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…

SpiderDalek94
June 21st, 2011 - 9:15pmWOW Thats a LONG list of contents on the bottom of the back of the box lol its a shame the doctor in the promotional images isnt included. booboo ive heard from character onlines twitter that they hinted at rory being released in a later wave and the next wave is announced in the summer. exciting stuff 🙂
booboo
June 21st, 2011 - 9:21pmLast tweet from Character was “we currently have no plans to release a Rory figure.” have a look at CharacterOnline’s twitter
make of that what you will!
SpiderDalek94
June 21st, 2011 - 9:32pmSomeone Twitted Before that tweet “Why Do We have dismembered Doctor Goo And Not Rory?
And Character Twitted “we do not know what figures we will have until they are announced, but it could well be that the figs you want will be…released in a later wave.”
So Thats Them Slightly hinting at rory and others like hopefully river song.
booboo
June 21st, 2011 - 9:36pmyes i saw that, i kind of agree that its strange we get goo and no Rory figure (yet) i was just looking at their last tweet earlier today
SpiderDalek94
June 21st, 2011 - 9:44pmI did once email them a while ago asking about it and they said that they had it in production but they lost the sculpt made for it. seems like a silly excuse to me. you wouldnt expect them to loose a sculpt from a highly organised place like
designworks/Character Options. But then again if they have a manufacturing problem that delays wave 1 of series 6 figures then maybe they were telling the truth.You would have expected them to have at least done a prototype sculpt by now. only time will tell but we will get rory at some point. 🙂

June 21st, 2011 - 8:23pmthe top part of the playset is it removable?
booboo
June 21st, 2011 - 8:30pmnot really as it holds the back panel together
SpiderDalek94
June 21st, 2011 - 8:20pmBooboo do you know why Character Options has removed the “Based on the blue peter competition winner Susannah Leah” under junk tardis console playset?
It was on the box shown on blue peter but not on the offcial product :L
The Playset itself looks Amazing and the detail is incredible 🙂
booboo
June 21st, 2011 - 8:30pmits on the back of the box
SpiderDalek94
June 21st, 2011 - 8:37pmOh ok. it just seems strange that it was originally on the front and now is on the back. I think it should be on the front because it is her design and it makes it look cheeky that they havent given her credit when they have (On the back)
how do these “Safety straps” work?
The box makes it sound like its an important part of the set. 🙂
booboo
June 21st, 2011 - 8:39pmyou can put then round the figure (just) to hold them in
SpiderDalek94
June 21st, 2011 - 8:46pmah thats a very clever idea 🙂
im liking this set even more. probably won’t get it for a while because i don’t have much money on me but i will try to get this even if it doesnt come with an idris figure. Though i sense an exclusive idris figure with the set ONLY at argos. 😕
ParadigmDalek
June 22nd, 2011 - 5:21amI am definately getting this! Though I do think Idris should’ve come with this set though I’m not complaining as much. 🙂

booboo

Doctormad

booboo
June 21st, 2011 - 7:19pmthere is a spinner in the base but i cant quite work out what you do with it, perhaps some one could enlighten me
ronan
June 21st, 2011 - 6:10pmI’m looking forward to recieving mine! Why does it need to advertise safety straps though?

June 21st, 2011 - 5:50pmMy brother has that toy piano lol !
BOOBOO JR
June 21st, 2011 - 4:51pmFew questions about this Booboo:
1) Is this out now?
2) Is this worth getting if I don’t really play with the figures?
3) How detailed is this?
booboo
June 21st, 2011 - 5:01pmyes it is
i think its brilliant for £20, but would be best with figures.
Its not as detailed as the Large Tardis, the time rotor extends and is removable, it just strikes me as good value for £20
BOOBOO JR
June 21st, 2011 - 5:13pmHow about for displaying figures, could it work well for that? If it is good for displaying figures, hopefully we’ll get a Idris figure soon.
booboo
June 21st, 2011 - 5:15pmoh yes, it would look great with a Doctor and Idris on display – @Character we need idris now!!!!
BOOBOO JR
June 21st, 2011 - 5:20pmAlright, might try getting one at the weekend. Thanks for your help Booboo!

The Spaceman
June 21st, 2011 - 3:03pmAll of the wave will not be out in June due to a manufacturing problem. Not good :/
Mels
June 19th, 2011 - 7:43amI’m not very familiar with FPI (never ordered from them) but it looks like they might have this in stock? Well, it doesn’t say ‘preorder’ any more at least on their website…
If this is the case, I hope CO stock these this week (along with the Doctor Goo pods to make me happy :D).
The Spaceman
June 19th, 2011 - 10:30amI’m buying this today. I think they might have in stock because it said 19th June.
