Robert Harrop Axon Monster – Claws of Axos Limited Edition
Available to order while stocks last from www.robertharrop.com
“All things must die, Doctor. Mankind, this planet, Axos merely hastens the process.”
An approaching alien spaceship is detected on monitoring equipment at UNIT HQ, where Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart is entertaining two visitors; a civil servant making a security inspection and an American agent sent to discuss the threat of the Master. The ship lands in England where the UNIT team enter the spaceship and are met by its occupants: beautiful golden-skinned 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 animals to grow to enormous sizes and thus end food shortages. The Doctor is suspicious, and rightly so: Axos, Axonite and the Axons – whose true appearance is hideous – are all part of a single parasitic entity brought to Earth by the Master to feed on the planet’s energy.A Limited Edition Hand painted figurine / statue from the Doctor Who Collection.

March 18th, 2021 - 2:49amThere’s already 4 of these for sale at ott prices on ebay
The people that do this are not collecters they are only in it for the profit
Which is making it harder and more expensive for true collecters that miss out on pre order
My fear is that these such people will start buying in bulk at pre order
Maybe Rh should have a company policy of 1 figure per customer

March 17th, 2021 - 8:07pmMine arrived a couple of days ago, it’s an amazing figure, glad I ordered it fast as it’s sold out, and here’s the reason why… out of interest I thought I’d have a look on eBay to see if there were any axon figures on there. And yes there are for well over double the price! the same person selling them, figures with consecutive numbers. Someone in my opinion underhandedly trying to rip people off! Personally I think Harrop should limit the number of figure sold to one person at 2. To give people who want them a chance of getting them, instead of getting ripped off!
Coleman
March 17th, 2021 - 5:54pmHa ha, just arrived this afternoon, number 189.
(How did I know it’d be another high number).
Coleman
May 20th, 2021 - 12:45pmJust realised it’s 185, the Axon Man was 189!
the ergon
March 10th, 2021 - 10:46amMy axon has just arrived. Its easily the best axon thats been released by far. The detailing and colour are spot on. And i got number 4 as limited edition number, the lowest number yet. I have had 8 and 13 in the past and the lowest you can get is 2 as Harrops keep number 1 for
shop display and reference i believe.
Coleman
March 10th, 2021 - 11:59amNice one ergon on getting another low number, I’m on the other end of the scale, I always get a 150+ number. I wonder if they are picked totally at random as someone on here once mentioned, instead of first come first served.
If so, the law of averages should mean I’d have at least one low number by now.
Zygon_invader
March 10th, 2021 - 12:19pmMine arrived today also got number 77
Sidney
March 10th, 2021 - 12:22pmIf harrop keep number 1 from display then it must be a limited edition of 199 or do they make 201 just asking
Sidney
March 10th, 2021 - 12:25pmFor display
the ergon
March 10th, 2021 - 1:04pmColeman i believe the numbering you recieve is random.
P7E
March 10th, 2021 - 1:16pmI reckon that Robert harrop make 201 and keep one for display but not numbered so it is possible to actually get figure number 1 if their only selling 199 to their customers than it would be a limited edition of 199
John
March 10th, 2021 - 2:27pmReceived mine today, was a nice surprise wasn’t expecting it. Another excellent figure. I got number 101.
Coleman
March 10th, 2021 - 4:52pmSidney, don’t know how true it is, but say an Edition is 200, they could make as many as 220.
It’s mainly for breakages in the post. If someone returns one damaged then they’ll get a replacement. The original will be destroyed to keep the edition at 200 still.
Anon
March 9th, 2021 - 1:07pmWasn’t expecting to receive this yet but DPD have just delivered mine (Didn’t get any despatch and/or delivery email from Harrop or DPD – didn’t even know it would be delivered by DPD just paid the £7.50p&p charge).
This is absolutely fantastic – probably one of Harrop’s best. Looks even better in hand than on the website photos.
Sean
March 4th, 2021 - 2:50pmWas making room in my cabinet for the axon monster ( I knew I should of waited for it to be delivered first ) and my Lzlyr toppled over and the arm broke clean off ( I wonder if gorilla glue will fix it ) any suggestions please
Gary H.
March 4th, 2021 - 4:37pmGorilla glue should be fine for the Lord, Sean. Infact any Super Glue should do the trick.
LOCTITE do a ceramics glue which is specifically for Porcelain, China, pots, cups etc.
Sidney
March 3rd, 2021 - 1:56pmThe only ones I don’t have are the two pewter doctors I just didn’t like the look of them
Gary H.
March 3rd, 2021 - 5:31pmTheres only one pewter Doctor. There’s also a monochrome Pat Troughton. Might be that your getting mixed up with?
Sidney
March 3rd, 2021 - 7:20pmMy mistake gary the only one I don’t have is the pewter doctor I somehow had it in my head that there had been two done
Coleman
March 1st, 2021 - 12:18pmBeen thinking about buying another Vox robot and painting it black, maybe get two and paint one green. Noticed there’s only these and the Cyberman door that hasn’t sold out on Harrop yet, so can still get for RRP.
Sidney
March 1st, 2021 - 2:25amThat sold out quickly it must be a record
the ergon
March 1st, 2021 - 9:21amI think the last that went that quick was The Omega Figurine.
Coleman
March 1st, 2021 - 10:58amNot a record Sidney with it selling out next day. The Ergon might be able to back me up but I seem to remember some selling out the same day? Seem to remember Omega and Morbius monster selling out quicker.
the ergon
March 1st, 2021 - 11:09amMorbius that went quick as well, coleman. I,ve a feeling the Yeti with sphere accessory will go the same way.
Coleman
March 1st, 2021 - 11:51amWhat will the price point of the Yeti be ergon. Was the original Yeti alot more expensive than the normal figures with it being so bulky? (Can’t really remember).
the ergon
March 1st, 2021 - 12:27pmI didn,t collect these from the start so i don,t know. I paid £99 for my yeti off Ebay along with the Alpha centauri figurine (also £99) which is so rare now and would go for outrageous prices. The only ones i dont have are The TARDIS, K-9, the Doctors, which was a decision i made early (just collect the Monsters) and The very limited Edition Cyberleader from Revenge, which i have bidded on in the past but the selling price went way beyond the £180 budget i was willing to shell out for and is also one of the few rarities now.
Coleman
March 1st, 2021 - 12:53pmI seem to remember Davros being about £90, being there most expensive figure to date. Can’t remember The Yetis RRP though. Just been looking on Harrops site but can’t find it. They used to have a list of all there figures, both for sale and sold out, but it’s disappeared.
morrid
March 1st, 2021 - 2:35pmColeman,
Harrop pages list the Yeti as £69.99 RRP
The figures before and after it, Zygon and Jagaroth were £59.99.
Like The Ergon, I was late to the world of Harrop, only discovering them at the time of the Sycorax release.
Coleman
March 1st, 2021 - 2:51pmThanks morrid, there’s not a big difference between the price of the Yeti and other Harrop figures then. So hopefully the new Yeti shouldn’t be two expensive. I started collecting the figures late as well, the Special Weapons Dalek was my first new one from Harrop. Back then though I managed to get most of the figures straight from Harrops as they were still in stock.
Sidney
March 1st, 2021 - 5:02pmA couple of years ago i paid £269 for Alfa centauri and £349 for the pewter zygon
Gary H.
March 1st, 2021 - 5:21pmYes Sidney, I think most people buy these because there Dr Who fans and they just like to display them.
But because of the very small Editions worldwide, i can see the prices just keep rising. So they are a very good investment aswell.
morrid
March 2nd, 2021 - 7:05pmAgreed Gary H. As a relatively new collector it’s been interesting to see which figures become sought after compared to others and what makes them so as it’s not always the ones produced in the smallest numbers that garner the most interest. Alpha, from a now relatively standard sized production run seems to be a highly regarded figure and for Harrop it was nice to see the recent Axon selling quickly. It’s also nice hearing what other people’s own Holy Grails are.
Gary H.
March 2nd, 2021 - 8:22pmOne thing I’ve noticed morrid is the only collectibles that seem to keep rising in value and are good investments are those produced in low quantities and are relatively expensive to begin with, such as Robert Harrop or Big Chief studios. Not so much Eaglemoss or the CO stuff.
With these having much cheaper RRPS, alot more people buy them, hence there not as rare.
Coleman
February 28th, 2021 - 11:50amActually got out the Time meddler to watch last night then at last minute remembered the England rugby union match was just starting, so watched that instead. The Time Meddler will have to wait another day.
Dunc
February 28th, 2021 - 3:39pmI wish I’d watched the time meddler after that perfomance. In fact I’d happily have watch the twin dilemma.
Coleman
February 28th, 2021 - 4:41pmYes it was a shocker, the ref also had a really bad game (What was he thinking for some of them decisions? Anyway hope England star playing like they can play and stop giving away so many penalties. I’ll fit in The Time Meddler either Tuesday or Thursday night, usually have abit of spare time then.
Gary H.
February 27th, 2021 - 4:04pmLooks like the Axon creatures sold out.
Gary H.
February 27th, 2021 - 7:18pmI wonder if anyone’s bought two to make a Krynoid custom?
morrid
February 27th, 2021 - 1:44pmIf anyone is still after this, website is currently showing only 1 left.
the ergon
February 27th, 2021 - 4:29pmKnew this one would go quick. Whats it going to be like when the Yeti and Control sphere go up in April?
Zygon_invader
February 26th, 2021 - 10:22pmReally looking forward to receiving this can’t wait alsoI’d love a robot mummy to go with the sutekh figure already released
the ergon
February 26th, 2021 - 11:59pmI,d like a mummy but i,d prefer other versions of sutekh, preferably the one with the burning feet and originals that haven,t been done. just so many to choose from. Harrops are slow to get these out. why not try your hand at making your own Harrop customs. check out colemans on the collections page, read up, watch a few tutorials and invest in some Fimo or Polymer Clay, some sculpting tools and some decent Acrylic paint . Its an interesting hobby if you have the time, patience and money.
Zygon_invader
February 27th, 2021 - 1:24amSadly Ergon I have no patience what so ever to even begin to create my own figures
The burning feet sutekh version would be marvellous
I know that eaglemoss can’t make a kandy man would that be the same for harrop aswell
the ergon
February 27th, 2021 - 10:08amI,m afraid thats pretty much across the Board for all Who merchandise. Bassetts the sweets company felt the Kandyman bore too much of a resemblance to their mascot Bertie Bassett and their CEOs complained but allowed it to be used for The Happiness Patrol story only but that was it which one of the stipulations meant BBC merchandising would not allow any products to be made in that image despite an investigation which suggested the likeness was coincidental. Polymer and fimo are the best for making these as you can leave them and come back to your creations when you like.I,m doing eaglemoss size figurines. So far i,ve done a Kandyman but which still requires more delicate painting than the larger size, A plasmation and the Larvae gun creature from The Web Planet which I,m still wondering what colour i need to paint. There are a few I will attempt on my Harrop list which are pretty low on peoples wishlists and quite obscure and a few of the more popular ones. Coleman who regulary comments on here apparently is going to do his own Zusanna and Menoptera. Just try a few simple ones and build from there.
Gary H.
February 26th, 2021 - 12:23pmJust thinking about it, wonder if down the line they’ll do the CO trick and paint it green and pass it off as a Krynoid.
Wouldn’t complain if they do, it’d be a good way to get another figure in the collection.
Some people might even get two and customise one?
the ergon
February 26th, 2021 - 1:14pmThey reused the axon costume, i think, in the series to make the krynoid, coleman. that CO version i was never happy with, like i say it looked like it had a face and that bulbous nose didn,t help. If they could retool the head and make it akin to this and do one for the B and M sets with a Jo/Brigadier and doctor i reckon it would sell well.
Coleman
February 26th, 2021 - 5:40pmYour right Ergon, they used the same costume for both the Axon Creature and the Krynoid, just repainted it. So their wouldn’t be a problem if Harrops released a Green version in time because it would be fairly accurate from that point of view.
the ergon
February 26th, 2021 - 7:32pmYes but with added Tendrils. I,d love that.
the ergon
February 27th, 2021 - 10:53amWatched The Seeds of Doom last Month and i just kept thinking ‘If only they had used more polystyrene snow and that Camera hadn,t pulled back. Who knew the Antarctic could be so sludgey and muddy?
the ergon
February 27th, 2021 - 10:57amAlso The wobbly few second shot of the Krynoid Tent monster which kills Dunbar and then attacks the Doctor and Sarah spoilt a perfectly good scene.
Coleman
February 27th, 2021 - 11:03am(Not the seeds of Doom) but watched the Seeds of Death only a week ago. Trying to watch all the black and white stories over the next couple of years, since they haven’t been watched for ages.
Just watched the Dominators most recently, enjoying most of them but the Web planets a strange one.
the ergon
February 27th, 2021 - 5:49pmSeeds of Death is quite good. Love those distorted Ice warrior gun death effects and Wendy Padbury and Patrick Troughton look like they are having a whale of a time with all that foam and all those inflating talcum filled balloons (sorry Seeds).
Coleman
February 26th, 2021 - 10:55amThis version might be a better scale as well ergon.
Remember the CO version towering above a standard height figure.
the ergon
February 26th, 2021 - 1:17pmIt was larger than life, yes but not the main issue i had with it.
Coleman
February 26th, 2021 - 10:36amImpressive, most impressive
the ergon
February 26th, 2021 - 10:01amI like this version way better than the CO version which they also used for the krynoid. It always looked like it had a fat round nose on the face so i had to turn the head around.
Mrs Croot
February 26th, 2021 - 2:41pmI always thought the back of their heads also looked like a face. The Krynoid has sentimetal value but I agree they are both fairly inaccuarate.
Day Dalek Gold
February 26th, 2021 - 8:37amHas a good shape to it.
