November 7th, 2024 - 9:13pmSuper happy 🙂 a person on Etsy does custom steelbooks and they are going too do the series 9 as the original realise on request will be best ever too not having too rebuy the expensive first edition especially
The DR.
November 9th, 2024 - 4:14pmCan you give a Name Tom or a way of Contacting him?
Tom Williams
November 9th, 2024 - 7:37pmI do but sadly he ask for a deposit first or it’s a pay up front as the 6 disc for it isn’t cheap I think I’m more better too say when I received it in hand first
Tom Williams
November 15th, 2024 - 6:43pmMy advice is it’s not worth it the seller asked too send payment via PayPal as a friend/family which seemed dodgy I rather buy the original rare version now

November 7th, 2024 - 6:57pmI’m impressed by those replica keys of marinus someone made and sold on ebay – £225 amazing -the are superb though I’d have loved them !

demdike@Cult Labs
November 6th, 2024 - 6:42pmThat Hinchcliffe interview runs for 25 unbroken pages. It’s massive.
Cully’s Pal
November 6th, 2024 - 4:12pmHas the chronicles series of magazines come to an end ? Still a few classic years I’m interested in !
Tom Williams
November 4th, 2024 - 5:16pmAnyone hunting for a brand new copy of 50th anniversary steel book they have them currently on Amazon but sadly at 70 pound which ain’t too bad compaired too eBay and cex
Tom Williams
November 4th, 2024 - 7:40pmNow also just seen the 60th anniversary one aswell pop up for limited deal at only 29.99 for anyone who missed out on first realse
Tom Williams
November 6th, 2024 - 4:29pmWell my 50th anniversary steelbook finally arrived last night as they delayed it on purpose but wasn’t happy that the sealing was mainly teared off in lots off places and the j card dented in two front corners I have kept instead and found a good solution in the end off wrapping it in cellophane and put in the steel book case
Tom Williams
November 2nd, 2024 - 12:26amThis is very odd there’s a sequence on all the seasons by the looks off it numbers 13,12,16,20,11,10 and the odd three two 7 and one 8 in gaps off each season that came out over the same years this is like too me we had starting from so far 10,11,12,13 missing 14 still 15 and 17,18,19 as there is only 10 seasons now left too go I really do wonder which sequence would match each year so if season 7 comes out next year with season 21 it would complete the number 14 ?
Mr Greel
October 31st, 2024 - 3:42pmMy Goblin King & Janis pin badge set came today. No mention on Forbidden Planet’s website listing but mine is signed by Christina Rotondo on the back of the backing card. Not sure if all these sets have been signed or just some.
The DR.
October 31st, 2024 - 4:42pmThanks for the Tip Off Mr Greel. I’ve just ordered One Incase more of them are Signed.
Radburn
November 1st, 2024 - 11:57pmI checked with FP over this & they told me that this is not a Signed item, which is a pity as I would have snapped one up.
Radburn
November 2nd, 2024 - 12:06amBut now having checked the FP Website – It now says it IS a Signed Edition. I don’t think FP know what they are doing?
The DR.
November 2nd, 2024 - 2:45pmYep, On Forbidden Planets Site it says Signed by Christina Rotondo.
Mrs Croot
October 30th, 2024 - 10:42pmI know no one will care but a reminder that the LittleBigPlanet3 Doctor Who DLC is no longer available after tomorrow, so get it while you still can.
Dav
October 30th, 2024 - 4:16pmMy Master Replicas TARDIS’ have now all been dispatched at long last! I’ll report back with what they’re like when I get them. I know there was some concern that these might never arrive but looks positive!
First Doctor (Limited Edition Black & White), First Doctor (Colour), Fifteenth Doctor, Fourth Doctor (Members Edition)
Pipkin

Cully’s Pal
October 29th, 2024 - 7:02pmWhen did the Black Guardian become the Guardian of Chaos ? Have the powers that be become a bit sensitive of that now too ?
Tom Williams

pupbenny
October 25th, 2024 - 11:14pmHey you updated the site banner, booboo! :O First time since 2021.
Cully’s Pal
October 26th, 2024 - 4:23pmGot to be honest gld to see the back of the Colin Baker figure some of us paid a fortune for and never got ! Lots better without it !
Snowman
October 26th, 2024 - 11:37pmYeah I pre-Ordered him too, Colin Baker Signature Edition, Tom Baker Signature and k9 all payed for from Big Chief and never received.
Tom Williams
October 25th, 2024 - 5:02pmAnyone know out of interest if fury from deep standard dvd or blue ray included the same booklet like the steel book edition? Mine sadly never included one
Amypondfan
October 26th, 2024 - 10:21amDVD definitely had a booklet
Tom Williams
October 26th, 2024 - 10:52amThank you 🙂 it’s helpful if I wanna add it
MJS
October 25th, 2024 - 10:14amI genuinely don’t understand why Character haven’t reissued the Tardis for the 15th Doctor. Surely it only needs a repackage?
booboo
October 25th, 2024 - 10:15amB&M next year looks like
pb
October 25th, 2024 - 3:25pmOh, for real booboo? 😀
booboo
October 25th, 2024 - 3:28pmfrom whats been said
The Living Shadow
November 10th, 2024 - 5:10pmWhat’s the source on that? I’ve seen some people on facebook saying Al Dewar was on a podcast but some people are saying 2025 and others are saying 2026… I haven’t been able to find this information beyond people talking about it but maybe I’m just getting impatient though haha
Jamie
November 10th, 2024 - 6:44pmIt was mentioned by Al in a recent interview. It was either Who Corner to Corner or the Power of Three podcast. He said Fifteens TARDIS was very likely for next years B&M range. And also that there would probably be three sets with one of them being some unique Daleks. That’s all that I can remember from what he said.
Mrs Croot
November 10th, 2024 - 7:14pm@livingshadow to my knowledge he first mentioned it on a Q&A on galifrey base, we could submit questions and I asked about a potential release of the TARDIS if the figures did well, to which Al responded that it would be *considered* for B&M next year if 15 and Ruby did well.
The Living Shadow
November 20th, 2024 - 3:00amThank you!! I hope we see the Tardis and maybe a 14th Doctor figure for B&M next year
Snowman
October 18th, 2024 - 8:03pmI’ve seen a Few Individually Packed Eaglemoss Daleks pop up for Sale recently. The Boxs are the New Design (White Box with Blue Diamond Logo) with MR printed on the Reverse.
I haven’t been keeping up with the MR News recently.
Are they planning on re-releasing all the Old Eaglemoss Figurines this way?
Pipkin
October 18th, 2024 - 8:21pmSounds like the ones MR were supposed to have sold from their site but people were complaining they recieved the old style packaging rather than the updated. MR have been restocking and selling old figurines for a while now.
Their TARDIS’ with the exception (i think) of the exclusive 4th are currently shipping and there is also a B/W (as well as colour) first doctor variant supposedly shipping.
Snowman
October 18th, 2024 - 8:48pmThey Actually look rather Nice in the New Packaging. (Same Style as the recent Harrops and Character Options Packaging).
Today I saw the Special Weapons Dalek for Sale on Ebay. (Individually Boxed).
Also on the Eaglemoss Facebook page, a Guy posted the Individually Boxed Gold Dalek, on an Advert for Toys for a pound? (Even though it was.priced at 9.99).
Snowman
October 18th, 2024 - 9:13pmDang it, I’ve just bought Five of them. (Supreme Paradigm, Special Weapons Dalek, Black and Gold Supreme, Black and White Supreme and the Necros Dalek).
I wasn’t even interested in the old Eaglemoss Figurines as I have them all already. Then Today I came across the MR Special Weapons Dalek and I thought it looks really nice in it’s New Packaging. The Guy I bought them from as photos of the Figures Boxed and Unboxed. It looks like the Daleks are still housed in the Clear Plastic Trays (Ala Eaglemoss) and just the Outer box is Different.
The DR.
October 19th, 2024 - 1:13pmIf the New Figures, Ruby/15th doctor and Upcoming Figures are boxed like this that will be Great. I should imagine they will be.
Does MR Do Paypal? I haven’t used them before
The Ergon
October 17th, 2024 - 9:40pmApparently MRs first doctor TARDIS is now shipping and there is very low stock.
booboo
October 18th, 2024 - 9:32amsaw that B&W version as well, the low stock thing puzzles me, i ca’nt get anywhere with them (MR) unfortunately.
Tom Williams
October 16th, 2024 - 7:47pmNews just in anyone after the new standard season 2 blu ray it’s been announced with rare waves on eBay apparently coming out 2 nd December
Pipkin
October 16th, 2024 - 8:01pmThat date is about correct. Season 9 i think is March/April of next year.
Tom Williams
October 17th, 2024 - 1:29amDon’t know if boo-boo is busy or knows but season 2 standard has landed for preorder on Amazon
booboo
October 16th, 2024 - 2:35pmRather nice item coming as part of Time Lord Tuesday from FP next week
The Ergon
October 16th, 2024 - 3:51pmIs this a figure exclusive?
booboo
October 16th, 2024 - 3:55pmno along the same lines as the other stuff but a bit different
pb
October 25th, 2024 - 3:22pmWhat was the item booboo?
booboo
October 25th, 2024 - 3:24pmthe pin badge set
The Ergon
October 12th, 2024 - 11:06amHow do you send photos to relevant page? Its been a while.

October 16th, 2024 - 3:48pmThanks.
Bookcollector
October 11th, 2024 - 5:45pmAmazon are indicating that there will be more target books next July. I would prefer a mix of doctors but I suspect it will be stories from the latest series. I’m fine with that but I would like some Matt Smith books, he is woefully represented. No Amy books! It’s just not right!
pupbenny
October 10th, 2024 - 5:35pmOne thing that surprises me is that Character Options never made a classic era TARDIS playset. You might be thinking, well that would be expensive to make! But I think it’d be relatively simple really. Just make a classic TARDIS console (non-electronic if need be) and throw in a few pieces of card for the floor and walls. Maybe create the doors too, or just use cut out card for that. Would it be accurate? Depending on the exact TARDIS it’s recreating, no less accurate than the 11th Doctor’s TARDIS playset was. Really, it’d only just be a couple of plastic models to make maximum. Not expecting them to do that at all, by the way, I’m just saying I’m surprised they never did do that considering what a simple design it is, especially during the 50th anniversary.
Mrs Croot
October 10th, 2024 - 6:30pmThey wouldn’t do it now but considering we got a drashig hand puppet and a fendahleen, I’m surprised they didn’t make a hollow rotocast classic console back in the day, because it doesn’t need moving parts it just needed to be a display piece.
Cully’s Pal
October 10th, 2024 - 1:14pmFor Harrops fans the first pics of the full unpainted Borad are on facebook today. Looking good with a potential late November release.
Lewis
October 8th, 2024 - 10:51pmAnyone know if we’re ever gonna get that meep plush that was floating around at toyfair? Now they have announced the new action figures, makes me hopeful it might finally come to light as an actual product. I want meep
Snowman
October 9th, 2024 - 12:45pmI could be wrong, but I thought we were only Getting the 15th Doctor and Ruby 5.5 inch Figures and the Sonic Screwdriver. I don’t think there was enough interest int the 5.5 inch Wrarth Warrior or the Meep Plush.
Which I know is odd since the BBC Teamed up with Disney and the Show was having a Huge Reboot for 2024.
Moodbeam
October 10th, 2024 - 12:48pmPretty certain it was confirmed that the Meep plush was not going into mass production. Sad times, it would have been a great addition to the collection. It was the perfect character for merch so if Meep doesn’t get any I can’t see us getting much else in the future beyond Doctors, companions, and Tardis(es).
Snowman
October 10th, 2024 - 2:10pmYeah, most of them from B&M aswell I should imagine. Sad, sad Times indeed.
Radburn
October 16th, 2024 - 3:33pmI could just see a Meep (Maybe even talking!) in one of those half-cut boxes they did for the daleks & other plushies. Easy to do in the new range colours. What a wasted opportunity!
booboo
October 16th, 2024 - 3:39pmretailers weren’t interested , RTD said so himself
Radburn
October 29th, 2024 - 10:55amSadly makes sense! Even if someone only made 500 of them & sold them online, the cost of the BBC Licence plus the Production costs would not be practical.

Pipkin
October 5th, 2024 - 10:51pmAre the 15th and Ruby figures available from characters online shop this month?
booboo
October 6th, 2024 - 9:35amsupposed to be, online exclusives and different general release figures
Cully’s Pal
October 7th, 2024 - 2:18pmAny idea if those online exclusives are going to be classic based ?
booboo
October 7th, 2024 - 2:21pmno 15th and Ruby online exclusives different to general release (contumes i would think)
Cully’s Pal
October 7th, 2024 - 2:36pmah ok thanks – saves me a few pennies towards the next Harrop release.
Aśka
October 3rd, 2024 - 8:59pmDoes anybody know why some editions of the 2018 wave of Target books are missing the target logo on the spine? Really annoying as they are inconsistent on my bookshelf.
Mrs Croot
October 4th, 2024 - 10:44amOriginal release didn’t have the logo, they were then released again to include the logo
Aśka
October 4th, 2024 - 2:59pmI see so annoying.
MJS
October 4th, 2024 - 6:20pmConsistency was never really a thing when it came to Target novels!
Radburn
October 3rd, 2024 - 11:29amAre there any 8th. Doctor Comic Strips available in full colour Pre-2005?
Amypondfan
October 4th, 2024 - 4:45amThere are four volumes of eighth doctor strips. Endgame and glorious dead are black and white. Oblivion and the flood are in colour.
Radburn
October 4th, 2024 - 11:45amThank you! I have just bought a copy of Oblivion, but can’t find any decent copies of The Flood yet.
Amypondfan
October 5th, 2024 - 12:52amBest of luck, hope you find one
