Figurine Collection Magazine Companion Set #12
This companion box-set in our fantastic Doctor Who Figurines Collection unites the Third Doctor with the members of the UNIT – Jo Grant, Brigadier and Benton.
In his third incarnation, the Doctor (played by Jon Pertwee) was exiled to 20th-century Earth by his fellow Time Lords. Dashing and distinguished, this Doctor was a master of Venusian aikido with a fondness for fast cars, and joined the Unified Intelligence Taskforce – or UNIT – as a scientific advisor, to better defend Earth from an alien invasion.
The Third Doctor was joined by his outspoken and enthusiastic lab assistant Jo Grant, as well as the aggressive Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart – or simply “The Brigadier”, and the reliable, unshakeable Sergeant Benton.
The Doctor and the Brigadier often clashed over the latter’s preference for military force over peaceful solutions, but eventually developed genuine and mutual respect.

October 30th, 2020 - 8:09amThis is showing as a preorder on the Eaglemoss site but when you try and put it in the basket it says unavailable.
booboo
October 30th, 2020 - 8:33amyes, i’m getting the same
Doug Who
October 30th, 2020 - 9:32amMe too! Keeps cycling back to basket…have emailed them.
Doug Who
October 30th, 2020 - 10:53amJust tried again and all now seems to be working fine! Looking forward to this set.
Stephen
October 31st, 2020 - 8:00amI managed ok to pre-order it ok but that happened to me with companion set 9 8th/Lucie/Dalek time controller now I’m waiting for it to comeback in and I missed it on big finish site too
Coleman
October 28th, 2020 - 10:34pmBit confused BooBoo,
Has everybody received their Timelords set #4. Always wait for “add to basket”, just gone on there site today and it’s gone from Pre-order to notify me later.
Must have missed it?
Coleman
October 29th, 2020 - 11:36amHave you got yours BooBoo?
booboo
October 29th, 2020 - 11:56amhaven’t ordered it yet
Crosby
October 29th, 2020 - 12:41pmNo not got mine yet
Coleman
October 29th, 2020 - 3:16pmVery strange Crosby.
Been watching regularly for it to come in stock and it’s gone from pre order to notify me, with no “add to basket”?
Bobby Davros
October 29th, 2020 - 5:29pmProbably sold out of the pre-order allocation, David.
Coleman
October 29th, 2020 - 6:18pmJenna!
JL
October 29th, 2020 - 6:21pmIs anybody else having any difficulty adding this companion set to their basket, or is it just me (probably)
Stephen
October 31st, 2020 - 8:02amApparently it comes out tomorrow 01 Nov
Coleman
October 31st, 2020 - 7:49pmThat’s a shame, since it’s not on “Add to Basket”, only “notify me”.
I won’t be able to buy it.
Anonymous
November 2nd, 2020 - 5:56pmJust got a DPD email for a dispatch: I wonder if it’s the Timelords # 4 Set?
Basil Funkenstein
October 27th, 2020 - 11:44pmI adore this set. They have 2 (potentially 3 if they decide to do a War Doctor companion set) Doctor and Companion sets left to do. The Fifth Doctor and Sixth Doctor.
I’m hoping the four figurine box sets are successful so we can have a season 19 5 with his hat on, Tegan in her flight attendant outfit, Nyssa, and Adric. Then possibly a season 23 6, Peri, Mel, and Glitz.
Gareth Pugh
October 28th, 2020 - 7:32pmI like your idea Basil of bundling Glitz in with a Sixth Doctor 4-pack – I definitely would love to see them release a figurine of him, either like that or as a main fortnightly issue. I do think there’s a good chance we’ll get more than one Companion set for certain Doctors – I can see, for instance, them doing an early Fourth Doctor (short rust-red jacket and diamond cardigan) with Harry, and maybe a white cravat/dark green waistcoat S15 version as seen in Invasion of Time, to pair with a Leela. Some time back, EM said they ‘had plans’ for Castrovalva (when they moved Ainley’s Master’s magazine to feature Time Flight instead of Castrovalva) so I wonder if a 4-pack of the Season 19 team might come out based around that story? The Davison variant could be pre-celery and/or with hat.
The Werewolf
October 28th, 2020 - 9:58pmGlitz as a figurine would be pretty much a dream and I dont expect it to happen. He was such a fun character though.
Doctor Stu
October 28th, 2020 - 10:25pmOnly 3 left? Surely there’ll be more there’s tons of companions we haven’t got yet
Basil Funkenstein
October 29th, 2020 - 3:39pmDoctor Stu, I meant of the original first run of Doctors and companions, I don’t think I worded it well but that was my meaning. I was going to add “before they do a second or third run of variant companion sets” but it was late, I was tired, and I completely forgot. I hope they end up managing to release every variant possible of Doctors and companions whether that’s in box sets, companion sets, or the main run.
JL
October 29th, 2020 - 9:06pmIn future waves, I’d quite like to see (if they have to be story specific):
1, Vicki and Steven from The Time Meddler
1, Dodo, Ben and Polly from The War Machines (though Ben and Polly spent more time with 2, we already have quite a lot of 2nd doctor figurines)
2 (in hat and life jacket) and Victoria from Fury from the Deep
2 (ripped jacket and knee) and Zoe from the War Games
3, Liz and Yates from the Five Doctors (though I’d love to see 3 and Liz from Spearhead and Yates from a 3rd doctor story as well)
4 and Harry from various Season 12 stories
4 and Leela is a tricky one as I’d rather have Leela in her original costume but Tom from Invasion of Time, in which Leela wears her second variant of costume :/
*I imagine our first 5th doctor set will be the season 19 crew and a 6th doctor set may have both peri and mel if they count trial of a time lord as one story*
9 and Rose from Father’s Day (I’d rather have a Rose figurine from when she was a main companion than series 4)
10 and Martha from the Lazarus Experiment
10, Donna and Wilf from Journey’s End (they could do a meta crisis doctor, who wore the blue suit variant, so we don’t get a repeat of the brown suit)
11 (green coat) and Rory from The Girl Who Waited
12 and Clara from Face the Raven
12 and Nardole from The Doctor Falls
Basil Funkenstein
October 30th, 2020 - 4:12amI think if they do decide to do a second wave of companion sets I’d like them to take the route of non-story specific box sets. That would open up a lot of ideas and freedom for them and help their approach to that part of the collection become more malleable. I still like your idea though if they ‘have’ to stick with story/episode specific box sets or decide that’s the best option. I am a stickler for variants and absolutely love them. I love the variety of sculpts, poses and outfit changes, however I understand that not everyone enjoys variants and finds them a bit ‘same-y’ and that’s cool too.
Basil Funkenstein
October 30th, 2020 - 4:58amI’d love to see: (asterisk by the ones I’m really hoping for. The rest I’d love to see but wouldn’t be crushed if they didn’t manage to do.)
1st Doctor in his normal clothes, cloak, Astrakhan hat, and striped scarf. Possibly wearing his glasses or monocle or holding a lit candle in its’ holder. *(Not all of these are going to be companion set ideas, some are just one issue variants.)
1st Doctor in his normal clothes but without coat/jacket. (As seen at the end of “Unearthly Child.”)
1st Doctor in ‘Goodbye Susan’ speech pose, Susan, Ian, and Barbara. *( From season 2 “Dalek Invasion of Earth.” Gives us a chance to see Ian and Barbara in their normal clothes from the show.)
Vicki and Steven. *(From season 2, any iconic outfit really.)
First Doctor as Abbot of Amboise. (From “The Massacre.”)
Vicki, Steven, and Katarina. *(From season 3.)
Sara Kingdom and Brett Vyon. *(From “Daleks’ Masterplan.”)
Dodo, Ben, and Polly. *(From season 3.)
2nd Doctor in his early season 4 clothes without hat, maybe with 200 year diary in his hands or holding a prop from an early season 4 story, Ben, and Polly. *(From season 4.)
Jamie and Victoria. *(From “Evil of the Daleks.”)
2nd Doctor in “Fury” beanie outfit with sonic screwdriver whistle, Victoria, and Zoe. *(From season 5.)
2nd Doctor as Salamander. *(From “Enemy of the World.”)
Jamie in kaftan vest and Zoe. *(From season 6.)
Dr Liz Shaw, the Brig, and Benton. *(From season 7.)
3rd Doctor, Jo, and Yates. *(From season 8.)
1st, 2nd, and 3rd Doctor, and Jo. *(From “The Three Doctors.”)
3rd Doctor in blue crushed velvet suit holding Metebelis 3 crystal and Sarah Jane. *(From “Planet of the Spiders.”)
4th Doctor grinning, in red corduroy jacket, argyle cardigan, without hat, and either holding sonic screwdriver and/or bag of jelly babies, Sarah Jane, and Harry. *(A mix of season 12 outfits. I’d love to see that version of 4 with Harry in his normal outfit and Sarah Jane in her denim “Genesis of the Daleks” outfit.)
“Hand of Fear” Sarah Jane with or without Eldrad’s hand, and Leela in dark brown/tan Sevateem outfit with crossbow. *(From season 14.)
4th Doctor in Time Lord robes. (From “Deadly Assassin.”)
4th Doctor and Leela. *(“Talons of Weng-Chiang” Victorian Sherlock Holmes outfits.)
4th Doctor with green vest and cravat look, and Leela in cream/beige outfit with knife. *(From season 15.)
4th Doctor. (From season 16.)
4th Doctor. (From season 17, maybe “City of Death” outfit.)
Romana 2, Adric, Nyssa, and Tegan. *(From season 18.)
*To be continued.

October 27th, 2020 - 10:42pmJo always had some amazing boots on the show, very cool.
Coleman
October 28th, 2020 - 11:13amYes she had very hip sixties fashion, even though it was the early seventies.
Michael Watson
October 28th, 2020 - 12:27pmI read that the boots were originally plain white, but Katy felt they looked like bandages so she drew the red lines on.
Dalekz
October 29th, 2020 - 1:28pmI didn’t know that, Katy obviously had a good eye for fashion they look cool with the red stripe.
Yes she was quite sixties at times even in the seventies, love Jo!
Bobby Davros
October 29th, 2020 - 6:21pmPeople didn’t instantly start wearing ankle length skirts and platform shoes as soon as the clock struck midnight on 1st January 1970, guys.
the ergon
October 30th, 2020 - 11:53amEven Pans People would attest to that.
Judooning
October 27th, 2020 - 7:15pmPre-ordered it along with Novice hame, Sea Devil warrior, and the latest Timelord Victorius set. Pays to wait a bit and pre-order a load in one go to get free postage. And Booboo’s code is a big saving in one go too.
The Werewolf
October 27th, 2020 - 5:59pmNow this is available for pre order I ordered this and Time Lord Victorious 3, and some Harry Potter figurines.
I’m glad a couple of the other pre orders have arrived now because there are quite a few pe doing but there is so much to look forward to.
Coleman
October 27th, 2020 - 6:25pmWith all that’s been going on today forgot to mention my Time Lord victorious set #1 arrived this morning with DPD in great condition, absolutely gorgeous box, really shows of the Daleks to there full.
Coleman
October 27th, 2020 - 6:43pmThat’s just got me thinking,
What’s the packaging going to look like for this set. I suppose it’ll be different to the magazine.
Does anyone know it photos have been put on the net yet?
The Werewolf
October 28th, 2020 - 9:31pmI guess it will be similar style to the others. It is a pretty special one though
Dav McKenzie
October 29th, 2020 - 1:56pmPretty similar to this I’d guess? https://merchandise.thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/figurine-collection-magazine-companion-set-8-1st-doctor/
Coleman
October 29th, 2020 - 6:57pmThe magazine layout is totally different, so the box might be aswell.
Bicky
October 27th, 2020 - 5:30pmIt would be great to have a set of shop window dummy Autons from Spearhead from Space.
Bobby Davros
October 27th, 2020 - 7:08pmThey could make a box that looks like the windowed front of a shop.
Stewart
October 27th, 2020 - 5:25pmJust pre-ordered this – loving it – fav doctor and companions what more could you ask 🙂
Coleman
October 27th, 2020 - 5:15pmNearly had a fit then BooBoo,
Want this set very much, but noway can afford it at the moment with all the other stuff I’m buying.
Thought you meant it had gone on “add to basket”
booboo
October 27th, 2020 - 5:18pmi will bring it forward again when its in stock, some people like to pre-order others prefer to wait
Alvin
October 27th, 2020 - 5:03pmThe Third Doctor, Jo, Brigadier, Sergeant Benton Companion set #12 is now pre-order at the Eaglemoss Collections shop 🙂
Andy P
October 27th, 2020 - 4:58pmThis is up for pre order now!
booboo
October 27th, 2020 - 5:04pmyou just beat me to it.
Stuart10
October 27th, 2020 - 1:44pmIt would be cool ir they did the family of blood in set like This, i would totally buy it in a heart beat!
Dalek Commander
October 22nd, 2020 - 8:38amStill on Eaglemoss subject but not connect with this one. Just received Ace and Doctor companion set. Again a great set. Good likeness and very detailed especially Ace’s jacket.
Coleman
October 22nd, 2020 - 12:16pmJust checked Eaglemoss, but not for sale yet, unfortunately.
Crosby
October 21st, 2020 - 5:25pmGary H it is Doctor Who related she was in the crimson horror episode do yes it is Doctor Who related and so was her real life daughter
Gary H.
October 21st, 2020 - 5:36pmCrosby, I meant it’s not Dr Who related because I was talking about the Avengers and liking Diana Rigg in that role.
(I know she was miss Gillyflower)
the ergon
October 21st, 2020 - 5:45pmCrosby i don,t think he was referring to my question but an unrelated topic including famous actresses from the 1960s and 1970s but you are right Rachel Stirling is the real life daughter of Diana Rigg who played Miss Gillyflower and Ada respectively.
Dave
October 19th, 2020 - 7:41pmJust finished watching The Daleks 1963. I was interested when Ian was left on his own, while the others escaped using the lift. The Dalek that was cutting through the door, had an attachment that EagleMoss haven’t yet made. Any chance EagleMoss?
John Bayn
October 19th, 2020 - 4:54pmAny chance of the Immorals and a Chagaska from “Can Your Hear me”?
Gary H.
October 19th, 2020 - 10:33pmJohn, do you mean the immortals?
The Immorals is something different altogether.
Gary H.
October 19th, 2020 - 12:43pmMy Eldrad and Dreg came this morning,
Just wondering if I bet the Subscribers again this time.
Usually only takes a day to arrive with DPD.
the ergon
October 19th, 2020 - 1:35pmYou and other unsubscribers seem to have beaten us to the punch Gary. The only reason i stay with it now is for those Rare subscriber daleks every 10 issues but thats the only reason. I,m glad I preorder the specials separately.
Gary H.
October 19th, 2020 - 3:12pmYou also save a bundle Ergon, I pay £9.99 I believe you still pay £6.99?
the ergon
October 19th, 2020 - 5:09pmI think its £17.98 a month that gets stopped. Still works out cheaper but the idea was subscribers got their Issues early. Since WHsmiths and the like stopped selling these issues its gone about face. Not to worry, Knowing they are now being posted thats consolation enough, shouldn,t have long to wait. Moan. Moan.
Crosby
October 21st, 2020 - 5:21pmWell I phoned them this morning and they said that Royal mail are running 2 weeks behind
Coleman
October 21st, 2020 - 5:28pmI can well believe it Crosby. My last few figurines have been sent by DPD. But before that the one that was sent by Royal mail took THREE weeks to arrive.
booboo
October 21st, 2020 - 5:32pmthey must be giving very low priority to bulk shipments then because everything I’m doing with them is just fine.
James17
October 17th, 2020 - 8:46pmI’m a massive Yates fan and I cant help but feel hes been shafted by this. Like, it’s kinda a middle figure to Franklin including 4 of the 5 main cast. I know some people will say ‘yeah but he didnt appear as much’ but let’s be honest he still deserved a place in this, in the stories with him and Benton he features a lot more, case in point Planet of the Spiders. I dunno, I just feel it’s a bit harsh not to include him.
P7E
October 17th, 2020 - 10:44pmI agree with you james17 I liked yates character and I am disappointed that he has been left out
Basil Funkenstein
October 18th, 2020 - 2:43amNeil has hinted that they possibly already have plans for a Captain Yates figurine. I’m sure with the immense popularity and love for this collection that we will see a Yates figure and a Dr Liz Shaw figure somewhere down the line. This is a fantastic companion set regardless and I am incredibly excited for its release.
the ergon
October 17th, 2020 - 8:01pmIn remembrance to the late Dame Diana Rigg, how would Eaglemoss feel about doing Mrs Gillyflower and Mr. Sweet?
Gary H.
October 19th, 2020 - 3:23pmNot Dr Who related but I used to love watching the Avengers then The New Avengers as a kid.
Good old Diana rigg. Not forgetting (Honor Blackmen and Joanna Lumley as well).
Never remember the name of the other one.
Gary H.
October 19th, 2020 - 3:29pmLinda Thorson, it just came to me, then just double checked on Google
the ergon
October 19th, 2020 - 5:23pmloved the Avengers repeats on Channel 4 in either the 80s or 90s. I didn,t watch on Original Transmission .I Wasn,t born. I did enjoy The New Avengers as a kid and Return of The saint. There wasn,t much i didn,t watch in the 70s It was all that eerie stuff and public information films that scared yet transfixed me but Doctor Who has followed me my whole life ever since i watched Jon Pertwees final season, which is one of my earliest recollections and my first regeneration into Tom that hooked me.
the ergon
October 19th, 2020 - 5:42pmTo correct and reiterate, it wasn,t me that was regenerating into Tom.
Dave
October 17th, 2020 - 7:18pmIs it possible just to buy the Brigadier?
The Werewolf
October 17th, 2020 - 8:17pmOn eBay perhaps, I’m sure some people will split the sets and put them individually on eBay
John
October 17th, 2020 - 6:04pmAny chance of the Lone Cyberman, the immortals and Chagaska figures for series 12?
Gary H.
October 16th, 2020 - 11:46amBoo Boo, just noticed the Dreg and Eldrad are add to basket, they’ve been pre order for awhile.
Ade
October 15th, 2020 - 10:48pmCouldn’t be happier great news
Sidney
October 15th, 2020 - 8:51pmI subscribed from issue 180 on the 2nd of September it’s now 15th of October and I haven’t received anything yet was wondering if anyone else who subscribed from 180 has received theres
Michael Watson
October 16th, 2020 - 10:58amI subscribed about the same time as you. No figures yet, but the first payment went from my account on 5th October. Presumably my figures will arrive soon.
Coleman
October 16th, 2020 - 11:14amJust curious Michael and Sidney,
What made you subscribe so late in the collection anyway.
Wouldnt you be better off ordering the last few figures straight from Eaglemoss off the link above?
If there’s some you don’t like just pick and choose what you order.
Coleman
October 16th, 2020 - 11:18amI’ve got 179, 180 and 181 ages ago, just keep ordering them as they go live on their site.
Hope this helps.
Anonymous
October 16th, 2020 - 12:16pmI think the problem is you missed the window on 180, so they’ll be holding it off for the 182 delivery which I don’t think anyone has had yet (even though it is definitely well overdue).
Michael Watson
October 16th, 2020 - 2:10pmColeman – I got my figures through W H Smith on a regular order, but Eaglemoss stopped supplying newsagents during lockdown and decided not to renew afterwards. In early September or thereabouts they offered a new direct subscription (without subscribers special Daleks) from issue 180, but as stated nobody appears to have received anything since then.
Sidney
October 16th, 2020 - 2:47pmIf you subscribed from 180 you only pay 6.99 per figure from the main collection but if you order from EM website there 9.99 per figure from the main collection
Gary H.
October 16th, 2020 - 3:39pmGood of a reason as any I suppose Sydney
Stewart
October 15th, 2020 - 5:15pmOh my Giddy Aunt – super happy with these – even more than super happy 🙂
Michael Watson
October 15th, 2020 - 4:48pmI think in this case they have got the faces of the doctor, the brigadier and Sgt benson just right, but not so much Jo.
the ergon
October 15th, 2020 - 1:34pmThats not always the case. Just the odd occasion. Same with the monsters.
Dalek Commander
October 15th, 2020 - 11:41amLots of comments about the faces and features on the Eaglemoss figures. I don’t think they are bad when you consider the price point. One thing I have noticed is they look better in hand than in images which are often zoomed due to size. No complaints here.
Gary H.
October 15th, 2020 - 2:47pmNot just the price point Commander,
But a very small scale, considering both of these points they do an admiral job.
Gary H.
October 16th, 2020 - 10:55amI think when some people complain that the likenes’s are no good or paint apps are sloppily applied, I do think you do have to take into account the small scale of these and especially the £10 price point per figure and magazine.
You’re never going to get the Mona Lisa.
(Although with some comments I believe that’s what some people expect)
The Werewolf
October 17th, 2020 - 8:20pmNot to mention you’ll never notice the faces when you look at them all on the shelves anyway. I don’t, and some of them are just aive my bed.
Joseph
October 15th, 2020 - 6:21amReally unfortunate we couldn’t get Mike Yates as well. It would have been the most logical place to put him and now I’m afraid we won’t get him at all.
Crosby
October 15th, 2020 - 9:11pmI think we will it’ll be Yates, Liz & 3rd Doctor
