Come on Merchandising People, You can do better than this

Alex Kingston is a beautiful woman, but you would never know it from the new River Song action figure.   That is so not even close to her hair color.  At least previous dolls have looked like their actors.  The packaging makes me feel like I have a vaguely dirty mind though as it states that it comes with moveable clamps and restraints and the chair fits the standard Eleventh Doctor figure.  Gee, River, just what are you planning there?  I still want a Rory doll.  (And a Tosh doll).

There is so much HUH? going on with this set... o_O (And darn it, I've been waiting for a River figure for forrrrevvvvver. This wasn't what I had in mind. :( )

Indeed! She looks quite disagreeable and not at all like herself!

Wow. That doll really doesn't do Alex Kingston justice. She looks like a woman with a really badly done '80s style perm. And I don't blame you for taking those sentences the wrong way -- they really could have phrased that a lot less...pervy-esque.

And I second the vote for a Rory doll! I would make him have adventures with my Ten and Rose dolls. :)

eewww, that is just ugly, although you aren't the only one with the dirty mind, because now you've got me thinking it too, loll

Agreed. I've been wanting a River figure for AGES but this? OMG WTH is up with the hair? it's dreadful. Please tell me they're going to come out with something decent? If the hair was right the rest would be fine. *sigh*

She reminds me of those aliens in Classic Star Trek with the orange faces and white hair and eyebrows. What were they called? Either that, or a tall blonde (huh?) Oompa Loompa from the original Willy Wonka.

Ugh. I've been waiting for a River figure other than the SitL/FotD one, and this... wasn't worth the wait.

Also, if we get River and this chair, why did we not also get EoT Master and Doctor with the bondage chair? *sulks*
