8807 CMF Series 7 Doctor Who

Not only have I been practicing my Purist Minifigure making, but also my editing/graphic design  
And I decided to this with a typically British theme; Doctor Who!
(Sorry if you clicked onto the page thinking that it was a real Lego product   )

Product Details:

Item: 8807
Price: UK 2.49 US 2.99 EU 2.99
Pieces: TBC
Figures: 16

Here is the packaging:



Believe it or not, that was created ENTIRELY with Microsoft Office. Not some fancy Photoshop Product!

Set List (from left to right, top row first):

- Vashta Nerada
- Judoon
- The Master
- Cyberman
- Dalek
- 10th Doctor
- Jack Harkness
- Davros

Pictures of the first 8 figures will hopefully be posted tomorrow...

Constructive Criticism welcome!

Very clever art work 'George G.', you also could have posted this in the sci-fi area too !
I wait till later for collection to appear.....but no K-9 ?
Keep on time travelling !

I will also post it in the Sci-fi forum for all to see  

And expect K9 in the second lot of 8....

Thanks! I see by your Dalek picture that you're quite the fan

I like the digital graphics work that you did there - very clean and looks professionally-made even if you did not use Photoshop, really well done! This idea of a Licensed Collectible Minifigure Series is probably something TLG can explore in the future? I'm looking forward then seeing your DW custom figs.

Impressive!  Although arguably Sci-Fi, the TV and CMF links mean it fits here too.  I'm looking forward to seeing the figs!

Which MS Office program(s) did you use?  That's quite a feat in itself

I use Microsoft PowerPoint (that's right, I said Powerpoint  ).
I use it because:
- The working panel is the same size as a regular photo.
- The multiple slides act as different working spaces.
- It includes a 'remove background' function.
- It includes many effects including 'glowing edges', 'soft edges' and 3D effects.
- And some more things that I cant quite remember.

Here's a screen shot:

Well done, it looks very clean and official.
As a purist myself, I really like the way that you've made them.
I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of the individual figures.
