I like the new look he looks more like a real dog now with those ears.

 

[Samurai8472]

now he looks like RUSH from the Megaman games

 

[Chris3123]

Oh, so this is going to be live action? For some reason I was under the impression that it was going to be animated.

 

[Demonland]

Wow! Not sure I like the ears. I wonder what mitty will make of this little doggie.

Early reports suggested it would be all animation, but apparently it's actually a mix of live action and computer animation.

 

[WillsBabe]

I want the non-threatening K9 of my youth back! Looks like it should be curled up at the feet of a cyberman. Bad dog.

 

[Orac Zen]

Further proof that "new and improved" isn't necessarily either. Geez. Ugly.

 

[Starkers]

Wonder if he'll have a new catchphrase like the Cybermen?

 

[Cutter John]

Meh. I'll take the original.

Robot doberman anyone?

In an ever changing world it's nice to see that Doctor Who fans reactions to anything new or different always remain the same.

If Matt Smith is really getting a new TARDIS I can't wait until the first photo of it appears on-line!

yeah becasue that is limited to Doctor Who fans

I dont care for this K9 series, im going to pretend it doesn't exist

Oh yes. The original design was so beautiful.

 

[StCoop]

The original design was so beautiful.

Is this some use of the word "beautiful" that I'm not familiar with? It's a relic of the 70's that gets a pass in DW/TSJA due to the nostalgia factor.

As the main character in a series being made as much for children who've never heard of him before as those who have it'd be laughed off the screen and rightly so.

 

[The]

^I think he italicized the word "so", as in suggesting sarcasm...

 

[jamestyler]

He looks like he belongs on a scary Japanese cartoon... and a little like a toy my sister had when she was younger.

'bout time he got some upgrades - hopefully he'll move faster that .2 mph

yes K9 really isnt a good design, but even I as a new series fan who would pimp out K9 like the House Robots on Robot Wars, wouldnt want it changed, its too recongiseable

There will always be people who prefer the way things were. In my case I prefer the old K9, but I really like the new Cybermen. Horses for courses.

 

[Stevil2001]

For me, the deciding factor for this show will be John Leeson. If he's not doing the voice (and I doubt he will be, though who knows), I won't be bothering. It's as much his performance as anything else that makes K-9 work.

 

[Worf2DS9]

I think he looks pretty cool, despite the too-tall ears. But I must have missed something -- is this for a new K-9 series or something?

 

[Brendan Moody]

^Yeah, this is for the new K9 series that has been in development for a couple years now.
