February 24th, 2021 - 11:50amThis set now has a listing on Eaglemoss shop so hopefully won’t be long now for pre-order!! 🙂

February 24th, 2021 - 2:02pmBeen wanting this set for so long to be released but i do worry about the paintwork on these three and four packs. I just hope and pray the one i recieve is of good quality, been burnt so many times in the past with the multiples.

February 12th, 2021 - 10:09pmIf ordering from Forbidden Planet, do they deliver by DPD or by royal Mail?
Danny
February 13th, 2021 - 11:55amThe orders I have placed recently came via DPD. They do use Royal Mail too but I think it depends on the value on your order. If you wait until this is made available on Eaglessmoss site they always use DPD which is free on orders over £50.00 and they have great service and I have used them to back fill some of the figurines from the main range…

February 2nd, 2021 - 12:04pmSo what happens when we get all doctor’s companion, do we just start to repeat or does it stop?
Michael Watson
February 4th, 2021 - 8:48pmThere are enough possibilities yet to keep us going for at least three or four more years without repeating, so anita early to worry what will happen then. But I would like at least some repeats if companions in various outfits.

February 1st, 2021 - 2:51pmAfter receiving the 3rd Dr companions set today, im even more excited for this 5th Dr set. The paint apps on the 3rd Dr set are some of the best yet i think. They look wonderful!
Definitely pre-ordering this one
Tom Parsons
January 31st, 2021 - 3:43pmAre they going on the eaglemoss site as well?
Thanks and hope you are all doing well

January 28th, 2021 - 10:24pmfamily of blood set next.
Gareth Pugh
January 29th, 2021 - 11:19amStuart10 – is that definite news you know for a fact is happening? Or a shout-out for what you would like them to do? Either makes a good post, but without an ‘I’d like’ or ‘…, please Eaglemoss’ it might cause some confusion where people will half-hear it on the grapevine and think it ‘has been announced’ as happening. [100% not having a pop at you by the way]
Doctor…Who?
January 29th, 2021 - 2:16pmA family of blood set would be cool!
Neil Corry
January 29th, 2021 - 5:51pmEaglemoss wouldn’t preview a set with just five words and no more details or pictures.
Family of Blood is a cool idea but won’t happen for some time. Sorry. Lots of others to do first.
Coleman
January 29th, 2021 - 8:15pm“won’t happen for some time”, so that’s a yes and MANY other sets to do first. Happy days.
Neil Corry
January 30th, 2021 - 4:17pmDon’t get your hopes up, Mr Coleman.
Dav McKenzie
February 4th, 2021 - 2:59pmI’d love a journeys end set picking up the companions we’ve not had with anyone else.
Basil Funkenstein
January 28th, 2021 - 8:09pmI must admit I’m a little disappointed with this one. Obviously I’ll still get it because of Adric, Nyssa, and Tegan but I will forever be frustrated that they decided to make the Fifth Doctor the only Doctor not to wear his own outfit in the companion sets, especially seeing as Neil has said Five is one of his favourite Doctors.
He mentioned on here and Facebook that it was a decision about how similar Davison’s outfit was during his tenure but both First Doctor figurines and Ninth Doctor figurines are basically the exact same outfit just with a different pose and a hat or sonic screwdriver added. The Sixth Doctor and Eleventh Doctor figurines are also similar as well either pose/sculpt wise or outfit wise. I’m hoping we will eventually have a season 19 Fifth Doctor with his hat on and a season 21 Fifth Doctor with his different jumper and possibly holding his hat to his chest (as seen in the promo pics for “Resurrection of the Daleks.”) There’s also the option of having a Five in cricket gear, Black Orchid Five, and a Five in his vest and braces as seen in “Planet of Fire.”
I’m just a little disappointed that they chose this option of Five in Four’s outfit instead of another actual Fifth Doctor figurine.
Neil Corry
January 29th, 2021 - 12:12amIt’s clear that you’ve spent time thinking about this, so I wanted to reply.
I’d like you to have another think about why we did this set the way we did. But you’ve got to do this for hours.
Then, with a couple of mates, who’ve also been thinking about the same thing, you meet to discuss and debate every pro and every con you can think of until, after a few hours, you’ve worked out what you want to do and why.
And that’s just the start. We’re an age away from starting to make them.
I’m sorry you’re disappointed in the Fifth Doctor figurine, but it is still the Fifth Doctor, no matter whose outfit he’s in.
the ergon
January 29th, 2021 - 9:49amIt was more about getting those companions in a set. The doctor figurines the bonus, no matter what outfit he has on.
Gareth Pugh
January 29th, 2021 - 11:22amI do like the sculpt on this ‘post-regent’ Fifth Doctor though. One I would be very interested in seeing is McCoy in Colin Baker’s outfit – not as-yet done in the action figure line from CO and in a funny way, it looked quite cool on him. (His own costume was better, question mark jumper aside, though)
Coleman
January 29th, 2021 - 5:54pmSpeaking of Eaglemoss 5th Doctor variants, I’d definitely like to see him in his Harlequin outfit before the collection ends.
Jordan9364
January 27th, 2021 - 6:39pmJust had a thought, what about a “Name of the Doctor” companion set?
With 11th Doctor (series 7b outfit), Clara in the checkered dress (probably her best costume), Strax in his tuxedo, jenny and vastra.
The only issue would be Vastra as she’s already been released in another costume, and makes it a 5 figurine set. So maybe just leave her out, but that would seem weird…
Other than that it seems like a no-brainer in getting much wanted characters and variants out there!

January 27th, 2021 - 6:28amHas anyone had there 3rd Doctor companion set yet?
Anonymous
January 27th, 2021 - 7:58amNo, still waiting…
Slitheen21
January 26th, 2021 - 7:48amThis is fantastic!!! Love all the companion figures so far. Best of the collection. Can’t wait!! I’m guessing it’ll be the sixth Doctor next with Peri and Mel – Trial of a Time Lord. Not sure they could do with the War Doctor, maybe Clara and Kate Stewart?
JL
January 26th, 2021 - 9:20amWonder if we’ll get a second round for each doctor?
1, vicki and Steven
2 and Victoria (2 as salamander)
3 and Liz
4 and Leela
5, turlough and kamelion (a planet of fire set like Neil has suggested on this page)
Unless we get more bug finish sets, I doubt we’ll get more 6th, 7th, 8th or War sets, if mel and peri do get released together in a season 23 companion set
9, Rose, Mickey and Jackie (either Rose or Parting of the Ways)
10, Donna, Martha and Wilf (Poison Sky – could do doctor’s daughter variants but call it a poison Sky set so we can include wilf, as they do appear in those costumes at the end of the episode)
11 and Rory (Let’s Kill Hitler or Girl Who Waited for a green coat 11th doctor)
12, Clara and Nardole (Twice Upon a Time)
13 and Dan (whichever episode from series 13 suits best)
Potential 3rd wave:
1st doctor, Dodo, Ben and Polly (War Machines)
2nd doctor and Zoe
3rd doctor and Yates
4th doctor and Harry
Obviously they may be more spread out than I suggested I.e. multiple 10th doctor sets, could have a tux 10 with Lazarus experiment Martha, then 10, Donna and Wilf from The Stolen Earth etc.
P7E
January 25th, 2021 - 12:32pmI’d love a vicki Steven & dodo set
And ben & polly
Anonymous
January 24th, 2021 - 10:38pmThis is a great set! Neil, any chance we will get a Jackie Tyler figurine?
J rowe
January 24th, 2021 - 12:42pmNice set, does anyone know when set 12 is out.
The Werewolf
January 23rd, 2021 - 2:12amI like this set, but I am disappointed they went with Davison in Baker’s outfit. I do not like having Doctors in their predecessor’s outfits and hoped if Eaglemoss did some it would be in a Regenerations set I could skip. I suppose I could try to hide this thing behind the others…
Neil Corry
January 23rd, 2021 - 5:58amThe long-standing “from the same story” rule (which we know has been broken) made this the companion set to do. I would have had Tegan in s21, Nyssa is20, Adric from S19 and Peter from Planet of Fire
The Doctor is the most difficult case because his costumes show little variation. And neither Tegan and Nyssa look exactly like this from episode 2 of Castrovalva 🙂
But it’s a big moment for the series, and the costumes are iconic.
We do think about all this very long and hard.
daz
January 23rd, 2021 - 8:42amNeil. Will there still be another variant of 5, 7 and 8 in the main collection? Like Doctors 1 to 4 and 6? Or is this now only possible in the companion sets?
Will we get any news on Rare Dalek 17 before release too?
Thanks.
the ergon
January 23rd, 2021 - 12:35pmYou can mix up the Doctors and companions how you see fit. They don,t have to conform to one type of story. For example you could just so easily do Sarah Jane, Leela, Peri and Mel in one set as long as you have which story they are taken from on the back of the box pretty much like how character do these things.
Bobby Davros
January 23rd, 2021 - 2:10pmYou could have got around this problem by making it a Visitation set. That way we could have had Davison at last in his hat and Nyssa in her preferable slacks outfit consistent with the cover of this set.
Anonymous
January 23rd, 2021 - 4:32pmMaybe it’s not the final cover? I think the set looks great
the ergon
January 23rd, 2021 - 8:02pmWell they can cover Fifth in seasons 19, 20 and 21 easily enough to allow for more companion sets from his Era. Theres the hat, the cricket gear, the harlequin outfit, the braces and specs, as omega ,in base outfit from Warriors, in dodgy holiday shirt from Planet of fire and muddied from caves. Take your pick.
the ergon
January 24th, 2021 - 9:43amOh and I almost forget the’ death under the red cloth’ twin set with peri.
J rowe
January 24th, 2021 - 12:31pmWhat’s happen to set 12
the ergon
January 27th, 2021 - 9:43amA black orchid set would be appealing with the characters in their masked ball outfits alongside 5th as Harlequin or the masked Harlequin figurine as a double with George Cranleigh. So many possibilities.
Neil Corry
January 28th, 2021 - 2:56pmDaz: only just seen your question.
When we got the go-ahead for the first companion set in 2017, there was no certainty how successful they would be, so variant Doctor figurines continued to be planned with the regular issues.
I’m now working on Sets 16 and 17. As they were successful, it just made more sense to keep Doctor variants with them.
News on RD17 may well be imminent but it’s not my decision as to what’s announced and when. Hope that’s all okay.
I’m hoping Companion Set 12 will turn up soon, and I thank everyone for their continued patience in these strange times.

January 22nd, 2021 - 10:16pmCan’t wait for this set
DavidJWho
January 22nd, 2021 - 9:50pmLooking good! Presumably be the 6th Doctor, maybe with Mel. Could have a 5th Doctor, Peri & Turlough set too.
Crosby
January 22nd, 2021 - 10:10pmNah 6 with Peri
daz
January 23rd, 2021 - 8:38amThe 6th Doctor will probably come with both Peri and Mel. And be based on The Trial of A Time Lord if that is the case.
Doctor Mysterio
January 22nd, 2021 - 6:39pmI’ll be ordering this as soon as it’s up! Looks fab!
Fledershrew
January 22nd, 2021 - 5:37pmLooks like the best companion set yet, in my opinion. Really like the fifth Doctor variant and the Nyssa figurine in particular – the costume is rendered so well. Good job Eaglemoss!
Mark
January 22nd, 2021 - 5:21pmYes i think go have to by 2 set of there.
Stephen
January 22nd, 2021 - 4:16pmLooks like 5 & Nyssa are awkwardly balancing on a tightrope for some reason..
the ergon
January 22nd, 2021 - 4:53pmThey have to keep coming up with more interesting and varied poses. At least Adric and Tegan have only one hand on the hip. What else do you think they could do? 5th clutching his lapels about to do his Hartnell impersonation or pulling away at his scarf?
Coleman
January 22nd, 2021 - 5:23pmI agree with Ergon, its about doing varied poses. So not every figure as an identical pose.
(Stops it from getting stale).
Well done Eaglemoss very nice set again.
Coleman
January 22nd, 2021 - 5:49pmWatched the Web planet last night for the 1st time in I don’t know when.
That’s one strange story.
Loved watching it though, very enjoyable.
the ergon
January 22nd, 2021 - 7:35pmDid you cringe at The optera Coleman?
Coleman
January 22nd, 2021 - 8:24pmTo be honest I cringed at quite alot of it, and even had laugh out loud moments at some of the Zarbi and Menoptera,s antics.
But still very enjoyable.
Anonymous
January 22nd, 2021 - 9:02pmHave to say I always struggle with web planet. It’s one I find dull. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not terrible just not great.
the ergon
January 23rd, 2021 - 9:40amIts studio bound so theres not much room for scenery and actors to move around. Optera aside i enjoy and appreciate this more now. I treat these early episodes like i,m watching a stage play of the time. The way the menoptera move and speak and the sometimes tinted/blurry shots make it look dreamlike and gives it a look like one of those old japanese style movies or plays from the 1940s and 1950s.
There are some great laugh out loud moments. Zarbi running into each other and the camera, the over enthusiastic battle scenes, The zarbi being controlled with the doctors hand gestures, the doctor referring to the control to bring the ‘hairdryer’ down and the embarrassing jumping grubs to name but a few. Its static in places but there is plenty to enjoy.Even if for all the wrong reasons.
Grant P
January 22nd, 2021 - 4:10pmNow just need these as 5” figures B&M
JL
January 22nd, 2021 - 4:23pmThis and some 1st and 2nd doctor companions!! Would also like a Character online exclusive of Jamie to allow for new sculpting!
Sam
January 22nd, 2021 - 11:16pmI wonder if they’ve ever thought about a crowd funding option. I know Hasbro do it to be able to produce things like Jabbss Sail Barge in 3.75” scale and it could be a good option. Put up say Jamie, the 2013/now Cyberman design and some other popular characters and if a certain number of people order in advance then it gets made.
Gareth Pugh
January 27th, 2021 - 10:06pmSam – I forget the details now but some have posted (here and on other forums) saying that most licences the BBC issue for Doctor Who merch rule out crowdfunding – IIRC it’s something to do with their publicly funded model (licence fee), whereas being a private company Hasbro (and Disney) are not so restricted with Star Wars stuff. Don’t know how true that is but what I’ve read somewhere.
Coleman
February 4th, 2021 - 8:31pmCan’t see it having much credibility. Big chief Studios always crowdfund. I opted to buy the 13th Doctor a couple of years ago when they crowdfunded for her.
JL
January 22nd, 2021 - 1:23pmYET AGAIN SMASH MY EXPECTATIONS, ALL 4 ARE AMAZING, DID NOT EXPECT A 5TH DOCTOR IN 4’S CLOTHES!!!!
would love to see a mini range of doctors in previous incarnation clothing or continue with companion sets in this style, I.e.
3 in 2s clothes with liz shaw
4 in 3s clothes with harry
6 in 5s clothes with peri
7 in 6s clothes with mel
10 in 9s clothes with (series 1) rose
11 in 10s clothes with amy in police outfit and rory in nurse uniform
12 in 11s clothes with Clara
13 in 12s clothes (perhaps in the main collection)
Jordan9364
January 22nd, 2021 - 3:16pmI really like the idea of this, just not keen on variants of companions. Don’t forget 8 in dressing gown and young War Doctor in 8’s clothes!
JL
January 22nd, 2021 - 4:02pmSince they announced the revolution of the daleks set that features Jack (a companion who already has a figurine) i didn’t know whether that meant other companions would get the same treatment, I’d kinda prefer a Rose figurine from when she travelled with the doctor instead of her series 4 appearance,
It would perhaps be easier if it was it’s own short lived regeneration range like the time lord range:
6th doctor and 11th in set 1
7th doctor and 10th doctor in set 2
13th doctor and war doctor in set 3
3rd doctor and 12th doctor in set 4
4th doctor and 8th doctor in set 5
(All random pairs, any pair can go together
Reece
January 22nd, 2021 - 6:54pmJL i’ve always wanted an ‘Empty Child’ Rose with the Union Jack tshirt.
JL
January 22nd, 2021 - 7:00pmSame, my only concern is that we’ve already had a 9th doctor figurine from that story in a companion set with Jack, so would they do it again so we can have an Empty Child Rose? If not, a father’s day 9 and Rose would be cool variants or an army of ghosts set of 10, Rose, Mickey and Jackie
Michael Watson
January 22nd, 2021 - 8:27pmThey could do a set of Rose in Union Jack tshirt as The Moment and as she is in Monstrous Beauty
Neil Corry
January 23rd, 2021 - 5:30amThere are some proper excellent ideas there. I’m not sure how much beyond the companion/story sets, though. There are lots of fans who like variants and those who aren’t so keen. I’ll try to investigate. Don’t expect an immediate answer.
the ergon
January 23rd, 2021 - 9:54amNeil i can understand its difficult to cater to everyone but why not just concentrate on originals and do the occasional variant sets? IE: Daleks, cybermen, Ood, Robots of Death that sort of thing.
Neil Corry
January 23rd, 2021 - 5:32pmErgon, you mean not do the additional sets?.
the ergon
January 23rd, 2021 - 7:37pmNo, I mean carry on with the Original Single Releases and the Companion sets with Doctor and companions in different attire but run separate variant sets occasionally with enemies like the ones i mentioned for Example You could have a red eyed Robot with corpse marker and an outreaching robot with injected head as a two pack. Similarly you could do a chained Angel and a byzantium Maze Angel, Rabid ood/ Ood Elder.You get my drift.
Neil Corry
January 23rd, 2021 - 10:18pmErgon: we’ve loads of plans. Let’s just see what happens 🙂
