What's New for Doctor Who Toys

I guess this is just how it’s going to be from now on. Still want the companions though and yes, I know I’ve said negative things about Ryan & Yaz, but that’s the completionist in me.

I like it a lot, but still not sure why they used the mould of the classic box they’ve been customising lately, when my suspicion is that it should be the size of the 9th/10th, 11th and 12th boxes. I don’t need a new mould, I completely understand the necessity to retool as easily as possible, so have no problem with just sprucing up the existing mould- but from the outside it feels as easy to customise a new series mould as a classic series one? I might be completely wrong about the scale, but my impression is, in real life, 13’s TARDIS is the same scale as the last (new/modern) boxes. If that’s so, my only complaint is that they didn’t customise the mould of, say, 12’s instead of customising the mould of the classic boxes. (I actually hope I’m wrong and 13’s box in real life has reverted to a smaller scale, though, which makes this box as accurate as I’d be happy with.) Anyway, still looks very, very nice, just appears too small next to the others. Abbott says this emotional role toys often play is something she sees all the time during her work. The TARDIS also allows the Doctor and others to communicate with people who speak languages other than their own, as well as turn all written languages to English. The "translation circuit" (occasionally called the "translation matrix") was first explored in "The Masque of Mandragora" (1976), as the Doctor explained to his companion, Sarah Jane, "Well, I've taken you to some strange places before and you've never asked how you understood the local language. It's a Time Lord's gift I allow you to share. But tonight when you asked me how you understood Italian, I realized your mind had been taken over." The translation circuit has also been explored in comparison with real-world machine translation, with researchers Mark Halley and Lynne Bowker concluding that "when it comes to the science of translation technology, Doctor Who gets it wrong more often than it gets it right. However, perhaps we can forgive the artistic license if we recognize that, as in other science fiction works, the presentation of some type of ubiquitous translation tool is necessary to explain to the audience how people from other countries, time periods, and even other worlds, can understand each other and indeed appear to speak (mostly) flawless English." [15]TARDIS is an acronym of "Time And Relative Dimension in Space". The word "Dimension" is alternatively rendered in the plural. [nb 1] The acronym was explained in the first episode of the show, An Unearthly Child (1963), in which the Doctor's granddaughter Susan claims to have made it up herself. [6] Despite this, the term is used commonly by other Time Lords to refer to both the Doctor's and their own time ships. Please note Tardis does not contain a card interior, other pictures circulating of this item have a custom interior to demonstrate you can print out and fit one yourself if required.

I get a lot of people on the phone who cry for various reasons, sometimes just in relief to know their toy can be fixed – sometimes they don’t understand what can be done,” she says. “People will think the worst and say, ‘My dolly is in pieces and I don’t think it can ever be fixed’ and it just needs restringing, which is one of the easiest things you can do repair-wise."

In the fictional universe of the Doctor Who television show, TARDISes are space and time-travel vehicles of the Time Lords, beings from the planet Gallifrey. Although many TARDISes exist and are sometimes seen on-screen, the television show mainly features a single TARDIS used by the show's protagonist, a Time Lord who goes by the name of the Doctor. [9] As fans know, in the first ever episode of the TV show we encounter the TARDIS and its owner and pilot, an alien traveller known only as The Doctor. It’s the start of a great number of adventures over many years. Speaking of this wave of releases Al Dewar, Creative Director at Character Options, said: “This range has some real gems in it, including some not so easy to spot ones. The three figure sets are very cool and there’s at least one standout figure in each set, including a new Ninth Doctor with new components and an updated Rose V1. We also have a brand-new Angel variant as well as a physically new version of Yaz. Collectors will delight in looking for both variants of the Angel figure.From the 1983 episode, The Five Doctors, this set includes a detailed figure of the (Richard Hurndall) First Doctor together with the Gallifrey Death Zone Dalek… 135 16 Aug 2023 SDCC 2023 Titan 3″ 14th Doctor Lastly to go hand in hand with the Dalek sets is a great special release featuring Davros and a very special Dalek … all I can say is fans will not want to miss out on that one!” The final Set is The Sixth doctor and TARDIS set featuring a very different version of The Sixth Doctors costume based on one used in a Stage Play of the time. It’s a lovely figure which coupled with a delightfully shabby TARDIS which perfectly reflects the state of the prop at the time, creates a nice standout set. Muir, John Kenneth (15 September 2015).

An obsolete and decommissioned model, it was ‘borrowed’ by the First Doctor when he left his home planet and has transported all of the incarnations of The Doctor to many different time periods and a variety of exotic alien worlds.
