Talk:Doctor Who merchandise

message: According to the principle of be bold, I have started this article from material cluttering up Doctor Who spin-offs. Any organisational ideas for this page most welcome! Tim! (talk) 09:24, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: I tossed an Expand tag into the Action Figures section. I think it's a great idea, but there needs to be discussion about the Dapol releases and earlier Doctor Who action figures. I'd do it myself but I know very little about them. 23skidoo 23:02, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

message: This article should have more information about general Doctor Who toys, including the Cyberman voice-changer helmet, which has been named Toy of the Year by the Toy Retailers Association.  If anyone has a copy of Howe's Transcendental Toybox, I'm sure it has useful information that could be cited in this article.
There's also some redundancy in the "Product Enterprise" and "Character Options" sections, but I don't really know enough about this aspect of merchandising to reorganize the sections. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 22:02, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  More on toys 

message: I'm thinking that the prices in this article are in U.S. dollars.  (Seemed a bit strange to me, since I suspect most of these items were made and marketed in the U.K., but whatever.)  If this is US$, perhaps that should be made clear (Australia and Canada use the same symbol for their currency).  In addition, I'm wondering if the monetary estimates should be dated, since the value of currency changes over time.  Accounting4Taste 17:45, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I notice the Make Your Own Adventure books are here (under "gamebooks"), but the Decide Your Destiny books are under New Series Adventures. I think it would make more sense to have them here as well. Daibhid C (talk) 14:52, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Those sections need to be heavily rewritten to remove WP:FANCRUFT if the article is going to include them; adding sources would also help. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 15:48, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree but I would also say that section blanking is not helpful. Feel free to add the appropriate tags and/or prune the fancruft. MarnetteD|Talk 19:21, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
