Doctor Who Experience Preview Merchandise
Doctor Who Experience Preview Merchandise
Thursday 17th February saw the first of three Doctor Who experience preview days before the official launch which took place on the 20th February. Part of the ticket price included various items of merchandise including limited edition prints and souvenirs.
The Souvenir brochure: Like the Doctor Who live equivalent this is a very high quality brochure with an introduction by “The Doctor”. Includes articles on the restoration of props, the Doctors Costumes and a brief history of the Doctors themselves.
The extras: A card holder, credit card sized ” i was one of the first” ticket and neck lanyard
The Cybermen Print: High quality print with certificate ( shown covering the image). Limited to 3500.
The Seal: Each of the main items has an embossed or printed special seal. The one below is embossed onto the Cyberman Print.
The Carrier Bag: The compulsory carrier bag, but this actually plays an important part in the Experience itself!
Exclusive Merchandise: A range of Exclusive Doctor Who experience merchandise will be available shortly.
The Shop: A few views of the merchandise shop at The Experience showing just a small selection of the items on offer. Most of the series 5 figures had sold out even on the first day. I’m sure fresh stocks will be on sale shortly. The exclusive merchandise has yet to arrive.
The Breif: The brief from BBC Worldwide was to create a retail extension of the Doctor Who brand experience.
The Doctor Who Experience promises to be a spectacular event, featuring an exhilarating walk-through adventure, where visitors can step into a full recreation of the Eleventh Doctor’s TARDIS, and an ‘out of this world’ exhibition featuring iconic Doctor Who props and costumes from its 47 year history.
This is the first ever fully immersive Doctor Who attraction – an unprecedented opportunity for fans to step through a crack in time and take part in their own Doctor Who adventure in the role of the Doctor’s companion. Their challenge will be to reunite the Doctor with the TARDIS whilst facing some of the best-loved and most-feared monsters from the hit series, including a Dalek spaceship and Weeping Angels.
Left: Tardis shaped display unit to promote the Character console playset. It had a made up set on display in the top of the unit.
The Wifi: The advertised Wifi works successfully giving you a whole load of extra information relating to the monsters and aliens at the Doctor Who Experience and discounts in the shop.
The gallery: Our pictures from the Exhibition, there are no “experience” spoilers in the images but if you want to go unspoilt for the exhibits then dont look!

February 22nd, 2011 - 4:28pmemailed character askin about river or rory this is what they replied!!!!!!!We have no current plans to produce a Rory or River Figure. Many rumours spread around lots of various Dr Who forums, and the only advice we can give is to await the official release details for accurate information. 😥

February 22nd, 2011 - 9:59ambooboo everywhere i go the series 5 boxset is around £60 in the image its says ‘great dvd offers’ is the boxset cheaper there and how much will it be?
booboo
February 22nd, 2011 - 10:03amno the DVD’s are at Full RRP but if you have the iphone thing you get discounts, i think it was 15% off DVD’s if i remember. we were there on the first day so things may have changed.

February 22nd, 2011 - 8:37amthanks, i’m hoping to get the Supreme, scientist and eternal dalek to finish off my dalek paradigm. Are the daleks usual £10-ish?
booboo
February 22nd, 2011 - 9:08amfrom what i remember they were £9.99 for the figures
WhoEleven
February 22nd, 2011 - 8:26ami think the figures are just normal price so you could get one of those, don’t know.
The thing i would like to know is, the exclusive merchandise, will some of that be figures?
booboo
February 22nd, 2011 - 8:30ammuch as we would like it , i doubt it to be honest – there is huge potential for released figures but in special packaging or sets but i dont think we will see that either.

Tom
February 21st, 2011 - 9:15pmIve noticed they’ve taken off the shop link on the offical dr who experience website, but will there be a online shop to buy the merchandise?
booboo
February 21st, 2011 - 9:38pmyes i noticed that today, we are waiting to hear back form someone as to the situation with the merchandise. i really hope you can get the exclusive stuff on-line as its a bit unfair on those who have already been and were unable to purchase it
melina
February 21st, 2011 - 7:53pmWOAH! I didn’t get the card holder – and i went to the very first one 🙁
booboo

Flea
February 21st, 2011 - 4:16pmWe attended on Thursday. Whoever packed the goodie bags didn’t do a particularly consistent job! Neither my wife nor I got the credit card holder in our bags and my wife’s was also missing the lanyard and the “I Was First” card! Beware the merchandise shop – it’s VERY expensive and so far nothing that can’t be found cheaper online (£70 for a boxed set of Season 5 DVDs, really? 😯 ) Would be nice to find out what the exclusive items are, they’re the things I would be willing to pay for
booboo
February 21st, 2011 - 4:34pmYes it was disappointing that there was nothing exclusive available. we went with cash in hand like many others but spent nothing in the end.

February 21st, 2011 - 3:24pmI went on the preview days as well, but I didn’t get the Doctor Who Experience Card holder?

booboo
February 21st, 2011 - 2:36pmYou will be given your items in a carrier bag when you shown your ticket at the counter. When you leave Kensington Olympia station turn left into Olympia way then right at the end and keep walking, there were bill boards out when we were there showing you the way, you cant miss it really
