Mrs Croot
June 24th, 2024 - 2:46pmFrom the leaks at toy fair, which I am assuming are the retail versions, I assume the doctor is leather coat & blue jumper from end of church and the start of space babies, and Ruby will be dot and bubble Ruby with her black jacket painted blue to match the ending of that story.

June 24th, 2024 - 10:08pmOooh, there’s leaks!? Do tell, if you’re allowed. 😀

June 25th, 2024 - 9:54amjust the pictures from the toy fair of the 15th Doctor and Ruby
pupbenny
June 24th, 2024 - 10:42pmOkay, just seen them. I’d guess they’d do a Legend Of Ruby Road 15th Doctor, considering, they could pretty much just re-use the 9th Doctor’s body again, I feel like.
Anon
June 22nd, 2024 - 11:40amProbably a stupid question boo boo but what’s happened to the legend of ruby sunday and empire of death posts in the news section?

June 21st, 2024 - 9:09amI wonder why they took it off the site
booboo
June 21st, 2024 - 9:13amProbably put it out to early, either that or they are getting better (non stretched) images.
we took it off out of courtesy but in the days of social media when the cats out of the bag it well and truly is these days.

June 21st, 2024 - 1:11pmThanks booboo. 🙂
Moodbeam
June 23rd, 2024 - 1:35pmI had honestly thought it was fake, the image they put out is so badly done with the badges all different sizes and the wrong proportions. The Sonic itself is not much to shout about either unfortunately. Interested to see how they’ll tackle the variants though as there’s been several colours shown on screen.

June 20th, 2024 - 8:56amNeed a little help I brought the really rare season 9 lately on cex but sadly it only arrived with the steelbook on its own and no j card or anything which was really upsetting is it better too keep till i can replace it next month or return now till another one comes in stock as the price has especially now gone up ?
daz
June 20th, 2024 - 9:58amYou can request a refund and send it back if you have recently received it. If you really want the j-card and all your other steelbooks have them I’d recommend that.
Especially if you paid £400+ for it.
Tom Williams
June 20th, 2024 - 1:36pmThanks daz I’m taking it back and might wait again too get it back and just go for series 1-4 specials instead
Tom Williams
June 21st, 2024 - 6:33pmManaged too finally give in on eBay from a seller and go 60 more then the current price on cex which is worse but series 9 was the only one with 10 I wanted after a 4 year wait lol
pupbenny
June 19th, 2024 - 7:11pmI just noticed that Toys R’ Uses are opening up now and they’re also updating their website. I wonder if they’ll start selling Doctor Who merchandise again when their website opens back up. Anyone know if they’re selling any Doctor Who stuff in the new physical shops?
anon
June 19th, 2024 - 4:13amWhat about the ‘Tales From The Tardis’ spin-off episode? Will that be making its way onto the next Season 14 DVD release?
Rory
June 19th, 2024 - 9:54amI would expect not unless they count that as an extra. It might be included as a viewing option on the S13 Collection set.
Gordon
June 19th, 2024 - 2:39pmMight also get a stand alone release seeing as unlike the other stories in the tales of the tardis they went so far to give it a new edit and effects. Similar sort of release to what daleks in colour got.
anon
June 29th, 2024 - 1:26amJust found out that the Tales from The Tardis Spin-off will be included on the DVD release.
Very happy about that!
Mrs Croot
June 12th, 2024 - 6:45pmSo the Go Figure book is getting a stretch goal for a book covering micro universe, 10”, 12” and most importantly to me, time squad figures. Call me crazy but it’s a dream come true for my favourite obscure toy line to be getting coverage!
Bundy
June 14th, 2024 - 11:06amMy dream is that it doesn’t cost £200 to see it!
booboo
June 14th, 2024 - 11:20amI have an unreleased time squad set somewhere see if I’ve post a pic when I get home
Mrs Croot
June 14th, 2024 - 2:22pmOh my god I’d love to see it if you’re able to share it.
booboo
June 14th, 2024 - 4:20pmThis box set was never released and at the time contained some new figures which were then released in wave 2 and a B&M set except the victory Dalek which as far as i know is the only one to exist.
booboo
June 14th, 2024 - 4:28pmActually i dont think the 2nd angel was released either and the cyberman has a transparent arm and leg! (which have now gone yellow)
Bellal
June 14th, 2024 - 5:07pmLovely looking set. I only ever managed to get the ood, clockwork droid and the sontaran
Bundy
June 14th, 2024 - 5:52pmThanks booboo – I love these, and the character building sets.
Judooning
June 14th, 2024 - 6:53pmI wonder if this was a mock-up. Because it’s using the End of Time Packaging but with new era (at the time) series 5 characters included. And it says 12 to collect…even though you get all 12 in one go.
And the Cyberman seems a mix of a series 2 “ghost” Cyberman, and a series 5/6 damaged Cybus Cyberman
booboo
June 14th, 2024 - 7:03pmit was a mock probably pitched at Argos or toys r us at the time just using existing artwork, CO probably produced loads of stuff like this that wouldn’t normally never be seen, I never saw it but Wave 5 of Character building was done an dusted and ready to go they must exist somewhere and a few of the cancelled 3.75″ wave 5 destined for toy r us us ended up on ebay, i just missed out on those.
Mrs Croot
June 14th, 2024 - 7:09pmThis is the most exciting thing I’ve ever seen, and no that is not sarcasm, I just love this line so much. Thank you so much!
Mrs Croot
June 14th, 2024 - 7:21pmJudooning, I think that cyberman is a damaged cyberman from doomsday, as in the equivalent of the 5” figure with destroyed legs and a destroyed arm. It would account for the damage to it and the transparent pieces are probably place holders for a sculpt that would remove them in their entirety.
76 Totter’s Lane
June 14th, 2024 - 8:48pmIt’s the Cyberman from “The Pandorica Opens’ with the missing arm.
Judooning
June 14th, 2024 - 9:18pmAh yes! Good thinking there! I had every figure from this line back in the day. Got all 3 of the three packs plus the Master Build a figure wave and then the Capaldi/Smith era wave. Great figures. Hopefully we can get something similar for Ncuti’s Doctor one day
pupbenny
June 14th, 2024 - 9:38pmThis is amazing! Even though I wasn’t interested in this line, I love seeing stuff like this!

June 18th, 2024 - 12:04pmHi booboo! Member of the Go Figure team here. We’d be very interested in including your unreleased Time Squad set in our Time Squad supplement (assuming it gets funded). If that’s something you’d be interested in, could you maybe drop me an email?

June 11th, 2024 - 3:40pmWaterstones have the covers on for space babies (new writer), 73 yards (by Scott handcock) and rogue (by original authors).
Covers look great. No sign on there for the ruby road cover.

June 11th, 2024 - 11:38amPictures of forthcoming releases over on Harrops facebook page. An excellent Monoid and – to me – an abdsolutely astounding figure of the Garm from the Davison serial ‘Terminus’ !
Tom Williams
June 10th, 2024 - 7:27pmVery happy too find a bargain today I sold most off my classic daleks unfortunately on eBay in the past but in my local cancer research charity shop I found the remembrance one which the eye stalk was broken through and saucer Dalek which was more in good condition but has wear too it alot and also the 13th dr Dalek from revolution which I never brought or had all for only 3.95 each
Bookcollector
June 6th, 2024 - 1:27amJust noticed the church on ruby road target paperback has vanished from the waterstones site. Hope it’s just an error and it comes back on. I’ve got it preordered from them.
Bookcollector
June 7th, 2024 - 3:19pmIt’s back on!
Bookcollector
June 7th, 2024 - 3:24pmIt looks like the new target books will have artwork covers. Amazon has the back cover of church on for some reason and it features the doctor presumably from the front cover.

June 5th, 2024 - 4:29pmWilliam Russell 1924-2024
Rest in peace sir, you will be sorely missed by us all.
pupbenny
June 4th, 2024 - 9:32pmAwww, William Russell’s passed away? 🙁 RIP.
pupbenny
June 5th, 2024 - 5:34pmHere’s a bizarre thought, which says just how long William lived: when he was born, he would’ve just missed the last time Paris held the Olympics, and he died just missing the next time Paris is holding the Olympics. A very long life.
Bookcollector
June 4th, 2024 - 8:34pmRIP William. You will be missed.
Tom Williams
June 4th, 2024 - 8:31pmRIP too William Russell
Anon
June 4th, 2024 - 6:49pmVery sad news. William Russell has passed away.
A very finr actor.
Those scenes with Ian and Barbara in The Romans are some of the most joyous.
O Tempoa, o mores.
RIP.
Bellal
June 4th, 2024 - 7:45pmVery sad news indeed, I didn’t find out until I saw this. Shame he didn’t make 100.
Was great he got one final scene in 2022.
A true legend of the show and will be greatly missed by all Who fans.
Bookcollector
June 4th, 2024 - 8:56pmAgreed bellal, that final scene in 2022 is made even more special now. Ian chesterton is still one of my favourite characters and the Romans is one of my favourite stories. I watched it last year and William and jaqueline hill are great in their scenes. Right. Tomorrow an Ian chesterton story. I’ll watch one and I think a target book is in order too. Gone but never to be forgotten.

June 3rd, 2024 - 3:41pmHi! I’m curious if we have any idea when the artwork for the Ncuti Gatwa Season 1 steelbook will be revealed– is it usually once the whole season has finished?
Rory
June 4th, 2024 - 10:00amExpect it will be after the season has aired in case there are any spoilers.

June 22nd, 2024 - 5:04pmI don’t expect that was what they figured

May 30th, 2024 - 7:53pmAlways been fascinated by Peter Davison appearing as the Dish of the Day…..just as he was about to become theDoctor is I recall correctly. Always preferred the original radio series but enjoyed the animation of the passages from the ‘book’ someone once did a fascimile entry about the Daleks that was very good on youtube !
Bookcollector
May 27th, 2024 - 7:05pmIt’s been nearly four years but there is finally a new erimem novel out now on Amazon.
Mrs Croot
May 26th, 2024 - 1:04pmLatest episode of unleashed previewed a bunch of sonic colours, so we now have blue, red, light blue, lime, orange and purple. If we’re getting a gold sonic I can easily see multiple variants of this one coming out, and why not reuse the sculpt.

SV7
May 24th, 2024 - 2:19pmOk. Slightly weird one.
Does anybody by chance have “The Dalek Collection” DVD in their collection? (The 2006 Optimum / Studio Canal release with the grey Dalek on the front)
If so, is Disc 2 faulty? I came by one a few weeks ago and Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 AD plays fine, but I noticed that the Dalekmania documentary is missing the whole bit with Michael Wisher at the cinema at the beginning (including the documentary’s opening titles). It jumps from the Lumiere logo straight to Roberta Tovey reading in the clip from the first movie.
Admittedly it is a very clean cut, but it does shorten the documentary by approximately two minutes. Even more bizarrely, the time stamp jumps from about 23 seconds to 2 minutes, 11 seconds, and when I try to rewind it just gets stuck and refuses to go back!
By pure chance, today I came by a second totally separate copy. I took a chance on it, only to find that this one once again plays the movie fine, but as soon as it loads it goes straight to the movie skipping both the copyright warnings and the disc menu!
When I press the menu button on the remote, it does go to the menu and I can of course play the movie and go into scene selection, but when I click on Dalekmania, it plays the movie not the documentary!!!
I can’t seem to find any info online, I’m genuinely puzzled. Is it possible that all these discs are faulty? I’ve never had two totally separate copies of a DVD both have similar problems.
Also just wanted to add that both discs are free from dirt, scuffs and scratches. I have also thoroughly cleaned both but to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks. 🙂
Bookcollector
May 24th, 2024 - 4:09pmYes, the disc is faulty. You are better of getting the two newer individual releases as they feature the full (no faults) dalekmania documentary and some other bits not on the original DVD release or the grey release
Rex Farrel
May 24th, 2024 - 4:26pmI remember the problem with Dalekmania, and also that even Kevin Davies was annoyed by it. I also remember that there were some quite outlandish theories going around… (It couldn’t just be a regular snafu for some people.)
Unfortunately all the Dalek film discs had issues until the 2013 versions, but I’ve never heard about the problem with your second Optimum copy. It does sound like how a player tries to handle a faulty disc though – if the surface is fine then it could be a bad pressing, something during manufacture that affected the area with the menu structure.
SV7
May 24th, 2024 - 4:41pmThank you both so much for getting back to me, that has definitely helped to make sense of the situation! 🙂
