I have a friend with a birthday coming up, and she loves Doctor Who. I thought "how nice would it be to decorate for her birthday?"
And so I need a lifesize cutout of David Tennant - purely for altruistic reasons, of course. Any ideas?

I'd reccommend a cake with a photo printing. Those things are pretty creepy. I mean, on the one hand you're cutting him up. On the other hand, you get to lick him off your fingers.

I found several cutouts, but I don't like the picture and they'd all be close to $100 because of the shipping and the exchange rate.

If you have access to a large color printer, you could make your own. Print out the photo you like and glue it onto cardboard.

They sell those in the supermarket here! For 3 pounds! David Tennant as the Doctor, stepping out of the TARDIS. You can also get "make your own Dalek cookies" kits. It's hilarious and I just need an excuse to buy said cake.

I'm very hopeful that the Valentines day present my husband is getting me is Dr. Who DVD's.
But maybe he's getting me a CB radio. Dang, that was the one thing he wanted for Christmas and I forgot again, and bought him a watch (since his broke).

It's a lot of cake for one person. Maybe I'll get one to celebrate when the new season starts airing.

Or maybe when I visit. Is it too much cake for two people? And I think someone else from hatrack will be there too.

I wish I could help, but someone said something about licking David Tennant and I lost my train of thought...
Oh, yeah! Have you tried whatever your local equivalent of the geeky geegaw store? (The closest thing I can think of around here is The Junkman's Daughter's Brother.) Maybe one of them has a cut-out for a display of DVDs or something. If he's a little bent they might sell him to you at a discount. Or who knows, blink those big ol' eyes a few times and they might just let you have him.

I never said it was TOO much. I just said it's a lot. I'm sure if I wanted to gain 15 pounds I could happily eat cake for three days in a row, but I'm trying to show some self-restraint. My memory (not always reliable) is saying the cake is roughly the size of a standard piece of paper, and 2 inches thick.

You would not believe the Doctow Who kitsch here. Today in Marks and Spencer I found talking Dalek and talking TARDIS easter eggs. You know, the big ones that are hollow in the middle? Only these ones bellow EXTERMINATE! at you before you eat them.
Truly, these Britons are crazy.

Doctor Who is a more of a children's program there, right? They'd probably have more cool stuff here in the US if more kids watched it. I'm thinking the viewers on this side of the pond are mostly adults. I could be wrong.

That is... surprisingly cool. The more I think about a talking Dalek easter egg, the more I love the idea. Posts: 3932 | Registered: Sep 1999

Dang, I thought I was cool with my Talking Dalek Bottle Opener that arrived in the mail the other day.

So what you folks are saying is I need to actually buy this stuff so I can post photos, right? Then it counts as service to humanity, right?

Hey, anyone comes to visit, I'll make sure there's lots of sugary David Tennant to go around. I imagine Dalek easter eggs are seasonal, though, so you'd better be quick about it. Chop chop!

There is absolutely nothing about Tom Baker that makes me think a lifesize replica needs to exist.

I just googled Doctor Who on M&S's website, looking for a picture of those Dalek birthday cakes.
I found underwear instead. Unfortunately, it's only for little boys... I think they may be missing their market there.

Well I'm glad that I wasn't the only one who like him as The Doctor. However, all the yearning for him is starting to make me question my sexuality, so...

Narnia got me one of those for Christmas. *beams* It's the pen on my desk at home, and I pulled it out for a birthday party a few weeks ago.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. One of the birthday girls was in a car accident that morning and almost didn't come, but everyone came and we had cake and yummy lasagna and salad with pears in it. I invited my neighbor and she went home and watched the entire first season on the Netflix site in the next 24 hours, which she was a little bit embarrassed about later.
It tentatively looks like I'll be able to go to London in August to see David Tennant at the Globe... not for certain yet, and I haven't bought a plane ticket and let's hope my car doesn't die, but I think I'll be able to. Yay! EL, we have to hook up and you can introduce me to David Tennant dipped in sugar.

I don't...the 23rd, I think? Kama knows. THere is also a possibility I might go to two, but that depends on if a different friend can go who wants to come a week earlier.
