Pyramids Of Mars Figures: Mars Set – Pictures
Action Figures: Pyramids Of Mars: Mars Set
This item is available to order on-line from Forbidden Planet or Forbidden Planet International
Released October £19.99
“Your evil is my good. I am Sutekh the Destroyer. Where I tread, I leave nothing but dust and darkness I find that good!”
In this fourth Doctor adventure, the TARDIS materialises on Earth in the year 1911 inside an old priory owned by Egyptologist Marcus Scarman.
Scarman has been possessed by Sutekh, last survivor of the god-like Osirans, who is held prisoner under a pyramid in Egypt by a signal transmitted from one on Mars. Sutekh desires his freedom and instructs Scarman to construct servicer robots – which look like Egyptian mummies – to build a missile with which to destroy the Martian pyramid. The Doctor foils this plan by blowing up the missile.
He then falls under Sutekh’s control himself and is made to transport Scarman to Mars in the TARDIS. Scarman cuts off the signal but the Doctor, now freed of Sutekh’s influence, realises that there will be a short delay before it stops, rushes back and uses the time control from the TARDIS to move the end of Sutekh’s space-time tunnel into the far future. Sutekh, travelling down the tunnel, is unable to reach the end in his lifetime, and dies.
Contents:
1 x Sutekh with jackal head action figure.
2 x Mars Guardian Robot Mummy action figures.

Radburn
September 12th, 2012 - 6:33pmSo I presume the ‘Earth’ Set will be the original Sarcophagus, Sutekh with Mask & Mummy(s) with a 4th. Doctor? (Oh Dear – Another 4th. Doctor…)
andrew
September 12th, 2012 - 6:34pmnothing wrong with that, although I already have the POM one! lol cant have too many toms!
Radburn
September 12th, 2012 - 6:46pmI have Toms coming out of my ears…….
Commander Cool
September 12th, 2012 - 6:49pm@Radburn That must be painful…
THE ERGON
September 12th, 2012 - 10:28pmYOU COULD HAVE A TOM FIGURE WRAPPED IN MUMMY BANDAGES. THAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT.
Anonymous
September 12th, 2012 - 11:12pmWouldn’t that just be a Mummy figure again?
Anonymous
September 12th, 2012 - 6:19pmThat’s a very generous price, and I might get it. However, I’ll only get this if we don’t get another Sutekh. I want one with his mask on.
andrew
September 12th, 2012 - 6:32pmI have a feeling we will, as this one is called mars set, an earth set makes sense with his mask on.
itdalek
September 13th, 2012 - 9:06pmi think it’s as low as it is because underground toys must know people don’t have money to pay the prices they ask
thehostproductions
September 12th, 2012 - 5:56pm£20.00 so getting this one!
THE ERGON
September 12th, 2012 - 6:18pmYOURE NOT THE ONLY ONE. I LOVE THE CLASSICS. I ALWAYS PRIORITIZE THESE OVER THE NEW SERIES STUFF, MAINLY BECAUSE OF THE VARIETY. HOPE THE EARTH SETS NOT FAR BEHIND, RELEASE WISE.
andrew
September 12th, 2012 - 6:32pmwhat do you think or hope will be in it?
THE ERGON
September 12th, 2012 - 10:06pmI DONT KNOW WHAT WILL BE IN, BUT I WOULD LIKE WHAT MOST PEOPLE WANT. IE: SARAH, SUTEKH AND A GLOWING SARCOPHAGUS. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK I WONDER?
Vashta Nerada comes for
September 12th, 2012 - 5:32pmI want to get this because it could be for my 8th Doctor Series. It’s not like I’m on Youtube (!)
doctorpond393
September 12th, 2012 - 5:20pmis it just me or does this seem TOO cheap to be true?
booboo
September 12th, 2012 - 5:21pmits on both FP’s now, price is correct and yes it very good
Anonymous
September 12th, 2012 - 4:54pmit will be released on the 18th of september
Tardis’nt
September 12th, 2012 - 3:20pmas good as this set is, i think that i’ll pass on it, i think that the earth set will consist of: sarah, sutekh with mask and sutekh’s gaurd.
booboo
September 12th, 2012 - 3:23pmi would go for sutekh with mask ( may be in his chair), sarcophagus and 4th Doctor
Tardis’nt
September 12th, 2012 - 3:24pm4th doctor seems more likely, but we will have to wait and see 🙂
booboo
September 12th, 2012 - 3:25pmi hope its got pyramid shaped packaging
Tardis’nt
September 12th, 2012 - 3:32pmthat would be a nice touch! 🙂
Rooners
September 12th, 2012 - 3:47pmIs the “Earth Set” confirmed or is it just speculation?
booboo
September 12th, 2012 - 3:51pmjust speculation but there is more than one set
andrew
September 12th, 2012 - 3:54pmIs there a chance of a sarah jane figure?
booboo
September 12th, 2012 - 3:55pmnot sure, may be not in these sets
andrew
September 12th, 2012 - 3:58pmhm I have to ask this, when a set is released, I know there is a limit of how many they produce, but how long does stock last? Do they produce more if there is a demand?
booboo
September 12th, 2012 - 4:01pmimpossible to tell – some sets are available from months back, even years but others sell out very quickly (eg Davros remembrance set) i think this one will be very popular
andrew
September 12th, 2012 - 4:38pmOk, just I was thinking I’l get it next month as i have spent my limit on Transformers this month lol
andrew
September 12th, 2012 - 6:38pmAs you say about the pyramid packaging^^, I wish they would make use of the packaging, it is nice and I do love and keep the backdrops from the sets! It would just be really cool if they did stuff, like the kinda did with the Fendhal set only better. Like make the packaging into something to do with the story and not waste it!
booboo
September 12th, 2012 - 6:42pmprobably comes down to cost and whether its practicable – i much prefer stuff boxed to the clam shells or card backed
Mumble5557
September 12th, 2012 - 2:21pmI really wish that this comes back on FP
booboo
September 12th, 2012 - 2:54pmits has on the one a will be on the other one sometime today
megawood100
September 12th, 2012 - 3:50pmIt will be back on FP.com later today?
booboo
September 12th, 2012 - 3:55pmyes it will be on both FP’s later
andrew
September 12th, 2012 - 1:49pmnot about this one, but my castrovalva set been dispatched about a minute ago, so they finally have them in!
andrew
September 12th, 2012 - 1:49pmhas been*
John Smith
September 12th, 2012 - 8:14amThis looks like a fantastic set and have been waiting for them to release it for a while. The figures look quite detailed and I think that Sutekh should have a swappable head. That’d be cool.
Mumble5557
September 12th, 2012 - 7:29amHopefully FB will have this up by Friday and that’ll come out before my birthday.
CG
September 11th, 2012 - 11:58pmdid they actually show the mummies in the episode with gold bandages? If not why are they doing this?
andrew
September 12th, 2012 - 12:16amThey are stood outside sutekhs roomand they look exactly as they did, pretty good!
Mels
September 12th, 2012 - 4:33amPretty neat!
Jason doctorwhoone
September 12th, 2012 - 7:14amThe Robot Mummies with the gold bandages are the Guardians of Horus, they appear on the planet Mars itself in the final episode of the story inside Sutekh’s prison.
CG
September 12th, 2012 - 8:55amthanks
andrew
September 12th, 2012 - 12:59pmThats is Horus, I knew they were guardians, couldnt think of the name, thanks, aint seent he story in a while.
andrew
September 12th, 2012 - 1:00pmIt is a shame they show him without the mask here, bit of a spoiler for those who havent seen it, I hope he does get a masked head.
stormaggedon97
September 11th, 2012 - 11:28pmI’m not really a classic figure collector and whilst this set looks cool, I just really want to see some Series 7 figures (other than Rory who looks awesome) 🙂 Excuse me, booboo, but do you know (or guess) when we might get some?
dave WHOBLACKPOOL
September 12th, 2012 - 8:42ambar Rory there is no new series figures being released until 2013
stormaggedon97
September 12th, 2012 - 11:26pmWHAT?! Really?
doctorpond393
September 11th, 2012 - 10:38pmhopefully it will still be £19.99
andrew
September 12th, 2012 - 12:17amI think thats a bit too good to be true, I think one of two things will happen, it will go up to £25 to £30 or they will only include one mummy, I hope the first one tbh, still cheap.
Stike
September 11th, 2012 - 10:21pmI think it would be better if sutekh had a removable helmet because he looks cooler with it but another figure set is good news!
megawood100
September 11th, 2012 - 10:16pmSo will it no longer be due for the 18th Booboo?
booboo
September 11th, 2012 - 10:19pmi just dont know to be honest
KRYNOIDY
September 11th, 2012 - 10:11pmHoping it would be helmeted with a swappable head; will get it though!
THE ERGON
September 11th, 2012 - 10:14pmMIGHT WELL BE YET, ITS NOT OFFICIALLY RELEASED.
The Driver
September 11th, 2012 - 10:02pmI prefer the mummy figure with no gold bandages on it. A very good value set. Can you imagine if this set got reduced? People would be going out their way to get their hands on it.
Radburn
September 11th, 2012 - 9:55pmSurprised this appeared out of nowhere (We knew it was coming) but not at all surprised it immediately disappeared afterwards?
Doctor Who Crazy Ross
September 11th, 2012 - 9:27pmI really hope I can get this for my birthday
andrew
September 11th, 2012 - 9:11pmHm, I think something pretty crafty is gonna happen here. He doesn’t come with his helmet. (currently) You think they will re-release this with the Helmet? I might lay off until I hear further about this for now.
andrew
September 11th, 2012 - 9:19pmPlus, how would you get the helmet on him?!?!
Wouldyoulikeajellybaby?
September 11th, 2012 - 9:33pmSwappable Head.
drwhofan4ever
September 11th, 2012 - 8:56pmoh my dog i so want this set
andrew
September 11th, 2012 - 9:17pmPlus, how would you get the helmet on him?!
andrew
September 11th, 2012 - 9:18pmSorry that was meant to go on my comment above, il copy it. Sorry
BOOBOO JR
September 11th, 2012 - 8:34pmThis seems to be pretty cheap, might try getting hold of it. The figures look great!
BOOBOO JR
September 11th, 2012 - 8:37pmJust thinking, have FP got the pricing wrong on this? £19.99 seems VERY cheap for three figures, and Classics are normally slightly overpriced anyway???
Flight of the wirrn
September 11th, 2012 - 8:23pmRemember how the Genesis set had the secret kaled mutant accessory, and the revelation set had the secret swappable Davros hand accessory? Maybe they’re doing that with Sutekh’s mask!
andrew
September 11th, 2012 - 9:15pmNice idea. Thats made me more convinced, but CO have been going quite well with accessories, and have mentioned them in the contents of the set. But you are right, with the Genesis set they didn’t do this. And to be fair, the Invasion of time set didn’t mention Stor had his helmet until we saw the pictures. but on the other hand its not pictured. lol, so it could be either way.
THE ERGON
September 11th, 2012 - 8:18pmJO GRANT CAN,T BE FAR BEHIND NOW, SURELY?
booboo
September 11th, 2012 - 8:19pmabout a mouth she said
THE ERGON
September 11th, 2012 - 8:20pmWELL THAT IS GOOD TO HEAR. THANKS.
andrew
September 11th, 2012 - 8:36pmReally, do we know if both sets are getting released together or seperately? As this was rumoured and now true, wasn’t Jo rumoured to come with a Gel Guard, so is this true?
andrew
September 11th, 2012 - 9:16pma mouth, do you mean a month???
Anonymous
September 11th, 2012 - 10:59pmIt is possible, one is from The Three Doctors (and has a removeable coat) and the other is from The Claws of Axos.
THE ERGON
September 11th, 2012 - 8:10pmTHESE WERE FEATURED AT THE END OF THE VICTORY OF THE DALEKS LINK. I SHOULD IMAGINE THEY WILL DO THE SUTEKH FIGURE IN A THIRD PYRAMIDS SET.
THE ERGON
September 11th, 2012 - 8:12pmP.S FOLKS, WHEN IS THIS AVAILABLE TO BUY?
Dalek Strategist

September 11th, 2012 - 10:10pmCOULDN,T POSSIBLY DO THAT OLD BOY,ITS MY SIGNATURE.
megawood100
September 11th, 2012 - 8:08pmWhat will happen if they boost up the Price to anyone who has already ordered it at the £20 mark?
TheSinkingStar
September 11th, 2012 - 8:06pmI would like to hope, that the reason they took it down is because they are going to include the helmet after all.
(To be honest I don’t want to buy this without the helmet, it just doesn’t look as good.)
