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.

August 1st, 2017 - 7:47pmEnded up coming across another store today by chance and it was packed with sets compared to the other one, I think there was about eight all together. So picked up this set and now I’ve got all the ones I need!

July 29th, 2017 - 10:35pmBooboo my set came with a lot of quality control issues, such as the cyber controller missing pipes, do you know if there’s anyone I can email or contact about this as I don’t live near the store I purchased these from.
booboo
July 30th, 2017 - 8:42amall you can do is ring them 0151 728 5400
generally though you would need to return it to your nearest store
Dalek
July 30th, 2017 - 8:46amI had a similar problem and contacted them through email on their website
mick
July 30th, 2017 - 11:48amwhich store did you buy it from?
Dalek
August 1st, 2017 - 10:25pmI got mine from Bognor Regis, I’m still waiting on a reply to my Friday night email
mick
August 2nd, 2017 - 4:13pmmost likely just tell you to take it back to the store, did you not notice the faults when you bought it?
Dalek
August 2nd, 2017 - 11:32pmNo I didn’t. The main fault is that the K-9 figure has been coloured in with a sharpie!!
Dalek
July 28th, 2017 - 4:05pmThey have them in the Bognor Regis store…or did, only 9th Doctor set left now…sorry.
They also have the sonic screwdriver
The Contessa
July 29th, 2017 - 8:07pmHad all three in Jarrow store today but after I bought all 3 there was only 2 ninth doctor sets left. Oh, and 3 sonics.

July 26th, 2017 - 3:15pmI opened my set this morning and realized that the number of spikes on my Sontaran Skorr’s ID tag is actually five instead of the three that I have seen in other people’s pictures of the figure. I’m not sure if this is just mine but it’s odd all the same and adds to the confusion that this figure isn’t what it’s labelled as on the packaging.
mrcrazyesque
July 26th, 2017 - 5:39pmThat’s really odd. It’s like smiley faced/normal faced Jo all over again…
Judooning
July 26th, 2017 - 7:21pmMy Sontaran also has 5 spikes…
Production change? But surely they would have all been produced at the same time.
Dalek
July 27th, 2017 - 4:03pmThey seem to be getting two of each sets in each delivery, with one of both Sontarans
koloth
July 27th, 2017 - 4:54pmMine has 3!
mick
July 31st, 2017 - 8:15pmwe got 6 of these sets in today and only 1 had 5 spikes.

August 1st, 2017 - 7:55pmI was looking around to see if they’d been stocked, and caught the guy as he was wandering around with the box, working out where to put them all. I ended up taking a monsters and 4th set straight from the delivery box they’d come in.
Andy
July 25th, 2017 - 4:04pmManaged to pick up this set in Huddersfield today! Only one monster set on the shelf, but they had 3 each of the 4th and 9th Doctor sets? Chuffed that I managed to get hold of this, cos I never got the Earthshock Cyberman first time around, or the Cybercontroller…hurrah!

July 25th, 2017 - 10:43amAre these sets in gloucester yet?

July 25th, 2017 - 1:43pmNope. None.

July 25th, 2017 - 4:32pmOh! I was wrong! The Eastern Avenue store does have them! Only got one more Monsters set though!
Nathan
July 26th, 2017 - 5:42pmThanks. Have now got the monster set and 4th doctor set
Masterdoctorten
July 25th, 2017 - 10:11amThe sontaran in this set is exclusive. The black badge on the neck represents rank. So far the releases have been the Christopher Ryan head with 5 spikes or Dan Starkey with 3. This is Ryan with 3, meaning it is more accurate to the sontaran in ‘The Pandorica opens’ than the one in the underhenge set. It is not a plain re-release, it means you can have commanders with different heads serving a general or field marshal.
David
November 3rd, 2017 - 3:46pmSo the one with 3 spikes is a new variant?
Dalek4ever
July 24th, 2017 - 7:50pmJust got the 9th Dr set in Southampton store. One left. Also no sonics which is strange
Anonymous
July 24th, 2017 - 7:16pmAnyone know if they’ve got any in Norwich?
WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby?
July 24th, 2017 - 3:01pmI managed to get hold of this set today from one of my local stores after visiting two other stores yesterday where they had none of the sets in. They must be popular because there was only one Monsters set and one Ninth Doctor set left.
Tim M
July 24th, 2017 - 7:20pmThat’s why I bought the only figure I wanted on eBay. I just can’t be bothered to go round hunting for them. I could spend my days off better than looking everywhere for figures that are selling faster than hot cakes.
Exterminator
July 24th, 2017 - 12:22pmI think it’s time b&m had a dalek figure set. You can never have too many Daleks!
The Werewolf
July 24th, 2017 - 12:32pmThey had Dalek Collectors Set 2
Exterminator
July 24th, 2017 - 12:50pmYeah that’s true, I think it’s time for dalek collectors set 3.
Exterminator
July 24th, 2017 - 12:53pmI’d love a bronze Dalek figure where you can turn the gun and plunger a full 360 degrees independently from the head and body as seen in the episode ‘Dalek’.
The Outcast
July 24th, 2017 - 1:09pmDalek Collectors set 3 would be awesome!
(IDEA) Could include:
Dalek drone (the Dalek Invasion of Earth)
Suicide Dalek (Destiny of the Daleks)
Supreme Dalek (Remembrance)
Either that or one of the Daleks is a standard bronze NuWho one instead.
Dalek4ever
July 24th, 2017 - 1:24pmIn a photo I saw of series 9 behind the scenes photo with a red peter cushing Dalek. Could have That?
The Outcast
July 24th, 2017 - 1:54pmIt didn’t appear on screen so I don’t think they’ll do it, but it would be cool. I really want an Imperial Dalek, but they scrapped the moulds apparently. 🙁
Beats me why they scrapped that and kept the old Rose mould, but hey, that’s life ain’t it.
platon29
July 24th, 2017 - 6:05pmOutcast, that would actually be a really good set considering that this set has the collect and build cyber controller. The rare figures maybe should come back in these packs.
mrcrazyesque
July 24th, 2017 - 6:41pmI think the reason they don’t have the correct imperial dalek mould anymore is because they modified it for that TRU 7th Doctor and renegade set.
The Outcast
July 25th, 2017 - 10:49amBut why wouldn’t you keep a back up of the slats?
I still want an Imperial Dalek.
The Legend Doctor
August 2nd, 2017 - 3:23pmWasnt it only the supreme imperial that was scrapped?
Exterminator
July 24th, 2017 - 12:18pmI think I’m going to have to get this set just for the attack Cyberman, it’ll look great next to the black stealth version.
I already have the build version of the cyber controller and I’m so annoyed they didn’t make this a Cyberman triple pack. A clear version ‘ghost’ Cyberman instead of the sontaran would’ve been very cool.
Exterminator
July 24th, 2017 - 8:05pmEven better would be the nightmare in silver Cyberman in this scale.
Tim M
July 23rd, 2017 - 5:53pmI got myself the original ‘Cyber Controller’ figure on eBay. It’s the only figure in these sets I really wanted. I just couldn’t be bothered looking round B&M stores for the ‘Monster Set’. Knowing full well it would be the most popular set, and the one most difficult to purchase. I’m more than happy with the original ‘build it’ Cyber Controller.
Judooning
July 23rd, 2017 - 4:21pmJust got the Monster set and the 4th Dr set from the Grimsby store. I’ll get the 9th Dr set next week.
I’m extremely happy with them. Every single figure is far superior to it’s previous release with the way the paint jobs have been applied. Leela especially. Her skin and clothes are so much neater than her first release and the joints are a lot more stable. Same to be said for the 4th Dr.
And the classic K9…WOAH!! He looks fantastic! They’ve even painted the window/screen on his other side white. He no longer includes a removable panel or “pull back and go” feature. but this is for the better as it feels less like a toy and more like a proper model.
The Cyberman is lovely. Brilliant paint etc. Sontaran seems much more detailed in the face from it’s last release. They’ve given him a better face application to really highlight the wrinkles. And the Cyber Controller is without a doubt 100% better now. The brain detailing stands out much more. Almost has a 3D effect to it.
If CO were to re-release more figures like this, with updated paint apps then i’d be all for more re-releases!

July 24th, 2017 - 3:07pmi noticed 2 had gone.

July 24th, 2017 - 3:30pmMick,
I thought you might know if a store is running out of the sets, will they get anymore?
mick
July 24th, 2017 - 6:52pmthe computer should order some more in once it gets down to its minimum stock level. they come in in boxes of 6 containing 2 of each set.
Dalek4ever
July 24th, 2017 - 7:49pmDo they come Weekly? Fortnightly?
mick
July 24th, 2017 - 8:15pmmost stores get a delivery every weekday so if anymore are on order they could arrive any time.
LastOfTheSonics
July 23rd, 2017 - 4:00pmBeen to the Southend store. Nothing in stock at all. I asked the staff, and apparently they’re getting stock in tomorrow regarding Doctor Who items. I’ll go back tomorrow and will update if there’s anything new.

July 21st, 2017 - 1:36pmlooking forward tot his set, i already have the original release cyber controller and i have staal, but the attack cyberman will go nicely with my earthshock one, and i plan to use staal for a repaint custom with the original series black and silver color scheme. any news on whether it is staying as staal with the skorr packaging, or are the final releases going to have the skorr figure or change the name on the box ?.
Stevennn
July 22nd, 2017 - 1:03pmIt says Skorr on the packaging

July 20th, 2017 - 8:16pmI’m only interested in the Cyberman box set. I bet I will struggle to find it. I’ll be phoning round all the stores like that J R Hartley guy in that old ‘Yellow Pages’ advert. 🙂
Bunter
July 23rd, 2017 - 6:15pmI hear you, although I found that all three of last year’s sets hung around in my local store (St Neots) for a long time, so I assumed the appetite for DW figures amongst the general public is low, and maybe it will be similar this year, after the initial rush by collectors. I’d bought all last years as soon as I saw them, despite not really being able to afford it, but it turned out that wasn’t necessary in the end.
