Both are part of The Flesh series and include Flesh Masks that cover the faces of the contained figures. The figures measure between 5 and 6 inches, are highly-articulated (including swivel waist movements), tightly sculpted and look identical to their life-size counterparts. Paint application is crisp with no rough edges or slop-over with special attention given to the face sculpts.
The package design allows the figures to be hung or displayed on shelves. The figures and accessories are easily seen while the surrounding graphics enhance the figures instead of detracting from them. All six characters from the series are shown on the back of each package and a special Flesh package comes in each bubble pack so you can experience the feel of the Flesh.
The Eleventh Doctor figure is a dead-ringer for actor Matt Smith with his deep brown hair combed over his right eye. His piercing blue eyes, while lively, betray his true age as does his somewhat dowdy attire consisting of black trousers, a sky blue shirt with cobalt blue bowtie, brown jacket and black shoes-all of which give him a rumpled professor look. Included with the figure is a miniature Sonic Screwdriver that fits snuggly into either of the figure’s hands.
The Astronaut consists of a solid white NASA space suit with gold faceplate that slides back to reveal the face of the young River Song. The suit itself is bulky with multiple hoses, chest unit, large backpack, green finger tipped gloves, heavy olive green accented boots and various space agency patches. Doctor Who fans will recognize The Astronaut from the episode The Impossible Astronaut, the same Astronaut that kills the Doctor!
Underground Toys/Character options Ltd. continue to turn out fantastic Doctor Who figures and merchandise and with the rising popularity of the Doctor Who TV show (especially here in the United States) the Doctor Who figures practically fly off the shelves.
