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…

    I 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.

      If 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!

      June 15th, 2011 - 11:22pm

      I 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 - 3:11am

      That’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…

    I’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. 😀

      June 11th, 2011 - 10:10am

      the 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 - 8:52am

      Agreed Doctor stu, the 9th/10th Doctor playset is gorgeous. CO really got that one right.

    Wait 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 - 9:38am

      I 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 - 4:49pm

      yeh 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 - 4:50pm

      the jacket is wrong the tardis should have lghts and sound effects shoul’nt it

    • Mels

      June 7th, 2011 - 4:30pm

      It *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…

    • Mels

      June 5th, 2011 - 6:51pm

      Have 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…

  • whofan4ever

    June 4th, 2011 - 8:16am

    probably 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

    Reply
    • Mels

      June 5th, 2011 - 2:31pm

      Yeah, 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?)…

    If had to do a big box set about The Doctor’s Wife these are the figures I would probably choose for it:

    Junk TARDIS box set,
    The Doctor,
    Idris (the TARDIS),
    Amy,
    Rory,
    Nephew,
    House,
    Auntie and
    Uncle.
