5.5″ B&M 2017 Collectors Set The Monsters
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 Monster set contains…
- Cyber Controller
- Attack Cyberman
- Sontaran Skorr
This second B&M exclusive Monsters Set contains The Cyber Controller from the 1967 Patrick Troughton story The Tomb of the Cybermen, A Cyberman from the 1985 Colin Baker story Attack of the Cybermen and Sontaran Skorr from the 2008 David Tennant stories The Sontaran Stratagem/The Poison Sky.
Accessories include a laser rifle and helmet with Sontaran Skorr and a Cyber Gun with the Attack Cyberman.
The new Cyber Controller (left) is a slight variant the original Build a Figure where individual parts were supplied in the “age of Steel wave”.
The face is a darker grey and the figure now has a silver rim below the brain section, the decoration on the brain is also slightly more obvious on this new version.
The “Attack” Cybeman (centre) is a combination of the Earthshock and Rogue Cyberman with appropriate paint application. The gun also has a different paint application. All in all i think most people would see this as an unreleased and new figure.
Sontaran “Skorr” is essentially a re-named re-release although he can either come with a rank insignia badge of 3 (Commander) or 5 (General) in this set. The badge is on the collar below the helmet line.

October 17th, 2020 - 3:23amDoes anyone happen to have a Commander (3 point insignia) Sontaran for sale?

December 3rd, 2017 - 9:14amI wish they would make new figures instead of re- selling old ones with ‘variations’!
The Outcast
December 3rd, 2017 - 9:26amUmm, they do. As for why they don’t release loads more figures, they don’t make as much profit as they once did, so don’t have to money to release loads and loads of figures like they did in the day. CO isn’t being lazy, they just don’t have the money to make lots of figures. But they will make more, they did say they’ll be doing 13th Doctor products next year, so there will be new figures then.
This set is a re-release set. Made for B&M with the goal of being cheap packs of figures, which means they don’t do new moulds in these sets, because they are cheap.

December 17th, 2017 - 9:16amThey should re release some of the most popular sets, kind of like the diamond packaging. Like the most sold ones should be re released or something like that
Anonymous
December 27th, 2017 - 5:57pmI think they should re-release the Remembrance of the daleks pack. (The first one with the Special Weapons Dalek).

November 24th, 2017 - 9:45pmBooboo can you help me with something? Are there any other sets apart from the voyage if the damned set that have the 10th dr in blue suit without glasses? Thanks

November 15th, 2017 - 11:16amJUST A HEADS UP GUYS!!!
B&M STORES ARE CURRENTLY RESTOCKING ALL OF THESE FOR CHRISTMAS
It might be worth admin updating the post. All sets out in the Hull Stores Yesterday and staff member confirmed full restock.
The Outcast
November 15th, 2017 - 11:40amThis is… EXCELLENT!!! (Get it, the set has an 80s Cyberman and… yeah, I think you got it).
The real question is, if they are restocking, does this mean they ran out of these sets and CO have manufactured more? I’m certainly hoping so, it would mean I might be able to get this set.
Anonymous
November 15th, 2017 - 11:59amI don’t think this is restocking. They were so badly distributed in the first place, I think they are just sending out the excess stock they should have sent out originally; to shift for Christmas.

November 3rd, 2017 - 3:38pmI bought the 9th and 4th from 1 BM, 1 monsters with 1 sontaran 3 spikes in an other BM, 1 monsters with 1 sontaran 5 spikes in a third BM, all in Edinburgh. Are the Sontarans variants?
Colin forever
September 16th, 2017 - 9:18amI think they should’ve swapped the sontaran for a revenge Cyberman, that way they could call it the Cyberman set

September 14th, 2017 - 1:45pmOut of interest how long is it normally untill these get reduced?
The Flying Shark
August 29th, 2017 - 7:05pmGot this today (Commander set variant), one of my favourite sets ever.
Exterminator
August 29th, 2017 - 6:59pmIs it just the B&M ‘Bargains stores’ getting these because the 2 B&M shops near me (Gravesend and Lakeside) are both B&M ‘Home Stores’ and neither have had them?
Dalek4ever
August 29th, 2017 - 9:27pmJust the bargains stores I’m afraid
Exterminator
August 29th, 2017 - 11:10pmThat explains it, I’ve been waiting for my local shop to get them.
The Silent Silent
August 29th, 2017 - 11:22pmI got mine from the woolwich store @Exterminator
Exterminator
August 29th, 2017 - 11:29pmAccording to the b&m map, the Woolwich shop is a ‘bargains’ store. I’ll have to have a drive I think out to Sheerness. It’s so annoying though when I’ve got a huge great big B&M shop in my home town!!! Grrr!
Exterminator
August 29th, 2017 - 11:32pmGravesend did have the sonic screwdriver, and today there was only 2 left on the shelf so Dr Who stuff will sell if they’d only stock it.
I’ve emailed b&m to complain.
Exterminator
August 30th, 2017 - 4:54pmStrood in Medway is a ‘home store’ and they’ve had them but all they had left today was 2 of the 9th Dr sets which are just awful (the face on Rose is terrible).
I drove to Sheerness and found 3 of the Attack Cyberman set so I’ve finally got one. They had 3 of the 4th Dr set too but I didn’t buy that one because of the really creepy smile on the 4th Dr.
mick
September 14th, 2017 - 9:02pmgrimsby is a home store and we have had loads of them and we still have loads of them as the interest seems to have dried up. lucky if we sell one a week now!
Robert Watkins
August 24th, 2017 - 6:29pmI’ve written to B&M via the contact form and praised the range and made a plead for a 5th Doctor Tardis that was unreleased by Character Options/Underground Toys
https://www.bmstores.co.uk/contact/contact-form
Perhaps we could all try, even being positive about the range would show support. I had to chose compliment as no other option suited. Only took a few seconds to do.
The Outcast
September 14th, 2017 - 1:53pmI’d love to see the 5th Doctor TARDIS released. Classic TARDISes are rare as, so to have a Classic TARDIS both collectors and casuals can get would be sick.
Robert Parker
August 19th, 2017 - 12:39pmBooboo out of interest did they ever release a cybercontroller 2006 figure Single carded without its chest bolts because I’ve got one and I think it might be a factory error
booboo
August 19th, 2017 - 1:06pmdont remember it, its on a card? with no series number
Robert Parker
August 20th, 2017 - 1:26amYeah it’s not marked as series 2. I’ve researched it and every picture shows the figure with its chest bolts/rivets but mine just has a cyberman body with the controllers head
matt
August 17th, 2017 - 3:32pmjust got mine today so happy with this set as it has the cyber contoller and the new attack cyberman still dont know why they put the sontaran in it when they could have made it a cyber man set but still my favourte set out of the wave
Nathan
August 14th, 2017 - 11:32pmWhy is Doctor Who figures starting to get less and less every year now, Why is it not like it used to be years back?
booboo
August 15th, 2017 - 8:27ambecause they sold less and less to the point where the big retailers didn’t want them any more, there were more popular things to fill their shelves with and it wasn’t viable to make them.
Also over the years there has been more and more different merchandise for people to spend there money on.
Nathan
August 15th, 2017 - 4:32pmI hope this changes when series 11 comes.
Grant
August 13th, 2017 - 7:04pmQuite a few left still in Gorton B&M Manchester. Wasn’t going to get them but they’ve been in there for a while now and haven’t sold out so I went for it. Think they’ve only got 1 of the 4th & Monster set left, plenty of 9th set though (obviously, because who would want that Rose)
Robert
August 11th, 2017 - 8:44pmGot all three 2day at the Boston Branch.
Craig Dutton
August 11th, 2017 - 5:33pmIf you live in or around Chester then I found half a dozen sets (one full collection of each set at least) in the B & M homestore, Chester Retail Park, Sealand Road, Chester, CH1 4RY, today. Get there quick before they’re all gone!
Nathan
August 11th, 2017 - 12:37pmNot seen any of these sets at all in the B&M in gloucester town centre. Strange as they have had lots of the previous sets from past years
mick
August 6th, 2017 - 5:21pmonly 500 odd sets left at b&m central warehouse and that’s it.
Anonymous
August 6th, 2017 - 5:52pmHow many were there to start with?
mick
August 6th, 2017 - 6:08pmI think about getting on for 2 thousand

August 11th, 2017 - 12:06pmI’ve been looking for a week now, this comment made me give up hope. Said screw it and got it on EBaY.
Anonymous
August 11th, 2017 - 2:42pmNo! Knowing how rubbish my local store is I will never get the 4th Doctor set! All 3 figures I don’t have. Another repeat of last year. Only this year they only had 9th Doctor sets
mick
August 11th, 2017 - 5:53pmwe have loads in stock in Grimsby store and they arnt selling at all now.
The Silent Silent
August 11th, 2017 - 6:19pmMick, How many have the grimsby store got left ???? and is it just the 9th doctor set that isnt selling or are all of them not selling well now ??????
mick
August 11th, 2017 - 6:33pmabout 6x monster sets, 6x 4th doctor sets and about 9x 9th doctor sets
The Silent Silent
August 11th, 2017 - 6:48pmThats’s funny becuase my Local Store Lakeside didn’t have any the last time I went which was about 4 days ago !!!!
since I have been to b&m woolwich which had 2 of each set, so i bought 2 monster sets & 1 4th doctor set
Personally i think people are not buying the 9th doctor figure set becuase they are all re-releases with slight tweaks – no real variations e.g. black suit, pink shirt auton, blue shirt doctor etc

August 11th, 2017 - 7:08pmThe train journey from where I live to Grimsby would just take over 12 hours
mick
August 11th, 2017 - 7:09pmive bought all 3 sets
The Silent Silent
August 11th, 2017 - 7:17pmMick, Does the store manager choose what stock gets ordered in or is it done automatically by the stock system ?????
mick
August 11th, 2017 - 7:19pmits automatic but we can change how much of something we want so we up these sets.
Anonymous
August 11th, 2017 - 8:47pmMy local B&M told me they only had the 9th Doctor Set in & that was the last they would be getting in stock. Had to buy it off ebay as usual.
Dalek
August 13th, 2017 - 8:56amI thought they usually sold these sets up until Christmas. This sounds a bit far fetched in my opinion. Maybe the warehouse is going to get more. 2000 seems a tad small even for an exclusive line.
TheRavenMustBeFaced
August 2nd, 2017 - 9:07pmIs the Sontaran supposed to be the helmet-less Sontaran from “The Alliance” in The Pandorica Opens? I’ve realised that the Sontaran in the episode has this face and 3 spikes on the rank badge as well as a gun instead of the “Swagger Stick”!
The Werewolf
August 2nd, 2017 - 10:45pmThere are two variants, like with the Jo Grant in last years Third Doctor pack.
