Wow, this is amazing. Easily one of my favourite doctor who items. It currently stands tall on top of my shelf, looking brilliant. And I am very happy to have it and definitely get more. I am hoping to get the 4th doctor bust next if I can. Let's start with the bad points: First of all and this isn't really anything the makers can help but it doesn't really do anything apart from sitting on your shelf and gathering dust (and possibly value). So therefore it isn't very good for younger whovians as it could end up broken as it is kind of fragile which brings us onto my next point; it isn't very strong especially around the arms and sonic screwdriver as if you hold them by these areas it is more than likely to break. Finally the packaging like with quite a lot of things is just awful. It takes a good 10 minutes to get out of it and even then you still have to get it out of those evil plastic holder things that go around it's head which no doubt could have caused a few of these wonderful things to break, even I, being ever so careful had to hold it by it's arm when getting it out and as I have said the arm is very fragile and you wouldn't want it to break, but because of the way it's packaged it's literally asking to be broken. But luckily mine didn't suffer any loss of limbs. Now onto the good points: the detail is absolutely amazing and looks so brilliant standing on my shelf. It has a surprisingly good likeliness which can sometimes be a problem with some figures and things like it. It definitely looks like Matt Smith and his awesome costume! (although to be honest I would love one in Matt's 2013 costume) The sonic is well detailed with no paint splodges or anything like that. I especially love the textures and things because although it's quite smooth (especially the face) you can still kind of see the material even though it's made out of a rock or something (I think it's made out of the same stuff as the doctor who figurine collection figures.) Finally the stand is nice and simple and doesn't take anything away from the actual bust as you can see in the picture. Also how tall it is also adds to the good effect it has and isn't too tall so that it doesn't fit on your shelf. Rating: 9/10
