Doctor Who 5.5″ The Curator Collectors Set
Available to order in the UK from www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk
Available to order in the USA from www.entertainmentearth.com
The Doctors embark on their greatest adventure in the 50th anniversary special.
In 2013, something terrible is awakening in London’s National Gallery; in 1562, a murderous plot is afoot in Elizabethan England; and somewhere in space an ancient battle reaches its devastating conclusion.
All of reality is at stake as the Doctor’s own dangerous past comes back to haunt him…
At the conclusion of this story the Eleventh Doctor meets the Curator, the mysterious guardian of the painting now revealed to be called: “Gallifrey Falls, No More”.
The Curator seems to know a lot more about the Doctor than he lets on, a mystery that still remains unsolved…
- Includes a Curator Figure, Lenticular Gallifrey Falls Painting, Walking Stick.
- “In years to come, you might find yourself… revisiting a few. But just the old favourites, eh?”
- For ages 5 years and over. Styles may vary.

“So yesterday morning we were sent a box of production samples of action figures we’ve been working on over the last nine months.
Most of them haven’t even been announced yet so we can’t talk about them but one figure, The Curator, went on sale yesterday so we thought you might like to see some ‘behind the scenes’ renders of the original sculpt. He was sculpted in ZBrush and rendered in Keyshot.”

September 19th, 2015 - 5:17pmI made a day trip to Whona’s offices the other day. Incredible fan items on display there , when you make an appointment to tour it. Got my white and black shirt 12th Doctor figures, and the Curator boxed figure as well. Loving them all. I tried to swap the head on the Doctor, but stopped. Doesn’t feel like it comes off, and I don’t want to break it.

September 19th, 2015 - 5:26pmIt does come off. I have switched heads. I love the curator set also…. The sculpt of old Tom a Baker is great. It makes a great Addition to my collection

September 19th, 2015 - 4:12pmI think for £30 they could’ve at least given us a little easel for the picture to stand on. How are you supposed to display the thing once it’s opened, actually hang it on the wall?

September 19th, 2015 - 1:48pmIf these figures that appeared at Comiccon are being released at Forbidden planet, I wonder what Toys R us will be getting along with the Flight control TARDIS? Interesting! 🙂 Hopefully some new stuff we haven’t even seen yet.

September 19th, 2015 - 1:37pmWhoNA got three packaging options: Mint, Non-Mint, and Smashed.
I guess that might be what they mean by “Styles may vary.”
MickeySmith07
September 19th, 2015 - 1:43pmIt’s saying the style of the figure may vary. I.e. The paint may be slightly a different colour or might not be exactly the same pattern

September 18th, 2015 - 8:30pmI love the look of this but have you seen the price no way I’m buying that for £30!
Ian
September 18th, 2015 - 8:12pmI wonder if the head is a pop off one. I also think it is expensive for what it is.
$29.95 in the US is £19.21. 12th Doctor is $16.95-£10.87 which is selling for £14.99.

September 18th, 2015 - 7:53pmDidn’t the painting have a stand in the ep?

Merlin
September 19th, 2015 - 9:22amYes, when the Doctor first encountered it. Later, no.

September 18th, 2015 - 7:20pmI think it’s great… But what’s the real point of it? I mean we don’t even know who the curator really is? And the painting is cool besides that what’s the real point of making it?
JellyBaby100
September 18th, 2015 - 7:21pmAn excuse to make another Tom Baker figure really.

September 18th, 2015 - 6:27pmWhat happened to The Black Shirt 12th doctor at WHONA ???
Anonymous
September 18th, 2015 - 6:36pmI guarantee that it will be listed on FPI the day after they dispatch the Curator figure 😉
booboo
September 18th, 2015 - 6:42pmIt was solicited to early
Cyberman Bill
September 18th, 2015 - 8:33pmMine will be with me in a couple of days. I’ll send in pictures of the black shirt doctor and the curator set.

September 18th, 2015 - 5:50pmthe sculpt is one of the best i have seen. i only just ordered the 2 doctors thurs and they dispatched today fri. but this is exciting. cannot wait Tom is the best
Stike
September 18th, 2015 - 5:43pmAt least include some more stuff if its gonna be £30.
If I was sane, I would not buy this for such a price, unfortunately, I am not sane and desperate for 5 inch so I MuSt BuY tHiS SeT

September 18th, 2015 - 5:42pmIt looks so good! I will have to get it for Christmas.
Matthew
September 18th, 2015 - 5:35pmSuch a shame about the price, for £30 I’d like to see more than on figure and two accessories. Don’t get me wrong it’s a wonderful sculpt, but £30? Really queen?
Fredfez
September 18th, 2015 - 5:24pmThe price for this is absurdly ludricus!!! I’m really disappointed becouse I can’t spend that much money one figure and I was really looking forward to getting it until now
Adam
September 18th, 2015 - 5:37pmI think FP are having to import these with import duty and then the VAT we have to pay which USA don’t
would explain the price
yognot
September 18th, 2015 - 6:45pmThe price is ludicrous? It’s only thirty pounds. I mean in dollars that’s…. $46.70… Yeah that’s expensive.
Cyberman Bill
September 18th, 2015 - 8:38pmActually in the States it’s 29.95$. That’s actually a good deal.
David
September 18th, 2015 - 5:18pmThat painting is going to be huge
love it

September 18th, 2015 - 5:15pmits a nice set but don’t really see the point of it.

September 18th, 2015 - 5:21pmTo be honest I have been more excited about this release than the 12th Doctor figures (mainly because no effort has been put into the 12th Doctor release). The Curator is a very interesting addition to the shows mythology and this figure is great for collectors…however I am so annoyed we have to pay so much for it. The price (esp with FPIs postage fees) actually made me hesitate before ordering even though I have been waiting for this.

September 18th, 2015 - 5:14pmI literally haven’t even looked at the item i just pre-ordered instantly . Will i regret that haha!??

September 18th, 2015 - 5:06pmFPI doing it again, releasing one figure at a time, dispatching the pre-orders before announcing the next thing so we have to pay postage on every order.
