    It’s awesome, but…no Daleks?

    • http://www.facebook.com/TimeNinja Richard Colletta

      I know right?  Daleks should have been pawns, or Rook/Bishop/Knight at the least.

      I wonder what the BBC’s take is on unlicensed Doctor Who products though?

      • Emmi Geeky Arts

        The Daleks didn’t feature that prominently in series 5 and 6, and the ones that did had ridiculous colours so I decided to pick some of the new(er) villains :) Besides, I made 8 Daleks in the tenth Doctor’s chess set I made last year so I was up for something different haha. (I made this set)

          I apologize for my earlier comment, especially since the weeping angels alone are fantastic. Do you do one for each series?

          • Emmi Geeky Arts

            Well, I have only done a 9 and 10 set so far, but perhaps I’ll continue the trend. :)

  • Jeff Spencer

    Blimey, she’s from my hometown! What are the chances of that?!

    Gorgeous set, I must say.

    Lovely!
    But the Tardis should be the Queen.

      and K-9 should be a knight.

      but of course, everyone would have their opinion as to what should go where- i dont mean to be an A-hole to the lovely who made this cool cool chess set. (chess sets are cool!)

    repeat!

  • Autonymous Media Daemon

    What?! River Song as Queen, not King? All the pieces should be River Song, anything less insults The River Song Adventures: The Adventures of River Song.

  • MirWish

    Who is the king and the queen for the enemy side?

    • MirWish

       never mind i figured it out.
