River Song with Pandorica Chair – Pictures

2011 San Diego Comic Con Exclusive : River Song with Pandorica Chair

This item is now available to pre order from www.forbiddenplanet.com Price £22.99 Expected 22 August 2011.

Underground Toys is pleased to announce details of their 2011 San Diego Comic Con Exclusive Doctor Who item – River Song and Pandorica Chair from ‘The Pandorica Opens’

THE PANDORICA

Legend has it that the Pandorica is a prison, a cage to contain the most feared warrior in the universe. But it is all a lie – the Pandorica is a box created to contain just one person – the Doctor. When his TARDIS exploded, all parts of time and space were wiped out, never having existed.

The massed armies of all the Doctor’s foes – Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans and others banded together and created the legends of the Pandorica, and then locked him inside it. But the Pandorica energy was a restorative, it could bring things back to life, and the Doctor piloted the Pandorica into the heart of his exploding TARDIS and set off Big Bang 2, rebooting the entire universe

RIVER SONG

Of all the people who have travelled or will travel with the Doctor, River Song is the most enigmatic of them all.

She always seems to be one step ahead of the Doctor, even when he is in her past. Nobody has been able to figure out how River knows the Doctor so well, although there have been plenty of guesses!

Although River is a force to be reckoned with, she sometimes needs the Doctor’s help – whether it’s against the Vashta Nerada or the Weeping Angels, or any of the other foes they have faced, or even will face in future. Confused? It will all become clear… one day…

    Fantastic figure of River Song from the series 5 finale that was The Pandorice Opens/The Big Bang – I would love to get this when it comes out in the UK (didn’t really start collecting Doctor Who figures until Series 5, so I missed out on River Song from Series 4; but this set and the 2 Amelia Pond figures will make a great addition to my huge collection of Series 5 figures – they are the only Series 5 figures I need)

      what figure they should release, that is,

    • booboo

      June 30th, 2011 - 9:21pm

      It says river is the exclusive figure so they could release it with something else, Roman Rory would be the most obvious (and probably the most wanted)

    • RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND

      June 30th, 2011 - 9:26pm

      they should have done rory as the exclusive i think, apparently CO think that rory won’t make that muich money, but if he was an exclusive, he would make double the money!

    • booboo

      June 30th, 2011 - 9:34pm

      In our poll there have been 4,348 votes and Rory is the most wanted figure

    pople are saying that this looks nothing like river, all i got to say is that you carnt get any better than this, the series 4 one did not look anything like river but this you can’t get any more acurate.

      It’s only the hair that most people are moaning about, they’re saying it looks like a wig. This is only a prototype at the moment, so most of the complaints people have made will most likely be sorted.

    • lewis

      June 30th, 2011 - 8:35pm

      yer becose my older brouther is anoyed with the complants about the figure but its only a prototype like you said we will have to wait and see.

      i think both action figures look like river

    • Dalek Sec

      July 1st, 2011 - 9:01am

      I think the Series 4 River figure, looks more like River! Even if this is what the further production figures look like, meh at least we finally have Series 5 River!

    • lewis

      July 1st, 2011 - 9:39am

      i mostly agree with rory doctor river pond, but i think the series 5 figure is much better than series 4, but what evey you guys thats up to you but this is my apinyon is that i like the series 5 one better.

      There are 6 figures available in the Pandorica wave (4 walls, a temporary floor – as we now have the chair – and a ceiling) btw the 6 figures are:

      Doctor with Fez
      Angel Bob
      Cyberman with removable head
      Silurian Warrior
      Roman Auton
      and either Amy Pond (original series five release) or Amy Pond in Police Uniform
