The Time Warrior Sontaran Figure Set
This set is available to buy online from Forbidden Planet or Forbidden Planet International
Journalist Sarah Jane Smith covertly gains access to a research centre where top scientists are being held in protective custody whilst UNIT investigates the disappearance of a number of their colleagues. The missing scientists have been kidnapped by a Sontaran, Linx, and taken back to medieval England, where they are working under hypnosis to repair his crashed spaceship.

The Third Doctor follows in the TARDIS, and Sarah Jane stows away. In return for shelter, Linx has provided a robber baron called Irongron with anachronistically advanced weapons to use in attacks on neighbouring castles.
The Doctor helps Sir Edward of Wessex to repel one such attack, then he and Sarah Jane conspire to drug the food in Irongron’s kitchens so that the weapons can be removed while the men are unconscious. Aided by one of the kidnapped scientists, Rubeish, he then sends the others back to the 20th Century using Linx’s primitive time travel equipment.
Linx shoots Irongron down and gets ready to leave in his repaired ship. Hal, one of Sir Edward’s archers, fires an arrow into the vulnerable probic vent at the back of his neck, killing him. The Doctor, Sarah Jane and Hal escape just before the ship explodes, destroying the castle.
In this exclusive set we present the Classic Sontaran: Commander Linx and his iconic Sontaran space ship along with the Third Doctor in Green Jacket and Sonic Screwdriver.
Contents :
1 x Third Doctor in Green Jacket action figure
1 x Sontaran Commander Linx action figure with helmet and gun
1 x Sontaran Ship

I think i am getting this on June 7th ( My Birthday! )
Posted by: Tardis’nt April 15th, 2012
i really really want this as i have the other two sontaran sets, i was going to get it when i last went to fp but they didn’t have it, linx is so detailed and would look great in my collection, then i would have a miniature team of classic sontarans, maybe a scout group
Posted by: LOLDUDELOL4 April 15th, 2012
Im So Srry 4 you not finding it
Posted by: cyberman97 February 13th, 2012

Posted by: Mumble5557 December 28th, 2011
I bought this yesterday from a Sci-Fi shop in Liverpool, not Forbidden Planet, & every figure in the set is brilliant. Not to mention the Sontaron Pod is great. probably its the best buy for me in 2011
Posted by: booboo December 28th, 2011
worlds apart, we have the Traken set coming from them
Posted by: whofan4ever December 13th, 2011
might get this, i need a third doctor and i need it for christmas for the simple reason that i only have the 4th, 5th, 6th, 9th, 10th and of course the 11th so i need the third doctor and this looks like a nice sculpt. it will go well with the enemies of the third doctor set which i am also getting for christmas. expect alot of youtube reviews from me!!
i am called codsterwho
Posted by: WhoEleven August 26th, 2011
I walked past this in Forbidden Planet and i wish i got it now
really want it ssoooooooooo much, oh well
Posted by: WhoEleven August 30th, 2011
I have made a deal with a friend of mine to get the sontaran pod out of this set. He says he will send it today, i am really excited!!
Posted by: WhoEleven September 10th, 2011
Does anyone know where i can get linxs seperate cheap? I mean i hage tried ebay but has anyone else got anywhere else to go?
Posted by: james September 10th, 2011
amazon
Posted by: WhoEleven September 10th, 2011
@james oh, thank you!
Posted by: dalek 1 August 6th, 2011
i think this is a good set i did not like the 1st one
Posted by: dalek 1 August 5th, 2011
love this set i need it
Posted by: dalek 1 August 5th, 2011
but there is a lot of mud on his legs
Posted by: The Whofan101 July 1st, 2011
I plan to buy this ASAP, since I watched the episode earlier and in a Time Warrior mood
Posted by: booboo July 1st, 2011
this is a great set, much prefer in to the sontaran experiment
Posted by: McGann is the Doctor. July 7th, 2011
Me too, I prefer it. But since Im getting the Genesis set, Im gna buy my Doctor AND Sontaran Linx offa ebay.
Not paying an extra £9 for a plastic sphere that cant EVEN be used by the Sontaran.
Posted by: booboo July 7th, 2011
I’m going to get a spare one sometime and see how easy it is to cut out the back and see it i can do an interior
Posted by: McGann is the Doctor. July 7th, 2011
Cool booboo, but I imagine it shant be easy atall ! U’ll need, like, a drill or something ? :/
Posted by: The Spaceman June 7th, 2011
I hope they bring a Lynx out on it’s own because i already have a 3rd doctor (from the 11 doctors set) and a sontaran ship!!!
Posted by: “Carnival of Drashigs” man. June 10th, 2011
The Doctor and the Sontaran ship are both quite different in this set, and the Cloak from the 11 Doctor’s set can be used authenticly on this figure of the Third Doctor, since he wore it in the story.
If you DO insist on buying the Sontaran Linx seperately, then I would advise EBAY.
Posted by: WhoEleven June 12th, 2011
Yer. The is a Linx and Space Pod on ebay by themselves
Posted by: McGann is the Doctor. July 7th, 2011
Im gna get the Sontaran Comander, and this excellent figure of Third Doctor on ebay. Already orderd the Third Doctor.

Posted by: Emperor Omega May 31st, 2011
I’m starting to get annoyed with FP now! They’ve moved the date for this set up to 06 July! This isn’t the first time this has happened. When are FP actually gonna sell stuff ON TIME & UNDELAYED?!?
Posted by: McGann is so the Doctor. June 1st, 2011
A valid point, their Sixth-Doctor T-shirt still hasnt come out, among many other things.
I think it’s probably because of this
Pre-ordering that customers do. It sets them back, and they cant seem to keep up with demand.
This set is WORTH getting. The Sontaran is THE Sontaran. No more sontaran figures needed, this is the definitive and only one I would need on my shelves. Nuff said
Posted by: who crazy! June 2nd, 2011
McGann is so the Doctor: I agree that Linx the Sontaran is the proper AND the best Sontaran ever.
Posted by: McGann is The Doctor. May 27th, 2011
THIS is the set that my moneys on, I didnt want a set from “the SONTARAN experiment” I always wanted The Time Warrior set!!
Great job on that pertwee sculpt, goes well with that cloaked one from the 11 Doctors set.
-(and he wore that cloak in the Time Warrior, I’d know because it’s one of my favourites!!)
Posted by: who crazy! May 26th, 2011
The Linx figure shows this set up brilliantley. I’m happy the sontaran pod has a brown door inside not the green and yellow one from the sontaran experiment. Good attention to detail!
Posted by: THE ERGON May 26th, 2011
could have included sarah jane or even linx,s greeting flag. frustration for fans who,ve just shelled out 35 notes for the sontaran set.
Posted by: Ewan July 22nd, 2011
yeah but anyway its still good
Posted by: BlueBrickTARDIS May 21st, 2011
From the looks of the promo picture they’ve scrapped the mud effect on Pertwee, which means you have a very rare prototype, Booboo!
Posted by: someone May 21st, 2011
I acquired the other ebay one so I secretly hope so but DWW are notorious for producing incorrect images. Cricket Ball Doctor on several and Sonic Screwdriver with Season 18 Doctor to mention just a few…
Posted by: booboo May 22nd, 2011
I saw 4 on ebay from 3 different sellers, the person who had two had one that came with some sort of sample label i seem to remember, silly things is mine cost me less than the FP Release
Posted by: Anonymous May 21st, 2011
I think it’s quite a good set but why not make a maroon version of Jon Pertwee, you know a maroon jacket because it some ways it was his sort of main jacket after the navey.
Posted by: doctor pond 393 May 21st, 2011
that looks nothing like the interior of his ship! You did get to see it they could have done a plaset with a lift off roof so that the sontaran could sit and everything. doesnt it just annoy you that character options have no imagination!!! ggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Now Im annoyed
Posted by: Anonymous May 21st, 2011
I do think some of the recent figures of Matt Smith were very undetailed and I like detail. At some point if I had the chance I would mould my own and paint it with more detail. I mean they could do the shirt better instead of just lines and the christmas Matt Smith figure’s jacket could of had the brown line pattern on it I mean it just needs lines.
Posted by: McGann is The Doctor. May 21st, 2011
I hope there will be a PLANET OF THE SPIDERS set, with the Doctor and Sarah. If they make just ONE classic Sarah, we’ll be buying, so I hope there will be a set based on that story.
With a couple of Metebillis spiders and a repainted Third Doctor costume.
And maybe they could even kill two birds with one stone, and make a Brigadier to it, aswell. Infact, they should just do a UNIT set, with the Doctor Jo and Brig. Nuff said.
Posted by: Jonathan Turner May 22nd, 2011
I agree with you there and also katy Manning has announced there will be two figures of her soon
Posted by: drwhodaleks May 20th, 2011
i wish they would do a classic sarah jane with this set.
Posted by: E.T Doctor May 21st, 2011
that would be wierd sarah jane has stopped has ant it:/
Posted by: The Spaceman June 7th, 2011
It doesn’t matter. This was her first every story. We already have a 3rd doctor figure, it would be nice to get Sarah Jane!
Posted by: chas to booboo May 20th, 2011
booboo have you got all the dr who merchindise
Posted by: booboo May 20th, 2011
not all, all the classic figures yes
Posted by: chas May 20th, 2011
i quite like this
Posted by: The Good Man who went to war May 20th, 2011
Don’t you think this is a pattern . Last year there were a lot of dalek sets so this year they make a few sontaran sets and maybe next year more sets . Oh and there were a few cyberman double packs aswell.
Posted by: booboo May 20th, 2011
From a production point of view its cheaper to produce these sets on the same production line than keep going back to have to set it up all again, that’s probably why we have had 4 Davros/Dalek sets in a row and 2 sontaran pods.
Posted by: The Good Man who went to war May 21st, 2011
I Agree booboo .
Posted by: ross campbell May 20th, 2011
Wot wood have made this set better is that they cood have done a sarah jane figure instead of a new 3rd doctor varient. And also i c that CO have not printed the number across the pod door like they did with the sontaran experiment set. Also 2 day marks the 15th anniversy of jon pertwees death.
Posted by: ross campbell May 20th, 2011
What wood have made this set better is a sarah jane instead of a new 3rd doctor variant but all and all this looks very nice and i c that CO have not printed that number across the pod door like they did with the sontaran experiment set!
Posted by: Juddon Master May 19th, 2011
I like the look of this set but would be better if Sarah Jane was in it
Posted by: WhoEleven May 20th, 2011
yer, hope they do a Sarah Jane and the Brigadier figures
R.I.P
Posted by: Jonathan Turner May 22nd, 2011
Yeah I agree or maybe a boxset with five or six different figures of Sarah Jane and the Brigadier
Posted by: Twelth Cyber Legion June 5th, 2011

Posted by: dalek galt August 25th, 2011
i am not a big fan of the new seris and im 10
Posted by: RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND August 30th, 2011
i have now watched time warrior a few weeks vback, they should do a classic of sarah jane
Posted by: Shaney May 19th, 2011
I like this set and will be sure to get hold of one when it comes out. Like I finally got for the Sontaran Experiment.. But like the Sontaran Experiment set the ship lets it down.. I didn’t know till I got early this week the ship door opens BUT you can’t put the Sontaran in the Ship it is pretty much just a ball of rubber that opens.. The seat what there is of the inside with the seat is pretty much right behind the door.. It should been made so the Sontaran figure and go inside it and close the door like with the Tardis you can buy.
Posted by: Ray May 19th, 2011
I agree with you there, i suppose its cost related but it would have been much better with a chair much further inside
Posted by: Gary May 19th, 2011
The pictures are awesome,Pertwee looks superb. I’m definitely getting this
Posted by: Radiophonic May 19th, 2011
How charming!
Note the two-fingered salute from Lynx.
