5.5″ B&M 2017 Collectors Set The 4th Doctor
To find your nearest store visit www.bmstores.co.uk. Please ring (option 3) to check availability before travelling. Priced at £16.99 per set. Product code 294255
This 5.5″ figure set is presented in collectors series window box packaging.
The 4th Doctor set contains…
- The 4th Doctor
- Leela
- K9 Mk1
This second B&M exclusive 4th Doctor Set contains The 4th Doctor from the 1975 Tom Baker story The Pyramids of Mars, leela from the 1978 Tom Baker story The Invasion Of Time and K9 Mk1 first seen in the 1977 story The Invisible Enemy.
Accessories include the sonic screwdriver with the 4th Doctor and a knife with Leela.
The Leela in this set is a re-release of the one seen in the Invasion Of Time set released some years ago.
The new figure (front) does have darker hair and more noticeable blue eyes but other differences are minor.
The k9 in the set is undoubtedly the highlight for long term collectors.
This K9 Mk1 is a darker grey than previous releases along with a black tail, top panel and painted side view screen.
The image below shows the difference between this new release (left) and the previous version.

July 27th, 2017 - 10:27amAre K9 Mark I and Mark II identical? Does this serve as both?
Dalek
July 31st, 2017 - 9:12amEssentially yes, also Mark III as it appeared in the Five Doctors. Sarah apparently gave him a paint job before School Reunion

July 26th, 2017 - 9:19pmLeela has the Face of Evil hand painted a flesh colour for some reason, rather than the same hand as the original Invasion of Time variant.

July 24th, 2017 - 10:29pmAre both sides of the Doctor’s scarf painted or is it just the one side like the original PoM figure?

July 24th, 2017 - 4:32pmIve just spoke to a man that works in one of two local stores to me and has just confirmed that there are 6 sets available in the shop as of right now! The only problem is i cant get them till i get paid on friday. Noooooo

July 24th, 2017 - 2:44pmI’ve been to buy my Fourth Doctor and Monster sets, and finally got hold of both after searching in two other stores which had sold out. The store I bought them from had only one of each Fourth/Monster sets and two x Ninth Doctor sets.
This got me round to thinking, to say there is “no market” for Doctor Who figures, these sets do sell out very quickly; it does show big demand for the right characters at the right price point in the right retail outlet.
Surely other retailers could learn from B&M’s strategy where these are an annual and highly anticipated release of nothing more than repaints.

July 24th, 2017 - 8:48amIt says I can’t check availability over the phone but I have to travel really far by train to get there. Is there any other way to check availability?
Fredfez
July 24th, 2017 - 9:38amSorry i didnt see the full phone selections but they only have 2 ninth doctor sets left in the southampton store 🙁 do they re-stock?
Dalek4ever
July 24th, 2017 - 10:08amHOW DID YOU FIND THAT OUT! I’VE SEARCHED THE WEBSITE BUT NO RESULTS! AND I WENT IN THAT STORE YESTERDAY!
Fredfez
July 24th, 2017 - 1:06pmIf you find the store on the website then phone up and select option 3 to phobe them and tgen ask with the product code
Dalek4ever
July 24th, 2017 - 1:19pmDid they mention any other sets are in stock by any chance?
Fredfez
July 24th, 2017 - 2:31pmNo they said the only had 2 of the ninth doctor ones which is why I’m very disappointed
Dalek4ever
July 24th, 2017 - 2:56pmWell that store is quite a walk for me and I usually go there when I go that way. So I’m hoping when I go in a week or 2 they have the 4th dr one or monsters set.
Dalek4ever
July 24th, 2017 - 3:08pmBooboo, is a store that doesn’t have one of the type of sets likely to get another load of them?
booboo
July 24th, 2017 - 4:15pmmost stores seem to get 6 (2 off each) as first delivery then topped up as they sell
Dalek4ever
July 24th, 2017 - 4:34pmDo you know if they get more weekly? Fortnightly?
Fredfez
July 26th, 2017 - 11:19amThank you booboo, when do you think the next delivery will be in stores?
booboo
July 26th, 2017 - 11:32amthey get deliveries every day apparently
Fredfez
July 28th, 2017 - 3:01pmThank you, I called up again this mornig and was able to get them today. They still have 1 of each set left each in the southampton store.

The Outcast
July 23rd, 2017 - 6:02amOk, here’s my question. The question that decides whether I bother to get this set. People who also have the Pyramids of Mars 4, is the 4th Doctor in this set different to the Pyramids one?
Dalek4ever
July 23rd, 2017 - 10:20amThe shirt is different yes
booboo
July 23rd, 2017 - 1:28pmalso seems worth buying fro K9 as well
whovian
July 22nd, 2017 - 12:20pmReally want thr Ninth Doctor set as i never got the Doctor, and need a replacement Rose…. but unsure to get this. Ive had the exact same 4th Doctor before (pretty sure it was that one). Never had a Leela, and need a K9. I just dont like the idea of spending seventeen quid on the one figure ive never had.
I didnt even buy the 12th doctor for £15. I brought him from FP for 6.99. The only figure that has been purchased that was a lot was the War Doctor…. he was brought for me and is still in his packaging, no intention of opening him.
If any of you reckon i should get the 4th dr set, let me know and whichever gets the most answers ie yes/no ill go with it. I hate deciding
DoctorSong2016
July 22nd, 2017 - 1:43pmI’d say get the Fourth Doctor set because that Leela comes from a set that isn’t all that common and the K9 is exclusive to that set. Also the Fourth Doctor might have variations in it. The Ninth Doctor set is basically just rereleases of common figures that you could get for cheap off eBay anyway.

Demdike@CultLabs
July 14th, 2017 - 11:30amTypically i own one Leela figure. And this is it. From the Image of the Fendahl set.
The Outcast
July 14th, 2017 - 1:19pmThis has different hair from the Fendahl set one. But I’m in the same boat as you. I’ve only got one Leela variant, the one that is in this set. I honestly don’t know if I want to get this set. The Pyramids 4 doesn’t come with the TARDIS panel, but the K9 is an exclusive.
Anonymous
July 14th, 2017 - 2:40pmI’m exactly same, I have one Leela and it’s her. But I’m definitely getting this set, since I missed out on this Tom.
Colin fan no. 1
July 12th, 2017 - 8:27pmTom’s facial expression looks creepy
Dalek4ever
July 12th, 2017 - 3:38pmIS THIS OUT?
Ryan Croughan
July 12th, 2017 - 3:30pmProbably the best set of the three because it features two variants. The classic K9 is something we should have had in the Warriors Gate two pack in 2010 so it’s amazing to finally see it here.
Baker’s jacket seems to be closer to his brown frock coat worn from The Face of Evil onwards, rather than the olive purple jacket seen on the original Pyramids version. The simpler waistcoat pattern is the same as on the US Diamond re-release which I guess is nice for collectors over here who prefer the brighter addition of that decal. It wouldn’t have harmed to make his face less orange though.
To make it accurate to Face of Evil would have been nice though seeing as he’s packaged with Leela – a simple repaint of the hat to a bottle green along with the new brown coat would have completed the look (bar the shoes, but I guess it’s too much to ask for the change to the booted leg piece).
As for Leela? There’s very few variants of that costume out there. And they’ve done a very good job of it on the previous releases. Of course with resculpts they could add a fur ‘outsider’ cloak from The Invasion of Time akin to 6’s blue Necros cape. Perhaps simply just some sand detailing on the boots and legs from the scenes where she’s training with the outsiders from that story – anything!
I would have preferred it if they would have chosen the original Leela outfit – two really slight repaint opportunities (which they would have jumped on back in the day) could have raised their heads. Perhaps a blue eyed version from Invisible Enemy onwards, or a version with a head scar from where she was shot in The Sun Makers. I know, tiny little changes but it’s literally anything at this point just to spice it up.
MrTom
July 12th, 2017 - 2:40pmThey gave the 13 Drs set Tom a really nice paintjob on his face, so how have they managed to screw this one up so badly – again?!

July 12th, 2017 - 11:52amWill miss the 9th Doctor set and get this and the Cyberman set, the K9 does seem a little darker than the first release

July 12th, 2017 - 1:17pmI will be doing the same!

July 13th, 2017 - 6:16pmSame. You can buy the 9th doctor set components for like £10 on ebay 😉

Aj
July 6th, 2017 - 5:29pmWon’t be getting these sets due to dull choices and lack of repainted etc. That Rose seriously should be updated if it’s going in a ‘collectors set. ‘
DannyTheNerd
July 6th, 2017 - 10:20amVery disppointing sets. Won’t be getting any of these.
Judooning
July 6th, 2017 - 9:38amGreat set!
Just imagine if these figures had not been released yet and this was a set that was released 4 or 5 years a go in the hype of the classic line.
This would have been one of those Ebay jobs for sure!

July 5th, 2017 - 7:30pmwhy couldnt they stick with the classic theme and put one of the classic sontarans in it

July 12th, 2017 - 12:02pmWhat was the other release? Was it a dirty silver?
Is there anything different about the 4th Doctor?
Michael
July 5th, 2017 - 1:19pmIs this the Pyramids coat (purple) or have they done a repaint? (Brown hopefully).
Whovastron
July 5th, 2017 - 2:04pmThe pyramids coat is brown already
Michael
July 5th, 2017 - 7:19pmIs this one of these cases where different people see different colours? I’d say the Pyramids figure has a very dark purple coat.
I’m hoping it is a brown. Last year’s Tennant figure had the grey suit actually painted brown. For some reason they went back to grey for the 13 Doctors set.
