Figurine Collection Magazine Issue 154 Broton Zygon
The Doctor Who Figurines Collection part 154 features Broton the Zygon warlord from the 1975 Fourth Doctor adventure ‘Terror of the Zygons’.
The Doctor, Sarah and Harry return to Earth in response to the Brigadier’s summons. UNIT are investigating a series of attacks on North Sea oil rigs.
The attacks are the work of a huge cyborg, the Skarasen, controlled by a group of aliens called Zygons whose spaceship lies at the bottom of Loch Ness.

May 30th, 2019 - 10:43amIs there a forbidden planet link to buy this.
booboo
May 30th, 2019 - 10:50amnot yet should today or tomorrow i would think
Daz
May 15th, 2019 - 10:27amZygons always make me feel a bit queasy with all those suckers, a bit like Tim Shaws face full of teeth EWWWwwwww! Awesome figurine tho!
AndyR
May 14th, 2019 - 9:51pmAwesome figure in my opinion. Re Movie Daleks – Wasn’t Rare Dalek 7 particularly a movie Dalek with base, lights, colour scheme etc.
Anonymous
May 14th, 2019 - 10:11pmYes, but used in TV series. It’s a specific dalek from planet of the daleks, not a generic dalek from Cushing’s movies. Two different copyrights
Anonymous
May 15th, 2019 - 1:11amBut it was based on an on screen design, they can’t just make a movie Dalek without permission.
Anonymous
May 15th, 2019 - 1:15amIt was a dalek design used in the TV show therefore a different copyright to the movies

May 15th, 2019 - 9:33amSorry got my daleks mixed up! Chase not planet but same difference!

May 14th, 2019 - 4:36pmHoping for another Console to be released. Exteriors too and Pin Collection! 🙂
Such an AWESOME collection! 😀
TORCHWOODFAN1
May 15th, 2019 - 3:44pmIs there another console on the cards, Neil?
Doctor thirteen13
May 14th, 2019 - 3:01amWill we be getting a 8th Doctor from the TV movie I hope so and Bruce master (Eric Robert’s) Richard Hurndall version of the Doctor from the five Doctors they should include him as you did David Bradley version and I hope we get Missy too before we reach the end
Dav McKenzie
May 14th, 2019 - 1:40pmI wouldn’t be surprised if a Five Doctors Set is lined up with all the figurines from the Game of Rassilon
The Flying Shark
May 14th, 2019 - 3:35pmIt’s interesting there’s not been anything (bar the subscriber special Dalek) from The Five Doctors yet, which is odd seeing as it’s such an important story with lots of potential…maybe they’re saving up for a screen replica Figurine set towards the end or something as you say?
Michael Pearson
May 14th, 2019 - 6:26pmA Raston would be nice at least.
NEIL CORRY
May 15th, 2019 - 12:20pmTo Dav, a Game of Rassilon set has been on our minds for some time, but we think that the logistics of doing the set, not to mention the expense (and whether the figurines should look like those in the game or more like the figurines in the collection) makes it just too difficult. We never say never, however.
And to Dr 1313: I’m not ignoring you. I just don’t have the answer… yet. And less of the “they should”, please. We are trying our utmost to include everything we can. Reminder: there will be disappointments as it’s a partwork not an ongoing magazine.
Badwolf359
May 15th, 2019 - 6:00pmI understand how the breathtaking sense of entitlement around here could be very wearing, Neil. People don’t realise how lucky they are.
Having said that I cannot see-threepio why I shouldn’t demand a Kamelion ASAP for Kryten’s sake!
booboo
May 15th, 2019 - 6:20pmits always been a problem with people having their own exceptions as to what should happen, and not just with the figurine collection
Who rules
May 15th, 2019 - 8:05pmAs often as I’ve said be grateful for what we get, many fans will still feel it’s their right to demand their own personal choices whether that be figures, books, CDs, dvd/bluray or the TV series itself. There are many fans who will be happy with the figures announced, CDs or DVDs released and as I was, with the ongoing TV series, trouble is a lot of others will stamp their feet and shout loudly (or should that be type aggressively?) when they don’t like what they see being released or made. Rather afraid there is no solution. But the consequences of such behaviour is that the press end up with nonsensical non-story stories about fans being up in arms about this that and t’other!
Michael Watson
May 13th, 2019 - 10:46pmWhy is this being welcomed by so many when it is indistinguishable from the previous zygon. There are so many characters not covered yet, why are they so intent on giving us every possible variation of previously issued characters.
Badwolf359
May 14th, 2019 - 12:20amThe original zygon design is much nicer than the modern one which looks like an original zygon made of orange ice cream after a couple hours stood outside on a sunny day.
Neil
May 14th, 2019 - 12:43amThis is a much better looking and better designed zygon that the modern one
Doug Who
May 14th, 2019 - 1:00pmHaving the original (and usually better) designs is essential I think and Jim Acheson’s Zygon is a true classic and an iconic design. I hope there are many more to come from the ‘classic’ series. Even some of the less convincing realisations look really fantastic as models (such as the Mandrel) and I really hope the same can be done for the Nimon and Foamasi for example!
Anonymous
May 14th, 2019 - 3:08pmThey are both great designs. And many people will want both or a specific version.

May 13th, 2019 - 3:17pmTop collection when do we get Troughton Jamie companion set
philip shaw
May 13th, 2019 - 6:38pmOctober is rumoured. Am still waiting for the 10th Dr and Rose companion set to be available again after a very brief appearance…
Stuart10
May 13th, 2019 - 2:08amWhen does this issue come out?
Also is their any news on any of the specials that are coming up, really wanting a racnoss and a vespiform.
The Flying Shark
May 13th, 2019 - 6:47amA Pyrovile is rumoured.
Neil Corry
May 15th, 2019 - 12:32pmI’m sad to say that a Racnoss is very unlikely to happen. The legs would be, simply, too delicate. We have tried to find ways to work around this, but that always adds significantly to the price. It just doesn’t make sense for us. I’m sorry.
And the Vespiform was great but it’s just a giant wasp. So, that’s really unlikely again. Sorry.
Pyrovile is definitely happening.
Anonymous
May 15th, 2019 - 2:04pmHow about casting the Racnoss body+torso+head as one piece and then the legs separately. ‘Some assembly required’ for the customer.
Same principle as a model kit, with the fiddly pieces still attached to a plastic sprue. Perhaps including a spare set of legs just in case? Also a base to put the legs into to secure the positions relative to the body (and provide a bit of strength).
Sorry Neil, you’re being inundated with lots of ideas, wish lists, suggestions. It’s your own fault for producing a really popular partwork! 🙂
The ergon
May 15th, 2019 - 7:12pmAnd this worked so well with the Wirrn , so sad. Does this also exclude
the Planet of the Spiders ‘Queen’. You can,t cater for everybody but i would be very disappointed if we couldn,t include this.
The ergon
May 15th, 2019 - 7:31pmSod racnoss queen, Lazarus creature etc..this is for me a quintessential must for this collection. Sorry folks.
Badwolf359
May 15th, 2019 - 7:45pmIt’s just a big generic spider though, I’m sure there are plenty of those going cheap on Ebay etc you could pretend was from Metebelis 3. Same goes for wasps, dinosaurs, bluebottle flies etc or you could just whack and stuff one in your house (not a dinosaur obviously that would be hideous).
The ergon
May 15th, 2019 - 8:55pmIts not even the same. Generic? Those final scenes with the 3rd Doctor and the queen Spider are so memorable and on a different level to generic spiders ever seen in Who ,including the one attached to Sarah janes back. Anything you say fella.You might think so.
Anonymous
May 16th, 2019 - 12:04amSorry have to agree it’s just a generic spider

Garrett
May 15th, 2019 - 8:05pmHi, how many of the following may be done before 180, & how many are on the list if the collection goes past 180? I’m hoping for The Toymaker, Bok, Mutt, Styggron, Eldrad, Fendahl core, Nimon, Aukon, Warriors Sea Devil, Tractator, Stealth Cyberman, Shockeye, Glass Dalek, The Rani, Kandyman, Roberts Master, Cyber Shade,The Flood, Snowman, and companion sets of Tegan and Peri. I know at least 2 of these are unlikely but I thought I’d add my vote! I really hope the DWFC runs past 200 issues if you read this Neil I hope you know we all appreciate your hard work!

May 10th, 2019 - 4:21pmDoes anyone know what the next special model will be??
booboo
May 10th, 2019 - 5:28pmnot heard anything, or what the next Subscriber Dalek is
Neil Corry
May 11th, 2019 - 6:40amWe’ll be announcing the next special soon. I can safely say it’s awesome.
Who1
May 11th, 2019 - 8:41amGlass dalek – revelation
Half spiridon dalek – planet
Davros – classic
Teleporting dalek – remembrance
Different asylum daleks – asylum
Recon dalek – resolution
Who1
May 11th, 2019 - 8:45amIt would be awesome if they had the rights to big finish daleks and movie daleks. It would make the collection much more interesting and expand the opportunitys for special daleks. I think big finish have designed one of the more interesting daleks, the stained glass version as well as the time controller, although i feel that was a sort of remake especially after watching remembrance again. Dalek alpha would be another great one to add
booboo
May 11th, 2019 - 8:56amThe films i think we could rule out for now, different license not even BBC so EM would probably have to make sure demand was there for the entire main cast list and Daleks to justify the cost.
I would be the first to sign up though
Not sure how BF would work as they are images rather than a physical item, might mean expensive negotiations with the artists if they own the rights etc.
Something BF and EM would need to do jointly perhaps, would be interesting to know the minimum number of sales required per figure to justify production.
Who rules
May 11th, 2019 - 10:16amThe big finish copyrights could be complicated. A dalek for example is copyrighted first and foremost by the Terry nation estate. Then you might have nick Briggs say as the copyrighted creator of a specific big finish dalek. Then you have the cover artist who then designs the look of the dalek for the cover, probably from notes by the author and taking in the already copyrighted original design. Same applies to most of the big finish cover art, whether it ge a monster or a doctor/companion look.

May 11th, 2019 - 7:59pm1st doctor sitting in dalek from the space museum should be a figure!

Dav McKenzie
May 10th, 2019 - 1:25pmEarly August
Badwolf359
May 10th, 2019 - 3:10pmJuly 11th according to NC
The ergon
May 10th, 2019 - 12:55pmIs there a possibility of a Kraag or even a Skagra in full flowing cape and floppy hat and orb?
NEIL CORRY
May 10th, 2019 - 1:30pmOn the list, but unlikely to happen before 180, so it’s a bit up in the air. Sorry.
The ergon
May 10th, 2019 - 3:39pmWell thanks . At least there is an outsiders chance knowing its on the list.
Anonymous
May 10th, 2019 - 5:30pmso Neil has just hinted for the first time that this collection will go past 180 issues so great news.
Ronald
May 10th, 2019 - 5:53pmGreat to know those two are included in the license at least! I think a Krarg & Skagway would be my most wanted. Always thought villain/monster double packs would be cool…Greel & Sin or Styggron & Android or even the two Eldrads!
Really hoping it goes beyond 180 now…just a fabulous collection!
Who rules
May 10th, 2019 - 5:53pmNot really a hint, I think we can assume they have plans for beyond 180 but whether they have permission to continue will depend on licensing. They have to plan ahead for either outcome. If they don’t get the extension no harm done but if they do it means no break in production. Don’t assume they will continue (hopefully they will) licensing can be tricky.
booboo
May 10th, 2019 - 6:02pmi hope they will keep the license either way, there is still a, lot of millage in specials / megas and companion sets
The 14th doctor
May 10th, 2019 - 11:15amHe looks great but I don’t think he looks like broton, he looks more like one of the other zygons in the story. I may pick it up as I don’t have many of these figurines.
Anonymous
May 10th, 2019 - 1:36pmNo it’s definitely broton
the 14th doctor ! ! !
May 10th, 2019 - 1:51pmi know
Badwolf359
May 10th, 2019 - 3:07pmI agree with 14th, they should have just marketed this as “zygon”, Broton had a massive head compared to the other Zygons, to stand out from them one assumes.
70’s child
May 10th, 2019 - 10:05amMore Tom Baker monsters BIG please: Kraal (Stygron); Cailleach; and Vogan (Vorus). Would be great to have a 3rd Doctor special like the IMC robot with claws (Colony in Space) or even a “primitive” from the same story.

booboo
May 10th, 2019 - 8:28amInteresting reply here
The ergon
May 10th, 2019 - 8:50amCan,t come quick enough and sounds promising. If they are planning to put him out between Issues 155-180 suggests they are making sure the figurine is out there in case Eaglemoss don,t extend beyond that and will the Gooderson, Molloy and 2nd variant Bleach ever see light of day as far as a release is concerned. When would we get an announcement that Eaglemoss are planning to extend its publication?
booboo
May 10th, 2019 - 9:32amprobably between 160-170, it will be down to subscriber numbers which guarantees sales i suspect
the other factor is they have to continue to do these for sunscribers at the same cost as 6 years ago which is something people rarely think about
NEIL CORRY
May 10th, 2019 - 1:32pmTo The Ergon: A variant Bleach isn’t really on the cards. They really are too similar. But never say never. And what about Young Davros? 🙂
Badwolf359
May 10th, 2019 - 3:16pmYou could just draw some eyes on the existing Bleach with a fine liner if you wanted a variant!
The ergon
May 10th, 2019 - 3:48pmThere is that difference as Badwolf359 suggests with the open eyes or incapacitated, minus chair but i,d go with the young Davros if the handmines were to be included, for sure.
KORSAIR
May 10th, 2019 - 4:01pmI was over the moon when Neil tweeted that to me and so glad it’s being done.

May 9th, 2019 - 11:12pmIs Eldred coming? She would make an awesome figurine! Why haven’t they made her?
philip shaw
May 9th, 2019 - 11:27pm…or him?
The Flying Shark
May 10th, 2019 - 7:48amMaybe both as a double pack? Although I think the female version is more likely if they only do one as she’s more iconic. And if there is a double pack, I’d rather her be with Sarah Jane in Andy Pandy outfit with the hand. I know there’s already a Sarah figure, but second variants don’t hurt, as all the Doctors have proved.
Badwolf359
May 9th, 2019 - 10:23pmLove it apart from the head needs to be fatter and taller (but wierdly looks OK from the side)

May 9th, 2019 - 11:30pmI’m glad they didn’t add the ‘invisible’ green microphone in his suckers !

May 10th, 2019 - 3:19pmI liked the microphone, looked like an added piece of fungus.
NEIL CORRY
May 11th, 2019 - 6:37amThe microphone is there. We decided to paint it Zygon-colour because it’s more a production “error”, and anyone who wants to add a dot of green is welcome to do so. I know I will 🙂
Anonymous
May 9th, 2019 - 9:52pmLovely figurine. What’s the probability of Styre before the end of the collection?
Badwolf359
May 9th, 2019 - 11:08pmThink we’re more likely to get the taller Sontarans from the later stories before Styre as the latter is just slightly different to the Linx we have had already (played by same actor).
The Flying Shark
May 10th, 2019 - 7:50amI really want a set of classic Sontarans, same with the Davros variants as well as a lot of missing monsters from Tom’s era and some more unusual choices, like the Margaret Slitheen that’s been rumoured, or the Doctor in harlequin outfit from Black Orchid. And I can’t believe we don’t have the Raston Warrior Robot yet, or a black Cyberman!

NEIL CORRY
May 11th, 2019 - 6:39amStor first. We want to do something different for Two Doctors, but that’s dependent on the collection going past 180 :-/
The ergon
May 11th, 2019 - 11:18amAs you say dependant on the collection continuing, do you mean Androgums Shockeye or Chessene before stike or Varl?. Your silence/ no reply could mean you are keeping schtum.
Badwolf359
May 11th, 2019 - 3:44pmOAP Troughton single release and or Holiday waistcoat 6th Doctor and Peri companion set I assume!
John
May 15th, 2019 - 8:38pmI know that it may seem strange and I know that many people prefer the early Sontarans, but I’ve always preferred the ones from The Two Doctors, in particular Stike. If the collection goes beyond 180, I hope they do Stike at some point.
Who rules
May 9th, 2019 - 8:29pmDaughter’s very pleased, she’s both loved and been mildly terrified of the zygons since she watched terror when she was six years old! Another one for her collection.
The Werewolf
May 9th, 2019 - 8:44pmHi, does she have the other Zygon as well?
Who rules
May 9th, 2019 - 9:48pmYes. There’s not a huge design difference really, a bit like the ice warrior, just tweaks really, but she was excited to get the new who version and is really happy with broton as well.
Who rules
May 9th, 2019 - 9:51pmShould say she was eight when the new zygons arrived and was leaping round the house when she saw the announcement they were going to be in the day of the doctor!
