RubberToe Replicas The Tardis Siege Mode Cube
Available to order from www.rubbertoereplicas.com
The Tardis in ‘siege mode’ been one of our favourite prop makes of the recent series of Doctor Who.
The Tardis has shrunk and is in trouble; it’s just about to flattened by a train! The Doctor pulls an emergency lever to transform the Tardis into its rawest form, no way in, no way out.
It’s a beautiful prop to look at, and fits in so well with the Rubbertoe range that when we had the design we knew it was meant to be! We hope you enjoy owning it as much we enjoyed making it.
As with all Rubbertoe Replicas, the Tardis Cube is made using the same techniques and materials as the original prop. To see a detailed account of how we made the original, with step by step pictures of the prop’s construction, click on the link on our home page.
The cube comes packed in its own Doctor Who themed gift box.

October 21st, 2014 - 8:34pmAre these limited edition and are there any other facts I can use to persuade my dad to get one? 🙂
booboo
October 21st, 2014 - 8:37pmdont think so, but i suppose they could stop selling them at any time they choose, that’s good enough reason i suppose, unlike like toys they are not massed produced
Warrior Doctor
October 21st, 2014 - 8:53pmThanks for the info! Also what what are the dimensions?
whonose1963
October 21st, 2014 - 2:29pmThis looks such good quality, especially the blue tint of the resin, I don’t think I can resist it! Now then, where to get £50?
Bentox
October 22nd, 2014 - 11:40amThe resin has aluminum powder in it so it looks like metal (and will tarnish as such, which I think is very cool). The blue is actually paint.

October 21st, 2014 - 1:20pmJust bought mine, to hard to resist and easier to justify buying price wise than the Vortex Manipulator. But might kid myself into that if they still have any around Christmas/new Year time.
the astronaut of death
October 20th, 2014 - 7:32pmbooboo do you know how much the 11th doctor sonic screwdriver rubber toe replica costs?
booboo
October 20th, 2014 - 7:34pm£659.95
the astronaut of death
October 20th, 2014 - 7:55pmyowser!
ScottDiavolo
October 20th, 2014 - 8:08pmAdd about £150 more onto the total if your wanting sound too,
VespiformsSting
October 22nd, 2014 - 1:22pmThats a good chunk of money towards a This Planet Earth dalek or police box…..
ScottDiavolo
October 22nd, 2014 - 3:17pmYeah thats true, Plus I’d go for a Tardis if I had the money or space. Need at least a 11 ft ceiling to fit it in a house.
Got to admit I always thought the replica Star Wars Lightsabre hilts cost to much, But I think a Sonic must have more machine work to do, so I can understand the cost for any company making props.
GallifreyanKnight
October 20th, 2014 - 7:30pmYou know, I’d love to see a replica of the uncamouflaged mode of the TARDIS, as seen in the beginning and end of “The Name Of The Doctor”.
But this replica of the TARDIS in “siege mode” looks amazing. 🙂
whonose1963
October 21st, 2014 - 12:44pmI doubt RubberToe would make that as they usually do in scale versions of small items. Still a great idea for a feature in a figure set from Character or Underground Toys. Maybe with the first doctor and Susan!!!
GallifreyanKnight
October 21st, 2014 - 4:16pmProblem is, if Character did it, they’d do it in their inferior 3.75″ scale range, instead of the surperior 5″ scale range from a few years back.
I someone does do it eventually though. 🙂
Sam Richard Bentley
October 20th, 2014 - 5:49pmNew Who loves a good box, especially one important to the story.
The Moment?
The Pandorica?
The Gallifreyan Cube from The Doctor’s Wife?
Maria Jackson’s box from SJA?
The Siege Mode TARDIS?
Anything I’m missing? I’m sure that’s not them all…
Sam Richard Bentley
October 20th, 2014 - 5:50pmWait – The Black Cubes from The Power of Three.

October 20th, 2014 - 5:59pmThe box in the museum that river uses to send the Doctor a message
whonose1963
October 21st, 2014 - 2:36pmThe present in The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe that takes them all to the forest and the stasis cube in Day of the Doctor. You’re right, they love a good cube!

rycbar123

the astronaut of death
October 20th, 2014 - 4:17pmbooboo are rubbertoe replicas relible to ordwe from
and are there any other sites that sell these replicas?
booboo
October 20th, 2014 - 4:20pm100%
they sell some of their items via FP but mostly start off by selling direct themselves themselves
CB Doctor
October 20th, 2014 - 4:12pmlooks amazing!
the astronaut of death
October 20th, 2014 - 4:11pmdo you have any rubberoes replicas booboo?
booboo
October 20th, 2014 - 4:12pmsome coasters, its quality stuff
might get one of these
the astronaut of death
October 20th, 2014 - 3:44pmthis looks great
VespiformsSting
October 20th, 2014 - 1:52pmDo this company ever make classic items….
booboo
October 20th, 2014 - 1:57pmthey are a prop maker for the “new” series and market items that they have actually made for the show (or items based on their designs )
they are fairly unique really
they may not have a licence to make *classic” items or indeed items they did not design
Harold Saxon
October 20th, 2014 - 12:36pmBeautiful and unique,would be worth owning at that price.
VespiformsSting
October 20th, 2014 - 1:49pmUnique ?? Is it limited edition ??
Skovox Blizter
October 20th, 2014 - 10:14amNice
daff69
October 20th, 2014 - 10:01amIts a beautiful item and I like it I really do! but since its only plastic I think £55 is a bit steep.
anonymous
October 20th, 2014 - 10:21amIt’s made from aluminium and it is £49.95
booboo
October 20th, 2014 - 10:24amalso made in the UK by the prop makers
not China imports like virtually everything else
people expect far to much sometimes
Bentox
October 20th, 2014 - 11:33amWell, technically, it’s resin with aluminum powder in it. Still though, definitely not plastic 🙂 . And yes, then you factor in that it’s made by the people who made the original prop, using the same materials and finishing process… it seems like a very reasonable price to me.
Anonymous
October 20th, 2014 - 3:41pmI’d say it’s definitely worth it for £55 I’ve got their black cube from the power of three and it’s fantastic
drjakeyoung
October 20th, 2014 - 5:05pmFor being made in Briton i think £50 is a very good price!
Tommyd987
October 20th, 2014 - 8:11amAmazing! And £50! That’s amazing considering other prices of Replicas and the quality of that product, defiently ordering this today 😀
DOCTOR WHO ONE
October 20th, 2014 - 7:14amThis reminds me of that Pandorica toy with the CD’s that you collected with some series 5 figures where the CD’s looked like one side of the Pandorica.
MrHaloWho
October 20th, 2014 - 6:50amWhy fill it uf with powder?
T4RD1S
October 20th, 2014 - 3:34amAwesome idea!
Blue box
October 20th, 2014 - 2:30amWhen I saw it in the episode I new it would be made as a prop
Trenzalore
October 19th, 2014 - 10:55pmI really like this, they could actually do quite a lot with this other than a replica, they could make the series 8 special edition box like this with all the circular symbols the DVD’s. Or they could do like what they did with the Pandorica and make a build-a-figure wave for the 3.75″ figures.
But anyway this looks really nice and would hope to get one maybe for Christmas.
VespiformsSting
October 19th, 2014 - 10:40pmI do wonder if they’ve forgotten the TARDIS is indestructible…..
Bentox
October 19th, 2014 - 11:34pmFrom a Doctor Who Wiki:
Is the TARDIS indestructible? No. “We’ve seen her damaged in, for example, “The End of Time” Part 2. We’ve also seen her blown up in “The Pandorica Opens”, although she was restored in “The Big Bang”. The destruction of the TARDIS also appeared to be a very real possibility in “Journey’s End”. And “the Doctor’s Wife” is all about the destruction of TARDISes by House, and we see many destroyed/disassembled TARDISes.”
Sebatron
October 20th, 2014 - 3:12amAnd also the shields were failing, if not have already
VespiformsSting
October 20th, 2014 - 1:46pmSorry its the new series TARDIS
VespiformsSting
October 20th, 2014 - 1:47pmAh I was forgetting one rule for the classic series one rule for the new series…..
Bentox
October 20th, 2014 - 2:22pmThe Doctor seemed pretty concerned about the Cybermen destroying the TARDIS with a bomb in The Five Doctors.
booboo
October 20th, 2014 - 3:13pmI’m sure i recall a classic episode where the Doctor Clearly states the Tardis was indestructible, i think it fell down a cliff or something, if only i could remember, 3rd of 4th Doctor i think
The Daleks’ Advocate
October 20th, 2014 - 3:29pmIn “Frontios”, the Tardis is not exactly destroyed but still sort of… mangled and its bits embedded in rock. So not indestructible, nope. And definitely not an invincible protection to someone who’d have stayed inside.
Theta Sigma
October 20th, 2014 - 3:31pmit was the 3rd doctor booboo it fell of a mountain on Peladon.
booboo
October 20th, 2014 - 3:40pmyes just watched it funnily enough
3rd doctor clearly states Tardis is indestructible, which obviously changed depending on which writer write what and when
doctor what
October 20th, 2014 - 3:39pmIt seems to be very close to indestructible when the shields are up.
The Doctor Wolf
October 20th, 2014 - 3:54pmI like to think that The TARDIS started extremly robust, to the point of near-indestructability, but nearly two thousand years of use and conflict have worn her out, so she’s now more vunerable (without shields)
Plus, ‘Temporal Grace’ was a ‘clever lie’, so maybe TOTAL indestructability is too?
VespiformsSting
October 21st, 2014 - 4:44pmCurse of Peladon Booboo…..In Frontios the TARDIS isn’t destroyed …it splits itself into components which the Doctor tricks the Gravis into ‘fusing ‘ back together with his ‘animal magnetism’. Presumably the TARDIS was threatened enough by the impact of a gravitationally, Tractator controlled asteroid/meteor to do this. Curiously theres a TV Comic story where the TARDIS is hit by the racing car…the Doctor states the TARDIS is indestructible and builds a new racing car from the material the TARDIS is made of….ah good old TV Comic…..
VespiformsSting
October 21st, 2014 - 4:46pmBentox it’s Turlough- not the Doctor – who is worried by the Cyberman bomb in Five Doctors by the way…he and Susan are inside the TARDIS when the cybermen rig their ‘big’ bomb outside….
Doctor Stu
October 19th, 2014 - 10:31pmLooks amazing but Is it just me that thinks its extremely familiar
The five doctors
October 19th, 2014 - 10:34pmI think it looks similar to the cube Maria Jackson had in The Sarah Jane Adventures
Trenzalore
October 19th, 2014 - 10:43pmOr the Pandorica.
The five doctors
October 19th, 2014 - 10:51pmMaybe
Pete Cald
October 20th, 2014 - 9:51amOr outside the Whoniverse, it looks very like the puzzle box thingy from Hellraiser that calls forth the Cenobites monsters of which Pinhead was a member/leader. Which could spark some horrific fanfic of the Cenobites being the alternative/dark Universe’s version of the Time Lords, seeing as how they were outside of time and could seriosly distort dimensions and space when summoned! Freaky deaky, scary warey, what if fanfic! 🙂
Bentox
October 19th, 2014 - 10:30pmOrdered! Now, the wait. I think it’s an amazing item… a 1:1 scale prop of a new and amazingly designed version of the Doctor’s TARDIS that will fit in my hand.
Pete da Cald
October 19th, 2014 - 10:18pmVery cool, think I must have one of these!
Question tho: if I fiddle with the designs and solve the puzzle, will chains and hooks fly out and Chronobytes come out if the walls to get me? 🙂
Some bloke
October 19th, 2014 - 10:04pmGETTING IT!!
Warrior Doctor
October 19th, 2014 - 9:56pm£50!
booboo
October 19th, 2014 - 9:58pmquality comes at a price these are not toys
VespiformsSting
October 19th, 2014 - 9:58pmSeems cheap for an accurate item to me……
TheWarDoctor
October 19th, 2014 - 9:59pmSeems cheap to me compared to the vortex manipulator.. but my father dont agree :/
VespiformsSting
October 19th, 2014 - 9:43pmNow if they could only make the Key to Time complete in six segments with the core to that degree of accuracy…..
Sam Richard Bentley
October 19th, 2014 - 9:50pmI don’t know why they haven’t already! It would sell by the tonnes – like hot cakes, if you will.
TheWarDoctor
October 19th, 2014 - 9:53pmGetting this for my Birthday defo! And we need key to time im gonna tweet them now
VespiformsSting
