Well my first review will be on the Tenth Doctor in brown suit and trenchcoat figure. I shall review it using five different sections.

But before that I'm going to give you some background info on the Tenth Doctor.

Character Info:
The Tenth Incarnation of the Doctor first burst onto our screens in 2005. Played by David Tennant this Doctor had three main companions and a gang of one offs. He fought Daleks,Davros,Time Lords,Cybermen,The Sontarans and the Master. A feat only previously completed by The Fourth and Sixth Doctors. He had a habit of saying Allonsy and had his heartbroken on many occasions. He finally ended his life in an epic battle between himself, The master and The Time Lords.

Now to go onto the actual figure...

Likeness:
The likeness of this figure is almost uncanny. The converses are the correct shade of cream that is seen in the show. The correct shade of brown on the suit has been mastered with the thin blue pinstripes also running down it. The tie that is featured on the character is also correct and has featured in a few episodes throughout the Tenth Doctor's era. The actual coat is also very well done, with it going down to the exact length featured in the show. The facial sculpt is also very well conquered, looking exactly like David Tennant right down to the hair sculpt being accurate. Overall the likeness is one of the best of any figure released by CO.

Likeness:10/10-Exactly the same as the Doctor

Articulation:
This figure only has six points of articulation on the elbow,waist-leg,torso,head,shoulder and knees . This is a shame as because of this you can't twist the arm meaning it is hard to make the figure look animated. Also it lacks thigh swivel so it cant turn its leg. It also has very poor head articulation which means it is hard to turn. Another issue with the articulation is the hands not moving very well, this means you can't have the screwdriver held in different poses. This leads to a very poorly articulated figure.

Articulation:3/10-Almost as static as the wire.

Accesories:
The original release of this figure came with The Tenth Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver. This has a very nice likeness and also as a Sonic Screwdriver it is great fun to point at your Dalek figure and 'Put it in self-Destruct mode'. The only problem I do have regarding the Sonic Screwdriver is that it is prone to falling out of the Doctor's hand. This can be very irratating as because it is so small it is also very easy to lose. Therefore it loses a point.

Accesories:8/10-Could of came with another accesory and plus screwdriver is prone to dropping.

Play Ability:
This figure is a Doctor figure meaning that without me elaborating it already has high play ability. Due to its great likeness it is obvious who you are playing with aswell. Another great thing about the figure is that it has very good standing ability meaning it won't fall over after an accidental knock. The only problems with playing is that it is fairly static and also the accessory drops very often.

Play Ability:9/10-Drops points for articulation

Overall Rating:
Likeness-10
Articulation-3
Accesories-8
Play Abiltiy-9

Overall Rating=30/40-Certainly worth buying. Please do so.
