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…

    The head sculpt is a bit weird, although the Pandorica chair is great. I pre-ordered this last week on Forbidden Planet.

      no its fixed, you can start to pull it but you can see the back of the figure is bare

    • Anonymous

      August 2nd, 2011 - 7:48pm

      It probablly won’t be, but not sculpted on so they can remove it themselves and re-relase it later on (and some prototypes of such a figure have leaked).

      ive just had a look and the only one i could find was river song and pandorica chair with all the pandorica wave and it cost about 67 pound???? is it that one?

    • booboo

      August 2nd, 2011 - 1:46pm

      that’s the one but its a variant pandorica wave with mouldings instead of CD’s

    • Radburn

      Booboo if you ordered this from Whona then I want one too! I see they have the Pandorica Chair & River plus the 6 Pandorica figures listed for about $109 – What was the postage cost to the UK?

    • booboo

      August 2nd, 2011 - 4:40pm

      its expensive, i think it was about $40 this may come to the UK yet mind

    • Radburn

      August 2nd, 2011 - 8:41pm

      Booboo -Just contacted Whona who informed me these are only for sale in the US/Canada

      Did you purchase this direct from Whona?
      (If yes, how?)

      Or did you (Ahem?) purchase from their ebay store?

    • booboo

      August 2nd, 2011 - 9:09pm

      I got it direct from who na via their website – i have been told that their maybe and i emphasize maybe a limited amount in the UK at some stage

    • Radburn

      August 3rd, 2011 - 12:18pm

      Then you have been extremely lucky Booboo as Whona cancelled my Order & refunded my money.

      So it look’s like I will have to use a dodgy Seller on ebay instead…

    • booboo

      August 3rd, 2011 - 12:20pm

      I notice they have changed it to US/Canada Only which suggest to me this is coming to the UK at some stage

    The differences :
    1. No jacket.
    2. Un-gloved hands.
    3. Differently painted belt.
    4. No belt with pockets.

      I’m annoyed about these walls, why couldn’t they have released them with the Pandorica wave initially rather than giving us those stupid CDs.

    • booboo

      August 1st, 2011 - 5:18pm

      could have done without having to get this myself but its going to look like the proper pandorica i think

  • Bigwhofan

    July 29th, 2011 - 11:04pm

    Anyone seen the new re-release of the Pandorica Wave? It’s on the US eBay, it’s the same set of figures but the Pandorica walls don’t have a disc – just a pattern-holed circle with a transparent green behind it – it’s a better sculpt of the actual prop in the show.

    I’d rather see the ACTUAL figure myself and plus, there’s a Forbidden Planet about half an hour away from my house. They apparantly had only about 20 jacketless Doctors and dalek scientists…. they’re really good for figures though… I got Amy Pond (well, my brother did, he stole it from my bedroom)about a week before the series 5 figures became immensley popular. but, I got another Amy in The Pandorica Wave. i think all the cds should come with the chair.
