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…

The official image….

    WOW 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 🙂

      June 21st, 2011 - 9:21pm

      Last 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 - 9:32pm

      Someone 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 - 9:36pm

      yes 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 - 9:44pm

      I 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. 🙂

    the top part of the playset is it removable?

      not really as it holds the back panel together

  • SpiderDalek94

    June 21st, 2011 - 8:20pm

    Booboo 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 🙂

    • SpiderDalek94

      June 21st, 2011 - 8:37pm

      Oh 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 - 8:39pm

      you can put then round the figure (just) to hold them in

    • SpiderDalek94

      June 21st, 2011 - 8:46pm

      ah 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 - 5:21am

    Few 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?

    Reply
    • booboo

      June 21st, 2011 - 5:01pm

      yes 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 - 5:13pm

      How 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 - 5:15pm

      oh yes, it would look great with a Doctor and Idris on display – @Character we need idris now!!!!

    I’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).
