December 1st, 2021 - 1:32amI just brought a Dapol 1996 cream robe timelord high councillor in original package which was found in a closed shop stock room I got it for £29.99 I have a few questions
dose anyone know how rare it is?
What was its orgianl retail price in 1996
How many were produced?
Will it gain value?
I would like to know if I got a good deal
John
December 1st, 2021 - 11:47amI think I paid £3.99 back then, but could be wrong. I think the 4 colours were produced together so neither is rarer than the other – unless of course one sold better and more made. With dapol youi are never quite sure! I’ve never seen a record of how many units were made.
I’ve seen them sell for less and more so probably an OK price.

December 1st, 2021 - 3:01pmSorry to say but this, other Time Lords and other Dapol Figures are still available from the Who Shop @ £6.99 so not really rare at all.
As with most vintage Who merchandise best to check on Web first before buying to get an idea of prices if you’re not sure unless you really want something and are prepared to pay over the odds.

June 2nd, 2016 - 8:09amI got a naked Sea Devil on Saturday from Warrington Comic Con for £6. As I said, it doesn’t have the cloth garment, belt or heat ray, but I think it’s quite a good price considering it’s quite rare.

January 22nd, 2011 - 11:43amI wont some Dapol figures 4 my collection
Doctorwhoobawooba
January 15th, 2011 - 6:37pmDon’t know if this is useful but there was a seller at a convention last summer who I think used to sell the dapol figures but they were sent back since apparently popularity went down since Doctor Who was cancelled and the figures had only just been unpacked etc as they had been in storage for several years now, I don’t think this makes that much sense since Dapol were still making the figures to a bit after the millenium but I can sort of believe it.
From there I got the a few figures and the bright light-up tardis which I kept the box…
booboo
January 15th, 2011 - 7:06pmlike many things people still collect them and many are rare and can fetch a lot of money now such as Melkur, Sontarans , 2nd Doctor and the Tardis console
Steven.
January 2nd, 2011 - 6:23pmI have black/gold, gold/black, dark grey/black and silver/blue
booboo
January 2nd, 2011 - 6:09pmThanks i should have realised, that’s a bluebird one i think we have that, how many talking 6″ Daleks are there? we need some of those
Steven.
January 2nd, 2011 - 5:57pmThe Dalek Playset is a Dalek which splits in half, theres a Tardis with a Tom Baker figure and also a rolykin dalek which resembles a dalek from Death to the Daleks and also a Davros from Remebrance of the Daleks. I’m asking for £80 for all the items and postage included but i’d also sell the items seperately for less.
booboo
January 2nd, 2011 - 5:49pmcan i ask what the Dalek playset is? we do collect things to feature on the site?
Ebay is your best bet but how much would you want for it all with post?
Steven.
January 2nd, 2011 - 5:32pmI have a number of Doctor who items than i am trying to sell because of a lack of storage space. I’m selling;
7th Doctor dapol figure
Ice Warriors dapol figure
Silver K9 dapol figure
Cyberman dapol figure
Dalek playset (All component included)
12 inch Silver/Blue remote control Dalek in box
8 inch Talking Cyberman
A variety of classic 6 inch Talking Daleks
I’m hoping to sell these at low prices becaue i’m desperate to get rid, if anyones interested can you let me know? Thanks!
Doctor Whooo
December 29th, 2010 - 10:59pmYou can see how much the figures have changed
Lady Macbeth
December 12th, 2010 - 10:03amAnd the time rotor mechanism was broken. I had sort of managed to fix it, but my repair did not withstand the wears of time.
@ The Pandorica: How I would love to have an Ace – particularly a signed Ace! So awesome! I adored Sophie Aldred… I hope Underground Toys is able to do her justice when they release such a figure.
