Robert Harrop Tetrap Urak From Time and the Rani
Available to order while stocks last from www.robertharrop.com
Robert Harrop Designs have been creating collectable hand painted figurines for over 30 years and have gained a well earned reputation of high quality and accuracy of detail.
Their extensive portfolio includes Thunderbirds, Camberwick Green, Beano Dandy and 2000AD to name but a few. A portfolio that is extremely nostalgic and very British, so it was no surprise that Doctor Who would be the next project that we wanted to embrace into our studios!
Whilst in flight, the TARDIS is attacked by the Rani, an amoral scientist and renegade Time Lord, and crash-lands on the planet Lakertya. The Doctor and his companion Mel Bush are knocked unconscious and the Doctor regenerates for the sixth time.
The Time and the Rani marked the first adventure for the Seventh Doctor, portrayed by Sylvester McCoy, who would go on to appear in 3 series and 42 episodes as the Time Lord.
- A Limited Edition Handpainted figurine / statue from the Doctor Who Collection.
- Designed and Sculpted in Shropshire, England by Robert Harrop Designs.
- Traditionally Hand Sculpted by Mike Rogers.
- Official BBC License. Each piece is approved by the Doctor Who television production team at BBC Wales in Cardiff. Additionally, the Doctors are approved by the actors themselves.
- Approximately 7 inches (180mm) tall
- A Limited Edition of Only 200 Figurines Worldwide.
- Individually hand numbered with a unique number on the base.
- Comes complete in a presentation box with information card and a Certificate of Authenticity!

August 3rd, 2017 - 12:57pmThe preorder to delivery time on this one was quick, I’ve just got my shipping notice. 🙂

August 3rd, 2017 - 12:59pmthats good, i think if you get your order in quick its not to long
Kevin Bunker
August 4th, 2017 - 4:48pmQuick delivery too, got number 6/200 today, it’s another great looking figurine. 🙂

August 4th, 2017 - 6:27pmI got mine today too, 11/200. Surprised it arrived so fast but I guess it’s to do with the new way they’re doing things at Harrops now. They have said that they want to remove the waiting period we’ve seen previously with releases so I expect we’ll probably see this happen more often now. I much prefer it to be honest; I hated having to wait so long between ordering the item and actually receiving it.

August 5th, 2017 - 6:57amIt is nice to get things quickly, they are still pretty quick compared to other companies though, some can’t take over 18 months to get things to you…, that’s a painful wait. 🙂
booboo
August 5th, 2017 - 7:21amyes i think if you get your orders in straight away you wont wait long, we ordered alpha late and that took 4 weeks but that’s not a long wait really

August 5th, 2017 - 12:44pmReally like how Alpha Centari turned out, think it’s my favourite so far plus it was great timing as she turned up on the current series too, that was great. 🙂

August 11th, 2017 - 7:13pmConsidering these, and the other ones, have a fairly low limited edition run of 200-500, i’m surprised they don’t sell out straight away. Think about all the fans,there must be at least 200-500 waiting for these to be released! Any thoughts?

August 11th, 2017 - 7:37pmyes
initially they released many in one go making them unaffordable to many
on top of that they never found their way to the more traditional Doctor Who outlets like FP but to their stockists of other figurines where the Doctor Who buyer may not look. Classic figure do not have a big USA market either
On top of the The BBC shop shut down which was a good outlet for them
I also dont think the Doctors work well for many in this style
what they have done now is staged smaller quantities but mostly sold in house to maximise profits.Its the best approach although some quantities are a little on the low side now.

August 11th, 2017 - 8:11pmThanks Booboo, good points.

August 2nd, 2017 - 11:18pmAnyone Know when these will be off pre order and be shipping out??
booboo
August 3rd, 2017 - 7:49amthey almost seem to be making to order these days, the last one we ordered took about 4 weeks from pre order to despatch but then we didn’t order it straight away

July 29th, 2017 - 9:44amDon’t forget as the years go by the runs on these figures tends to be lower. They started out doing up to 750 pieces for each figure but now some of the runs are only 200 (Some have been only 150 or even a tiny 100!) Its no surprise they sell out pretty quickly at those low numbers.
booboo
July 29th, 2017 - 10:54amIts finding the right level, if anything its gone to low now.
Kevin Bunker
July 29th, 2017 - 8:45pmThey said they’ll be doing higher numbers with more popular characters, I’m guessing Dalek’s will get a higher production run.
Doctor Mysterio
July 28th, 2017 - 6:35pmLooks amazing. Can’t wait for mine.
Kevin Bunker
July 28th, 2017 - 11:43amPreordered mine, I think they do a great job with the aliens & it’s always nice to see something a bit different from the mainstream obvious characters.

July 28th, 2017 - 1:35pmHave you had a confirmation email? It’s showing on my account but no email yet. I ordered very soon after it went up.
Kevin Bunker
July 28th, 2017 - 1:51pmOnly a Paypal email as that’s what I use to pay with, it’s showing on my Harrop account too though. Assuming the new website has a few issues still to be worked out?
Pip
July 28th, 2017 - 6:12pmYeah I’m guessing it must be the new site too. I haven’t even had a sage email though as it didn’t go through that, seems that they’ve integrated the payment system into the site.

July 28th, 2017 - 11:09amTrouble with this and the Alpha Centauri statues is that Eaglemoss released them around the same time too. For RH, this is probably gonna affect their sales, i doubt these will sell as well considering Eaglemoss’ recent releases.
booboo
July 28th, 2017 - 11:35amDifferent market, The Harrop Alpha Centauri sold out very quickly
Kevin Bunker
July 28th, 2017 - 11:37amAlpha Centauri is sold out so I think it’ll do fine, I prefer this line as the quality is far superior & it’s bigger too so that’s always a bonus.
The Outcast
July 28th, 2017 - 11:00amThis looks awesome! The Tetraps are probably one of the better bits of “Time and Rani” and it’s a wonder they haven’t appeared in other stories. Shame CO didn’t do a figure of them also.
