I will say I feel a lack of enthusiasm building over here over the new doctor. (I think it's because he's old).

Tennant was the beginning of it becoming mainstream, but Smith was what made it huge imo. I see the 3.75" DW stuff all over Gamestop and Barnes and Noble. The only
3.75" DW I've seen in TRU for the past few months was this alien thing I forgot the name of that's on clearance for $5.

And yes, the lack of enthusiasm of the new Doctor has gone through the roof. A huge portion of the DW fanbase were the people who were obsessed with Smith and Tennant. The only people who stayed for the ride after Smith were the true DW fans. I think it's because so many people are used to a young Doctor and all that stuff.
