Doctor Who Diamond Classic Doomsday 5″ Set
Diamond Classic is an unofficial title give to a series of re-releases issued in “Diamond” packaging. These re-releases were distributed mostly in the USA and Australia by Underground Toys. Some eventually found their way to the UK.
Isn’t tomorrow doomsday? Well, not really. It is, however, time for Doctor Who enthusiasts to glom onto these wonderful action figures from the “Doomsday” episode of the popular BBC series.
Features…
- 10th Doctor with 3D Glasses
- Dalek Sec with Updated Tooling
- Cybermen
- Updated “Diamond Classic” Packaging
This out-of-this-world giftset presents 3 faithfully replicated 5-inch characters: Doctor Who, Cyberman, and Black Dalek. Use them to recreate your favorite scenes or exciting new adventures! Ages 5 and up.
The doomsday set was first released in 2006 the UK with a long coated 10th Doctor, Dalek Sec and Cyberman. A Second release in 2007 saw the 10th Doctor replaced with a Version with no coat and 3D Glasses.
The Diamond Classic release was the first set to feature a newly tooled and much more accurate Dalek Sec (shown left). The differences can be clearly seen in the Neck, Gun and Base.

February 14th, 2014 - 1:10pmMy series 2 Cyberman all went black. They became all like black with little spots of silver on them. Anybody else having this problem and is ther e away to fix it?
Scott
February 14th, 2014 - 3:52pmI had this problem, I’ve painted mine over in acrylic silver but it won’t stop the brush marks, it’s because they were sculpted in black
The Big Friendly Button
February 15th, 2014 - 11:31amYeah I have had the same problem with my Cybermen as well,i just hope it is not the same case with these new cybermen.
CyberSlave2014
February 16th, 2014 - 1:23pmI washed my a bit and i could see the silver starting to come back somehow.
The Other
February 14th, 2014 - 1:10amAtT LAST!!!
I can finally get this here in Britain (where everything Doctor Who should rightfully and logically be released first) AND not have to pay a ridiculous amount of extra cash!
😀 😀 😀

February 13th, 2014 - 11:43pmYAY! CAN GET IT NOW 🙂 going to ask it for my birthday!
TheDayofTheDoctors
February 2nd, 2014 - 9:55amI got the new version today for $60 not bad great (thought the 10th Doctor is not a great one I got a bad one that’s all but Sec is awesome!!) KITA!!!

January 29th, 2014 - 1:43amI bought this from The Who Shop in London (yes, probably the ONLY place in the UK with the US re-releases in stock) and I’m enjoying it!
Apart from the fact it cost me £40, but hey, new sculpt Sec, Tennant in newly sculpted glasses (More accurate than from the S2 tesco set) and hard plastic head/hands (like TRU 10Doctor with Dalek), and a cyberman with slightly larger hands, I’m not complaining!
Radburn
January 29th, 2014 - 2:23amAh…The days of living in London where you could hop upon the tube & find anything you wanted in the shops. Now that I’m out in the sticks I can find bugger all!

February 3rd, 2014 - 6:50amDid they have the Tom Baker re-release
The Silent Silent
February 3rd, 2014 - 6:57am@Mumble5557 Online when I went to the WHO shop a few weeks ago they had the 4th doctor re-release for £24.99

January 21st, 2014 - 8:41pmGetting tired of all these Diamond Classic re-releases being non-UK because that means they don’t show up in Ireland either. I would have bought a lot this along with The Captain jack re-release and the laser screwdriver.

January 21st, 2014 - 2:15pmAt last!
A properly proportioned Dalek Sec!
It was a pain in the butt, modifying and repairing my old one (I didn’t like the fat weapon arm and stumpy manipulator arm, and his head/dome wouldn’t rotate completely. Changed the arms, and repaired the head).
tardiskeysince1963
January 19th, 2014 - 2:52pmWhen will we get a 5″ David tenant with the ‘new’ sculpt without accessories? It seems to be the most obvious idea, the new sculpt on the old body with proper articulation but whenever it appears he always go something on his head. It annoys me deeply…
will
January 15th, 2014 - 7:26pmI got the original
WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby
January 15th, 2014 - 3:49pmGot this from The Who Shop.com today and am very pleased with it! For so long I have wanted a New Mould of Dalek Sec and thought that it should have come with The Tenth Doctor in the Toys R Us Dalek Twin Pack instead of The Crucible Dalek. But I guess now it doesn’t matter because I have it!
Robert Langham
January 15th, 2014 - 12:27pmWhen is this going to be available in the uk
booboo
January 15th, 2014 - 12:37pmits probably wont be
StetsonDoctor
January 13th, 2014 - 9:58pmThe Who Shop is back up now, this set and others available there for £40
Radburn
January 14th, 2014 - 4:44amStill problems on the site – Very wary of using it at the moment. Some pages coming up blank, refusing to allow Paypal only credit cards (Phishing?) & when trying to go through the Order process it won’t complete correctly – Still dodgy if you ask me…
RexisnotyourDoctor
January 14th, 2014 - 1:15pmYeah it seems to have cleared Google checks but my antivirus is still flagging it as a phishing risk and initially blocking access with a “on your head be it” style warning. I’m not risking it until this changes.
booboo
January 14th, 2014 - 1:26pmif you want it why not ring them to see if you can order over the phone?
RexisnotyourDoctor
January 14th, 2014 - 10:52pmI can’t speak for others, but as with brick and mortar shops I prefer to browse before I buy. I’m mainly interested in the blue suit Ten figure rather than the Doomsday set.
Durge
January 12th, 2014 - 3:14amGot this from mt local ABC shop. It’s a great set!
Durge
January 12th, 2014 - 3:15amSorry, meant ‘my’, not ‘mt’.
tardiskeysince1963
January 11th, 2014 - 9:18pmDoes anyone know where the Laser screwdriver can be purchased in the uk?
The Silent Silent
January 12th, 2014 - 10:27amI think you can buy it from the Who shop directly for £39.99
tardiskeysince1963
January 12th, 2014 - 4:29pmthat much? wow
tardiskeysince1963
January 12th, 2014 - 4:30pmit keeps saying it has malware on it. off all the places to be infected 🙁
Gallifrey Falls No More
January 11th, 2014 - 9:01pmI got the original set years ago. They were the first figures I got. I would have got this if I didn’t already have a billion david tenants and cybermen, because both my Dalek Secs are broken.
Anonymous
January 11th, 2014 - 8:31pmBooboo or anyone else, do you know if they going to do more of these Diamond Classics?

January 11th, 2014 - 8:31pmIf so it be awesome!

January 10th, 2014 - 8:29amI’m just letting everybody know that I saw a review on youtube for the re released rivers sonic and apparently it does not have the other colour setting or the neutral relay in case anyone was intending on buying it.
booboo
January 10th, 2014 - 8:53amthese do (as in the one shown above), its the cheaper general release ones that dont
Jacob
January 10th, 2014 - 5:25pmIf you want these and are from the uk then go to “thewhoshop” in upton park/westham stadium!
CG
January 11th, 2014 - 1:35amOh ok
JaffaCakes
January 10th, 2014 - 8:25amOutrageous that this isn’t available over here!
TARDISGuy
January 10th, 2014 - 1:27amI bought this set with Christmas money and it’s pretty damn good. The Cyberman is a bit ordinary but the tweaked Dalek Sec looks better and the revised Tennant head sculpt with the 3D glasses is fun. Just a shame the Tennant figure still doesn’t have bicep and thigh articulation like the other Doctors.
ahunter8056
January 10th, 2014 - 6:27pmPersonally I would find that a plus. The arms fall off my Eleventh Doctor figures at the bicep all the time. And it’s not just the same figure, it’s every Eleventh Doctor figure.
TARDISGuy
January 11th, 2014 - 1:35amYeah, but it means all the Tennant figures look weird when trying to move in the same way as the other Doctors, plus he can’t use his sonic screwdriver properly. There’s only one Doctor I’ve had joint problems with and that was the 8th Doctor from the Doctor/Dalek two pack (his right arm never stays in). I was very disappointed.
dalek eternal
January 11th, 2014 - 1:21pmI have the exact same problem with the 8th dr toys r us set
ahunter8056
January 9th, 2014 - 8:35pmIt’s ridiculous that these are not being sold in the UK. Sure, they were sold in the UK years ago, but either not everyone was aware of their existence, or they simply missed out. Not only that, but these figures are updated.
Surely some website must be willing to sell these at a reasonable price.
captin jake
January 9th, 2014 - 8:26pmI love it its so awesome so going to get it
Nathan
January 9th, 2014 - 7:39pmIngot this from popcultcha when they had it on offer. Bought it with 3.75 chase variants and no custom charge
booboo
January 9th, 2014 - 7:44pmi got loaded with 20% vat and £16.50 handling AND import charges, this set cost me £70, selling it on eaby now to try and recoup loses as i cant afford to keep it

The Silent Silent
January 9th, 2014 - 7:49pmBooboo, whats your ebay name so I can see what you have for sale??
Also, You can buy this in the UK from WHO SHOP for £40
booboo
January 9th, 2014 - 7:51pmhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/boooboodog
i dont do much now, been on there for years and used to do loads, ebay make it very hard for small sellers now, they are only interested in the big retailers
booboo
January 9th, 2014 - 7:51pmwish i had known that would have got if from them
The Silent Silent
January 9th, 2014 - 8:00pmBooboo, Do you think £25 each for the any of the new diamond packaging figures is a fair price as the who shop has these too???
They have
Captain Jack
4th doctor wave 1 version
10th doctor with spikey hair & blue suit
10th doctor with combned hair & grey shirt
booboo
January 9th, 2014 - 8:03pmit would cost more than that to get them posted from the USA individually probably but they are essentially £10 figures
They must have got some shipped in,
I have all of those here but have yet to take pictures, once i have i will be selling those as well, they just cost me far to much to warrant keeping them
The Silent Silent
January 9th, 2014 - 8:12pmWhen You sell the Diamond boxed figures, will they Be Brand New in their boxes or will they be opened with original packaging ??
booboo
January 9th, 2014 - 8:13pmthey will be new i wont open those
I also have the companions set
The Silent Silent
January 9th, 2014 - 8:16pmHow much for the Companions set ???
How much for each diamond boxed figure ??
booboo
January 9th, 2014 - 8:21pmi will start the figures at £14.99 and the companion set at £49, i actually stand to loose a great deal on these figures

January 10th, 2014 - 12:04pmWARNING: I have tried to purchase this item from The Who Shop but keep getting alerted to the website being infected with malware – I tried 2-3 times & got the same message each time. So please be aware until they fix it…
booboo
January 10th, 2014 - 12:07pmthat must be recent, I’m getting that as well, being picked up by all 3 of my checkers and google
Radburn
January 10th, 2014 - 12:12pmYes, just ‘phoned them up to report it & they told me their Website guy was working on it at this moment…
DiavoloFelice
January 13th, 2014 - 7:59amBooboo you could try selling on ebid, cheaper than eBay and can still use PayPal for transactions, only thing is less people use it so it’s better to set the items you sell at the value you want to sell them at.
Dominic Kane
January 9th, 2014 - 7:01pmHow come uk arnt able to get it?
Anonymous
January 9th, 2014 - 7:36pmBecause no shops in the UK would take it.

Wish they were available here
BUY ME
January 9th, 2014 - 6:23pmgot the original but i broke all of sec parts of and scratched it so it turned gold and my sister thought the doctors glasses and coat were removable broke the glasses of and opened the coat.

JaffaCakes
January 9th, 2014 - 6:16pmLooks great – Doctor’s arms a bit splayed?
booboo
January 9th, 2014 - 6:17pmthat because he was still in the packaging when the picture was taken
