Figurine Collection Magazine Special 28 Cyber Controller
CEO and co-founder of Cybus Industries, John Lumic poured countless resources into finding a cure for the life-threatening illness that kept him confined to a wheelchair. His pursuit of human augmentation technology led him to develop a new form of one of the Doctor’s classic enemies – the Cybermen!
Lumic set his creations loose on the streets of London, where they began forcibly “upgrading” the populace into a growing army of cybernetic soldiers. Once Lumic himself was injured, his biomechanical monsters turned their attentions on their own creator – and upgraded him into the new Cyber-Controller!

December 2nd, 2021 - 9:41amI opted out of this one but pre-ordered it so I’d get it early they still took money and when it came with 204/205 I realized it was a lower number so keeping that one and will sell the other for slightly cheaper than the retail price and will add the shipping on to it to make it up to the retail price

November 10th, 2021 - 10:56amHave any subscribers received this yet? Seems to be available elsewhere, but still not received mine (or issues 204 & 205).
Doctor Thirteenth
November 20th, 2021 - 9:08pmYes got mine with 204/205 today at 10:15 this morning

November 20th, 2021 - 9:49pmHad mine what seems like ages ago was on preorder for quite a while.

October 17th, 2021 - 2:43pmDefinitely opting out of the special s as part of my subscription how is it that for subscribers this special is not available until 5th November according to my email I had but I order it 2 days ago and it came next day non subscribers get better taken care of don’t make sense to me so hopefully the main range ends at 220
Crosby
October 30th, 2021 - 1:11amWould you believe it I opted out for this special and they still took the money out on Wednesday 28th October so now I’m going to get charged by the bank as did not have money in bank to cover it as got paid on the 29th
Alan Silvester
October 30th, 2021 - 11:11amI have to agree with you – there’s no loyalty towards subscribers. Why are subscribers having to wait so long for this, when it is available next day delivery elsewhere? I’m also in agreement with your comment about ending at 220. There are too many problems now, especially with shipping and deliveries. Costs will keep going up. Time to go out on a high.

October 30th, 2021 - 12:03pmLoyalty to Premium Subscribers are the Rare Daleks.
As for why you don’t get the specials first is coz they have always been delivered with the following 2 figurines. It’s been that way since the 1st special.
I opted out of the Specials a year back and now buy them when I have a few items to get on the shop (consoles etc)… That way I can combine offers/free delivery and use the 15% off discount code too.
I’m hoping the collection does end at 220 but they continue with monster/episode sets direct from their shop going forward.

October 16th, 2021 - 1:30pmThis Figurine came at 12:35 today just finished reading the magazine I have one issue is the person that actually wrote the magazine an Doctor Who Fan because I don’t think so he had put the ice warriors had returned in cold war first since the seeds of death but he was wrong they were in the 2 peladon stories
JamesM
October 15th, 2021 - 9:47amI’ve lost track of when subscribers are due to get this and whether we’ve paid for it yet… can’t find an email like we usually get for it. Has anyone had one? Thanks.
CROSBY
October 15th, 2021 - 11:06amNo I haven’t yet but I’m cancelling my special option and I’ve just ordered it normal so should get it tomorrow or monday
Crosby
October 14th, 2021 - 5:58pmWhat’s going on can’t order this or the pre-order special 29 keeps declining due to possible fraud it’s a joke same card I use every time even with a different card from a different bank so I know it’s not the banks I’ve been to the bank it’s ok their end
booboo
October 14th, 2021 - 6:05pmPeople ordering without an issue including me so not an EM problem. take it back to your bank
CROSBY
October 15th, 2021 - 8:46amIt must be Eaglemoss site as other websites I ordered from yesterday and today went through ok
booboo
October 15th, 2021 - 9:27amgenerally its the bank who decline the transaction, has anything change on your account, eg address or new card / exp date that hasn’t been updated?
who is suggesting fraud? EM or your bank?
CROSBY
October 15th, 2021 - 11:14amIt’s not the bank or eaglemoss I thought it might be my device as it updated security on the device but other websites on same device go through ok I’ve tried laptop and tablet but they do the same due to fraud with both banks I’m with my wife tried ordering it for me and that went through ok weird
Crosby
October 16th, 2021 - 9:40amIt’s coming this afternoon
CROSBY
October 16th, 2021 - 1:31pmIt’s arrived in tacked
Crosby
October 17th, 2021 - 2:39pmI don’t know what’s going on it’s only Eaglemoss I have a problem with ordering stuff saying declined due to suspected fraud on all my devices every other site I order from is going through no problem
booboo
October 17th, 2021 - 3:31pmyes but who is declining it EM or the bank, who is suggesting fraud as no one else seems to be having a problem
Crosby
October 18th, 2021 - 5:17pmI still don’t know who is suggesting fraud it’s a mystery
James
October 14th, 2021 - 9:10amA question for anyone who knows but when we get information on issues 210-220 does anyone know?
Alvin Amey
October 9th, 2021 - 10:17amI decided to take advantage of the promotion thats on the Eaglemoss Collections shop at the moment and order the Throned CyberController special, using the THANKYOU discount code brought the price down to £22.30, great bargain
I’ve also decided to opt-out of specials that I normally get with my subscription
Alvin Amey
October 11th, 2021 - 5:16pmThe Cybercontroller special arrived today, Eaglemoss have done an amazing job, the quality is outstanding, I’d have happily bought it even if it wasn’t included in the current promotion
Anon
October 8th, 2021 - 7:09pmNow “Add to basket”. Just had Eaglemoss / DPD email to advise it’s on it’s way – delivery on Monday.
the ergon
September 2nd, 2021 - 9:53amDiscount goes off just as i cancel and want to reorder. Sod that i,m just going to wait for the next sale when this goes on. It was still on an hour ago Somebody is having a laugh.
ANDREW TOWNSEND
September 2nd, 2021 - 5:52amI certainly hope subscribers don’t have to pay 35 for this when Joe public gets it for 26.And please no spouting how we could cancel and re buy it as subscription should mean something…not to be taken the mickey out of…
sw
October 14th, 2021 - 10:40am100% agree, it just feels like a massive F you to people who have subscribed from the beginning all the way back in 2013.
MDS
September 1st, 2021 - 3:23pmNot had a subscription email yet, but is the price for subscribers going to be the discounted price or the full price minus £1 as usual?
booboo
September 1st, 2021 - 3:34pmno idea this 25% off some pre orders is a site wide thing and is new, strikes me as a bit odd to be honest
Bicky
September 1st, 2021 - 4:34pmJust ordered one. When or if I get an email about the special I will cancel it.
Doctor Mysterio
September 1st, 2021 - 7:56pmI’ll be annoyed if subscribers pay full price when the website is giving preorders a hefty discount.
Crosby
October 15th, 2021 - 11:50amNo £5.00 instead of £1.00 just had email
Anon
July 29th, 2021 - 12:31pmOnly 10cm tall and £34.99!
Will give this one a miss or wait till on offer rather than get the usual £1.00 off via subscription.
Already had the email re: regular subscription issues going up in price but this price hike for specials seems excessive even though manufacturing & transportation costs from China have gone up.
the ergon
July 29th, 2021 - 1:58pmI,m going to wait for Jodies console as well to get the free posting.
Ron
August 31st, 2021 - 7:25pmWhen do the regular subscriptions start to go up in price from?
booboo
August 31st, 2021 - 7:28pmfrom issue 204 i think
Crosby
July 25th, 2021 - 10:20amCan’t wait for this one I thought it was from The Next Doctor
Matt Waghorne
July 24th, 2021 - 7:36pmThis looks amazing.
I’m hoping for the servo robot from Wheel in Space…
Anonymous
July 25th, 2021 - 1:00pmYes, would make a great little figure.
Can’t wait for Wheel to be finally fully animated.
Love that ten minute preview animation, I find it intriguing and want to find out more.
(Even though I know the story).
Chris Howarth
July 23rd, 2021 - 1:11pmAntone know, is the Cyberman itself going to be in scale with previous Cybermen?
John Hogg
July 24th, 2021 - 10:39pmwill be taller as bigger scale
Doctor Stu
July 23rd, 2021 - 10:49amIs this officially the first Eaglemoss doctor who release where someone’s feet will actually be touching the floor XD
Wil
July 23rd, 2021 - 1:38pmWow you might be right
Judooning
July 23rd, 2021 - 10:48amJust amazing!

July 23rd, 2021 - 10:39amThis takes me back to the days of the CO set being up on shelves in Woolworths.
Dalekz
July 23rd, 2021 - 10:30amJust missing his TV and his dinner on his lap but I love it!
Doctor Mysterio
July 23rd, 2021 - 10:23amThis just looks fab. Another great addition! Where to put them all lol
the ergon
July 23rd, 2021 - 10:00amYou could never always get the wires to stay in the character version and the controller would always slide off his throne. This is marvellous.
Alvin Amey
July 23rd, 2021 - 9:24amI read a few years ago that the Eaglemoss was considering making the throned Cyber Controller and I’m glad that they have decided to do it.as it looks awesome.
Wil
July 23rd, 2021 - 9:17amDamn this is cool.
The holy trinity that of specials I hope are coming soon are
The cleaners
Gods of Ragnarock
and Possibly a bit weird and will never happen, but I really want one of the 3w tanks from death in heaven, with a top half a cyberman body and bottom half a skeleton with some sort of plastic glass as water going up to the top of the skeleton
the ergon
July 23rd, 2021 - 10:03amThe cleaner and the Gods are long overdue. I was rather expecting the cleaner to be this special but the cybercontroller more than makes up for this.
JL
July 23rd, 2021 - 11:05amI’d love those, plus a saturnyne creature from vampires of venice, this cyber controller was also one if my most wanted, it’s amazing!
Moodbeam
July 23rd, 2021 - 9:02amCan’t say that I was expecting this but wow, it looks brilliant. EM keep knocking it out of the park. I hope that even if the regular series ends that they retain the license to work on more of the spin off series and special editions. They’ve really kept the merchandise franchise alive for me throughout what have been a slow few years for the franchise. Neil, to you and your team, thank you.
daz
July 23rd, 2021 - 8:43amThe Cleaners, God of Ragnarok and Dalek Shuttle craft from ROTD are top of my list.
Auton
July 23rd, 2021 - 8:22amThis figure look really cool
The Flying Shark
July 23rd, 2021 - 7:30amDidn’t expect this since we got the figurine on its own, but this is very exciting! I wonder how many more specials we’ll get? My ideal list would be a Tractator, the Paradise Towers Cleaner Robot, a Krillitane, the Vespiform and a Saturnyne!
Anonymous
July 23rd, 2021 - 10:41amA vespiform would be excellent, what a cool figure. I’m hoping CO release one aswell in the B&M sets since their re-releasing the Robot already.
Anonymous
July 23rd, 2021 - 10:45amCouldn’t the Tractator, just be a regular figure though Flying Shark?
Robert Harrop made theirs in scale with the rest of their figures and charged the same price as usual.
The Flying Shark
July 23rd, 2021 - 4:47pmConsidering they made the Dragonfire creature and the Melkur specials when they didn’t need to be, I think it’s more likely the Tractator will be a special
Anonymous
July 23rd, 2021 - 5:34pmThey also overscaled Aggedor aswell which was another special that could have been included the standard editions.
John
July 25th, 2021 - 4:19pmHello, I know most people like the Gravis, but could we not have an ordinary Tractator instead. I really like the look of them
