Doctor Who Action Figure Review: The Fourth Doctor and TARDIS Set

In the last of my reviews on the latest Forbidden Planet/Underground Toys exclusives, I look at the second of the classic TARDISes and the re-release of the fourth Doctor as seen in wave one back in 2008, despite being advertised as from 'The Planet of Evil'.

NEXT TIME: The Cybermen from 'Silver Nemesis'

I thought this was based on the newbery prop? am i wrong, I think you said it was the later Peter Brackaki box?.

Thanks

[batmanmarch]

@InTheBoxReviews Yes, this prop is based on the Peter Brackaki prop in its last years with Tom Baker. However, the toy does resemble the Newberry prop due to the squat look, however the decals are based on Brackaki.

Could you use this as a William Hartnell aswell as Patrick, Jon and Tom?

Is that your cat in your review? He's so cute. The two Tardises you got they look different to each other. I played each game called spot the difference.

Thanks For this great review buddy, Good to see all those Tardis together for comparison!

I've already customised a White Window Hartnell TARDIS, so that the windows are dark blue, like so many of his stories.

Would love a really "Battered paintwork" Second Doctor Police Box, like the one that lands in "The Krotons" (see the VHS)!!

Oh, and would love some B/W Police Box props for Hartnell and Troughton, because they also look great!

And Tom Baker era could give us a "Masque of Mandragora" style box, and a "Logopolis" style dark one! I mean, why not, CO - we'd buy 'em!

[MrSontaran3]

A Tom Baker stacked-roof TARDIS, with a re-released "Pyramids of Mars" 4th Doctor, would make a great new 4th Doctor Set!

A light blue/dark signs TARDIS, for the 3rd Doctor, could come with Jon Pertwee in a red jacket, just as he was in "The Three Doctors".

Another much-desired item, for me, would be a tweak of the Hartnell Police Box TARDIS, this time with the very dark blue colour scheme, added to the Window Frames as well, and around the door sign. As in so many 60's TV stories. :-D

[MrSontaran3]

Would love to see the McCoy Police Box re-released, as a variant: with stacked roof, but with Tom Baker Box colours and signs! Just because I prefer my TARDISes to have Angled and/or Stacked Rooves!

Another easy variant for CO would be, the same McCoy Box, complete with the same light blue colours, but with the darker signage (white lettering, black background), as a "The Three Doctors" - type TARDIS! Again, just because I think it looks cool!
