Figurine Collection Magazine Issue 204 Navarino
The Doctor Who Figurine Collection part 204 features a Navarino from the 1987 Seventh Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) adventure ‘Delta and the Bannermen’.
Shape-changing alien tourists, the Navarino used transformation arches to disguise themselves as humans and take in exotic Earth culture – such as Disneyland, or a holiday camp in Wales. Their true form resembled giant purple starfish, with a warbling voice and extremely low stamina.
The Seventh Doctor and Mel tagged along, only for their spacefaring tour bus to run into the intergalactic criminals called the Bannerman, who killed all the Navarino on board. The Bannerman were searching for the refugee Delta, who was fleeing genocide with her child – fortunately, the Doctor was able to protect her, and she was resettled on Earth.

June 28th, 2021 - 1:20pmI never knew I really wanted this until I saw it! Brilliant and unexpected choice!
bryan
June 28th, 2021 - 10:16amDoes anyone know when this fabulous Navarino will be available to pre order? Or a link to it on EagleMoss. As I can’t find one.
I think demand for this is going to be Big. Don’t want to miss-out.

June 28th, 2021 - 10:31amWill go on FP first them EM in a few weeks, problem is they now announce these way before you can order them.
Chris Howarth
June 28th, 2021 - 8:46amI didn’t think Eaglemoss would be able to surprise me with a release anymore. But they have and it’s a welcome one.

June 28th, 2021 - 6:43amNeil, I love the more obscure characters! My favourite so far is the Anne-droid! Give us more of these kind of figurines.
Chris
June 27th, 2021 - 1:28pmIt’s good to have obscure figurines done but there is quite a few really good ones that I think are long overdue from Tom mid era like the fendahl,rutan,weng chieng,krynoid,virus,black guardian, and pertwees mutant,King peladon,maggot,peladon miner,arkturus,spider etc.
One thing considering the 5th doctor did 3 seasons plus 20th anniversary I think his incarnation has been neglected the most with the fewest figurines per stories, and still not one special? Mara,murka,tss,awakening head,
Android robot,monarch,enlightment,persuasion,tractator,black/white guardian,federators son,malice,dojan with the minds eye,timonov,mawdryn undead,2 versions of the brigadier,raston warrior robot,five doctors yeti, rassilon,dalek commander lyton,commander maxil,kamillion,eternal,captain rack,cyberman guard robots etc

June 28th, 2021 - 11:25amThere are some good suggestions here – a reminder that EM have such a vast and diverse treasure box to draw ideas from. I’m up for figurines of the Malus, the Black Guardian, the Tractators, Kamelion etc I believe EM have already done a model of Weng-Chiang. There’s been a lot of calls in the past for a Raston Warrior robot figurine but I can’t help thinking it would turn out to be a quite a ‘bland’ figurine – I’d be more interested in a damaged Cyberman from the Five Doctors – chest exploding, javelin in arm etc… I’m definitely looking forward to a Terileptil Android, I think EM could do a terrific job with it.
Chris
June 28th, 2021 - 9:59pmActually the only figurine they have done from talons is magnus greel not weing chieng which I think would be very good colourful character and a bit like the celestial toymaker, on that note also how about lightfoot and jago figurines? Boxset maybe with weing,lightfoot,jago,and Leela In her theatre dress?
Chris
June 28th, 2021 - 10:15pmAlso I have seen comments hoping the series will go 220,250 issues but frankly as this has surpassed any other collection by miles due to its popularity it could easily go past 300. And it’s also about viability if it keeps selling with our support there is no reason why it will not do so, as also someone has already pointed out a new 39th series(13) due soon and the impending 14th doctor ? Must admit I would be happy for jodie to continue and 60th anniversary things can only get more interesting

June 29th, 2021 - 6:48pmHi Chris – I think you might be describing Li H’sen Chang there – the Chinese ventriloquist who worked with Mr Sin (and for Magnus Greel). Technically, Weng-Chiang never really appears as a character in Talons – just Greel impersonating him. Totally agree, Li H’sen would make a great figurine

June 26th, 2021 - 5:04pmIf Neil and Co keeps getting this kind of reaction to very minor characters they might decide to make more of them (fingers crossed).
I havnt seen this kind of reaction for Daleks or Cybermen.

June 26th, 2021 - 10:14amAlways thought that ‘chunky’ classic monsters make for the best figurines, this is fantastic – I love the obscurity!
Arcadia Resident
June 26th, 2021 - 5:05amPlenty of space for more characters????is that a titbit of info of the collection going over collection number 220 or am I just seeing something that is not there?????
The Flying Shark
June 26th, 2021 - 8:26amI hope so-I think they could make it to 250 easily, even though I don’t know where I’d put them!

June 25th, 2021 - 9:27pmThis looks phenomenal. I hope to god there is another extension. WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE!

June 25th, 2021 - 10:30pmyes, Yes, YES…!!! To more!!! This figurine is brilliant!!!!
The Werewolf
June 25th, 2021 - 7:25pmThis is absolutely amazing. I haven’t been so chuffed since we’ll, the Mandrel. But this is truly spectacular.

June 25th, 2021 - 5:53pmI always like this creature, I want this!
the ergon
June 25th, 2021 - 5:01pmNo bleating this time Neil. If anything more monsters.
Squab
June 25th, 2021 - 4:58pmExcellent. The kind of figurine I’d buy even if I weren’t collecting these. Let’s have a Plasmaton, Fungoid & Posicarian next ta! The more obscure classic monsters & characters the better I say.
bryan
June 25th, 2021 - 4:34pmI don’t get these figures. Bar for a few choice ones. But JOY of JOYs. How bonkers fabulously brilliant.
Amazing. I am so having a Navarino.

June 25th, 2021 - 4:28pmPut my hands up I’ve never seen Delta and The Bannerman so until googling this creature just now I had no idea it was even a thing.

June 25th, 2021 - 4:59pmThe way we are living at the moment its more like delta variant and the Bannermen.

June 25th, 2021 - 8:30pmHaha that actually gave me a good laugh Ergon. Nice one.

June 28th, 2021 - 12:32pmI have seen Delta and the Bannerman and didn’t even know this was a thing XD

June 25th, 2021 - 3:39pmI literally didn’t even know this existed! It’s almost cooler because it’s so obscure! 😀
Doug Who
June 25th, 2021 - 3:32pmI love this figurine! This is what is just so fantastic about this collection that we can get these obscure characters and monsters. It adds such breadth to the collection and I’m hoping for a few more to come.
Not my favourite story by any means but these were quite amusing creatures and it is great to have them.
Thanks Neil (and everyone else) for this!
John
June 26th, 2021 - 11:16pmI can actually see them doing the Taran Woodbeast now. Anyway great to have such an obscure creature!
Doug Who
June 27th, 2021 - 1:46pmI’m really hoping they will do the Taran Wood Beast but Neil has said there have been problems getting clearance to do it. I’m really hoping it may yet appear.
Still holding out hope for a Krarg too! I’d love to see that as a figurine most of all I think.
Fledershrew
June 25th, 2021 - 3:30pmMenace of the walking sea cucumber alert! I’ve been re-watching quite a few of the Seventh Doctor’s stories recently – Delta and the Bannerman included. Great to see these obscure aliens being added to the collection.
How about the Terileptil Android, EM? Classic design.
Anonymous
June 25th, 2021 - 1:31pmHa, very odd choice. But any are welcome!
Jason Z
June 25th, 2021 - 12:18pmThanks both. I’ve haven’t watched that one on a while, clearly. It looked to me a bit like a Plasmaton or Erato, but not really either!
The ergon
June 25th, 2021 - 12:25pmTwo good classic series choices. Styggron cant be far off alongside a chumbly surely. Oh and of course the terileptil android.
Jason Z
June 25th, 2021 - 10:49pmStill hoping for the Borad, me. By the way I posted before Booboo had added Neil’s comments above. I saw the monster, with no explanation attached, and thought – crikey, a Who monster I don’t recognise!
The ergon
June 25th, 2021 - 12:18pmThis was one on the’ fake’ list that was put out some time ago.

June 25th, 2021 - 12:14pmNavarino from Delta and the Bannermen
The ergon
June 25th, 2021 - 12:15pmFrom delta and the bannermen. And to think i was going to customise my own. Thats one more off my to do list.

June 25th, 2021 - 12:20pmSoon as I saw this figure I thought of you ergon. I remembered you didn’t think Eaglemoss would do it so it was on your to do list.

June 25th, 2021 - 12:26pmJason, it was a blink and you’ll miss it moment. They were all on the coach party trip that ended up at the Welsh holiday camp but desguised as humans. There was a brief appearance of one before it transformed into human form.
The ergon
June 25th, 2021 - 12:38pmI put that choice on hold after seeing that list for 201-210 coleman. I,m wondering how many were right now seeing the navarino.
The ergon
June 25th, 2021 - 12:42pmAka murray the coach driver.
the ergon
June 25th, 2021 - 5:11pmI think doing customs is fine. You can choose to pose them differently or add props etc that some of these lack.
the ergon
June 25th, 2021 - 5:20pmIn the case of these navarino and primord figurines they are perfect as they are in their freeze frame iconic poses.
