Special Feature – Cybermen Figures
With the addition of our extensive Cybermen section to the main site we thought we would take a look at some of the Cybermen merchandise, in particular figures that have been made available over the years.
How it all began – well not quite. The first Cyberman figure was manufactured by Dennis Fisher (Mego) and is now extremely rare. We have yet to find one to add to our collection but you can see it Here at Mego Museum.
The first TV appearance of the Cybermen was in the 10th Planet with Characters superb figure shown below.
Product Enterprise produced various talking Cybermen including an all over matt silver finish, a Chrome effect Cyberman and Cyberleader and a Stealth Cyberman.
The two Dapol Cybermen. Although not as accurate as today’s figures many people still collect Dapol. Some of their later figures had no articulation like the Cyberman shown below (right). None the less this was probably one of the best Figures they produced.
Sixteen 12 produce two 12″ statues, the Cyberman and Cyberleader from Revenge of The Cybermen. Each statue is cast in high quality polystone material and were sculpted by renowned artists Sarah Aplin and Andrew Teal
Characters first venture into classic Cybermen was the Build A Figure Age of Steel Set which included Tomb, Invasion and 10th Planet versions with parts to build the Cybercontroller from Tomb of the Cybermen. The Earthshock Cybermen was included with Characters classic wave 2 but since then all classic figures have been commissioned by Underground Toys.
All the Classic Cybermen so far… Click the Image for a spectacular large version.
The Tescos 3 figure set was amazingly sold off in some stores for just a few pounds and is now quite sort after.
Underground Toys. Many variation of Cybermen are now available thanks to the commitment the classic series by Underground Toys. Shown below are just 2 sets, The Silver Nemesis set and 6th Doctor with Stealth Cyberman
The Cybus Cybermen. A whole host of Cybermen from the new series have been manufactured by Character with several Cyberleaders, Underhenge and Standard Cybermen shown below. Click the image for a full version.
Many other variations and novelties have been made. Shown below are the Character 12″ Cyberman and Controller, Bubble bath, room guard and voice changer helmet.
Scificollector produced a superb 5″ figure with stand which is shown below (centre) along with the Cards Inc bust, Corgi, Micro universe, Time squad, keyring and Money box versions.
The two that got away? (three if you count the Cybershades). The Wheel in space and Cybercontroller from Attack of the Cybermen – will we see them one day? (in case you hadn’t realised the images below are a mock of existing figures and screenshots )
And finally – Still to come, the superb Titan Maxi Bust and Character Building figure – but we have a feeling it wont stop there…

Why don’t people like the wheel in space cybermen? They are great apart from the dodgy voices
Posted by: Whovian1 December 24th, 2012
Love the cybercontroller with the giant brain showing from Tomb of the Cybermen. Man, I remember loving watching that episode. One of my favs.
Posted by: John Smith September 15th, 2012
I really hope that they release an Attack of the Cybermen version of the Cyber Controller although I hope they don’t make him look fat like the original Cyber Controller looked like in the broadcast. The Wheel in Space Cybermen would also be cool to see.

j’aime les cybermen mais ils ne les font pas en france c’est dommage
Posted by: CallumEales March 26th, 2012
is the wreaked cyberman from series 2 considered rare
Posted by: booboo March 26th, 2012
not now, it was at one time but then B&M stores bought it out on mass
Posted by: CallumEales March 26th, 2012
what about nethew
Posted by: booboo March 26th, 2012
no
Posted by: Dalek Sec March 5th, 2012
I quite liked the “The Five Doctors” Cybers. CO should make an adventure games Cyberman figure. Or at least a CB.
Posted by: Shihan March 12th, 2012
Poor CB Cyberman. It looks as if it’s about to be blown apart by the Maxi Bust Cyberman’s gun, which is pointing straight at him!
Posted by: OverHereStranger February 19th, 2012
I have compared the “12″ Cyber leader and Controller to the drones. The drones were known for having wacky eyes, yet Character appeared to have fixed the eyes problem with the Leader and Controller. Too bad they stopped the “12″ figures line before they could get better with them.
So if you want “12″ Cybermen to add to your collection, be sure to get the Leader or Controller.
Posted by: connor January 29th, 2012
is that attack of the cybermen cyber controller figure real? it looks it
Posted by: booboo January 29th, 2012

Posted by: Liason Ice September 4th, 2011
I have come to the conclusion that most modern doctor who guns are slightly modified NERF guns, River had a Nitefinder, the big black Cyber guns from Doomsday and the Pandorica Opens are Longshots.
If I find anymore I will update this

my fav has got to be the invasion -they look so cool!
Posted by: Mumble5557 February 27th, 2011
Booboo I hope to see this because the Cyber Controler looks good but I wuuld have a regular Cyberman, a Cyberleader and a CyberControler. Who would rather see that? Anyone…?
Posted by: THE DOCTOR April 14th, 2011
how do u get a pic like that on the coment
Posted by: Keith da Cald February 22nd, 2011
The Cybermen are my favorite BigBads for Dr Who! And CO’s Cyber Figures are FANTASTIC! You got me tho – I was so excited that a Wheel Cyberman was being made – then I saw your blurb that they were mockups, what a bummer!
Hopefully CO will make them so we have a complete line up!(tho there’s minor variants re: the Attack Controller as noted). And I’d love a Cyber Deluxe set with mix n match parts to make your own Cyberman figure!
In addition to Wheel Cybies, I also hope there’s new models for the New Series – & new figures of…

I can’t tell the difference between character and underground toys.
Posted by: booboo February 16th, 2011
Character hold the license to produce Classic and new Doctor Who figures, they have chosen to do only new series figures themselves whilst underground toys “commission” (in other words ask character make on their behalf) The classic figures. Without underground toys commitment there probably would be no more classic figures
Posted by: superdalek February 15th, 2011
My favorate is definatly the stealth and you can’t change my mind!
Posted by: ozzysupreme February 15th, 2011
booboo you put “The two that got away? (three if you count the Cybershades)”
what about an earthshock cyberleader and an attack cyberman?
Posted by: booboo February 15th, 2011
They are just variants of figures that are already out
Posted by: Scarves are awesome February 14th, 2011
Pretty much. Also if you think its rediculeous you should watch Silver Nemesis.
Posted by: Dalek caan February 14th, 2011
yes found out sorry about that but thats really dumb cybermen allergic to gold and their silver so to get a cyberman away just trow gold at it?!!?
Posted by: omega February 14th, 2011
Obviously you’ve never heard of Revenge of the cybermen. A story on their allergy.
Posted by: Dalek caan February 14th, 2011
waht the cybermen are alergic to gold dont be rediculese!! as if
Posted by: omega February 14th, 2011
Mega LOL
Posted by: LiasonIce February 14th, 2011
The Cybermen can’t turn gold they’re allergic. Lol
Posted by: Dalek Sec March 5th, 2012
Well they suffocate if it goes into their “lungs”, so make an cyberman with a gold casing. Or use brass.
Posted by: Dalek caan February 14th, 2011
it be cool if the cybermen turned gold!!
Posted by: LiasonIce February 14th, 2011
Wow, the cybermen are cool and this just puts it into perspective cybermen have been around for years changing and I hope they keep doing it.
Posted by: Gavin Bollard February 13th, 2011
I love the tenth planet cybermen but not their voices.
It’s just that they look half-converted. I’d love for them to do modern cyberman story with the original cyber-timeline maybe set on Mondas before the explosion and just as the full conversions are starting.
Posted by: Doctor stu February 13th, 2011
both cybermen busts look brilliant. they both have really sharp detsil, they look like the real thing
Posted by: The Master February 12th, 2011
The Cybermen bubble bath looks as good as the figures
Posted by: McGann is the Doctor. February 12th, 2011
The 80s Cybermen were the finest, in my view, and the voices the scariest and most dramatic any day (apart from the episode Attac kof the Cybermen, the odd dialogue between the Cyberlieutenant and the Controller was totally ropey!).
There will be the Cybercontroller one day, and sadly it probably wont come with the character Commander Lytton (Maurice Colbourne, also from Resurrection of the Daleks, great character).
But thats understandable enough, and Id want the Peri from Attack of The Cybermen
. Paint the belt. (blue)
Posted by: Angel Tim February 12th, 2011
There is also the ones from ‘Blood of the cybermen’
Posted by: Jason doctorwhoone February 12th, 2011
Who ever used Photoshop [ or whatever was used ] to make the mock up pictures of the Wheel in Space Cybermen and Attack of the Cybermen Cybercontroller . . . . you are a GENIUS !! . . . you completely fooled me, i thought they where for real.
I have no 80′s Cybermen yet, ive only seen like one or two individual Earthshock Cybermen in the Entertainer in Romford, i went to buy one in there, the last one they had, but someone got it before i did cos i went back to the shop about half an hour later. . damn . . not seen the other 80′s ones…
Posted by: UDWF1 February 12th, 2011
Have you got the CyberLeader Desk Guard? It’d really cool!
Posted by: booboo February 12th, 2011

Posted by: King Ninja February 12th, 2011
Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! My personal hope? More really detailed busts and some ‘large’ figures again only even more detailed this time. I’m so glad the cybermen are conquering this beautiful site today! Think I’m in Heaven!
Posted by: Scarves are awesome February 12th, 2011
The Cybermen were always my favorite monsters. I wish that they released some Wheel in Space Cybermen as they were quite a good design. Maybe in a pack with Zoe?
Posted by: alex February 12th, 2011
did anyone else come on here because the picture made you think the cybercontroller and the wheel cybermen figures had been revealed?
Posted by: The Whofan101 February 12th, 2011
Where did you get the pics of the Wheel in Space and Cyber Controller in the Two that got away section?
Posted by: booboo February 12th, 2011
The heads are screenshots from the actual episodes photoshoped onto earthshock and Tomb Cybermen figures.
Posted by: KRYNOIDY February 12th, 2011
The Cybusmen are good but they are more like drones then the cold, calculating and menacing Earthshock Cybermen. The stomping is silly and the robotic monotone voice makes them sound unintelligent. the David Banks voice is the best.
Posted by: Dalek caan February 12th, 2011
ps cybermen are my 2 frav enamy number 1 can anyone guess?
