Companion Set #9 8th Doctor / Time Controller Dalek

From the world of Big Finish Audio adventures, this fantastic trio brings together the Eighth Doctor (Paul McGann), Lucie Miller (Sheridan Smith) and the incredible Time Controller Dalek. Lucie Miller was first introduced in the Big Finish drama “Blood of the Daleks” and became a cannon after the anniversary Doctor-Who mini-episode “The Night of the Doctor”. The design of the Time-Controller Dalek was first conceived by Brian Williamson and visualised by Alex Mallinson on the cover in 2011.

The Eighth Doctor, Lucie Miller & Dalek Time Controller Figurine Set captures the characters as they appear in the Big Finish Audio Adventures. The Eighth Doctor is portrayed in the costume he wore in the 1996 TV movie holding his sonic screwdriver. Lucie Miller’s figurine and Time Controller Dalek are based on her appearance on the cover of Big Finish’s “To The Death” adventure.

      When those results are in, i,m hoping the fans plump for The master in the fancy outfit. A nazi master why,ll certainly original might be just a little unsubtle for this collection at this time. Which way would you sway Neil?

      I would give multiple limbs for a set with Eight, Liv and Helen. I’ll get the hacksaw, you get the figurines.

    I’m sure this is already the plan, but now Big Finish are involved and having figurines made, can we please get Eric Roberts master ?

      Most of us suspect that is more of a matter for Eric Roberts than any of the rights holders.

      I thought generally when an actor signs on for a role it includes a clause that permits their likeness to be used, his image has been used on the cover of Big Finish CDs

      No it’s the actors discretion. He might be happy for a photo on a CD or DVD but not for a figure. Plus the copyright of the TV movie is complicated by the joint production.

    Neil, any chance of a 9th doctor, Rose Tyler (series 1) Jackie Tyler and Mickey Smith set of 4 figures? I would love that! Do we have anymore figurines from the 9th Doctor era?

    The Eaglemoss range:
    Specials
    Big Finish
    TARDIS Consoles
    Companions
    Time Lords
    Bonus Daleks
    Bonus K-9
    Subscriber Daleks (Which the survival of depends on the continuation of the main range)
    MEGA Figures!…

    As you can see, there is a lot of ranges in the collection. Surely the collection is continuing outside of the main range?

      Eaglemoss has almost as many branches as big finish!! And I love it!!!!!! It would be lovely if through big finish they could do Torchwood characters (Gwen & Martha like their upcoming BF story together) or important BF characters like Bernice Summerfield or River Song, Kate & Osgood. I wonder if we’ll get other big finish creatures too, not just the daleks

      Previews World have this listed as Companion Set 9, so this may not be a separate “range” but still nice to see more options covered.

    I’m really excited about this set as I really enjoyed the 8th Doctor Adventures Big Finish audios, I thought Sheridon Smith was fantastic as Lucie ‘bleeding’ Miller.

    The dalek looks fantastic, is it the ‘Eternity Circle Time Controller dalek.

    Well done Eaglemoss, I’m really looking forward to all these releases in 2020

    If this line were successful, is it open to expanding to other doctor and other aliens that could peak interest in both BF listeners and non listeners
    4, leela & rocketman (has leela to attract non listeners)
    5, turlough and eldrad (attracts both)
    8, molly and Alex mcqueen master (master is TV villain)
    8, liv chenka, Helen and eleven/krampus/voc robot/ kandyman humanoid form (way to have kandyman figurine 😉 )
    10, donna and gully ( donna attracts both)

    Will this range of big finish continue as a dalek doctor and companion set or could other creatures be included in place of a dalek?

      I wholeheartedly agree, why do we get a standard, can’t-do-anything-with-it, fixed statue of lucie miller before an actual figure of her? 🙁

    • booboo

      December 31st, 2019 - 9:37am

      simple, cost, articulated tooling skyrockets compared to a fixed figurine. Eaglemoss have gone out on a limp just to get this done.

      If Character did a new head sculpt of Sheridan Smith, they might be able to work their repaint magic and produce a Lucie Miller figure. They did pull off that wonderful Harry Sullivan.

    I Wasn,t going to venture down this Big Finish Route, but i have all Eighth and lucie Cds, so i would be doing myself a disservice if i didn,t acquire this. I don,t know how other people feel about buying something they might not have heard of, but if youre the type that collects everything then hey, no problem. Will they doing the early Big Finish stuff, i have mainly up to the first 100. I don,t buy many of the new spin offs. They could do jago and Litefoot or even The paternoster Gang if they like.

    The colour scheme of the Time Controller is my only issue with this set honestly?

    Swapping the silver for gold, making the slats purple instead of matching the secondary silver – it looks real odd?

    Also, the spheres I thought where supposed to be black too to better contrast the base?

    The sculpt is perfect though, just the livery that seems weird to me.

    The Doctor and Lucie look great though!

    This is a beauty of a set! Really imaginative and lovely to see Lucie Miller as a figurine – those Big Finish Eighth Doctor audios were a fantastic way to give more ‘life’ to Paul’s Doctor. Stunning Dalek figurine too!
