Action Figure Set: City Of Death – Pictures
Action Figure Collectors Set: City Of Death
The Fourth Doctor and Romana II are in Paris investigating a fracture in time. During a visit to the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa, the Doctor purloins from a stranger, Countess Scarlioni, a bracelet that is actually an alien scanner device. The trail leads to the home of Count Scarlioni, who is selling duplicate Mona Lisas to fund time experiments – all originals!
The Count is revealed as an alien called Scaroth, last of the Jagaroth race. He was splintered in time when his ship exploded above primeval Earth. His intention is to go back in time to prevent the destruction of his ship.
Realising that the Jagaroth spaceship exploding started life on Earth, the Doctor and Romana race back in time to stop the Count’s plan.

August 30th, 2011 - 12:13pmHi Booboo, I live in France so I get all my figures off of the forbidden planet international website and get them delivered to France since there are no shops selling doctor who figures here. Forbidden planet international do not deliver exclusive figures and sdcc figures to europe so do you have any idea on how to get them delivered to france ??
booboo
August 30th, 2011 - 12:20pmi dont unfortunately, because these are “exclusives” every county is not allowed to ship abroad ie USA cant ship to UK etc but this doest help you, its a common problem, perhaps some one near a Fp could buy one for you and send it on

February 26th, 2012 - 2:39amHow is it that Forbidden Planet EXCLUSIVES end up in my local ABC shop, all the way down in Tasmania?

August 26th, 2011 - 7:06pmCity of Death is my fav stories of the Douglas Adams script editor era. The figure of Count Scarlioni, looks fantasic, with the head of the Scaroth on, it really brings this figure to life. Shame the face of the doctor looks abit lifeless, its the same mold being used so it is wearing abit. Nice lookinf set, just abit over priced. I’ll still be getting one! 4/5 for me.
McGann is the Doctor.
August 29th, 2011 - 11:14amWish I could say I was getting this set, it IS brilliant because you have an excellent new figure of a villain, and a superb looking Doctor.
But I speak not only for myself by saying I am WAY a bit behind in buying classic figure exclusives. The last one I got was a Peri and Sil figure set, before that it was the Attack of the Cybermen set, before that it was the 7th Doctor and Tardis which I opend for Christmas. :O
You see how long it takes ? These sets would really sell better with low-income fans like me if they weren’t so damn pricey.

August 26th, 2011 - 3:06amjust beautiful!!! and so happy about the scarf the only thing that spoilt the otherwise brilliant Destiny set, I’ve wanted this since 1979!!!

August 23rd, 2011 - 9:52pmThere is an awesome Sutek custom on ebay heres the link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4th-Doctor-custom-figure-Sutekh-/110733194763?pt=UK_ToysGames_ActionFigures_ActionFigures_JN&hash=item19c836760b
McGann is the Doctor.
August 25th, 2011 - 3:16pmFans and collectors have wanted a Sutehk figure since the Mummy robot was released,
He would have to be made on his throne/chair OR standing up though ! You couldn’t have a figure of sutehk do both. No leg articulation I would think. 😉
McGann is the Doctor.
August 25th, 2011 - 3:18pmBut hey, they just relased the City of Death set, they’ve sculpted a new Scarf ! Lets get this and wait another year. 😆 !
Torchwood
August 23rd, 2011 - 5:36pmis head removeble ???

August 22nd, 2011 - 5:54pmNew scarf don’t need to make a custom one love the scarf and great figures:)
McGann is the Doctor.
August 22nd, 2011 - 8:22pm😀 That reminds me, Batmanmarch created an excellent cutstom-scarf for his review of the destiny of the daleks set, on YT .
who crazy!
August 23rd, 2011 - 3:36pmYep indeed McGann is the Doctor he sure did. I’ve watched that review.

The Spaceman
August 22nd, 2011 - 10:14amIs the scarf removable?
lett

McGann is the Doctor.
August 22nd, 2011 - 3:49pmI will have to buy two of this figure off ebay, I jsut realised, because if you remove the scarf,
because you can’t really swap it with the neck-round scarf it doesn’t fit right on this figure !
no one
August 22nd, 2011 - 9:08amthis is kinda off topic but is the fourth doctor figures from genesis of the daleks and the sontaran experiment sets scarfs removeable because ive not tried removeing them coz i dont want them broken?
C@A
August 22nd, 2011 - 10:15amIf it has a removable head like with the Planet of Evil figure, then yes, or you could use the boil-and-pop method.
Radburn
August 22nd, 2011 - 5:56amWhere’s my Jamie & Yeti set?
McGann is the Doctor.
August 22nd, 2011 - 3:50pmHow are they gna make a yeti figure ?! It wdnt look right, I dont think. Same with making a Tractator from teh episdoe Frontios, how would they do it ! 🙁
Radburn
August 22nd, 2011 - 11:21pmA picture of the Yeti was leaked in grey sculpted form – Obviously no word on release yet or if ever?

August 24th, 2011 - 10:45amther are romers of a jamie and kroton set

August 25th, 2011 - 5:46amFraser Hines announced he has been approached with a contract for his figure:
I’d like a Jamie & Kroton but would prefer a Jamie & Yeti

September 7th, 2011 - 5:25pmi wude love a kroton fig i clasic wave 3
Thedocwill
August 21st, 2011 - 6:52pmTo be perfectly honest I would like this to happen release Tom with the da vinchi scaroth and 6 paintings 3 mona Lisas and three “this is a fake” paintings
And then romana with three mona Lisa and two with “this is a fake ” and the drawing from the cafe of a time lady and have 20th centery scaroth with gun if lalla would want her figure
Colin Baker is no Faker.
August 21st, 2011 - 8:22pmUm, that’s a hellofalot to cram into one box, I think you’re expectations are a bit off the chats just saying ! 😆
But a Romana would have been nice, we’ll get a Romana figure later this year I imagine.
You should be able to print of some paintings for display use on your figures using Microsoft word.
Colin Baker is no Faker.
August 21st, 2011 - 8:23pmSorry, off the “charts” I meant .
Torchwood-13
August 21st, 2011 - 9:15pmI agree,Infact I would say that CO need to stop releasing 4th doctor figures.CO should release 2nd and 1st doctor sets for example:2nd Doctor with Kroton or first doctor with aztec
Its fair enought to say that the extra £2 added to the price was unesecery
Anonymous
August 21st, 2011 - 9:24pmThey will say the extra £2 is for the extra accessories but they will probablly be plannign it so that the “extras” slowly vanish until we are left with nothing but a £2 extra charge.
McGann is the Doctor.
August 22nd, 2011 - 3:54pmYeah ! 😡 as if the price of exclusives wasn’t already pushing it ! I hope they dont do this, maybe its to help cover their costs, I mean, they have made so much this year.
Just look at the new Series stuff they’ve brought out, and the new build your own sonic/flesh bowl creator sets, its expanded massively ! :O
Thedocwill
August 22nd, 2011 - 11:56pmSorry I meant to say two separate sets
But it was strange sorry bout that
cybermat6
August 21st, 2011 - 3:58pmi love the 4th doctor
Colin Baker is no Faker.
August 21st, 2011 - 8:24pmI love this figure, it’s superb ! Beats all the other 4th Doctor figures, well, just because of the scarf TBH . 😉
C@A
August 21st, 2011 - 12:43pmOne of my favourite stories, so this set is a must to purchase! Love the Scaroth figure, however I think the Julian Glover headsculpt could be improved. On my Christmas list! 😉 Now gonna rewatch it… I wonder if Tom will have his right badge on as a glued-on piece on his lapel?
ross campbell
August 21st, 2011 - 3:50pmwe will find soon my friend soon
McGann is the Doctor.
August 21st, 2011 - 4:17pmI wonder if he will have that badge, yeah. Great scarf,
I will buy this off ebay because there wdnt be any point in having a scaroth figure to me, I dont have City of Death ! 😆
KRYNOIDY
August 21st, 2011 - 11:29amYES!!!!!!! Scaroth FTW!
who crazy!
August 21st, 2011 - 7:26amThis looks like one of the best sets they’ve ever released. At least they replaced the old scarf with the new long one.
The Spaceman
August 21st, 2011 - 12:31amI was a bit disappointing about them releasing another Tom Baker figure but I really like this one for some reason. I will gladly get this set. I will probably get it for Christmas though.
McGann The Doctor.
August 20th, 2011 - 6:40pmI think it’s great they’re still making the classic releases each month, even with the New Series figures now out. smile:
The Doctor is a must-have figure, that scarf will be compatible with other FOurth Doctor figures, 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

August 20th, 2011 - 6:47pmActually this won’t be out until October so there will be nothing in September.
