Figurine Collection Magazine Time Lords Set #1
Hero Collector Announces New Doctor Who Time Lords Sets!
“I’m a Time Lord. I walk in eternity.”
Hero Collector – designers, manufacturers, and publishers of high-quality collectibles from across the worlds of pop culture – is proud to announce a brand new series of Doctor Who figurine box sets.
Based on the Doctor’s encounters with other members of their Gallifreyan race, the Doctor Who Time Lords sets will give fans an opportunity to collect some of the most memorable masters of the space-time continuum.
Each of the five sets will contain two Time Lords, faithfully recreated as hand-painted polyresin figurines at 1:21 scale (approximately 3.5 inches tall), complete with an in-depth companion magazine – highlighting the history, costumes, and stories behind these characters from the longest-running science fiction show on television!
The first Doctor Who Time Lords box set reunites two old friends – The Curator (Tom Baker) and the second incarnation of Romana (Lalla Ward).
The Curator was a mysterious Time Lord played by Tom Baker, the iconic actor behind the Fourth Doctor. In his brief meeting with Matt Smith’s Doctor, he hinted that he might be another incarnation of the Doctor – who knows? Who knows. The figurine captures the older Time Lord’s pensive air, one arm leaning on a cane and the other stroking his chin.
Romana (or Romanadvoratrelundar) was a rare Time Lord companion on the Doctor’s adventures, and (even rarer) his academic superior. Initially haughty, she and the Doctor soon warmed to each other. The figurine depicts Romana in her second incarnation, played by Lalla Ward, clad in her voluminous scarf and coat (echoing the Doctor’s own iconic outfit).
The Curator & Romana Box Set is going to be solicited in the January Diamond PREVIEWS catalogue, and will be available direct from HeroCollector.com or your favourite retailer in March 2020.
The box set joins Hero Collector’s ongoing range of 1:21 scale Doctor Who figurines, which explore aliens, monsters, robots, humans and Doctors from over five decades of classic science fiction TV.
Fans and collectors should stay tuned for further details about Hero Collector’s upcoming Doctor Who Time Lords box sets and others including Daleks and companions.

December 3rd, 2019 - 6:25pmI was wondering if there was going to be a professor lazarus (of course in monster form) special coming up?

December 3rd, 2019 - 8:52pmThe Lazerus monster has been on my list of most wanted from the very beginning of the collection!! I have never seen another person request him though, good call.
He would make one of the most interesting figures, and I’m sure the magazine would be full of unknown details from the design process before they decided on his final look.
On that note, I would love an Empress of the Racnoss special.

December 3rd, 2019 - 2:43pmWill have to start to save now then. Totally changing the subject.Does anyone know when they are supposed to take the payment off us for the werewolf special?
chris Howarth
December 3rd, 2019 - 10:32amI’m assuming this collection will focus on better-known characters, rather than generic Time Lords? I would love to see figures showing the development of the Gallifreyan-look from The War Games on, taking in The Three Doctors, The Deadly Assassin, etc. Maybe even include a Chancery Guard? (Maxil from Arc of Infinity would fit the bill there.)

December 3rd, 2019 - 3:39amWe need a S17/Doctor Who Weekly Fourth Doctor figure to go with this Romana now.

December 2nd, 2019 - 10:46pmDoes River count as a time lord here?

December 2nd, 2019 - 11:34pmIndeed! “Shall we take the lift or fly?”

December 2nd, 2019 - 10:19pmROMANA!!! Finally, always wanted a figure/figurine/pop!/Lego Minifigure…. anything really that depicts her in all her magnificence
Bobby Davros
December 2nd, 2019 - 9:27pmWith all these sets being released it’s pretty obvious that the business model is switching to these away from the main line. As such I fully expect that the regular issues will end with 180.
Neil
December 2nd, 2019 - 9:29pmHa.

December 3rd, 2019 - 5:35pmNope I think there are far too may figurines to do (as a fair few people want as many things as possible covered) everything they can and to make sure everything gets covered and keep people happy they are having to do some figurines as separate sets.
Hi
December 2nd, 2019 - 8:41pmThank you Neil and eaglemoss for treating the fans great lately thank you so much

December 2nd, 2019 - 7:59pmI am so tempted to collect more than just the ‘normal’ range and daleks now.
Well done to Nic and the team for doing stuff Character hasn’t been able to.

December 2nd, 2019 - 8:00pmNeil… I meant Neil and the team. Whoops!
Hardman
December 2nd, 2019 - 7:08pmOf course Ace ended up in the time lord academy so I do hope we get a figure of Ace in time lord get up!
Neil
December 2nd, 2019 - 7:30pmYou know that feeling when you raise your own expectations so high that you’re always going to be disappointed? That.
Crosby
December 4th, 2019 - 7:55amI don’t think that ace would count but wouldn’t mind that figurine

December 2nd, 2019 - 6:16pmYesterday I said I was selective on which figures I buy from this collection.
Today i am caving and buying everything. I hate the completist within me sometimes.

December 2nd, 2019 - 5:54pmMmmmm . Mary Tamm and her Imperiatrix alter ego would also be nice 🙂
Epic set. Can’t wait 🙂
The Ergon
December 2nd, 2019 - 5:36pmYou cannot get these out fast enough. This next decade is starting great from a Who fans viewpoint. Are they all early 2020?
booboo
December 2nd, 2019 - 5:37pmthis is March
The Ergon
December 2nd, 2019 - 5:45pmWhat about Rassilon and co?
Neil
December 2nd, 2019 - 6:16pmThey’ll be every couple of months.
The Ergon
December 2nd, 2019 - 8:53pmThanks. I,m glad in a way, Gives my wallet breathing space i thought there was going to be an extra monthly debt.

December 2nd, 2019 - 5:14pmYou are actually going to bankrupt me.

December 2nd, 2019 - 5:05pmI LOVE YOU NEIL.

December 2nd, 2019 - 4:50pmHow about some Big Finish sets 😉

December 2nd, 2019 - 4:27pmWar chief and meddling monk
The general male and female
Neil Corry
December 2nd, 2019 - 4:41pmWe wanted the War Chief to be included in this series. There’s one colour picture and the character is very underrated, but we don’t know who’s looking after the late, great Edward Brayshaw’s estate, and we’ve really tried finding out. We had a number of lines of enquiry but they’ve come to nothing, sadly.
Basil Funkenstein
December 2nd, 2019 - 5:07pmIs there no one at the BBC that could help with this matter or maybe any agents of his? Would love to see a War Chief figurine in this collection.
Neil Corry
December 2nd, 2019 - 5:38pmThe BBC have been, in fact, doing most of the legwork.
Basil Funkenstein
December 2nd, 2019 - 5:45pmAhhhhhhhhhhhh fair enough, I wasn’t sure of that was the case. I agree it’s a bit of a shame that a War Chief figurine is unlikely but you and Ben spoil is so much I’d only think we’ll be that bothered.
Doug Who
December 2nd, 2019 - 8:33pmI think Neil’s comment here gives a little indication as to how difficult it must be to get everything in place to get approval for a figure to make it to the collection no matter how much we would like it to happen
The War Chief would have been a fantastic addition but sadly not to be. I’m looking forward to all that’s coming in 2020 and also have my fingers crossed that at some stage we can get some of the other, I think, underrated characters for example the Collector and Lady Adrasta to name but two.
The Time Lord series is an inspired way to add to this genuinely fantastic range.
Anonymous
December 2nd, 2019 - 9:37pmMy thoughts exactly Doug. I don’t think people appreciate the behind the scenes effort that goes into a product like this. The war chief would be a great figure as the character was physically striking but it was 50 years ago now and time plays a role in the realities of this kind of merchandise. Edward brayshaw died in 1990 and time and estate managers move on. Thanks to Neil for trying to get a figure made in the meantime let’s enjoy those that are getting done.

December 2nd, 2019 - 11:08pmI’m gutted to hear this, so desperately wanted The War Chief. Maybe a War Lord sometime instead? It is a sober reminder of the legalities involved, I wonder if this is what has held up a Celestial Toymaker figurine. May I suggest for future sets, Drax, Salyavin/Professor Chronotis, Azmael or Maxil.

December 3rd, 2019 - 9:19amHey Neil, slightly left-field but tempted to recommend you (or someone else) share a post on the Kaleidoscope FB Group: it’s intended for missing episode hunting, but I gather by extension a number of people involved are very impressive in both their research skills and their knowledge of mid-20th Century British actors. Worth a try?

December 2nd, 2019 - 4:20pmI’m looking forward to this “Time Lord” set, I was hoping Eaglemoss would do Romana wearing her outfit from Destiny of the Daleks,
Anonymous
December 2nd, 2019 - 4:29pmSame looking forward to this set but it seems the collection will never end with the spin offs been produced
Doug Who
December 2nd, 2019 - 4:19pmNow we’re talking!
What a lovely and imaginative pairing and I just adore that Romana figure and amazing to see the Curator too. My favourite Doctor and Companion so is really the best range of merchandise ever in my opinion.
I’m also hoping we’ll see some more classic monsters and villains from both old and new series even if the regular figurine series has to come to an end…although obviously I hope that won’t be anytime soon.

December 2nd, 2019 - 4:00pmIs Hero Collector the same as Eaglemoss – they look the same but why the different name?
booboo
December 2nd, 2019 - 4:05pmyes, Eaglemoss have Divisions they cover as a whole under that name, Hero collector is the “collectors” division, They have die-cast and crafts division as well
Daz
December 2nd, 2019 - 3:58pmRomana looks great I always loved that outfit, shame we didn’t get a action figure too.
Col
December 2nd, 2019 - 3:36pmSo many new amazing sets please can they just get the pre orders open and take my cash 😀
Basil Funkenstein
December 2nd, 2019 - 3:24pmI love this. In fact I love everything they have announced recently.
I am incredibly excited to see what else is on its way next year. I’m also intrigued about the Dalek set that has been teased that the blue Dalek is a part of.
Most importantly of all though I am most curious about whether or not there will be an extension to the main issues. We have been told by several people that Ben (Robinson) and Eaglemoss customer service have both confirmed an extension to 200 issues but there has been no official announcement.

December 2nd, 2019 - 3:17pmMy 8 choices for the other 8 sets would be:
Romana 1
Rassilon 2015
The general 2013
The rani
The inquisitor
Missy
Eric Robert’s master
The meddling monk

December 2nd, 2019 - 3:18pmOther 4 sets sorry

December 2nd, 2019 - 3:21pmOr the doctor Donna so we can get a Donna figure too
Neil Corry
December 2nd, 2019 - 4:06pmYou’ve done quite well there. Not perfect. But not bad.
Anonymous
December 2nd, 2019 - 4:10pmI think it’s you and everyone at eaglemoss who’ve been doing the perfection!!!! I’m so excited for these sets!!!

December 2nd, 2019 - 9:12pmFive Doctors Borusa needs to be in that list somewhere… In place of the General perhaps?
The Ergon
December 2nd, 2019 - 9:31pmWould the moustachioed Rassilon from The five Doctors be too difficult to achieve?
booboo
December 2nd, 2019 - 3:14pmI’m going to need a bigger shed
Anonymous
December 2nd, 2019 - 3:12pmWonder if that rassilon figure will be in a set of this line

December 2nd, 2019 - 3:11pmYES YES YES AND YES

December 2nd, 2019 - 2:55pmLove this very cool way of getting more characters & they look amazing
Dav McKenzie
December 2nd, 2019 - 2:54pmI genuinely think Eaglemoss are out to bankrupt me in 2020 – so many amazing new sets! These are stunning, can’t wait to add them to my collection!
