Junk Tardis Console Playset
Junk Tardis Console Playset
Highly detailed 5-inch scale Junk TARDIS based on the design by Susannah Leah, winner of the Blue Peter ‘Design a TARDIS Console’ competition. Features include flight restraint safety straps; removable console panel and time rotator.
Use the spinner on the base to fly the TARDIS, get strapped in first though – it could be a rough ride! Action figure not included. Assembly required. 5+
Retail price seems to be around £20.00
This set is available to order online from Forbidden Planet or Forbidden Planet International
Our own images…
The junk Tardis with panel removed, click the image for a really large version…
The console from a low angle, the time rotor is completely removable…
The spinner – put your thumb on the rotating device (A) and use the handle (B) and spin the Tardis – Hold tight!
The back of the packaging…
Two sets of groves for the feet (The Doctor and Idris, yes where is Idris?) are provided along with flight restraint straps to hold the figures in place when you spin the Tardis…

DuckandGrouse
June 16th, 2011 - 6:33amwhere did the figure come from?
Mels
June 16th, 2011 - 8:18amProbably a prototype… currently unreleased either way.
The Spaceman
June 16th, 2011 - 5:50pmI hope it’s released in the future because there better than most of the current 11th doctor figures!
anthony
June 20th, 2011 - 4:31pmnot even screen acurate the doctor figure apart from the hair but the jacket wrong im going to get the xmas adventure set ag=ain and do a head swop
McGann is The Doctor.
June 15th, 2011 - 11:24pmI just hope the paint job, and detail work on this thing is up to standard, I don’t want to open it up and find CO have done a cheap job on the thing ! Like the last Tardis playset was.
There is no electronics cause then it would be megabucks.
Mels
June 16th, 2011 - 3:14amIf it looks at good as the promo pics, it will be fine (still not happy about the lack of electronics, but I could whinge about that all day…).
But I also have the same sinking twinge that the paint job at least will not match the pics we’ve seen.
…I’ll be very happy to open a box and be proven wrong!
The Spaceman
June 14th, 2011 - 4:32pmWill this be available to buy on sunday because I’m going to forbidden planet then?
booboo
June 14th, 2011 - 4:32pmits due this week so i hope so
The Spaceman
June 14th, 2011 - 4:40pmI have enough for that and a silent with mouth open so fingers crossed 🙂
Doctor Stu

McGann is The Doctor.
June 15th, 2011 - 11:22pmI was at Forbidden Planet just yesterday, they don’t have any new new-Series stuff, just plenty of classics. I had a tough choice between the three things I wanted and was allowed to have:
The Master and Tardis set.
Peri on Varos set.
And Peter Davison from Logopolis.
I wanted to get the Master and 5th Doctor regeneration but this would have been too much, so I had to settle for the Doctor’s dear girl, Perpagillium Brown instead. Always meant to have that set. 😀
Mels
June 16th, 2011 - 3:11amThat’s a really good haul McGann! I don’t have any of those yet.
… I’ve been constantly refreshing the CO website so I can order the new series figures, Junk console, and (a full box this time) of Character Building figures as soon as the new stuff goes live.
They must think I’m completely crackers constantly bombarding their website.
..Probably because I am, but you know…
RandomDude
June 10th, 2011 - 7:41pmIs this going to be on the lists?
booboo
June 10th, 2011 - 7:50pmyes we will do it when we get back
RandomDude

The Spaceman
June 7th, 2011 - 4:28pmI really want a classic Tardis playset!!
booboo
June 7th, 2011 - 4:31pmdont we all (well most of us)
Run For Your Life
June 7th, 2011 - 5:01pmI know i want one coz whenever i see anything classic doctor who i just get it sheight away me but somethings i cant get
Mels
June 7th, 2011 - 10:37amI’m vainly clinging to the hoope that this Tardis background is painted, but my brain and eyes are of course telling me it is cardboard… I just hope it at least has a nice metallic finish.
I’m am quite tired of cardboard in playsets though. 🙁
I hope at least the console paintwork will match up with this prototype, and not be released with fewer inferior colours like the 11th Doctor playset was…
I guess we will know soon enough. 😀
Mels
June 7th, 2011 - 10:39am*hope lol.
Still the queen of typos. :p
Doctor stu
June 11th, 2011 - 10:10amthe 11th doctors play set was too small and ‘cramped’ where as the 10th doctors was big and to scale with the figures.
Mels
June 13th, 2011 - 8:52amAgreed Doctor stu, the 9th/10th Doctor playset is gorgeous. CO really got that one right.
anthony
June 6th, 2011 - 4:54pmis this going to be a prototype cos it should have lights and sounds and have a secret figure like idris and still the doctors jacket rong errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!!!!!!!!! so anoying can some one find out iof they could do that ive only got 4 more series 5 figures to go 1 this week roman aution the reasion why im anypoed couldnt they just realease the xmas adventure set doctor with that tardis with lights and sounds with amy from the the almost people having the black jacket on and rory
anthony
June 10th, 2011 - 8:35pmi might do this im bying all the series 6 figures when they come out then after that this and there going strght away for xmas and what light was u talking about and another xmas adventure set because of the figure not having the correct jacket ive made the one from the rebel flesh all ive done is paint it blue botie and white shirt left the correct jacket and bying an other one to be the vairient
grimreaperguy
June 5th, 2011 - 7:01pmWait a sec 💡 thats a doctor figure from the series 6. persumerbly wave one. that means those figures arnt coming out. amelia, ood, stetson. they are making a completly different wave 1. and im expecting to see rory and river in it.
Mels
June 6th, 2011 - 9:38amI think that Doctor figure is a prototype from last season and not for release. CO have stuck prototype images on final box art before (11 Doctor Tardis Playset COUGH)…. I HATE it when they do that, it’s misleading, since the prototypes generally look nicer than the mass produced item you get in the box… (and I’d really like to own that figure!)
If this Junk set is nice, I’m seriously thinking about rigging a light into the time rotor, and maybe even pulling the SFX setup out of a regular flight control tardis and fitting it into…
anthony
June 6th, 2011 - 4:49pmyeh they should do that just show us a few and realese rory amy doctor for goodnes sake when are they going to give the doctor figure an xmas adventure set jacket and a blue and red bowtie for varient and have idris and all of the suggestions cos last time when we voted for series 5 figures the y had ploice amy and she came out so that means that the pirate amy might
anthony
June 6th, 2011 - 4:50pmthe jacket is wrong the tardis should have lghts and sound effects shoul’nt it
Mels
June 7th, 2011 - 4:30pmIt *should* have lights/sound yes, because it is a PLAYset and not an ornament. The fact that the Tardis can be assembled/unassembled, would have made it slightly trickier to put in a light, but certainly not impossible.
I would have happily paid and extra £5 for a red glow and a couple of sound effects, but it’s not to be. CO seem to be shying away from these now (mega shame!). For example, the 11th Doctor Flight Control Tardis is missing the interior light, and the 11th Doctor Playset had no lights/sound whatsoever…
Space Fish
June 5th, 2011 - 4:33pmDoes anyone know how big it’s going to be?
Mels
June 5th, 2011 - 6:51pmHave there been any mock-ups of this seen? Otherwise not sure. It certainly doesn’t LOOK very big. If the Doctor figure is to scale… I’d say… 7-8 inches tall maybe? Probably a bit wider.
I think it’s safe to say it won’t be huge…
The Spaceman
June 4th, 2011 - 9:45pmI can’t wait to buy this! It would look amazing with an Idris figure!
DoctorWho2011
June 5th, 2011 - 7:10ammuch better wound’t it with Idris
cyberleader
June 5th, 2011 - 5:12pmI agree I so wish it came with an Idris figure
whofan4ever
June 4th, 2011 - 8:16amprobably a daft question but what is the time rotor and the spinner
i think the time rotor is the middle but i aint no sure yol lol
and i think the spinner is on top
Mels
June 5th, 2011 - 2:31pmYeah, the time rotor is the column in the middle. (I think the 11th Doctor would describe it as the ‘uppy downy thing’!) Except this model doesn’t have a functioning time rotor, just a dismantable one.
We won’t know 100% what the spinner is until these are seen in the ‘flesh’ (so to speak), but it will most likely be the same as the flight control Tardis. That is, a free-moving rotating indent under the Tardis that you balance one finger on. Then you ‘spin’ the Tardis by twirling it from the top with your other hand. (Make sense?)…
whofan4ever
June 8th, 2011 - 6:54pmyeah thanks
knew it was a daft question
i thought the spinner wa the plus shaped bit on the top
whofan4ever

Idris (the TARDIS),
Amy,
Rory,

June 3rd, 2011 - 10:08amListed now on the CO website @ £19.99.
Not in stock yet, but cheaper than expected. 😀
Mels
June 2nd, 2011 - 10:51amLooks nice, but dissapointed with the lack of light and SFX. A TARDIS without that – even a ‘junk’ one lol, just doesn’t seem like a real TARDIS…
roo slitheen
June 2nd, 2011 - 10:46amIM AVING DEFINATLY THAT!
timelord3
June 1st, 2011 - 9:31amwill there be an idris figure because she was the one who controlled it not just the doctor
DoctorWho2011

booboo
June 1st, 2011 - 10:53amI think they mean will there be an idris figure which i’m sure there will be
DoctorWho2011

nicholas
May 29th, 2011 - 11:39amI contacted Forbidden Planet and they said it does not require batterys
Scarves are awesome
May 28th, 2011 - 3:10pmCould make a passable Classic Tardis until Character finally realize it would be a good idea to make one as it is one thing that fans have been crying out for them to make, and instead they waste plastic making things like Destroyed Cassandra
