Figurine Collection Magazine Issue 203 Primord

Available to order from www.forbiddenplanet.com

Newly Colourised Cover by Clayton Hickman.

The Doctor Who Figurine Collection part 203 features a Primord from the 1970 Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee) adventure ‘Inferno’.

Mutated and violent beast-creatures, the Primord were created when humans came into contact with a mysterious green ooze, released from the depths of the Earth. Project Inferno was intended to harness the boundless energies of the planet’s core – but as drilling intensified and the Primord grew in numbers, it was up to the Third Doctor to descend into the Inferno!

Primord hunted in packs, seeking to convert other humans using the mysterious ooze, and were all but immune to heat and physical harm. Their one vulnerability was extreme cold – a fact that the Doctor exploited to destroy the former Professor Stahlman with a fire extinguisher.

    Can’t help but notice that the picture and actual figurine look nothing alike at all. Would have been nice to have a fig of that Primord on the cover

      It’s funny that when the collection launched it was fortnightly. Now it appears to be on a once in a blue moon schedule? 😉

    I remember this photo of the Primord from an ancient edition from ‘World of Horror’ magazine long before I ever saw ‘Inferno’ – I thought it was lost as I’ve never seen it since!

    It always reminds me of Harry H Corbett’s Wolf-man from ‘Carry on Screaming’!

    Very much looking forward to this – another brilliant edition of the figurine collection.

      newly colourised by Clayton Hickman, He did 204 as well

      Yes I thought it was him! He’s made a great job of it too…looks really convincing.

      A lot of colourisation looks very unnatural but Clayton’s technique has come on incredibly in the past couple of years…you wouldn’t know this wasn’t a colour image which is, I suppose, the best thing you can say about these. Great cover!

      I love the ‘wet’ noses on the Primords!

      Bentons OTT transformation always makes me laugh.

      Yes Ergon! One of those moments that, shall we say, takes you out of the story. The ‘exuberant’ wigs and orange peel teeth were an odd decision. I preferred the more effective earlier Primord stages and the sound effects were fantastic!

    • the ergon

      June 28th, 2021 - 5:54pm

      I love the sound. Its very atmospheric, downbeat and conveys that sense of apocalyptic dread. The cliffhanger to episode six is one of my all time favourites even if it is fringing CSO. You really start to feel for those characters in the alternative world at that point when the lava starts pouring in.

      Yes it is an amazing cliffhanger! For once there is no last minute reprieve (apart from the Doctor of course!) and there is a real sense of jeopardy. The whole fascist Earth sub-plot is very well done and quite scary. The idea you cannot argue or reason with these people is quite chilling – and seems especially so these days!

      ‘Alternative’ Liz is fantastic in these episodes especially when she shoots the snivelling Brigade Leader! ‘Inferno’ is a great story and has aged very well – perhaps apart from the fully developed Primords. But I still can’t wait to have a figurine of one!

    Great pose and sculpt but hope the face is painted better than this when finally released.

      On the production models, if they remove the brown paint off the face it should be spot on. (Can only see a green face on the magazine cover). Also don’t forget the Very dark green on end of nose.

    Wonderful! What a fantastic choice – I absolutely love it! How brilliant to have figurines from all of Jon Pertwee’s debut season.

    Loving the Navarino figurine too. Great to have these more obscure monsters and hope we can get a few more especially from the Tom Baker years.

    This collection has served the 3rd Doctor’s era with such fantastic sculpted figurines and characters – a lot of my personal favourites: the Silurian, Azaxyr, the Auton Dummy, the Alien Ambassador and the Third Doctor himself from the Green Death (best figurine). The polarity of the neutron flow has well and truly been reversed.
