"Planets come and go. Stars perish. Matter disperses, coalesces, forms into other patterns, other worlds. Nothing can be eternal."

Outfit
The Sixth Doctor has yellow pants with black stripes, a white shirt, blue ribbon tie and a crazy rainbow coat.

Six's outfit is a combination of talks with fans/cosplayers, dolls done by other people and watching The Two Doctors in slow motion, stopping every few seconds and scribbling out what the coat looked like. At the time The Two Doctors was the only episode I had of Six, so his coat was mostly drawn from the episode and then simplified somewhat. I'm a poor college student, so most of the yarn is scavenged from my mom's bag o' yarn.

Actor
The Sixth Doctor was portrayed by Colin Baker.

Other Notes
When I showed my mom my plans for the Doctor Dolls, she thought I was joking when she saw the plan for Six. I had to pull out my copy of The Two Doctors to prove to my mom and sisters that yes, that is how the sixth Doctor dresses.

As with all my dolls I finished Six's pants first, doing a base of yellow and sewing on the black stripes. Then I made his undershirt, sewing on the red details with thread left over from Seven. Then it was time for the coat... the coat of DOOOM!

I flipped the Doctor over and made a paper mock up of his coat. With this I could just crochet to the paper, instead of constantly trying to imagine it all fitting together. I started with the blue and worked outward, adding on each color and crocheting it all into a solid piece. It fits him a little odd because of how the sleeves attach on, but I'm happy with how it turned out.

I actually had a lot of fun making Six, even though he also has the coat of DOOM.

New picture! I was bored the other day and just started taking pictures of my dolls.

Adorable. Was the coat hard to do?

Not as hard as I thought it would be. The back was the only real "hard" part. All I did was make a "full size" mockup on paper of the location of the colors and then follow the paper. The only annoying part was that I accidentally made the front of the coat too short (compared to the back) and had to add on.

You probably had an easier time than the people in the costume department for the show.

The Two Doctors FTW!!! Love that one. (and my novelization is signed by Mr. Baker himself!)

I only have one little nag--waistcoat? It is missing...

You have made me very happy. I have no skills in this area whatsoever XD

I'm planing on making these to sell... but for my own personal doll I just cared that he had his crazy coat. Also I thought he had "too much going on" for a waistcoat.

When I make them to sell they'll be more personalized ( = you say that you want ep whatever version of the doctor and I make it) but for my own personal collection I just decided to simplify the Sixth Doctor a little bit.
