Harrops Future Figurines The Master, Daffodil Auton and Troll Doll
From their facebook page
With the Hartnell’s starting to go out (there are only 9 left as I write this so please don’t leave it too late if you want one!), so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to show you the images I have been promising of the sculpts for the next three pieces.
Pictured here with sculptor Mike Rogers, they are all taken from 1971’s Terror of the Autons, we have the Master, a Daffodil Auton and the Master’s evil little troll doll!
Yet to finalise the release schedule, but I am aiming for the first piece to be released at the end of October. They won’t be released as a set, but if production time allows I would like to get all three out before Christmas.
Anyway, I hope you like what you see and they sure do make for an eclectic little set! I will post images of the completed and fully painted pieces shortly.
As promised here is the first pic of our William Hartnell, the First Doctor, figurine. I think Mike’s done a great job, no easy feat at such a small scale, so I hope you all approve. I’ve pencilled him in for an August 27th release, Limited Edition 225.
Here is the first fully painted image of the Ancient One Haemovore from the 1989 Doctor Who episode The Curse of Fenric. He will be a Limited Edition of only 225 pieces and will go live on their website for pre-ordering from Friday 25th June.
The next figurine after that will be William Hartnell, he has not yet been painted but they will be posting images of the completed piece very shortly. This will be pencilled in for an August release. After that Mike is currently working on 3 sculpts from the same episode to hopefully round off 2021. News on those when they have all been completed so they can show them off as a set.

September 19th, 2021 - 1:00pmI know this will be controversial but I would love to see Jodie whitaker done as their next Doctor. She’s not even my favourite Doctor, but I think it would be nice to get a female in a male dominated collection. Like to see a few of the companions now aswell such as Clara, Peri, Tegan and Sarah Jane.
(Unfortunately, Jodie probably won’t happen due to Harrops concentrating more on the Classic series)
Doug Who
September 19th, 2021 - 10:22pmShouldn’t be controversial at all Coleman (although you’re right it probably will be) because she is the Doctor as much as any other actor in the role. Totally agree she should be part of the series and her Doctor would make a colourful figure in this range.
I’m not a fan of Peter Davison or Colin Baker’s Doctors but they should always be as much a part of series merchandise as any other. Personally, I think Jodie has been poorly served by the writing and the resort to the default breathless ‘wacky’ characterisation many of the new Doctors have had. She is a great actor, but like Davison, depends on scripts rather than being a ‘personality’ actor.
If Harrop are concentrating on older characters, they could do the Rani, the female Eldrad, Cessair of Diplosm even Lady Adrasta (one of my very favourite villains) to balance it out a bit.
On another note very sad to hear of the death of John Challis – he was simply fantastic as Scorby. Took me ages to realise he was the same actor that played Boycie!
Coleman
September 20th, 2021 - 10:31amHello Doug, shouldn’t be controversial like you say , but I did expect a few negative comments. She’s not my favourite Doctor, but I think it would be really nice to get a few women characters in this collection. Also really love her outfit, mainly because of the rainbow stripes on the coat edging and also on her shirt. I think it makes a very striking outfit which would transfer well to a Harrops figure.
RIP John Challis, we seem to be losing alot of the older Dr Who actors now.
Having grown up with many of these actors since I was a child, they seem like friends.
It’s such a shame.
Coleman
September 20th, 2021 - 10:49amRattling on again, but I grew up with the the Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker era, so no wonder that most Doctor Nu Who costumes are way too plain for me. Probably why I like Jodie’s so much, it seems to be more like the classic Doctors outfits again. (Don’t know if anyone else would agree).
Doug Who
September 20th, 2021 - 12:39pmI do like Jodie’s costume but perhaps, like Davison and C. Baker it’s a little too rigid in its design for me. Not to mention those crass question marks J N-T was so fond of! I prefer Doctors to have a distinct style but less of a ‘costume’ like Jon and Tom’s look.
Get what you mean by the newer Doctors looking plain but I quite liked Tennant’s look, it moved well at least!
I wonder if Harrops will ever do any more newer characters? Surely there’s two hundred folk out there would buy them? Not sure I’d be one of them mind!
Coleman
September 20th, 2021 - 1:09pmI hope so Doug, I like the new Doctors and Aliens just as much as Classic who, I think it’s a big missed opportunity if Harrops only concentrate on the Classics.
I understand though, like Booboo mentioned they seem to have found their market with Classic Who, the newer stuff sells much, much slower and probably ties up their revenue.
Doctor Mysterio
September 21st, 2021 - 1:42amI like Jodie too but agree she has not been well served by the scripts. Then again, it took about two seasons for them to get Capaldi’s Doctor right. Now he’d make a good figure! Season 10 hair please…
Coleman
September 21st, 2021 - 3:15pmHello Doctor Mysterio, I remember their last Nu Who figure was the Sycorax and it was in their store for months and months before it finally sold out and their was only around 200 made.
So they’ll probably stick to the classics in future.
Coleman
September 18th, 2021 - 6:59pmI don’t think that Troll Doll looks scary, at the moment it just looks adorable.
Unless it looks different when painted.
The ergon
September 18th, 2021 - 7:36pmIt will look great when painted coleman with those prominent fangs and stary eyes. Not look as adorable then
Coleman
September 18th, 2021 - 9:45pmI do really like it still ergon, but it does look cute though.
Anonymous
September 18th, 2021 - 2:50pmOnly five 1st Doctors left now, they won’t last long.
Shaun
September 17th, 2021 - 7:57pmWhy is the auton’s base so large? I hope it’s like all the rest of the figures on the finished product.
Coleman
September 18th, 2021 - 11:52amIt will be Shaun, I’m speculating the Auton was the last one to be finished of these three and it hasn’t been removed from the stand yet. I’ve noticed they’ve still got to add his gun (probably in pewter) so it’s still WIP.
Popplewick
September 18th, 2021 - 2:55pmI assumed the stand was bigger to give the figure some prominence. I love Who sets just as I liked the Harrops Anderson figures released in groups. A Web Planet set would be supreme as would a collection of the Masterplan delegates.
Coleman
September 18th, 2021 - 4:29pmHello popplewick, I noticed the Auton wasn’t yet on his white stone marble base yet, like the other two figurines are. So just assumed it wasnt finished yet.
TimelordTim
September 18th, 2021 - 6:28pmMaybe the stand will be reduced once it’s finished. After all, the stand for the Ancient One is larger in the unpainted pictures then it is in the painted photos.
Coleman
September 18th, 2021 - 6:31pmGlad your here Tim, just letting you know ergons just posted a couple of photos on collections.
the ergon
September 17th, 2021 - 5:00pmjust not you wanted to see just yet coleman. the troll doll is a surprise being so diminuitive but you were right about the master. Being the 50th Anniversary was not expecting any less. They had to come up with something for dear Roger Delgado.
the ergon
September 17th, 2021 - 5:05pmstill on the fence about purchasing The Master. It might have been better had it been the master holding the Troll doll from terror and then we could have left a space for Bok or something new. The auton is great in its iconic pose though i would have preffered it hoding the basket of Daffodils for this particular story.
the ergon
September 17th, 2021 - 5:08pmWhat do you reckon coleman 50 quid for the Troll doll? LOL
Coleman
September 17th, 2021 - 5:22pmIt’s ok ergon, The Daffodil Auton is such a great figure with such vivid colours, I’m glad everyone gets a chance to snap him up now. Stunning set, really like these.
Also with how good the portrait is of the 1st Doctor recently, I’m really confident they’ll be able to nail the masters likeness now. Even if the photos don’t do it justice trust me ergon, buy it he will look great.
Tottal surprise making these three though, since booboo mentioned he couldn’t see it being from the Autons even I I was leaning towards it being from the Colony in Space.
Doug Who
September 17th, 2021 - 5:31pmColeman,
Like Ergon, I was feeling a little for you after all your work on your one but I thought this would be the three. The ‘Colony In Space’ aliens seemed a bit too obscure for even Harrop and Azal might be too big (although he can be any size theoretically!)
I don’t buy all of these but the Auton and Troll Doll I might go for. They do monsters very well!
Coleman
September 17th, 2021 - 5:35pmYes, believe it or not, just mentioned that to a familly member, saying I hope that Troll Dolls not going to be £60 or £70 pound as usual.
I remember people having this debate on social media about K9 with most people saying it will be quite cheap because of its size. Then Harrops announced it would be the usual price because of all the work involved. (Oh dear).
the ergon
September 17th, 2021 - 5:36pmIf anything this trio are the most predictable choices but Welcome choices at that. I,m not sure about the master just yet. Anyway One less purchase might be an lower edition number for yourself. I didn,t even buy the doctors second favourite friend K-9 for the same reason. I just prefer the ‘Aliens’ and monsters.
Coleman
September 17th, 2021 - 5:43pmThanks Doug Who, believe it or not the characters I picked to make were fairly obscure so I thought they might never get made by Harrops, then they go and do this to me.LOL.
When it finally arrives, Ill photo Harrops version next to mine and see how alike they are.
Coleman
September 17th, 2021 - 5:45pmBy the way Doug, ergons posted a couple of customs on Collections, don’t know if you’ve seen them yet?
the ergon
September 17th, 2021 - 5:46pmYou could use yours and the harrop version as a template and do a different pose or even carrying Daffodils. Thats as good as theirs done.
the ergon
September 17th, 2021 - 5:51pmP.s Doug i,ve put 2 customs up. Not much but i,m on with others when i,m not busy tapping my comments in here just about daily.
The ergon
September 17th, 2021 - 6:24pmThanks for the highlight xoleman. I thought id have to tout for viewers for my collection. Thinking i should have put at least 5 or 6 up first and the kandyman. Which i want as good as i can get if its going in my cabinet. Its self doubt concerning the wiring and those tiny swirly eyes thats the issue.
The ergon
September 17th, 2021 - 6:45pmIm wondering if The master will be the next release and the auton last?
Coleman
September 17th, 2021 - 6:48pmIt’s ok ergon, comments are usually slow to start with when you post to collections then each time you post more customs you’ll get a few more comments, they’ll soon build up mate.
Coleman
September 17th, 2021 - 7:17pmCould be the Master released first ergon, just to make sure he gets released during the 50th Anniversary. I’m tipping things won’t go to plan and they might not get all 3 out this year.
So it won’t be a good idea to leave him until last.
(Nothings going to plan this last couple of years).
Anonymous
August 28th, 2021 - 10:59amTheirs still 12, Tomb of the Cyberman doors left then all their back catalogues completely gone.
the ergon
August 27th, 2021 - 8:59amI,m not sure we,ll hear anything about the trio from season 8 till these are shipped out. Those will be the big sell outs.
Doctor Mysterio
August 26th, 2021 - 11:07pmUp for order now.
Coleman
August 26th, 2021 - 11:16pmJust ordered Dr Mysterio, now the wait begins.
Doctor Mysterio
August 27th, 2021 - 1:56amMine is on his way too, Coleman. Got in early. Can’t wait 🙂
Harrops Fan
August 27th, 2021 - 8:14amLooks like they’ve kept the edition size at 225, the same as the last few releases.
Just placed my order. I think there’s maybe one-third of them left 80+.
Coleman
August 16th, 2021 - 2:38pmHarrops have just announced the edition size of 250 for William Hartnell, for pre-order on Friday the 27th of August.
Coleman
August 16th, 2021 - 2:45pm225, not sure how 250 got on their.
the ergon
August 16th, 2021 - 3:03pmHave they increased the number from 225. Previous doctors were really slow sales but with more interest in these figurines and knowing the others sold out i think they know they are onto a winner and especially since this is one that falls under classics. I,m sure the rest of the doctors will sell as well. I,m predicting (and i,m going out on a limb) this will sell out. Just not as quickly as the monsters do now.
the ergon
August 16th, 2021 - 3:06pmI ,m wondering now if theyll do an increase in numbers when the season 8 trio get release dates.
Coleman.
August 16th, 2021 - 6:41pmJust 225 being made of the 1st Doctor ergon. I made a mistake with putting 250.
They seem happy at the moment with the edition being set at 225, it seems to be selling out quite quickly.
The ergon
August 16th, 2021 - 6:49pmAlright coleman. Looks like your wallet might be taking a battering then this fortnight. Might call b and m friday for any news.
Coleman
August 16th, 2021 - 7:04pmMost weeks my wallet takes a battering ergon, especially with collecting Star wars merchandise aswell.
The Eaglemoss and CO stuffs fine but sometimes I wish the more high end collectibles like Harrops and Big Chief where cheaper.
The ergon
August 25th, 2021 - 7:03pmDont forget youve a billy figure to fork out for tomorrow night coleman. Im waiting for the next reveal. Hope its one never done before monster. I still think it will be bok or the auton. Ill be happy whatever.
Coleman
August 26th, 2021 - 3:16pmI havnt forgot about Billy ergon, I’ll be their around 11 tonight. Harrops posted yesterday the figurine was going to be 70 pounds again.
Bit of a strange one with Harrops not revealing any of their forthcoming figures yet.
Can’t remember being in this situation before were we havnt seen any new photographic reveals from them and their last revealed figure goes on pre-order tonight?
Hope they post some photos soon.
the ergon
August 27th, 2021 - 9:01amYou might get a lower number this time coleman.
Coleman
August 27th, 2021 - 11:37amHope so ergon, now I know about the 11.00 o,clock pre-order situation I’ll try and order straight away in future.
Booboo, Didn’t you order Hartnell, I know Zygon invader sent you a reminder yesterday and you replied it was past your bedtime?
booboo
August 27th, 2021 - 6:19pmI “work” odd hours so 11.00 pm is way to late for me to put posts live, harrops used to send stuff in advance for a while so we could have it ready and scheduled automatically but they dont anymore.
Coleman
August 27th, 2021 - 6:22pmDid you order The 1st Doctor Booboo. (How you still collecting them?).
booboo
August 27th, 2021 - 6:32pmnot at the moment
Dalekz
August 2nd, 2021 - 12:30pmIt’s not the most accurate but you know who he is, monsters are usually more successful than Humanoids with these but it’s fine. I leave the lifelike stuff to Character and Big Chief these are more stylized.
The ergon
August 25th, 2021 - 7:05pmThe doctors maybe.
Dalek Eye Stalk
August 1st, 2021 - 9:07pmDoesn’t quite look like Hartnell to me. Harrops should just concentrate on the monsters of Doctor Who. They always look great! But the Doctors often seem not quite right.
booboo
August 2nd, 2021 - 9:39amharrops have always had their own style of hand sculpted human Characters, no computer in involved!
You either like their style or you don’t, Facebook response has been overwhelming positive, i actually really like this one
Harrops Fan
August 27th, 2021 - 8:24amI agree about the look of the ‘human’ figures that Harrops do. Almost a cartoonish/puppet style. It worked especially well for some of their other ranges like Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet.
Because Harrops have already made several Doctor’s I’d still like to see them do all the rest of them, just for the sake of completeness.
To be honest, the stylised ‘Harrop’ look is begining to grow on me. The more I look at the one’s I have, the more their unique appearance appeals. But to each their own.
Now, let’s have the First Doctor in a monochrome edition as well please!
Popplewick
July 31st, 2021 - 8:48pmSuperb !! Looks even better in a larger pic.

July 31st, 2021 - 2:33pmIs it weird that I think it the face looks like John Hurt? (Not in a bad way, just an observation, it’s a really nice statue!)
David Minter
July 31st, 2021 - 2:18pmI don’t know. There’s just something “off” about this one. I don’t have any Harrops figurines, so I can’t say what they look like in real life. Only going by the posted picture. I’m not knocking the Hartnell likeness, it just seems a bit odd.
Anonymous
July 31st, 2021 - 8:34amLooked like a character options one to me at first! 😀
the ergon
July 31st, 2021 - 9:56amTheres a touch of Hartnell but still not lifelike enough in my opinion and the reason i don,t collect doctors. I.m waiting for the big 3.

June 24th, 2021 - 6:58pmIt’s been mentioned by Dan that the three figures from one story which will be released later this year are from Season 8, under John Pertwee’s tenure.

June 24th, 2021 - 9:07pmI’m gonna say Colony in Space
The ergon
June 24th, 2021 - 9:18pmAzal, bok and i dont think coleman would like to hear this , a carnixal auton. I actually wouldnt mind the master holding the troll doll or the high priest from colony if theres truth to this.
Bicky
June 24th, 2021 - 10:23pmMaybe Daffodil Auton, Auton and The Master.
The ergon
June 25th, 2021 - 12:05amMaster holding troll doll would be better. And bok. And colony high priest.
Coleman
June 25th, 2021 - 12:11amYes, on the Friends of Harrops site some of the members have mentioned theirs only really two possibilities. One you’ve just mentioned or Azal, Bok and the master.
the ergon
June 25th, 2021 - 9:16amActually the carnival Auton holding a basket, arm outstretched offering a daffodil would be a nice pose but equally The master holding that troll doll in one hand would be great and kill two birds with one stone as well as counting it as one release. Though i dare say they might go for the classic pose with the tissue compression eliminator. Thats what makes these so unique. A classic pose and a good prop if needed, to add a more stylish touch.
Coleman
June 25th, 2021 - 8:37pmYes ergon. True, the Carnival Autons not high on my want list now. But it’s nice for people to get him in their collections, he’s a great character.

Fledershrew
June 11th, 2021 - 5:18pmYes I’d also like to see Harrop tackle the Terileptil Android. I think it could be terrific!
Coleman
June 11th, 2021 - 6:45pmThe Android and Terileptil leader would be good. I know Dan mentioned on their site the Leader was coming soon, but that was two years ago?
Anonymous
June 11th, 2021 - 6:59pmHartnell next then trio from the same story to be announced – could be Terileptil Leader, Android and Android dressed as Death?
Coleman
June 11th, 2021 - 8:06pmErgon, the next figure is William Hartnell. But after that Dans mentioned the next 3figures this year will be from the same Episodes. Any Guesses?
Anonymous
June 11th, 2021 - 8:11pmHopefully, Terileptil leader, Android and Peter Davison.
The ergon
June 11th, 2021 - 8:25pmI only bang on about it as ‘the visitation’ is my joint favourite 5th doctor story, alongside androzani elevated more by john savidents comical scenes as the squire. ‘I think its fair to say we are under attack’. Brilliant.
The ergon
June 11th, 2021 - 8:32pmColeman i,d like to think warriors of the deep, greatest show or even the happiness patrol if true, though we can count out ‘the kandyman’ i think. What about you? New series perhaps?
The ergon
June 11th, 2021 - 8:43pmGlad its the hartnell doctor. I can miss that one and save those pounds for those b and m figure sets. Daleks, sensorites, voord et al, i,ll be ready and stairfoot bound.
the ergon
June 11th, 2021 - 9:10pmMaybe they could complete pyramids with the sarcophagus, a mummy and a different sutekh variation. Preferably the one with the smoking feet to complete that story. Or how about from ‘The Five doctors’ or ‘The trial of a timelord’. You,ve really got me thinking now coleman.
the ergon
June 11th, 2021 - 9:21pmAnonymous. I hope you,re onto something with those three choices. How cool would that be?
Coleman
June 11th, 2021 - 10:01pmIn think it’ll definitely be classic figures ergon. The new series doesn’t seem to sell has well for Harrops. The last new series figure they did was the sycorax which was around for months before selling out. Even Booboo mentioned that Harrops had found their audience with the Classic stuff. Would be funny if it turned out to be Omega, 5th Doctor and you guessed it the Ergon!
Coleman
June 11th, 2021 - 10:20pmThe Greatest show you mentioned could be a possibility, theirs plenty of Characters from that episode to make three figurines. If the “Gods” were made as just one figurine. Maybe a Chief Clown and the bus conductor could be added. (I quite like the half buried robot). In future I wonder if companions are totally out of the question from Harrops)?
Coleman
June 11th, 2021 - 10:28pmIt’s just come to me who the Kerblam men reminded me of.
The bus conductor from TGSITGalaxy

June 11th, 2021 - 10:39pmWould love A destroyer of worlds with Morgana and the 7th Doctor.
The ergon
June 12th, 2021 - 12:49amMaybe colin and peters eras need a little more representation. They could easily pluck three enemies from trial. Drathro, sil and a vervoid which has been mooted as a possibility. Greatest show i,d like them to do but i am biased as its my joint seventh doctor favourite with curse which is now slightly covered. They could do companion pieces but like doctors i wouldn,t be interested as the style wouldn,t be to my taste. Are you purchasing big chiefs lifelike master and troll doll. I might make my first purchase for that alone. Regret not getting the matt and clara which are sold out and unsurprisingly i noticed you have on your shelves with capaldi. I bet they require dusting regulary on their stands being material.
Coleman
June 12th, 2021 - 11:38amYes dustings a nightmare ergon. Keep upstairs windows closed most of the time so only dust about every six months. (Still takes awhile though). Only ones I havnt on pre-order at the moment, funnily enough is the Master and Captain Jack. (Purely money issues). Would love them one day. Keep getting regular updates on my Big Chief 3rd and 13th Doctors, apparently production is finally finished and are shipping from China end of this month. (I’ll post photos on their shelf’s when they finally arrive.) I’ve also Tom and Colin and K9 on pre-order, but their way off yet.
Anonymous
June 12th, 2021 - 5:43pmI hope the 3 figurines Harrops are making from the same episode does include another Doctor.
It’s time they made a concerted effort to make at least all of the Classic Doctors if not all of the Doctors soon.

April 7th, 2021 - 12:27pmI mentioned on Facebook that it should be the 13th since she’s the current Doctor.
Bit odd if not.
the ergon
April 7th, 2021 - 12:33pmThat would allow me a break to save for the monsters. Seems odd they haven,t done one in a while though for those that want the Doctors.
Who Knows
April 7th, 2021 - 1:35pmIt will likely be the 1st Doctor . . .
Toyman
April 20th, 2021 - 8:22am@annonymous…… Yeah, its only a bit odd if they did make the “Cosplay Doctor”. They want to make money so it definitely won’t be her it’ll be a classic doctor!
