Doctor Who Caves of the Androzani figure Set

Doctor Who – Caves of the Androzani Set

Please note although just announced in the UK this item has been for sale at retail level in Australia for some time.

The Fifth Doctor and Peri arrive on Androzani Minor, the source of a life-prolonging drug called spectrox. Production of the drug is controlled by Sharaz Jek, a facially deformed madman in self imposed exile, who blames Morgus, a powerful industrialist on Androzani Major, for all his misfortunes. Jek is fighting Morgus’ troops on a daily basis using his android army.

Jek’s android weapons are supplied by gun-runners employed by Morgus, who then receives payment in refined spectrox. But, Jek becomes infatuated with Peri and saves her and the Doctor from execution by Morgus’ troops only to hold them prisoner himself. They escape Jek but contract spectrox toxaemia, a fatal condition with only one antidote – milk from a giant queen bat.

In a climactic battle, Morgus, Jek and all the soldiers are killed. The Doctor now dying, carries Peri back to the TARDIS, where he gives her the antidote. She recovers, but the Doctor has to regenerate to save his own life.

    Hi all – I just got an unopened one of these from eBay and my peri figure came with two left hands! Did anyone else see this or know anything about this ?

      In fact on looking at it further it seems like they’ve put two left arms on the figure!

    November 1st, 2011 - 11:56pm

    The figure of Peri is a great figure, but I don’t think the likeness is really convincing enough, ughh, could have done better. Should have given the figure a younger Peri face, this is her more mature face we see. :/

    But as far as the 5″ figures go, it’s about as good as the Peri from Vengeance on Varos so it IS well worth getting. 🙂

      November 1st, 2011 - 11:58pm

      Yeah, if you look at the pictures of her from Caves, and then back at the figure, the actual PERI from this episode is much younger face than her action figure representation seems.

      It should have gone with some adjustment to the face, make her represent this younger Peri who was just new to Dr Who at the time. ❗

      They should, though. The Series 6 Doctor figures are a perfect realisation of Matt Smith, and all other figures should be to the same standard. This figure doesn’t even have a top lip.

    • DALEK

      November 2nd, 2011 - 4:34pm

      Not all of them are going to look like the Actors! I’m just glad that they’ve made a figure of them. I would rather have the figure then not have one at all, even if it does not look exactly like the actor!

      Nah I doubt they would make a shiny Master, I’ve seen it but they wouldn’t release it with Peri, the Peri is from Attack of The Cybermen.

      I hope they make a Planet of Fire set, except one that has Peter Davison in his costume from Lanzarote. 😉

      where he asks “What about you Doctor all those friends of yours, who have you got ?” And the Doctor answerd:

      ” They’ve all got someone else. But that’s fine, I’m FINE.”
      and I began to wonder, how BC did his acting for that scene, because it jsut seemed so real to me, it didn’t occur to me that it was acting atall. 😯

    Some ppl say they would be willing to buy more figures form this story, the Maagma Beast (eughh, 🙁 ) and the Androids/Drones/Droids that Sharaz Jek made.

    I know it’s a bit off the point, but I wish they would bring back The Sarah Jane Adventures action figures. I mean, take the Trickster or Androvax for instance, I reckon they’d look great as action figures! I hope it is something that Character Options would consider doing 🙂

      Yes! An attic play set, that would be awesome! More so if it included an electronic Mr. Smith! And I thought that it was a good idea to release them in double packs, a hero action figure alongside a monster.

      They gave up the lisence and have no intention of going back, they won’t even release a Sarah Jane SMith figure even as a tribute to Elisabeth Sladen as they think it would be “disrespectful”.

    • Tom97

      October 26th, 2011 - 11:10pm

      If that’s the case, then I think it was a really big mistake for Character Options to have discontinued this action figure range. They were a great accompaniment to the show and, not trying to make light of a bad situation, but seeing as the series isn’t going to continue on the TV, then at least it would live on in some form. As they said, “the story goes on forever” 🙂

      The reason it is considered disrespectful is that they are making money after the death of a well loved person. Remember these people don’t play with toys, they don’t think of it the way you do.
