5.5″ B&M 2019 4th Doctor & TARDIS Set
Product code 337412
Please contact www.bmstores.co.uk if you require more information. Click Here to find your nearest B&M store. Please check stock levels before traveling.
This Interim set Regenerated 4th Doctor in 3rd doctors outfit with the 4th Doctor head from the ‘time capsule’ set but with new revised decoration.
Exclusive to B&M this second Tardis set features the Regenerated 4th Doctor from Robot and a 4th Doctor’s Tardis.
This comes in the new “Classic” style guide packaging now used on most new pre-13th Doctor items.
There is a printed background card in the box of the Unit lab with a bookcase and wall with various 3rd / 4th doctor related items pinned to a board, The floor is even a different colour where the Tardis stands.
The regeneration figure was previously only available (in the UK) in the 50th anniversary time capsule set but this is a slight variant with updated decoration including whitish lining around the lapels.
The Tardis has a different shade of Blue, updated door panel and a white background on the signage above the doors. The doors open as per previous versions.
Looking at our Tardis Landings Page the white background appears in several outdoor shots including Terror of the Zygons and the Andriod invasion (which also looks closest with the lamp).
The original and now highly sought after 4th Doctors Tardis is on the left and new variant on the right. Some “weathering” has been applied to the signage, lamp top and windows to make it more screen accurate! Figure aside, The Tardis is sufficiently different to make this another must have set.

February 7th, 2019 - 2:49amI’m a stickler for accuracy, and have always considered the 5 inch figures as models. The recent 3rd TARDIS and coming 4th TARDIS are missing key accuracy points. So I will buy multiples and adjust accordingly. I have done measurements and printed out 3D bases for them, as the correct bases are a lot thinner than is being produced. I aim to turn the 4th Box into a White lamped Newbery as it was in Mandragora – Creature and a Police Siren lamped Newbery with a black base as it was in Eden-Shada. The correct 3rd Doctor/Early 4th is a different thing entirely and may need to be created from scratch.

February 7th, 2019 - 2:43amHot after my Combat Tegan suggestion I bring you all my next idea…………………….
A 5 Doctors pack. All five Doctor’s as they appeared in The Five doctor’s. A Hurndall 1st, a coated 2nd, a Tartan caped 3rd, a Waxwork 4th, a longer haired 5th.
I’d even like a Five Doctor’s companion pack. Sarah, Turlough, Tegan, Brigadier, Susan. THIS WOULD BE AMAZING!!!!!!!

February 6th, 2019 - 4:01pmDo we have a store date? Because it’s good to know they’ll be in the main warehouse on the 18th, but when can we expect them in shops?
booboo
February 6th, 2019 - 4:32pmits takes a while because they go to regional distribution centers then to stores on certain days and then the stock has to get to the shelves
rest assured there are bound to be loads of comments as to where they have been seen stock get around
Anonymous
February 6th, 2019 - 8:51pmI’ll have to rely on ebay again. Trying to get them from B&M is too much hassle!
Skonnos
February 5th, 2019 - 7:12pmI’m guessing the reason more restocks of the 3 Packs are showing up in stores is because they are clearing the decks at the warehouse in preparation for the new stock arriving? I wonder if the same stores that got the 3rd Dr TARDIS will get the 4th Dr TARDIS. It follows perhaps that any stores that didn’t get stock last year might be the same ones that miss out again
booboo
February 5th, 2019 - 7:30pmthere is nearly double the stock this time though so gut feeling is the distribution maybe much better, store managers permitting if we believe whats said.

February 5th, 2019 - 4:38pmHave any official images been released yet?
booboo
February 5th, 2019 - 4:55pmno they would be on here if they had
Anonymous
February 4th, 2019 - 8:11pmBeing realistic for past series, these are some figures which are potentially achievable for character:
Repaints:
Amy- using VOTD sculpt and doing a THE/CB costume variant
12th Doctor- paint on the waistcoat- character are never gonna make a new sculpt…
Earthshock / Attack of the Cybermen Cyberleader
New Head Sculpt:
Tegan- use Martha LOTTL sculpt and paint green for body, with new head (thanks to whoever came up with this in the first place, I really wish they’d do this)
Clara- either repaint the purple dress with the checked TNOTD dress (could get away with this, even if inaccurate) OR do an inaccurate UTL/BTF variant with a new series 9 head sculpt where the grey dress is printed on and the sleeves are yellow.
Completely new figure:
2013 Cyberman- more likely people will buy in more than one for army building, and they are iconic villains, baffles me as to why character dont invest in doing one.

February 6th, 2019 - 12:36pmIs there only a small amount like the 3rd dr set or is there more?

February 6th, 2019 - 1:11pmWould absolutely love these sets!
Maybe a 12th Doctor from smile would be good.
Ian
February 4th, 2019 - 7:54amStill scheduled for 18th February and will there be available in more stores rather than the large ones?
Who Knows
February 4th, 2019 - 9:54amThe 3rd Doctor + Tardis sets were intended for the “Home” B&M stores however they were soon after put out in the “Bargain” Stores – you should be fine.
The Werewolf
February 4th, 2019 - 11:32amAssuming it actually reaches all stores unlike the much better Third Doctor and TARDIS set which never materialised in many places.
Ian
February 4th, 2019 - 2:51pmI never seen it in my local store, got a friend to pick me up one in a store near him which was a home store.
I hope we can just go and get them without ringing around every store in the area!

February 2nd, 2019 - 7:39pmwe are only going by what a very reliable member of staff said was showing on the computer system which has always been right in the past
can you link to where this has come from so we can confirm and update
PatChampYoutuber
February 2nd, 2019 - 11:34pmi went into the Hull, Hessle Road store one week ago and they had a full restock of the Triple Figure packs but they where not tweaked or repainted versions
mick
February 3rd, 2019 - 10:17amStill showing 8th April on the computer for them to arrive at Central warehouse
Anonymous
February 3rd, 2019 - 2:01pmMick. Is there a possible chance they have already arrived?
booboo
February 3rd, 2019 - 2:12pmJust spoke to East Kilbride myself to be sure they have no Doctor Who sets on the shelves
Ryan Croughan
February 3rd, 2019 - 2:26pmJust went to check my two local B and M Home stores in Preston based on the above comment before it was deleted – definetly no stock of either original or repaints yet.
Brian Rose
February 4th, 2019 - 2:38pmDisappointed that my comment has been deleted.
I was in the East Kilbride store in the Queensway Retail Park myself on Saturday and they definitely had the triple pack figures in stock.
I can’t believe that they’ve sold them all in the space of 24 hours so something’s not right if you phoned up and they said they had no stock.
booboo
February 4th, 2019 - 3:22pmProblem is People make special journeys based on comments.
There is no point in us leaving a comment saying there is loads of stock of the new tweaked packs in East Kilbride when B&M have told me (and others) there isn’t any.
There are still many old sets floating around
There is also no stock of the tweaked 3 packs showing on the computer system either and they are still showing as 8th April.
We can only go by what we are told by B&M. No one has actually seen the tweaked packs yet so pictures if any are found in future would be useful.
If stock had arrived we would be flooded with comments by now anyway to be honest.
booboo
February 4th, 2019 - 3:49pmJust phoned them again and persevered, they have some stock on the shelves but they are NOT the tweaked packs, Clara still has a belt and in the tweaked packs she doesn’t, phoned HQ the tweaked packs have NOT arrived as mick said.
So our article is correct.
Gek2Win
January 31st, 2019 - 3:23pmRandom question: is the interior floor black like the rest? I’m not sure why I’m asking, but now I’ve thought it I need an answer. Also, is the lamp grey or white? Just a couple of random questions.
booboo
January 31st, 2019 - 3:32pmfloor is black, if you mean the lamp top its grey

January 28th, 2019 - 10:51amHoping the other figure sets will be a 2nd Dr in fur coat, Cyberman and Jamie!!
Tyler Prescott
January 28th, 2019 - 5:13pmJamie’s unlikely, as they’d have to make it more-or-less from scratch. If they can use the existing mould for Fur Coat 2, maybe they can make him. A Cyberman would be easy, though. Personally, I’d prefer an Ice Warrior.
Anonymous
January 28th, 2019 - 6:22pmAlso, just had a great idea of two classic 3-Packs:
– The Seventh Doctor (from Remembrance of the Daleks, with umbrella and hat)
– Mel (From Time and the Rani – we’ve never had a 5.5″ Mel before!)
– The Master (From Survival – the Ainley Master is as rare as can be!)
– The Fifth Doctor (From The Visitation, with sonic screwdriver)
– Nyssa (From Snakedance)
– The Black Guardian (From Mawdryn Undead)
I know that these’ll never happen, but it’s good enough to hope…
Anon
January 29th, 2019 - 7:50amThey have already done an ice warrior and several different cybermen. They’ve also done a zygon. Daleks require bigger packaging so I’m not sure they’d do them.
BrunoB
January 30th, 2019 - 1:54pmAs B&M is usually limited to repaints, I strongly doubt we’ll see new figures from them
Alex
January 31st, 2019 - 6:51amI would love that
Acefan2005
February 2nd, 2019 - 12:11pmThis is what I want this year set wise
Seventh doctor set
-Seventh Doctor
-Ace (Dragonfire)
-White & gold Dalek (Remembrance of the daleks)
Big finish set
-Constance Clark (The rani elite)
-Stained glass Dalek (Order of the Daleks)
-Bernice summerfield (Love & War)
Revived series set
-Clara Oswald (Face the Raven)
-Davros (The stolen earth/Journey’s end)
-Rose Tyler (The stolen earth/ Journey’s end)
Booboo what do you think of this?!
booboo
February 2nd, 2019 - 12:41pmthey are all good sets, some would require to much work though
Bigman
February 2nd, 2019 - 1:55pmThe Big Finish sets will never happen as too expensive, already asked many a person involved if they would do sets for the big finish companions or maybe make the 8th dr exclusive to big finish as that is his permanent home but seems a big no!!
Steven Bird
February 2nd, 2019 - 4:18pmWould love to see the 2nd Doctor in Fur Coat, Brigadier (Beret) and either an Invasion Cyberman or a Moonbase Cyberman
Steven Bird
February 2nd, 2019 - 4:34pmThese would be my ideal Summer Sets:
2nd Doctor Set;
– 2nd Doctor in Yeti Skin Coat
– Brigadier in Beret
– Moonbase/Invasion Cyberman
10th Doctor Set:
– 10th Doctor in Tuxeudo
– Rose Tyler series 1 (standing straight) or Series 4 variant
– Elder Ood
Master Set;
– Anthony Ainsley Master (logopolis)
– Roger Delago Master (terror of the autons)
– John Simm Master (World Enough & Time)

The Silent Silent
January 27th, 2019 - 2:29pmHaven’t commented on here for a while now !! but this Doctor / TARDIS set is a must have !!!
Got to go down to my “local” B&M’s and try and get myself 1 or 2.
One question, will this item be released early, mid or late February ????
I only ask because the B&M stores “near” me are not exactly local, so will have to make special journeys.
Anonymous
January 27th, 2019 - 8:41pmI heard it should be out 12th or 13th of February! Hope that helps
Gek2Win
January 27th, 2019 - 11:47amWhat I’m wondering is, if this really is the new ‘classic’ style guide, do CO intended to release more pre- thirteenth doctor products in the near future? Because if they aren’t, I’d be rather surprised, considering they then must have went to the trouble of designing new packaging for B&M sets, of all things.
booboo
January 27th, 2019 - 12:23pmThey probably had to change to it to be honest regardless of future plans
Gek2Win
January 27th, 2019 - 2:26pmFair.
Anonymous
January 27th, 2019 - 8:40pmMakes sense, that this is also same packaging that appears on the pop vinyl of anything before 13, like Missy and the TARDIS. And the 13th Doctor pop vinyl has the same packaging as the 5.5” figure.

January 26th, 2019 - 3:10pmI’m a tad confused: are we getting the repaints of last year’s this summer of Feb? Or are there two 3-pack “waves” this year, one in Feb (the repaints) and Summer )TBC?

Anonymous
January 26th, 2019 - 1:50pmYeah, hope they do more like this.
Nathan
January 26th, 2019 - 3:54pmWrong. The 7th Doctor’s TARDIS exterior is the most accurate, because the lamp on this 4th Doctor TARDIS is totally incorrect.
Anonymous
January 26th, 2019 - 4:53pmWhy? I’d really like to know what makes this the most. Accurate as trying to decide whether or not to buy! ☺️
booboo
January 26th, 2019 - 5:29pmAll the Tardis are a compromise in some way because it was established long that separate tooling for each one was just way to costly and they would never had got made at all, there is a very good video around from the person who designed them.
There are episodes where the Tardis looks very similar to this one.
I’m sure you are never going to get a totally screen accurate Tardis and figure for £20 because additional tooling and alterations would just cost to much.
Anonymous
January 26th, 2019 - 5:41pmAt the very least, this definitely has the most accurate paint job.
Anonymous
January 26th, 2019 - 1:53amBooboo when are the other b and m variants available? Or what do you hope we get in the summer sets ? I’m hoping for a tenth doctor variant in suit from tooth and claw or “42”
booboo
January 26th, 2019 - 8:09amas far as i know still Feb
I think they might look more at sets that have not been done before like 2nd/5h/6th and 7th doctors
Acefan2005
January 26th, 2019 - 1:03pm7th doctor would b nice
Shane Cook
January 27th, 2019 - 1:53amBooboo, which possible combination could a 2nd/5th/6th/7th set have? There are no monsters except for Daleks and Cybermen. Assuming B&M still are not commissioning NEW figures. TARDIS sets for 5/6 are possible, ie: 5th Covered in mud for Androzani, 6th in Red Ascot Trial of A Time Lord.
booboo
January 27th, 2019 - 8:49amthere are a few even with re-releases some figures are quite rare now h
Who Knows
January 27th, 2019 - 9:09amCyber Leader from Earthshock or Attack would be nice.
The Outcast
January 27th, 2019 - 10:54amFor a 7th Doctor set, they could attempt to do a Post-Regen 7 by sticking the solemn head on a repainted 6th Doctor body, Ace could be repainted to have her black striped shirt from Greatest Show in the Galaxy, and they could re-issue the Silver Nemesis Cyberman, as it is quite rare nowadays. Someone else came up with this idea for a set so it isn’t my idea, just one I like.
Someone else suggested doing Androzani 5, Sharak Jek and a Earthshock Cyberleader for a set.
You are right that there isn’t a lot of options for the 60s and 80s in regards to figures. CO really did tend to favour the 70s when it came to figures. IF we ever get more classics, that’s something I’d like to see change.
Gek2Win
January 27th, 2019 - 11:43amIn regard to a second doctor set Shane, I always thought that a second doctor ice warrior was possible, just by making the eye lenses green. I could be totally wrong, but I’m pretty sure that I saw that that was the original colour before they were red in the third doctor era.
Gek2Win
January 27th, 2019 - 2:37pmI’ve got to say though, the reason we haven’t had many of the sixties monster is because they have two avenues to go with them, namely accuracy or realism. If they wen for accuracy, many would look… less than stellar. If they went for realism, in the vein of the sea devils, they would be probably too scared because they’d be worried about getting flak for it being inaccurate. It’s probably too hard of a decision to make, and regardless, there aren’t many memorable or even good designs from the sixties, be that opinion controversial. I think its this second reason we haven’t had much for the eighties either, being that the time when many say it started to get worse. The seventies, however, are a nice balance between being memorable, well designed, and just good toys. Other than collectors and die hard fans, who would buy a Monoid, or a caveman?
TARDIS Traveller
January 27th, 2019 - 9:47pmI remember seeing online protypes of Jamie and a yeti so hopefully they may see the light of the day for a second doctor set. Ideally for me for a fifth doctor set would include an Ainsley master
Shane Cook
January 28th, 2019 - 1:38amMaybe B&M could capitalise on the recent Bluray sell outs. Make a S19 pack, with another 5th Doctor and a Cyber leader. IF they cast Janets head could this be attached to a Martha Tochlafane body and painted like the Earthshock jump suit??
The Outcast
January 28th, 2019 - 5:23amBut there are a bunch of good looking 1960’s monsters. The Yeti (which was prototyped), the Quarks, which look good even if they do come from an awful story. The Voord look alright and reappear in a few EU tales. How about the Monk (who isn’t really a monster, but a villian)? On the larger end of things they could even try a War Machine. And there’s the Wheel Cyberman.
As for the 80s, Terilptils, Haemavores, Tetraps, that cool looking robot from the Mysterious Planet, the Mara (which could be made by repainting a rubber snake), Gravis, the 80s Silurians and Sea Devils, the Two Doctors Sontarans, Cheetah people, and there’s a bunch of villains, the Rani, the Valeyard, Omega and proper versions of the Tremas Master.

January 25th, 2019 - 8:15pmB&m is a chain of discount stores selling items at a reasonable price. To do a range of exclusive figures and sets would be expensive. And that would mean selling them at a higher price which is something that goes against what b&m’s is about.

January 25th, 2019 - 4:26pmLooks even better than the 3rd Doctor Tardis, IMHO! In actual fact… the Tardises (Tardi?) appear to be the wrong way round, I would have released this one with the 3rd doctor and the black base version with the 4th… but never the less, I’m so happy we’re getting more figures!

January 25th, 2019 - 3:13pmOnce again we get another repaint
booboo
January 25th, 2019 - 7:22pmB&M sets are always repaints
Gareth Pugh
January 25th, 2019 - 9:45pmCharacter and B&M have always said that their releases will always be repaints or adaptations of older figure parts – that’s the only way to hit the budget price point – and that (at least for now) B&M releases won’t ever include newly sculpted brand new figures. I remember reading that the tooling and billable labour-hours to sculpts new character from the ground up is between £20k and £40k so you can see their point.
Ian
January 29th, 2019 - 7:22amBill was a new figure.
