It’d be nice if Character Options jumped on the bandwagon and did a set of the Doctors (and maybe Daleks too) as part of their exclusives with B&M. I could picture repaints of the Eighth & Ninth Doctors, with a retooled Ten in the Time Lord getup. Character Options is the only active license holder* I can think of who hasn't gotten in on this... (...) Penguin Random House, Doctor Who Magazine, Titan Comics, Escape Hunt, Big Finish Productions, Eaglemoss Hero Collector, Immersive Everywhere, Maze Theory, BBC Books and BBC Audio (...) ...but maybe they'll jump on board later - I really thought that the Eighth Doctor was going to be among the figures given that they gave him a new costume! * Although it would have been pretty cool - if a legal minefield - to see some of the side-story companies - Candy Jar, Thebes, Obverse, etc. - contributing TLV-related stories in their own universes! Maybe one day we'll see a crossover that goes that far - even TLV's scope is wider than I'd ever expected!

The cover on that second issue is NICE.

That’s a good way to get people actually buying the annual when it comes out, rather than massively reduced in the New Year, as these things always do.
Be interesting to see if it’s a Eighth, Ninth or Tenth Doctor story or if there’s some Thirteenth Doctor framing. As in she bookends the story and it flashes back.

Nice to get the specific release dates, especially for Big Finish products, as we don’t tend to get those. Looking forward to getting the roadmap in DWM, which should give an indication of the chronological order.
I’d heard about A Dalek Awakens, and received emails about it from Escape Hunt, but there wasn’t any indication that this was part of Time Lord Victorious. In fact, with it requiring printed materials, I thought it was something they’d created specially for COVID!

The website also has specific details on the stories to be found with the figurine collection and in the Annual. The figurine collection seems to be about the Daleks plotting and the Annual story is a guide to the Dark Times by River Song.

Does anyone that collect the figurine collection know if these normally include short stories or are they just unique to these Time Lord Victorious releases? It does make them that little bit less peripheral. Extra River is always good too, even if it’s just a diary entry from her or whatever.

Apparently there’s still more to come?!

I think this might imply a collected release of Monstrous Beauty will be out sooner rather than later, as this is presumably the cover for it.

In fact, with it requiring printed materials, I thought it was something they’d created specially for COVID! I’m mistaken about A Dalek Awakens. I was thinking about The Hollow Planet, which is an upcoming prequel to A Dalek Awakens, but doesn’t seem to relate to Time Lord Victorious. A Dangerous Dalek wasn’t really mentioned as being part of Time Lord Victorious by Escape Hunt. It was available to review back in March for the press and booking for it was opened. Of course, this was pre-lockdown. I can’t find any mention of it on their site now, so I’m not sure what’s happening with it? It certainly doesn’t seem to be “Available Now” as the timeline states. EDIT: Found it on the website - escapehunt.com/uk/doctorwho/ Available to book for Reading & Birmingham and due in Norwich & Basingstoke. The Escape Hunt has always been more obscure due to the fact it’s UK based and I thought the fact they were looking into doing it remotely would increase the chances of this being more accessible, but it seems like they’re making it even harder to participate in the UK!

In the comments Scott Gray says that will be the cover of the TLV supplementary magazine with September’s DWM, though I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the cover of the eventual collection.
