Pyramids of Mars Priory Set
In this Fourth Doctor adventure, the TARDIS materialises on Earth in the year 1911 inside an old priory owned by Egyptologist Marcus Scarman. Scarman has been possessed by Sutekh, last survivor of the god-like Osirans, who is being held prisoner inside a pyramid in Egypt by a signal transmitted from a pyramid on Mars.
Sutekh wants to be free and instructs Scarman to use robots, which look like Egyptian mummies, to build a pyramid-shaped rocket with which to destroy the Martian pyramid. The Doctor blows up the missile but falls under Sutekh’s control and is made to transport Scarman to Mars to cut off the signal controlling the prison. The Doctor, freed of Sutekh’s influence, rushes back to Earth and uses the time control from the TARDIS to move the end of the space-time tunnel that Sutekh is travelling down into the far future where, unable to reach the end, Sutekh ages to death.
Exclusive to Forbidden Planet!
This collector’s set includes
- Sutekh (in Helmet with light-up eyes)

May 24th, 2013 - 4:58pmwhere can I get a the buffy library play set and how much?
DOCTOR WHO ONE
May 25th, 2013 - 4:02pmCurrently unavailable on Amazon.
Ebay seemed to have a used one sold a couple of years back on 12th July 2011, sold for £29.00.
Sorry I couldn’t be on any help to you.
Sure does look great use as a display piece for displaying action figures 🙂
McGann is the Doctor
May 28th, 2013 - 10:53amI know ! I really want it for my 8th Doctor ! 🙁
Anonymous
May 29th, 2013 - 3:03amyou could make one for yourself with the action figure thearter sets
the ergon
May 24th, 2013 - 9:49amThey could round off the pyramids collections with the servant of sutekh (minus smoking feet) and a sarah jane figure to start some other sets rolling. Also a Daemons set 2 featuring azal and the reverend magister. Shouldn,t be too costly since they already have the delgado head sculpt. they would only need to make minor changes.
Anonymous
May 29th, 2013 - 3:05amthey just made a magister set with the brigadire and the gargoyle
T he ergon
June 26th, 2013 - 11:51pmI mean the reverend magister in vicars outfit with glasses, although they could have bok crosslegged with glowing eyes and azal.
RastonEd
May 23rd, 2013 - 8:41pmEven if I get this, ill still be missing one canonic jar cos I missed the mummy from classic wave 2, which is a bit annoying and I don’t want another mummy.
McGann is the Doctor
May 28th, 2013 - 10:54amnothing wrong with having yet another
Joe
May 23rd, 2013 - 8:30pmHow big is the rocket in the set is it about the size of 5 inch figures or smaller?
Luke
May 24th, 2013 - 4:40pmThe rocket is in scale for the 5″ figures. Like shown in the picture the figures can go inside
josh smith
May 23rd, 2013 - 4:38pmwhy is it soo expensive.
the other 3 fugre sets are £10 cheeper and these are not even new schukps!?
booboo
May 23rd, 2013 - 5:01pmYou have 3 practically brand new items, one of them has electronics in it for the light up eyes and a large diorama, sometimes i dont know what you people expect
Scott
May 23rd, 2013 - 7:35pmI thought this was a pretty good set, I prefer it over the last pyramids of mars set
josh smith
May 26th, 2013 - 9:22pmif they didnt have the rocket how much do you rekon it will cost?
Anonymous
June 9th, 2013 - 8:55pmThe rocket isnt the costly thing…as booboo said there are basicly 3 new sculpted figures and they will proberly never be released again rendering costs higher than usual
josh smith
June 22nd, 2013 - 8:53amno the sutek isnt a new sculpt
and the scarms legs are the same as the robomans
McGann is the Doctor
May 23rd, 2013 - 1:10pmWow, it looks like there’s enough room for Sutekh to go inside that rocket
Chooky
May 22nd, 2013 - 4:02amWill defiantly be getting this set. Of course i buy the Mars Set the day before this one was announced. Huh. Either way this still is awesome.
Andrew
May 21st, 2013 - 9:48pmbooboo, or anyone, do you know if the rocket is takeapartable? What I mean is, can you collapse it after you have put it together, or is that it?
booboo
May 21st, 2013 - 9:48pmno idea sorry
Andrew
May 21st, 2013 - 9:50pmIt appears to tab together, so I assume you can pop them out unless they either the irriversable ones / have to be cellotaped to secure.
Joe
May 21st, 2013 - 9:13pmDo you think we will we any more figures from this story?
Future ideas
1 Daleks master plan set with supreme dalek, mavic chan and Sara kingdom

3 Five drs set with Dalek, Master, cyber leader, Raston robot and hurnell first doctor
4 Two doctors set with sontarans, second and sixth drs, Jamie, peri

Radburn

run you clever boy
May 21st, 2013 - 4:41pmtthe doctor and the 1st mummy lookgreat
Andrew
May 21st, 2013 - 4:38pmLooks great, glad I skipped the first one, I prefer him with his mask on, and that sarcophagus looks awesome with the lenticular picture, needless to say what figures going in front of that with a hands to head in pain expression lol.
Dalek The Supreme
May 21st, 2013 - 4:32pmLooks amazing! Definately want this one!
josh smith
May 21st, 2013 - 4:19pmcant afford this 🙁
Joethewhovian
May 21st, 2013 - 3:58pmWhat price?
booboo
May 21st, 2013 - 3:59pmUSA price suggests £39.99
Dalek The Supreme
May 21st, 2013 - 4:32pmWhat’s the price in USA?
Joethewhovian
May 21st, 2013 - 8:25pmThats a great price! If time warrior and sontaran experiment sets are £35 ( 2 figures and deluxe vehicle) then scarman and sutekh( light up eyes remember) and rocket is £35, and then you get 2 force field generator thingymabobs, 2 different canopic jars, coordinate selector and sarcophagus (damn you ancient egyptians with your mad words that are really hard to spell! ) with vortex insert for a fiver!
DOCTOR WHO ONE
May 21st, 2013 - 3:53pmOh I am so getting this now. This set looks fantastic, and I’m very glad that there is no 4th Doctor included.
I think one of the things many fan’s have been fed up with is sets always including a Doctor figure. I know that there are variations when it comes to classic and new series Doctor figures, but surely having all the Doctor’s from the old 11 Doctors gift set is enough and just get the enemies themselves as separate releases such as this awesome set.
Dalek The Supreme
May 21st, 2013 - 10:04pmI only get more than one of the same Doctor if the set has something desirable enough to make me want it.
josh smith
June 9th, 2013 - 6:21pmbut i really want a cream jacket mcoy figure and a city of death tom baker figure and a purple coat pertwee figure and a davison figure with a hat.
Fezmeister
May 18th, 2013 - 10:48amI’ll be buying this for sure. I recently ordered the previous Pyramids of Mars figures, so I’m glad I was able to hunt them all down in preparation for this.
JaffaCakes
May 13th, 2013 - 5:31pmOoh, this looks good, doesn’t it – I always thought it was a bit of an odd choice to release the Osirian form Sutekh rather than the altogether more popular one – but now we’ve got him with light-up eyes too! Cheers for that, all involved!
Scott the Raptor
May 12th, 2013 - 11:39amThe sarcophagus can open? Lord am I excited now!!!
Ryan
May 12th, 2013 - 11:08amI’m in heaven… I just want this to be released NOW!
Harold Saxon

May 9th, 2013 - 1:15amHow about a Mindwarp set with Green Sil, Fish Body Kiv and Yrcanos?
Dalek The Supreme
May 9th, 2013 - 1:59pmThey also should make:

dalek galt
May 12th, 2013 - 5:53pmenmeys of the 2nd dr set with Cyberman(Wheel in Space), kroton and quark
THE ERGON
May 7th, 2013 - 10:13amThis is the one i,ve been waiting for. Just what the doctor ordered, or should i say what i,ll be ordering. The sutekh with the glowing eyes alone is worth it. Never thought they,d do a marcus scarman. Totally unexpected. Keep up the good work.
Joe
May 6th, 2013 - 5:10pmDo you think we will see any other figures from this story (other than shrah Jane) and what will the next realese be

Time and the rani; dr (in 6th dr costume), mels, rani, teltraps
Remembrance of the daleks: ace (with bat and nitro 9) and destroyed renegade dalek
McGann is the Doctor
May 14th, 2013 - 3:54pmYou can’t have a character set AND an enemy set, because they are ALL characters.
Better to have the enemies and the other characters together.
Sixth Doctor with blue bow Peri or Glitz and MASSIVE robot
Sixth Doctor and Valeyard and Lord Kiv from Mysterious planet
Sixth Doctor sans coat and with blaster, and two Vervoids.
Anonymous
May 6th, 2013 - 12:28pmI relly think this set looks great and i think its interesting how they are releasing Marcas Scarman as a figure. I think I might just get this one because Sutek has actualy got his mask on and it looks BAD-ASS!
The Driver
May 5th, 2013 - 10:10amIs this set exclusive to somewhere?
booboo
May 5th, 2013 - 10:11amprobably FP, unless something has changed
Tardis’nt
May 5th, 2013 - 10:29amA little model shop near me seems to be getting loads of FP exclusives in, but I don’t know how
booboo
May 5th, 2013 - 10:31amsome of the sets have been sold out to other retailers, Scificollector and the BBC shop has them amongst others
Tardis’nt
May 5th, 2013 - 12:31pmThanks for replying 🙂
HarryReeves2000
May 5th, 2013 - 9:13amHow will they fit the rocket thing in that small box???
The Driver
May 5th, 2013 - 10:09amIt’s cardboard, so you probably have to make it.
itdalek
May 10th, 2013 - 5:48pmO the fun of making cardboard sets (or any sets done by CO) with hours of swearing and thinking why could it not be ready built!
Andrew
May 4th, 2013 - 4:23pmDo we have any idea of the price?
Andrew
May 4th, 2013 - 4:24pmIs the rocket going to be something, that once you have build it thats it, or will be collapsable / break apartable? For collectors, im sure they would either want this feature, or would have to resist building it.
booboo
May 4th, 2013 - 5:09pmnone yet
Tardis’nt
May 4th, 2013 - 12:14pmonly problem with this kind of box is that you cannot check for QC
Nicholas
May 7th, 2013 - 8:34pmThey’re only doing it for this set because of the cardboard thingy
Carne
May 4th, 2013 - 10:44amFor whice figure line is this box
The 5 inch figures?
Or the new 3,7 figures?
booboo
May 4th, 2013 - 10:45amno (the classics) line is 5″ and i’m sure will stay that way
