The Three Doctors Collectors Set 1972 – Pictures
The Three Doctors Collectors Set 1972
This item can be ordered from www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk. Please note this item is exclusive to Forbidden Planet international in the UK.
Don’t forget our interactive Doctor Who Classic Lists where you can see every classic 5″ figure ever made and save which one you own. There are also handy filers to see which figures have been made in each of The Doctors Era’s or see only companions, Masters etc.
A gel-like plasma creature arrives on Earth and hunts down the third Doctor, who calls on the Time Lords for help. The Time Lords themselves are in crisis as their energy is being drawn off into a black hole. They send the Doctor’s earlier selves to join him.
The first Doctor, caught in a time eddy and able only to advise, deduces that the creature is a time bridge. The third Doctor and Jo then give themselves up to it and are transported to a world of antimatter beyond the black hole.
On Earth, the second Doctor is forced to take refuge in the TARDIS along with the Brigadier and Sergeant Benton. On the advice of the first Doctor he switches off the ship’s force field, and the whole UNIT building is transported through the black hole.
Behind these events is Omega, a figure from Time Lord history whose solar engineering provided the power for time travel.
He has been trapped in the black hole ever since and now wants the Doctor to swap places with him, but it transpires that the corrosive properties of his domain have already destroyed his physical form, leaving only his will.
This Gel Guard was lit with a lamp under a glass table – it looks superb…
Contents:
The Brigadier In Peaked Cap with Pistol
Jo Grant (with alternate arms and removable gilet).
Gel Guard

Esterath
September 26th, 2012 - 5:28pmBooboo, did you get my brother’s story? IS it okay to post stories here?
booboo
September 26th, 2012 - 5:29pmHaven’t looked yet to busy.will try later
timelord327
September 26th, 2012 - 5:27pmThis looks like a brilliant set! will definitely be getting this.
Cyberdevil
September 26th, 2012 - 5:23pm£27 for Two companions and a monster. Bargain
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 5:27pmVery much so, i assume the Gel guards arm/tentacle/gun is articulated, have the other figures got ball joints? As jo’s arms are swappable, are they ball jointed?
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 5:31pmGlad of Jo’s hair, I was worried about it. They done it very well.
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 5:23pmIs the Brigs hat removable?
booboo
September 26th, 2012 - 5:25pmdont think so
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 5:27pmShame, i asked because it looks quite loosely put on him in the picture.
booboo
September 26th, 2012 - 5:30pmmight be but i wouldn’t think so
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 5:32pmyuh, i think they would have mentioned it in the list of contents, loving the removable jacket on Jo. Very nice, seems to be a thing with the Pertwee era! just doctor and Bessie needed now. If we got a Benton, thats all the major characters form the three docs now. Just a TARDIS, and maybe some rotocast lab stuff? that would be cool!
Judooning
September 26th, 2012 - 5:23pmIt seems as though Character Options are lowering the prices of these sets.
Probably to try and generate more sales by eople being able to afford them.
booboo
September 26th, 2012 - 5:26pmTheir Pr has been excellent for this set and the price is amazing for 3 new figures.
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 5:33pmThought it was going to be at least £30, so real good!
David
September 26th, 2012 - 5:20pmOne of the best sets ever, for the price and the variety of figures (all 3 are new). 5/5 stars
doctorpond393
September 26th, 2012 - 5:18pmSO JO’S COAT CAN BE REMOVED AND HER ARMS SWAPPED?
booboo
September 26th, 2012 - 5:20pmyes
Judooning
September 26th, 2012 - 5:21pmYep. Nice little bonous for us! 🙂
Esterath
September 26th, 2012 - 5:16pmhmm, Jo figure looks dodgy, The Brig is amazing! Might still get it.
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 5:17pmRemember, these are prototypes right? Im sure like many figures, they will look much better in the flesh/plastic
Esterath
September 26th, 2012 - 5:18pmTrue but I saw the Winston Churchill figure last week, people said it looked better in the flesh but it still looked like Timothy Spall!
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 5:25pmMaybe, but it did still look better! BTW did Rory look any better in the flesh?
Esterath
September 26th, 2012 - 5:26pmDidn’t see him anywhere.
Mr Evil Fez
September 26th, 2012 - 5:14pmI love this! I really like The Brigadier! Dissapointed with Jo though.
And this site didn’t crash, it EXPLODED! I tried loads of times to get onto this page! 😯
booboo
September 26th, 2012 - 5:16pmyes it did, 100’s trying to get on-line, we are going to have to upgrade out server again
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 5:18pmSays somethign about popularity! So what do you think booboo? Looks great to me! and im sure Jo will look much better in hand!?
booboo
September 26th, 2012 - 5:19pmi have no worries, lots said the same about leela, Churchill, Rory and they all turned out fine
The Silence
September 26th, 2012 - 5:14pmGreat set. Wish it was out a bit earlier than January though.
Jason doctorwhoone
September 26th, 2012 - 5:13pmFINALLY !! My all time favorite companion becomes an action figure 😀
And it looks nothing like her 🙁
Perhaps if there was a close up of her face I might change my opinion.
Jason doctorwhoone
September 26th, 2012 - 5:15pmI take it back, it does look like her 😀
Not sure about the Brig thou.
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 5:19pmIm sure they will look better in the flesh, cameras dos screw things up sometimes!
Judooning
September 26th, 2012 - 5:13pmWhat a wonderfull set! I don’t think we could ask for any better. Pre-ordered my set. I’m not letting this one slip away!
All the figures look stunning and i just can’t wait to get hold of them.
Let’s hope UT hint at figures a few days before their release again. Because it’s so much more exciting that way!
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 5:20pmYes, i hope they do this again in the future, could become a regular thing, think it works very well with social networking and all!
booboo
September 26th, 2012 - 5:21pmi’m sure they will
leighton h

matparks08
September 26th, 2012 - 5:12pmGreat set – the gel guard is fantastic! Shame it’s not out in time for christmas though! All those people who wanted Mr Ollis to be the third figure must be disappointed though 😆
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 5:22pmyuh timing is a bit naff, but still, at least we are getting the set!
Androvax
September 26th, 2012 - 5:12pmOne of the best sets that they have released!
I love The Brig and The Cell Guard, an ideal birthday present for me in January!
TheSinkingStar
September 26th, 2012 - 5:12pmxD yes i was one of those visitors, apologies booboo.
Thankfully i found the set on forbidden planet before the site came back up, looks fantastic doesn’t it?
TheSinkingStar
September 26th, 2012 - 5:14pmI mean joe doesn’t look that great, i’m sure she will in hand though.

megawood100

booboo
September 26th, 2012 - 5:13pmI have learned to never Judge a figure by it promo image, she will look great i have no doubt
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 5:23pmI think the brig looks great even in the pic, i just hope you can store his gun in the pouch!?
booboo
September 26th, 2012 - 5:25pmhe is going to be fantastic
Sam Orme
September 26th, 2012 - 5:07pmAt last, The Brigg and Jo, just the 2 figures want…i’ll b getting this January wiv my b/day money 🙂 (mayb the prices will b down aswel)
TimeLordRegenerated
September 26th, 2012 - 5:07pmConsidering i wanted this set for the Jo i must say i am rather dissapointed with the facial sculpt,her face looks chubby, her eyes look weird and her fringe looks dodgy. I hope they improve the sculpt before its made.
The brigadiers however looks great except for his weird eyebrows.
The gel guard looks fantastic.
Moxx of Who
September 26th, 2012 - 5:06pmI tried to get on loads of times and the site wasn’t loading. But good to here about these new figures!!
Tardis’nt

megawood100
September 26th, 2012 - 5:06pmThe Set is amazing, 3 Brand new figures with some assessories for only £26.99, bargain! Only shame is the release date but you never know, they might try and bring it forward just in time for Christmas! 😀
THE ERGON
September 26th, 2012 - 5:06pmIts not out till 2013 is it?
The Supreme Dalek
September 26th, 2012 - 5:05pmAwesome!!!!! 😀
THE ERGON
September 26th, 2012 - 5:04pmGood set. But as usual i have niggles. Jos face doesn,t look like her and the gelguard is a brown colour. They were more orange on the programme. The brig looks super.
MrWho63

timelord3
