Doctor Who Time Zone Playset Cold War 1983
Cold War 1983 Time Zone Playset
Key Features
· 3D card diorama playset
· Clip the sets together to build bigger ‘zones’
· In scale with the Doctor Who 3.75-inch action figures
· Each playset includes 1 x exclusive accessory or figurine
Collect and build the universe of Doctor Who with these 3D card diorama playsets that feature different time zones visited by the Doctor in the hit TV series.
You can travel between different time zones or clip the sets together to build bigger ‘zones’.
The playsets are in scale with the Doctor Who 3.75-inch action figures so you can create your own adventures or simply display your collection.
There are two Time Zone playsets to collect.
Cold War; 1983 – In the cold waters of the Southern Arctic Ocean a Russian nuclear submarine is returning from patrol. As the ‘Cold War’ between the Americans and Russians drags on, tensions run high as the crew constantly run missile launch simulation drills.
Also on board is a high ranking Russian scientist with a rapidly thawing block of ice – a block of ice which contains a mysterious creature.
When the creature revives, breaks loose and rampages through the ship, the Submarine loses all power and starts to sink, plunging deeper with every passing second.
The TARDIS materialises on board and, with mere seconds to spare, the Doctor saves the submarine but leaves it stranded and crippled 700 metres down. But that is the least of his worries when the Doctor realises they are up against one of his oldest and coldest enemies.
Cold War Time Zone Playset includes 1 exclusive Ice Warrior ‘Creature’ figurine. One supplied. For ages 5 years and over.

April 28th, 2013 - 8:28amAnd the award for most innacurate figure goes to chacter options with their ice warrior ‘creature’, beating long -time winners dapol, and their elongated pertwee, green k9 and two arms davros. Honourable mention – the five sided tardis console!
josh smith
April 28th, 2013 - 8:30amdont forget CO “classic k9”
Joethewhovian
April 28th, 2013 - 9:00amOh yeah lol k9 has it rough when it comes to figures
Dalek The Supreme

April 26th, 2013 - 4:32pm£6.99 a figure, £9.99 a playset
Sebatron
April 26th, 2013 - 12:36pmI like this and the missile coming up from the corner
McGann is the Doctor
April 26th, 2013 - 11:25amThis is good of them but I will not get it because I think it was more interesting to see just the face and hands of the true creature.
Also, I find it implausible that the original creature is humanoid, given what it does in the episode.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
April 26th, 2013 - 10:37amLooks nothing like the Ice Warrior creature himself seen in the episode, and the figure it not even green which the skin of an Ice Warrior is.
Liason Ice
April 26th, 2013 - 9:13amIts cool to see what the rest of the Ice Warrior looks like
LC
April 26th, 2013 - 8:24amWow. This has to be a first from this company. A model of a creature that looks nothing like it did on telly. Certainly not in the episode that I saw when the Ice Warrior revealed itself
Mumble5557 Productions
April 26th, 2013 - 6:38amBuying this one first hopefully with the Doctor + Clara + Ice Warrior (Standard Release)
Justjeulin
April 25th, 2013 - 11:10pmGotta say, been thinking and these do look pretty cool. Especially for a figure adventure. Might get this.
Rooners
April 25th, 2013 - 10:23pmThese are pretty cool….especially if you’re into toy photography. I would love to see the concept art of the Ice Warrior creature…shame we didn’t actually get to see the full thing in the episode.
Am I right in thinking that the dioramas pictured a the London Toy fair were for the 5 inch range….do you know if they changed their mind or if there will be two different lines?
booboo
April 25th, 2013 - 10:29pmno they are still happening but the 5″ ones are more like just backgrounds rather than 3d sets like these
Doctor Who Crazy Ross

April 25th, 2013 - 8:02pmis the ice warrior creature(the one exclusive to this set)posable?
booboo
April 25th, 2013 - 8:05pmits says its a figurine so probably no
Doctor Who Crazy Ross
April 25th, 2013 - 8:49pmI think (by the looks of it) the head may be posable, but the body looks like it’s a figurine type action figure…. I love this btw!!
