult to find, or indeed are discontinued, please post here.

To start the ball rolling: I no longer see the Cyberman WITHOUT gun on the shelves anywhere. Are these discontinued?

Judoon Troopers: can't find these anywhere either, although the Judoon Captain seems plentiful. Perhaps rare because people (like me) are army building?

Captain Jack and Empty Child: I understand that the carded version is now discontinued?

I've also used Mike's Comics, Mike Salvom is a really nice chap to deal with as well.

WhoNA is a good place to get discontinued figures, never had a problem with shipping them from the US, nice people to deal with as well.

I think we can safely say that both the blue and black Clockwork Robots are now discontinued...although there is of course the rather splendid purplish version in the new wave of figures.

I got a letter from Forbidden Planet saying they'd sold out of this figure and wouldn't be getting any more... though they'd already charged me postage for it as I'd ordered it with another figure and they charged me the shipping costs for two figures although they only actually sent one.
I then received an email from CO saying the figure was a prototype and was never produced... so what FP sold out of, heaven only knows???
Still waiting for them to refund the postage charges... all I can say is I certainly won't be ordering from them again!

Tan Scarecrow was never released. Apparently CO have asked for the figure to be removed but it is still up..

i think its a safe bet we will never see this figure again in the shops, then again i could be wrong..

I've not seen the original issue Moxx for yonks. Only ever saw 1 Cassandra/Chip twinpack for sale (which i brought), they don't seem to be in great supply either.

Just thought of a couple more:

Cyber Controller (original white eyes release)

Rose and rusty K-9. I've not seen Rose and non-rusty K-9 around lately either come to think of it

I'm sure I've seen Judoon Troopers and Jack and EC's in TRU in Sheffield, but to be honest I don't really look anymore.

Woolies and Sainsbury's have them round here.
Dalekfan Posted - 26 Sep 2007 : 11:18:44
Either! Thanks for that info.

Addendum: the Judoon Trooper is NOT in the current wave of Series 3 figures (although the Judoon Captain is), which explains why it's generally absent from the shelves...
Liberator Posted - 26 Sep 2007 : 06:23:21
Are we talking just the figures themselves or the actual releases? If the latter, there's the Sycorax Leader on UK card and Slitheen on card without Space Pig.

If the former:
