The Master and Axon The Claws of Axos Set
You can order this from Forbidden Planet International or ForbiddenPlanet.com.
72157624622068635
An approaching alien spaceship is detected on monitoring equipment at UNIT HQ, where the Brigadier is entertaining two visitors. The ship lands in England and the UNIT team meet its occupants a beautiful golden-skinned race of humanoids called Axons. The Axons claim that their ship, Axos, is damaged and that they need time in which to repair it. In return, they offer Axonite, a substance that can cause produce to grow to enormous sizes and thus end global food shortages.
The Doctor is suspicious, and rightly so, Axos, Axonite and the Axons are all part of one hideous parasitic entity brought to Earth by the Master (played by Roger Delgado) to feed on the planet’s energy and consume it. The Doctor manages to materialise his TARDIS, with the Master on board, at the centre of the Axos ship. Outmanoeuvring the Master the Doctor offers to link the two ships together to make one giant time machine, on condition that Axos in return helps him to take revenge on the Time Lords for exiling him to Earth. The trick works, and Axos is locked in a time loop from which it can never escape. The Doctor returns to Earth in the TARDIS, where he reluctantly admits to the Brigadier that the Master has escaped.
In this exclusive action figure set comes the Master, the arch enemy of the Doctor, as first played by Roger Delgado and the Axon creature. This set comprises of both the Master in his iconic suit with his Tissue Compression Eliminator weapon accessory and an Axon creature as they appeared together in the adventure ‘The Claws of Axos’.

Posted by: who crazy! September 8th, 2010
How did you know i do hartnell impressions people? Yes i do it when im talking clever like so you were wrong auntie hey hmmmm.
Posted by: Jamesbondisatimelord September 8th, 2010
who crazy, nice hartnell impression , do you do it in real life to people? that would be so funny
Posted by: who crazy! September 8th, 2010
I dont like prototype things because you dont see the joints on the knees and elbows but sometimes there are ones with joints so it looks good and it will impress me
Posted by: vortex dude September 6th, 2010
mines arived its well good the master looks so much better in real life than in the pics
Posted by: who crazy! September 1st, 2010
Because this is a big figure that means you can do good stuff with it like you can make the arms go outwards (it is a ball joint) the head can turn 360 degrees and the feet can turn 360 degrees. Oh by the way anyone who has got this set is part of the axon removable?
Posted by: Joe August 31st, 2010
I got this set yesterday. BRILLIANT!
i will review it soon on my youtube channel which is JoeAndTeddy.

Is mega shorts on this site because he does such good reviews
Posted by: who crazy! August 23rd, 2010
A few hours ago i did watch the review and its cool
Posted by: who crazy! August 23rd, 2010
Mega shorts has made a review of this set earlyer on today but i have not watched it because my dads watching telly and he might yell so lound that the house will fall down but i am looking forward to watching it when my dad has stopped watching telly. I’m not watching it while im eating my lunch because the axon will put me off my food.
Posted by: Juddon Platoon August 21st, 2010
They should now do companions
Posted by: The Dude August 21st, 2010
YES! Mine has just arrived in the mail!
Posted by: Jamesbondisatimelord August 21st, 2010
Uuumm, sorry to ‘re-ask’ but should I get this or revenge of the cybermen and silver nemesis DVD set
Posted by: booboo August 20th, 2010
I’m going to have to change my spell checker
Posted by: booboo August 20th, 2010
This was originally made for a build a figure krynoid with the classic wave 2 but something changed. In the show itself it was the same costume but a different colour and more tentacles , they just decided to use it this way i suppose
Posted by: Jamesbondisatimelord August 20th, 2010
Should I buy this or revenge of cybermen and silver enmesis box set
Posted by: miss-who August 20th, 2010
why does it look like a krynoid when it says its an axon?
Posted by: Jamesbondisatimelord August 20th, 2010
Maybe sell both
Posted by: BooBoo August 20th, 2010
I don’t know, a lot of people are wanting an Axon to paint green as a Crynoid which is what it really is
Posted by: Jamesbondisatimelord August 20th, 2010
I think you would be more likely to make a sale if you sold the master figure
Posted by: cam August 19th, 2010
packaging?
just wondering if i buy this then sell the axon for £10-15 would anyone be interested?
Posted by: Silence will fall August 19th, 2010
Does this mean a Master set with an exclusive Eric Roberts maybe.
Delgado (The Sea Devils)
Deadly Assaisin Master (Repaint)
Ainley (Logopolis)
Roberts (TV Movie)
Jacobi (Utopia)
Simm (New head scuplt. End of Time)
Maybe a Last of Timelords one
Posted by: gary August 19th, 2010
mine just came, it’s just so fantastic, it looks just like him and the axon is supprisingly heavy
Posted by: The Whofan101 August 18th, 2010
Now I can’t decide to get either this or the 4th doctor and K9 set
Posted by: gary August 18th, 2010
mine sould come tomorrow, can’t wait!!! i think that roger delgado was such a fantastic master, he played it so well and looks the part definatley!
now all we need is a jo, brigadier, benton and yates and we can all play UNIT vs The Master lol joke
Posted by: stephen August 18th, 2010

Posted by: Jamesbondisatimelord August 17th, 2010

Posted by: Peter August 17th, 2010

Posted by: 1 August 17th, 2010
the axon looks much lighter than the promo
Posted by: booboo August 17th, 2010
yes they will be on later this evening
Posted by: Ray August 17th, 2010
Wow what an incredible likeness Roger Delgado is.
Posted by: 1 August 17th, 2010
are you going to put your pictures of the set up as i would like to see what this set looks like as i have only seen one review of this set and i don’t think it did these figures justice
Posted by: booboo August 17th, 2010
I got our set this morning, The Roger Delgado figure is fantastic
Posted by: Paul August 17th, 2010
Just got a dispatch email from FPI
Posted by: Emperor Omega August 17th, 2010
Calm youself, Flaw Games. The Master & Axon Set was one of the rumoured sets in the list and that’s just come out. It makes the others in the list (Including Linx & his ship) possible releases for the near future. Who knows? They may be being packaged as we speak. (P.S This isn’t a hint, merely a possibility) FP & CO managed to keep tight lipped about The Master & Axon for a long time. Who knows what other Figure Set secrets they’re keeping from us?
Posted by: the flaw games August 17th, 2010
theres a rumor of a sontarn linx and scoutship flying around i its not true my head will explode
Posted by: dalek sec August 17th, 2010
Finally some classic masters! My favourite is anthony ainley but delgado is just as good
Posted by: mj who s August 16th, 2010

good thinking doctor who mania 321!
Posted by: doctor who mania 321 August 16th, 2010
pubpenny
the nestine could control it!
it’s probaly the nestine from spearhead from space cos there has been a meteorite shower and there were shooting stars a nestine could probaly be a shooting star
Posted by: Emperor Omega August 16th, 2010
“Omega and The brigadier from the 3 Doctors would perhaps be the only thing that would surpass the Delgado set for me.”
What would really do it for me would be Commander Linx & his Ship. It would be the 1st 5 Inch scale ship that isn’t a TARDIS. As for the Master & Axon set, I’m not sure if I’ll buy it or not. I like the Master, but I hate the Axons.
Posted by: dalekvscybs August 16th, 2010
roger waz an awesome master
Posted by: alex August 16th, 2010
why don’t they do classic companions?
Posted by: booboo August 16th, 2010
Omega and The brigadier from the 3 Doctors would perhaps be the only thing that would surpass the Delgado set for me.
Dalek set 3 – Special weapons Dalek, Genesis davros, Emperor Dalek from Remembrance.
Posted by: Emperor Omega August 16th, 2010
Hopefully, the other rumoured sets will be released, just as this one has.
Posted by: daz August 16th, 2010
after forking out loads of money on the doctors exclusives from FP. And then they released a cheap 11 doctor set.
Think i’ll wait for the Masters Set. It’s bound to be released next year by CO for normal shops…
Posted by: booboo August 16th, 2010
its out now, Forbidden Planet stores had it for sale on Saturday. they really managed to keep this one quiet!
Posted by: gary August 16th, 2010
so is this out now or is it a pre-order because it doesn’t say pre-order on forbidden planet but it is very odd that it’s just come out on the same day a picture was released.
Posted by: jazzy jay August 16th, 2010
all the classics apart from erik i think the master in red and all the new yessssss
Posted by: booboo August 15th, 2010
These sets are nothing to do with CO, they are commissioned by underground toys and if people don’t buy them for £25 we wont get any more.
Posted by: pupbenny August 15th, 2010
booboo, If only we could somehow stop people from buying these sets for £25 as soon as they come out! Then they will go down in price and everyones happy. Oh no wait! Apart from CO I suppose. Well at least they’d be getting more money actually!
Posted by: pupbenny August 15th, 2010
The nestine could control it!
Posted by: the flaw games August 15th, 2010
who crazy how could a 5 inch peice of plastic rip a humans head right of?
Posted by: Androvax August 15th, 2010
ordered it in the usa whilst i am on holiday, hopefully it will have arrived by the time i get back! both the master and the axon look great. it is good to have a great monster and exciting 2 pack!
Posted by: KORSAIR August 14th, 2010
@ C@A If I’m not mistaken I think the krynoids were the axon costumes dyed, I could be wrong but maybe not
Posted by: gary August 14th, 2010
ordered mine, can’t wait for it!!!
Posted by: Tony August 14th, 2010
Ordered mine.I cannot wait This is very unusual to have the item from the time its announced.
Posted by: booboo August 14th, 2010
Cant wait to get mine, should have it Tuesday
Posted by: chas August 14th, 2010
you are right! but it is really good the master is fantastic
Posted by: C@A August 14th, 2010
It’s not a Axon, it’s a pink Krynoid!
Posted by: who crazy! August 14th, 2010
Booboo please dont talk about the auton doll!
Posted by: BooBoo August 14th, 2010
Just hope they don’t bring out the plastic doll from Terror of the Autons then, now that scary
Posted by: who crazy! August 14th, 2010
The axon is scary! Im not buying it because im afraid the axon will come to life while im asleep and rip my head off!
Posted by: The Whofan101 August 14th, 2010
I want, but can’t get. Whilst the master is the main point of the set, it’s stupid that it comes with an axon, a little known creature. Also, I don’t have the money for the set
Posted by: gary August 14th, 2010
Posted by: DoctorWho collection August 14th, 2010
Yes I can’t wait till i can afford the master and Axon but first I’m saving up for The 5th doctor and the master. I really like the look of the masters so I’m going to buy both of them (if i can.) But first I’m getting the 5th doctor and the Incredible Master!
Bye Bye

THE PERCEPTION FILTER APPRECIATION SOCIETY P & P on Forbidden Planet.com for this set is £5.50 but on Forbidden Planet.co.uk it is something between £2.40 – £4.50
Posted by: THE PERCEPTION FILTER APPRECIATION SOCIETY. August 14th, 2010
How much is P&P on Forbidden Planet?
Posted by: Geo August 13th, 2010
Now this is an impressive Master. Not knocking Messrs Ainley or Simm but Roger Delgado was my 1st introduction to The Master and this figure certainly does him justice. I, too, hope that the mass produced figure lives up to what the promo photo promises! As for the Axon, not too shabby. (Personally, I’d have preferred The Master with the 3rd Doctor or the Brigadier, but I’m not gonna complain!)
Posted by: lewis Green August 13th, 2010
If Roger Delgado looks as good as the promo image he’s going to be fantastic
Posted by: Geog112 August 13th, 2010
it wouldnt fit in normal packaging! it can go with the tardis sets instead
Posted by: Jacovich August 13th, 2010
i wish it came in origanal pakingin like the rest of the figures cos i display them in there paks i never take them out so it wount look as good
Posted by: Devils End August 13th, 2010
Superb, that’s all i can say
Posted by: Finlay August 13th, 2010
Yes! Roger Delgado! My dad loved Roger’s Master! He’ll be surprised when he sees this!
Posted by: booboo August 13th, 2010
This would be my first choice as it just shouts “The master” but i would love a Delgado figure in daemons robes figure
Posted by: Stratigest Dalek August 13th, 2010
My mum said when she gets paid next month I can get this and The 11th Doctor and Scientist Dalek YYYYYAAAAAYYYY
Posted by: 1 August 13th, 2010
couldn’t there be other clothing variations of the master
Posted by: harry doolan August 13th, 2010
ryan get this set its worth it.I mean the 3rd doctors sonic looks good but this
set looks very good with another master ( this means we have neary all the classic masters
Posted by: Ryan August 13th, 2010
happy in one way sad in another 1: delgado looks fab
, 2: the axon looks a bit iffy 
, and now there’s a pertwee sonic aswell so I’m torn between the two of which to get first! and now I wish I left the ainley and davison set cus this is way better!
Posted by: KORSAIR August 13th, 2010
A very good likeness
Posted by: Chris666eden August 13th, 2010

Posted by: GRB2010 August 13th, 2010
Delgado Master FANTASTIC!! Not sure about axon, would have preferred something else like jo grant or an auton.
Posted by: Simon August 13th, 2010
This is brilliant, this was well at the top of my list for most wanted figures. I really hope we get a brigadier at some stage as well.
Posted by: The Master August 13th, 2010
A Roger Delgado figure, absolutely fantastic and with the Axon as well, great price as well
Posted by: booboo August 13th, 2010
yep, which means we can easily get the figures out
Posted by: booboo August 13th, 2010
When i first saw this i was expecting £29.99, possibly £34.99 so i think this is great value
Posted by: saul August 13th, 2010
IT COMES IN A BOX
Posted by: C@A August 13th, 2010
Nicely detailed, I may get this.
Posted by: Restac August 13th, 2010
