Doctor Who Claws of Axos Figure Set
Available to order while stocks last from www.amazon.co.uk
In this Third Doctor adventure an approaching alien spaceship lands in England and the UNIT team meet its occupants: Beautiful golden-skinned humanoids called Axons. The Axons claim that their ship, Axos, is damaged and that they need time in which to repair it. In return, they offer Axonite, a substance that can cause animals to grow to enormous sizes and thus end Earth’s food shortages.
The Doctor is suspicious, and rightly so: Axos, Axonite and the Axons – whose true form is that of hideous tentacle monsters – are all part of a single parasitic entity brought to Earth by the Master to feed on the planet’s energy.
The Doctor links his and the Master’s TARDIS’s together to make one giant time machine in order to help Axos – but on condition that they assist him in taking revenge on the Time Lords for exiling him to Earth. But, this is merely a trick, and Axos is locked in a time loop from which it can never escape.
Contents:
1 x Brigadier action figure in jersey with U.N.I.T. beret and pistol.
1 x Jo Grant action figure.
1 x Axon in Humanoid form action figure.

March 7th, 2013 - 6:46amNot sure if I want this set. Usually I would really want it, but I litrally just got the 3 doctors set and don’t really want it just for a few diffrences. Also I don’t think the Brigs headsculpt looks as good without the cap on.
Commander Syjikera
March 9th, 2013 - 6:31amhe does have the cap on
Commander Syjikera
March 9th, 2013 - 6:33amjust looked again, yeah he looks better with the cap but he is still a good figure nonetheless i think
Mumble5557 Productions
March 7th, 2013 - 6:45amI am definitely finishing off my ‘Claws of Axos’ collection with this…
Mumble5557 Productions
March 7th, 2013 - 6:48amWell if sets are now going to be this cheap, fingers crossed that we will get a Fendahl & Tom from ‘Image of the Fendahl’
josh smith
March 7th, 2013 - 7:00amno more tom baker figures fendhal and leela
Anonymous
March 7th, 2013 - 7:50amWell not till next year at least unless in 11 doc set revised
josh smith
March 7th, 2013 - 4:43pmwhy would anyone want a 11 doctors set again?
we have all the figures anyway
booboo
March 7th, 2013 - 5:40pmthere are some great variants a lot of people would want
The Silent Silent
March 7th, 2013 - 4:45pmNO WE HAVEN’T!!
josh smith
March 7th, 2013 - 6:25pmbut would you rather have 11 diffrent monsters and villans or 11 diffrent doctors?
Anonymous
March 7th, 2013 - 7:44pmI’d rather have both.
josh smith
March 7th, 2013 - 7:50pmif they cant and only do one
drjakeyoung
March 7th, 2013 - 7:52pmwell it’s been confirmed for latter this year anyway…
josh smith
March 7th, 2013 - 7:53pmwell a waste of money
unless they do a jon in red coat ill buy it separately
Anonymous
March 7th, 2013 - 8:07pmI’d hardly say it was a waste of money, if people are wanting it then they’ll do whatever it takes to make more money.
Josh smith
March 7th, 2013 - 10:43pmWhy get MORE doctor figures when they should be using there money to make in seen figures instead
Commander Syjikera
March 8th, 2013 - 8:20amI think/hope they will be doing a:
Richard Hurndall Dr
Troughton in Fur coat
Pertwee in Red Coat
Tom Baker Serious face without hat from Seeds of Doom
Davison in Cricket Jumper
Colin Baker coatless
McCoy with serious face with hat
Dark Eyes McGann
Coatless Eccelston
Clean End of Time Tennant
Snowmen Smith
booboo
March 8th, 2013 - 9:12amdont think you will get Richard Hurndall, apparently it never got to the tooling stage which is the expensive part.
McGann is the Doctor
March 8th, 2013 - 11:34amMost people do want more Doctor figures to represent the Doctor from different times in his life, and you have to admit they are getting better at making the Doctor figures.
Here’s what I hope they make:
Pertwee in Red jacket from Time Monster
Tom Baker smiling face no hat and the new scarf sculpt from Androids of Tara.
Davison with cricket jumper and no jacket
Colin Baker from Mysterious planet (bigger hair and blue tie with red waistcoat and gre)
McCoy from the Movie
Dark Eyes McGann
Eccleston black jumper
Smith from Closing Time
Commander Syjikera

Radburn
March 7th, 2013 - 2:54amA few years back there was absolutely nothing like this in the Doctor Who market available to buy.
I for one, feel lucky that a company has still decided to actually make these figures from decades ago.
With the announcement of the change in scale I was happy they decided to keep the Classic as a 5″ range.
Many times before, it has been said that the option is something or nothing – I would rather have the ‘something’ to choose from.
josh smith
March 7th, 2013 - 6:31amno id rather have nothing as then another comapny would take over like we saw with dapol and product enterprise
Luke
March 7th, 2013 - 7:15amRadburn is right, we’re lucky to have the choice of figures.
If Character didn’t make them then we’d probably have no figures. Dapol and Product Enterprise mainly made Daleks which we already have plenty of. Plus the Daleks were just repaints, very cheap to make really.
If another company took over we’d probably have no classics, if we did they’d be 3.75″ as that seems the standard which means collecting all over again.
Looks a great set anyway, we’ll be getting it! 🙂
Radburn
March 7th, 2013 - 7:21amYou mean the Dapol & Product Enterprise Companies that no longer exist – Emmm – Nothing?
josh smith
March 7th, 2013 - 4:44pmno i mean prouct enterprise took over form dapol and underground toys took over from prduct enterprice
Chooky
March 7th, 2013 - 2:10amThis is a sort of “eh” set. I want it for the new (better) Joe, but then again I already have one and the Brig already. Plus I think the Axon humanoid shouldn’t have bicep and thigh joints, it looks to weird. If I didn’t already have the Three Doctor’s set I would pick this up.
Dalek The Supreme
March 6th, 2013 - 10:58pmThe figures look good, but I’ll pass, I have no interest in the humanoid Axon, and I like the figures in The Three Doctors set better.
David Edinburgh
March 6th, 2013 - 10:23pmJuly? They are very slow… and so far not much of a celebration for the 50th anniversary on the figures side… 🙁
Esterath
March 6th, 2013 - 8:58pmJo’s outfit is incorrect. Tut tut.
josh smith
March 6th, 2013 - 9:00pmnot really its very accruate oh do u mean the pattern?
booboo
March 6th, 2013 - 9:02pmdifficult to reproduce on a figure, they said the same about Rory’s shirt
Lior Knight
March 6th, 2013 - 9:44pmNot difficult as other toy lines have done those kind of paintjobs in 5″-6″ scale. However its most likely not very cost effective for them.
Doctor Who Crazy Ross
March 6th, 2013 - 7:59pmOkay. My opinion has changed. I LOVE THIS SET!!!
josh smith
March 6th, 2013 - 8:09pmwhat changed your mind? 🙂
Doctor Who Crazy Ross
March 6th, 2013 - 8:33pmI think what putt me off this set was the darkness in the Axon’s joints. But that is just the shadow and it will look a lot better in hand. Plus I love the detail on Jo and the Brig.
josh smith
March 6th, 2013 - 8:57pmyes i think the joins are bad aswell
auton101
March 6th, 2013 - 10:22pmi agree the axon looks like he has huge muscles. theyve done too many pertwee era sets and we need some 60s, thats why i wont be getting this.
andrew
March 6th, 2013 - 10:38pmIm fine with pertwee era, lol
josh smith
March 7th, 2013 - 6:25amwe dont even have a pelidon set what you mean is theve done too many tom baker sets and 60s is not very good 6th and 7th doctor needs more
auton101
March 7th, 2013 - 3:50pmpertwee is my favourite doctor, but i think theyre bringing out too many of his sets.
josh smith
March 7th, 2013 - 4:45pmno we dont have any good sets with him that arnt rip offs 45 pound for 3 figuers who is gona buy that!
auton101
March 8th, 2013 - 1:33pmthats why they have reduced the price by a considerable amount for classic 3 packs. i think enemies of the 3rd doctor set was £40 because of the drashig. dont see why it hadd to be 40 quid though
Doctor Who Crazy Ross
March 9th, 2013 - 3:48pmI would like to see an Enemies of the 2nd Doctor set with the Yeti, Tomb Cyberman and Emperor Dalek.
i love karen gillan
March 6th, 2013 - 7:42pmi love this amazing i want it now
auton101
March 6th, 2013 - 7:23pmnot sure about this set, i want a better monster to come out. im gunna wait for some other sets because im not that bothered about the axon humanoid.
auton101
March 6th, 2013 - 7:50pmplus it comes out in july, its not worth the wait.
josh smith
March 6th, 2013 - 8:58pmim going to comic con on saturday and sunday
The Flying Shark
March 6th, 2013 - 7:21pmWow, this set looks absolutely amazing!
Dalek Smith
March 6th, 2013 - 7:02pmJust pre-ordered this can’t wait until the 31st of July
Ryan
March 6th, 2013 - 6:46pmI ADORE this set! I love the variant Brig, he and Jo look much better than the previous versions, but, I can’t help but slightly prefer the Three Doctors set, but, the Axon Man looks okay… I hope there’s at least one more Jo/Brig variant set! I adore these! And, the Pyaramids Earth set on the cards too! YAY!
IloveMYclassicseries
March 6th, 2013 - 8:04pmpyramids of mars set?
auton101
March 9th, 2013 - 11:51amno he means pyramids of mars earth set. weve had the mars set now we need the earth set.
charliec3po
March 6th, 2013 - 6:41pmlove the look of this one really am likeing that jo figure looks really good
Some bloke
March 6th, 2013 - 6:31pmI told you all HAHAHA
dr doak
March 6th, 2013 - 6:27pmNot what i really wanted
Joe
March 6th, 2013 - 6:24pmI like the look of the set I’m glad we need another Jo (I think the next variant should be from day of the daleks and they seem to realese 3 variants of female companions) the brig looks good ( I would like to see a variant from the daemons) and I think the Axos looks accurate and we finally have both variants
I like this set looks good I will get this
Lets hope they make more brilliant sets for the shows 50th
josh smith
March 6th, 2013 - 7:46pmi hopee its form cure of pelidon in her dress as it would be more diffrent than day and
jo and the docter in red coat with ice lord and alpha century
MJanus
March 6th, 2013 - 6:10pmWhy are people saying these are accurate while the Brig is admittedly rather good the figure of Jo is nothing like and the Axons articulation make it simply ridiculous – at least as anything other than a toy…. And I thought these were being marketed as items for serious collectors… not the kiddies play room. Im wondering if they simply remodelled heads from Host robots. They really ought to focus on the robotic monsters and figures where the articulation doesnt look so ridiculous…
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
March 6th, 2013 - 6:03pmit looks good but they just did jo and brig!
who dat 1154
March 6th, 2013 - 5:45pm/\/\/\/\
agreed
eddy
March 6th, 2013 - 5:45pm?
Tardis’nt
March 6th, 2013 - 5:44pmi prefer this jo to the last one, never liked the look of the humanoid axons though, but it is accurate. the brig needs a variant where he has hair!
josh smith
March 6th, 2013 - 5:49pmyes but the grey one will have hair
thedaleksdeath
March 6th, 2013 - 7:00pmWhat do you mean by grey one?
josh smith
March 6th, 2013 - 7:45pmthe brigs out fit in ambasidors of death and inferno and the silurions
i hope it comes without his gun and with his batton thing
thedaleksdeath
March 7th, 2013 - 5:51pmAhhh I see thanks Josh Smith
josh smith
March 7th, 2013 - 6:25pmmy pleasure 🙂
thedaleksdeath
March 7th, 2013 - 8:03pm😀
josh smith
March 6th, 2013 - 5:41pmthe skirts too low down
dalek eternal
March 6th, 2013 - 5:40pmi wouldnt really say only one of the figures is brand new t me their all sort of new i know some parts are reused but mot of the brigadier and jo figure look like new sculpts like their jackets and faces
eddy
March 6th, 2013 - 5:33pmat last we have an amazing axon figure, would like a whole army of them, it is a shame that it is Joe and the brigadier, should of been different monsters.
are there any other box sets coming out soon ?
booboo
March 6th, 2013 - 5:36pmthese sets seem to be exclusive to FP.co.uk so may be .com have pulled out so they need to build orders before release.
may be its reducing costs, these sets are far better value than those released in 2011/2012
eddy
March 6th, 2013 - 5:37pmthanks booboo, but i thought people said there was a set from the 2nd doctor.
dalek eternal
March 6th, 2013 - 5:32pmi cant wait to buy this i love the brigadier and joe figures the axn is brilliant too and the set is at a cheap affordable price which is brilliant wish it was out sooner i think jo looks better in this set in the three drs set but the brig in the 3 drs set is definately better detailed but this is something i dont want to miss with this being the 50th year of doctor who i hope we get some other exclusives asap to
trenzalore
March 6th, 2013 - 5:24pmi realy like the deatail on jo’s clothing
andrew
March 6th, 2013 - 5:27pmSame
MJanus
March 6th, 2013 - 5:27pmIts nothing like the outfit she wore in Axos !!!!!
gary
March 6th, 2013 - 5:29pmI really like the new face sculpt – the soloumn look is good!
andrew
March 6th, 2013 - 5:58pmI can see what you mean by the outfit^! but 1 its only a prototype, 2 that pattern on this scale, i think would be very hard to paint on.
josh smith
March 6th, 2013 - 5:24pmi hope we get a zoe
zoe form the krotons with a kroton
zoe form the mind robber in here glittery cat suit with medussa
and zoe form the wheel in space with a wehell in space cyberman
DarkkinghtDalek
March 6th, 2013 - 5:18pmREAllY?
come on we only had the same 2 figures 2 mouths ago and the axon looks bad.
josh smith
March 6th, 2013 - 5:20pmwhy not ? every other companion has 3 releses?
i hopw the next one is
mel form terror of the vervoids with a vervoid and the valyard
mel form the ultimate foe with glitz and the master
then mell form delta and the banermen with the banermen leader and a bannerman with the flagon his back
space1999
March 6th, 2013 - 5:41pmwhat about susan ian and barbra in a compain set
josh smith
March 6th, 2013 - 5:43pmthat would mean 3 sets with them in it and would not sell well
Fezmeister
March 6th, 2013 - 6:02pmDespite never having bought a Classic series figure, I’d definitely go for a set with Susan, Ian and Barbara. Sarah Jane, too. That’d be very fitting for this year.
josh smith
March 6th, 2013 - 7:41pmand wat about mel? or zoe or viki arnt they good enough and the first male comapoion sohould be ben
Androvax
March 6th, 2013 - 5:18pmGreat set, I love the Axon Figure!
