Cyberman Bust and Illustrated Book Pictures
Doctor Who: Cyberman Bust and Illustrated Book
Officially licensed by the BBC, this kit includes a bust of one of the Doctor arch enemies–the Cybermen, plus a 32-page book on Doctor Who’s history with the Cybermen, featuring full-color photos throughout.
Available to order from www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk or www.amazon.co.uk
USA customers can order this item from www.amazon.com
The Book – Doctor Who: Cyberman
Despite their appearance, the Cybermen are not robots. They were once humans, but have used cybernetic parts to replace limbs and organs, augmenting their organic brains with implants and computer programming.
They are silver giants, encased in mechanical survival suits with their trademark “ear handles” the only aspect of cyber design that has not changed over the years.
The other aspect that remains constant is their lack of emotion and their reliance on logic.
So near yet so far– many customisers had hoped this would be a good base for a 5″ Cyberman but sadly its just a little to large, although some may consider it better than nothing!
Image for size comparison only, Bust wont fit over any existing figure as it stands.
Also available in this range – Dalek Collectible Figurine and Illustrated Book
The Tardis with light-up feature…
Coming soon – Sonic screwdriver kit

Doctor Who Crazy Ross
September 27th, 2013 - 1:28amIs the box a promo image from before the release, cos the bust is different to the picture (Neck design, top of head etc)
I Ended the Time War
September 26th, 2013 - 5:56pmDo you have to make the bust?
I Ended the Time War

September 26th, 2013 - 8:54amplastic, however its well finished and has a metal feel to it
Radburn

Dark Lord
September 25th, 2013 - 11:53pmI got mine from SuperBookDeals – a vendor on Amazon UK – £1.84 + £2.80 p & p. That’s the cheapest I’ve seen them.
Dalek Comand
September 25th, 2013 - 5:09pmThe Dalek is disproportioned but not badly. It is quite good quality for the money. The Tardis is very good especially with the light. Again good quality at the price.
Dalek sec
September 26th, 2013 - 9:25amReminds me of the old RTD Dalek sculpts by character.
HornsOfAzal
September 25th, 2013 - 5:03pmI wonder when someone will have the idea of producing a box set with a figure of every variant of cyberman specifically for display…..Ive given up on Characters options and underground toys and whoever backs them completing the set now…..
Fezmeister
September 25th, 2013 - 4:30pmThe face looks disproportionate and it’s smaller than I expected. Saying that, it is fairly cheap. Hm.
Trenzalore
September 25th, 2013 - 3:56pmBeen wanting this for a while, do we know how big it is (in centimetres if possible)
Trenzalore
September 25th, 2013 - 3:57pmThe cyber bust that is
booboo
September 25th, 2013 - 3:59pm75mm from the bottom of the stand to the top
Trenzalore
September 25th, 2013 - 4:02pmOkay, thanks 🙂 So is that 7.5cm then?
booboo
September 25th, 2013 - 4:05pmthat’s it, its in scale on that picture just overlaid – its so close but not quite, look nice on the shelf though
Trenzalore
September 25th, 2013 - 4:21pmOh yeah, I will hopefully get it then, should look brilliant!
the mr master
September 25th, 2013 - 3:41pmthe dalek is dis proportioned
HornsOfAzal
September 25th, 2013 - 3:17pmIve got to say they can keep augmenting the cybermen as much as they like but they still dont look as good as the classic variations…..
Dalek Comand
September 25th, 2013 - 4:32pmAgree. The old ones were best but the last design was ok. Cannot understand why change. We’ll perhaps I can, it’s called merchandise.
Dalek sec
September 26th, 2013 - 9:31amThe 2006 cybermen were just blend in my opinion. These new designs actually remind me of the classic series cybermen. They were pretty awesome. The perfect cybermen would be a mix of the tenth planet and nightmare in sliver designs in my opinion. Nevertheless Daleks are superior to the cybermen in every way. We have a bigger audience!!
Dalek Comand
September 26th, 2013 - 1:26pmDaleks rule!
Dominic Kane
September 25th, 2013 - 3:04pmso you can put that new cyberman thing over a 5 inch cyberman figure?
booboo
September 25th, 2013 - 3:09pmno only if you cut them all up, pictures is for a size comparison
Dominic Kane
September 25th, 2013 - 5:40pmso there wont be anyway to take it off the stand then 🙁
booboo
September 25th, 2013 - 5:41pmno you have to cut into it
Dominic Kane
September 25th, 2013 - 10:27pmoh right so i still could try and make a custom cyberman
booboo
September 25th, 2013 - 10:34pmyou could , not sure how you could do it but worth a try
HornsOfAzal
September 25th, 2013 - 2:57pmHow much is the cyberman bust… FP did an offer on the last new series cyber-bust and I got it for 6.99…..One of the best Who bargains I had.
booboo
September 25th, 2013 - 3:03pmyou probably bought a cards inc bust, they did Jabe and slitheen and they were sold of really cheaply, they were excellent, several inches high
this one is small and no comparison to those, these sell for £6-£7 but you do get a small book as well
HornsOfAzal
September 25th, 2013 - 3:08pmYes thats the one the busts of Jabe and the slitheen were good but I didnt like either character – the cyberman one was a superb bargain for the price I got it for….One of the few new series pieces of merchandise I like.
Dark Lord
September 25th, 2013 - 2:26pmLovely models…, I have these.
The Cyberman is nice.
The clear and overt ‘Iron Man’ influence on the design of the new Cybermen annoys me, however. Another problem I had with them was that they were too small….! The Cybermen should always be taller than almost everyone else.
That was something I liked about the ‘Cybus’ Cybermen- they looked formidable and were big!
Dalek Comand
September 25th, 2013 - 4:42pmI am glad I am not the only one who thought this. I would go as far as saying that they are also starting to look a bit like Twiki from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.
Younger members may like to Google “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century” to see what I am talking about.
Dark Lord
September 25th, 2013 - 7:32pmActually….., that never occurred to me, but now you mention it……, yes – you’re right!??
ParadigmDalek1325
September 25th, 2013 - 2:18pmLooks pretty cool.
TheWhomobile
May 15th, 2013 - 4:03pmbooboo how big is the cyberman?
booboo
May 15th, 2013 - 4:04pmi dont know, but i hope close to 5″ scale, which it could be, i will get sent one as soon as they are available
Clayderman
June 3rd, 2013 - 5:16pmI saw the Dalek/TARDIS boxes in FP, They were SOOO TINY! No sign of a Cyberman tho… 🙁 They were both the same scale in height, I highly consider the Cybermen busts to be small, (Just a little taller than the new 3.75″ figures)
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
April 25th, 2013 - 8:16amthey’re all quite cool.

April 24th, 2013 - 10:30pmWhy do I keep visiting this site and seeing so many things I want to buy when I need to conserve my money?!
the astronaut of death
April 24th, 2013 - 4:37pmI only want the cyberman one
booboo
April 24th, 2013 - 4:38pmthese are really nice little sets, i hope the cyberman looks as good as it does in the pictures
the astronaut of death
April 24th, 2013 - 4:39pmhow big are they
booboo
April 24th, 2013 - 4:41pmsmall but nice, the Dalek is about 8cm high
the astronaut of death
April 24th, 2013 - 4:44pmcan you get them at the bbc shop
booboo
April 24th, 2013 - 4:45pmcant see them on there yet
Jack
April 24th, 2013 - 4:14pmBooboo do you know how much this will cost hope its only £4.99 like the dalek and tardis
booboo
April 24th, 2013 - 4:17pmits on Amazon for £5.88 but look for discounts
trenzalore
April 24th, 2013 - 4:04pmi don’t realy like the new design of the cybermen, they are a bit over the top
cyberman2
April 24th, 2013 - 4:06pmi think they look brilliant
trenzalore
April 24th, 2013 - 4:07pmi dont like how many ridges there are
auton101
April 24th, 2013 - 8:50pmThey’re the mondas cybermen anyway, not the parallel world ones. And i really like them, they won’t do that ridiculous stomp anymore which is great and they are more flexible. Plus they have related it back to the tomb of the cybermen design.
Peter
April 24th, 2013 - 4:03pmthat’s the new cybermen
Please say that bust is in scale with 5″ figures it will make my day
Santos24681
