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.

Booboo Jr
June 2nd, 2013 - 7:16amAlthough the Ice Warrior figure out of it’s casing doesn’t look brilliant, the set itself looks great so I will look out for this.

May 31st, 2013 - 11:04pmi really want this set. i think it would be great for scene recreations. the figure wasnt what i hoped for. i imagined the ice warrior ‘creature’ a bit like a frog. the head on it is comepletly wrong. what i hoped for was a swappable head on it so you could put the ‘creature’ head onto the armourd one but never mind. cant wait to get my hands on it
Sam Bentley
May 31st, 2013 - 10:45pmOkay I have come to the decision that the ‘naked’ Ice Warrior is the most incorrect figure I have ever seen. Skaldak never looked like that, I’ll link a picture of what it should look like. I know, I shouldn’t be hating on it but honestly it looks nothing like it did in the episode!

booboo
May 31st, 2013 - 10:47pmas i have said before i suspect that character just had drawings to go from and the figure and gone into production before the cgi on the episode was finished
Sam Bentley
May 31st, 2013 - 10:49pmYes, I imagine that was the case… you never know they might create a new version like they have with figures in the past.
Scott the Raptor
May 31st, 2013 - 10:51pmI don’t mind that. The only thing I don’t like is that the unarmoured one has a pink mouth and the armoured has a green mouth. It won’t look like it’s the same creature. That’s not going to stop me from buying it though.
DWTODWFA
May 31st, 2013 - 11:05pmI looks more like its an alien from Rings, on the Official BBC Doctor Who Website check the Rings of Akhaten monster/behind the scenes images (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/galleries/p017cbk9) and one of the first ones is a blue version of this figure which i suspect was the original Ice Warrior creature and then they decided to use CGI but CO obviously didn’t get sent the CGI version.

May 31st, 2013 - 11:06pmmakes sense

May 31st, 2013 - 8:47pmWhen you get time can you post a picture of this and the dalek set clipped together?
McGann is The Doctor
May 31st, 2013 - 8:12pmThis looks cool apart from the so called Ice Warrior (it’s wrong for so many reasons: wrong colour, no articulation, bad paint job and most obvious of all the creature inside the Ice Warrior suit was NOT humanoid)
and the Tardis looks weird ❓
auton101
May 31st, 2013 - 5:18pmWell theres one obvious error, the actual naked warrior was green not pink.
The Saint
May 31st, 2013 - 5:00pmBooboo, please could you show pictures of the
set itself and the instructions? How big is the box?
booboo
May 31st, 2013 - 5:01pmi dont have much time today but will try to do lots tomorrow
Mister
May 31st, 2013 - 4:34pmOn the naked one, the hands are huge, so they wouldn’t fit in the smaller hands on the armour.
Dan23
May 31st, 2013 - 2:31pmLooks quite good, but BooBoo has your creature got mis-painted eyes?
