This Special Edition of Doctor Who Figurine Collection looks at the magnificent TARDIS console that made its first appearance in the 20th-anniversary adventure!
For the first two decades in the Doctor Who’s series, the TARDIS control room and the style were “redecorated” several times, but the main console remained relatively the same (with minor alterations). The 20th anniversary was a perfect time to introduce a new console that reflects the interior of the revamped control room from the previous multi-Doctor celebration “The Three Doctors”. “The Five Doctors” (1983) episode stepped further and brought a completely new control room and console, including the changed shape of the console for the first time since the Doctor Who began.
The Tardis Console Model: The Five Doctors, made from a high-quality polyresin, meticulously recreates every button, switch, and panel. It was carefully hand-painted to bring to life the consol that served three Doctors until it was retired in 1993 adventure Dimensions in Time.
The Tardis Console Model comes complete with a magazine detailing this console’s place in history, its functionality and use in the adventures. We look at the making of the ever-changing TARDIS console that appeared in the series from 1983 to 1993.

Hope we get more of these.
Alvin
January 14th, 2020 - 2:12pmThe 5th Doctor console arrived today 🙂
I’m really pleased to finally have the Five Doctors tardis console in my collection.
The detail is really nice and it looks great next to the season 15 console.
Thank you Eaglemoss for releasing this model, you’ve made this fan really happy
Negative Matter
January 14th, 2020 - 12:52pmHad my console today rather please a bit put off that three sides have lost the hexagonal patterning to some degree fortunatelt the other three sides look fine when you study it head on… am wondering if the previous console is ever going to be in stock again. Not sure if the website ‘Notify me’ system is working though
Jordan9364
January 14th, 2020 - 2:45pmYeah do we know if that’ll be back in stock? Missed out on that one and I’ll only collect the rest if I can get my hands on that

January 14th, 2020 - 11:49pmCareful Jordan if they dont restock you’ll miss all of them !

January 13th, 2020 - 5:50pmJust had a message from eaglemoss saying my order will be delivered tomorrow. Must be the console as that’s all i’ve got on order with them. I’m actually getting a little excited now. ( quite sad really as i’m 53 ) .
The Ergon
January 13th, 2020 - 7:26pmThought it was the Werewolf. Thats been on preorder for 2 months now.
Sean
January 13th, 2020 - 8:23pmMe to Ian I’m 53 also (54 Oct) I’m I’m getting excited aswell lol
Col
January 13th, 2020 - 8:33pmAge doesn’t matter guys I’m 35 and thrilled 🙂
booboo
January 13th, 2020 - 8:49pmage makes no difference, a 10 year old when first seeing this will be 47 now and they probably love it just as much, just buy it if you want it regardless of how old you are.
dazzleshell
January 13th, 2020 - 9:24pmWell I’m 40 and I can’t wait.
Got email today and delivery is through DPD.
I thought it was gonna be the werewolf too but my subscription stuff comes via Royal Mail.
With this and Season 26 coming in 2 weeks (or less hopefully via Zoom) it is a lovely time to be a Whovian.
Daz
January 13th, 2020 - 9:42pmI first saw this console when I was a kid and when my console comes in the post tomorrow it will be the same kid now disguised as a 42 year old opening the box and looking in wonder at his favourite console at last!
MickeySmith07
January 13th, 2020 - 9:56pm22 year old here very excited. 5th/6th Doctors were my introduction to the classic series so it’s great to have this for the collection
Andrew Townsend
January 14th, 2020 - 4:25amI’m 53 this time.theres no sad in it. There is nothing wrong with Who. People collect all sorts eh…cars. but ours is not that expensive …it’s getting that way though. Need a mortgage this year for all the stuff
Negative Matter
January 14th, 2020 - 2:20pmOnly 53 ? You youngster 😀 I say my collecting keeps me going .

January 8th, 2020 - 5:54pmWill there be plans for the masters tardis console or the Rani’s console.
Negative Matter
January 14th, 2020 - 1:19pmThe Time Monster variation ? I really like that version of the Master’s console. Rani’s console would be rather good too – a very impressive piece of work.
Fred
January 3rd, 2020 - 9:32pmHow about a Sea Devil from Warriors of the Deep
Anonymous
January 3rd, 2020 - 10:03pmAnything from the 5th doctors ers would be nice, ergon, garm, black guardian, companion set of nyssa, tegan and adric, tractator, sea devil, etc.
The Master
January 1st, 2020 - 11:04pmLooking good I have ordered one !
The Outcast
December 25th, 2019 - 2:41pmI think I’ve noticed a mistake on the cover. If you look at the console panel to the left of the screen, it looks like there’s a circular bit phasing through the panel. I think it’s an error.
Daz
December 28th, 2019 - 12:23pmYep and a few hovering red lines in the same area with four misaligned buttons coming onto the edge of the panel. Well spotted.
Anonymous
December 25th, 2019 - 10:32amI’m guessing (hoping) that people who subscribe to the specials will get the two new consoles automatically- as with the last one.
We didn’t get the bonus Daleks automatically- but we did get the bonus K9. Confused?
booboo
December 25th, 2019 - 11:44amI didn’t get the last one and I subscribe to the specials I thought they were a separate line?
dazzleshell
December 25th, 2019 - 5:52pmSubscribers don’t get the consoles as it is indeed a seperate line and is exclusive to website orders and also available from Forbidden Planet.
When the last one came out I did get an email with a discount code though because I was a subscriber to the normal range.
Anonymous
December 26th, 2019 - 11:31amThanks, guys, but I genuinely did get the console without ordering it. K9 too. I’ll check with customer service as I definitely want these consoles!
booboo
December 26th, 2019 - 1:09pmI got K9 but def not the console I had to buy it
Crosby
January 3rd, 2020 - 11:46pmWe didn’t get the first console automatically we had to buy separately same with the 2 bonus Daleks
David mckirdy
December 22nd, 2019 - 1:54pmGlad to see this console brought on the market fed up of NS console models by character .will be adding this to my collection.
kaospheric
December 21st, 2019 - 3:07amSo beautiful and so grateful we’ve finally got this.
But (I hate to say it) the central column lets down the rest of the sculpt, which is perfect – that solid white bone structure, and the “glass” column part with the plastic gob at the top.
Daz
December 21st, 2019 - 12:16pmThat structure inside the column is really hard to reproduce given that the original all looks like Perspex and was really intricate so I can understand why they did this.
I made a 3D printed version of this console for the 5″ scale and left that part to last, I made a simplified version from Perspex rods and plastic a bit like Dapol did with their 5 sided console and it works really well.
Also the dimple on the top of the transparent case is a bit of a shame as I found something for mine which was didn’t have one but again it’s fine I can look past that.
kaospheric
December 21st, 2019 - 8:13pmI totally get that, and I feel like a total jerk moaning about it, because it’s an otherwise beautiful sculpt.
Daz
December 21st, 2019 - 11:38pmIt is rather beautiful I agree, I wish the inside structure could have been clear plastic or something like that to make it even better maybe it’s because we have never had a proper version of this console (not even a Character Options version) we just want it to be perfect I guess.
I moan a fair bit myself about some things when I first see them lol, some things I don’t like I end up loving once I see it in person.
Bobby Davros
December 23rd, 2019 - 1:31pmI’ll be painting that column partially silver to mimic transparency (if the lid comes off again)
Daz
December 20th, 2019 - 3:32pmEaglemoss site says delivery for December 2019 but FB says February, do Eaglemoss usually have things ship ages before places like FP get them in?
Dates are so weird with these things I know as the Big Chief Jodie has been marked as coming in April-June now!
booboo
December 20th, 2019 - 3:36pmthey can do yes, they had most of the companion sets a month or more before FP
Anonymous
December 20th, 2019 - 4:33pmI’d be surprised if it turned up in December? They have already put back the Werewolf Special to Feb 2020, I expect this to be the same.
Daz
December 20th, 2019 - 8:31pmI didn’t know that booboo thanks, it would be nice if they turned up sooner than expected.
Anonymous
January 3rd, 2020 - 6:04pmJanuary now. Site still says December. Anyone had any updates? I really want to avoid the pain of calling them.
Sons of Skaro
December 20th, 2019 - 1:04pmI’ve wanted to own this console since Dapol’s infamous five sided variant appeared on shelves.
Daz
December 20th, 2019 - 3:28pmI wanted that but I never got it as a kid, I bought one on eBay for £40 this year it’s still a cool thing even if it’s missing a whole panel lol
I want this little one it’s really nice.
Doug Who
December 20th, 2019 - 12:53pmWhat a beautiful cover on the magazine. I love this collection!
Neil Corry
December 20th, 2019 - 9:09pmThe cover is courtesy of Gavin Rymill, who’s also provided the art and words inside the magazine too. It’s from his computer models that we make the consoles. He’s a genius.
Doug Who
December 21st, 2019 - 2:08pmHi Neil,
I should have recognised his touch in the Gallifrey scene.
Yes Gavin’s work on the collection has been fantastic.
The ‘Terry Nation Army’ series of videos he produces are absolutely fascinating too and I really recommend anyone to subscribe to them if they are interested in Dalek history at all.
Grant
December 20th, 2019 - 11:36amPre ordered this and 1st Drs so excited!
The Ergon
December 20th, 2019 - 2:46pmFirst Doctors?
booboo
December 20th, 2019 - 2:48pmprobably from FP who have it up for order
The Ergon
December 20th, 2019 - 2:53pmI didn,t look on there, so why not on Eaglemoss?, Are FP trying to get as many orders in first. I would have thought it better to wait for the discount. FP don,t always get them any earlier. Thats from personal past experience.
booboo
December 20th, 2019 - 2:57pmsolicitations go out to shops well before Eaglemoss ever put them on, its always been that way. FP tend to attract the more pick and choose buyer.
The Ergon
December 20th, 2019 - 3:08pmI still would much rather wait and pay less and unless you are subscribed to something i don,t see much difference unless you can say ‘at least i,ve got mine booked in’.
booboo
December 20th, 2019 - 3:37pmsome people prefer to stick to one company

December 19th, 2019 - 3:23pmWhen are we going to get those companions to go round it?

December 19th, 2019 - 5:50pmHope Kamelion is included.

Anonymous
December 6th, 2019 - 10:11pmHoping for a series 8 console- be nice to see both the green and orange light versions
SamWho
December 19th, 2019 - 1:55pmWe have a season 15 so a season 14 is unlikely because it’s quite similar and there’s a few others that will have priority
Nick Betts
December 19th, 2019 - 2:08pmOh yes, the wooden one, that would be amazing!
SamWho
December 19th, 2019 - 7:03pmOh of course the wooden one how could I forget yes that would be great quite small too
Grant
November 29th, 2019 - 3:58pmDon’t normally collect these but on this occasion it’s a must along with the 1st Dr figure set as closest we will come to having figures of classic companions unless b&m do them in the future! Just wish they supplied a Tardis backdrop of the walls!

November 29th, 2019 - 1:36pmHow nice to see everyone so positive for a change. Stay classy guys!
Judooning
November 28th, 2019 - 10:58pmI really do like the look of that. If I get one, I’ll want them all.
Daz
November 28th, 2019 - 5:35pmNow that there is a thing I WANT!
booboo
November 28th, 2019 - 5:56pmdon’t we all
Anonymous
November 28th, 2019 - 2:04pmYes so glad, I was worried we wouldn’t see anymore of these.
Crosby
November 28th, 2019 - 1:44pmCan’t wait to get these 2 consoles
Moodbeam
November 28th, 2019 - 1:15pm😮 very excited! Lots coming out of Eaglemoss at the moment… I wonder if they’re trying to get as much in as possible before their license expires? Can’t imagine they wouldn’t want to renew it as there’s clearly a lot of interest in their lines and I can’t see why the BBC wouldn’t want it renewed. But that’s all a different story. Looking forward to these but there’s one console I would LOVE to have… Eleven’s first Tardis console. Please Neil, make it happen!!!
