4th Doctor Time Capsule DVD Book & Figure Set
Available to order for £29.99 while stocks last from www.zavvi.com
The Fourth Doctor Time Capsule is an individually numbered deluxe box-set, containing exclusive content and memorabilia from Tom Baker’s era on Doctor Who, including a newly-commissioned interview with the man himself – An Interview with the Time Lord.
With a limited run of 5000 units, the Time Capsule also includes:
- An exclusive post-regenerative Fourth Doctor action figure, wearing Jon Pertwee’s trademark frill-fronted shirt
- A Fourth Doctor sonic screwdriver.
- An audio version of classic Tom Baker story Genesis of the Daleks.
- Novel Tomb of Valdemar by Simon Messingham, set during the Doctor’s search for the Key to Time.
- Art cards of all the Fourth Doctor’s companions.
- And a letter from Tom Baker himself
Alongside the interview package, the set contains an advance vanilla release of the restored Terror of the Zygons, set to be released in full later this year. Telling the tale of shape-shifting aliens attempting to colonize the Earth, Terror of the Zygons introduces the titular monsters, who are set to return in the 50th anniversary special.
From witnessing the genesis of the Daleks to preventing the death of the universe at Logopolis, the Fourth Doctor was an adventurer on an epic scale. Armed with a gleeful smile, swashbuckling charm and righteous morality, he defeated Sontarans, ancient vampires and the Black Guardian.
It was this incarnation of the Doctor that found and reassembled the Key to Time, that tried to reason with Davros at the birth of the Daleks, and was invested as Lord President of the High Council of Time Lords. Always selfless, his fourth body died saving the universe from the Master. But that moment had been prepared for…

July 9th, 2013 - 2:39pmSorry if this has already been answered but accessing the web from my phone and having problemsloading the content.
Is the figure by CO and in the 5 insh scale? Does it have its own packing or come loose inthe set…and, in your opinion what’s the chances of this figre or a slight variatuion of it being released seperately. Nonw of the other stuff interests me besides the Zygons DVD but that wil be reeased properly later so the only selling point is the figure…for 62 squid…they know what they’re doing! Annoying!
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 2:42pmyes it is by CO and 5″, dont know about the packaging.
I would guess this figure will remain exclusive, at least for a long times, this is a high profile release and many will buy it for the figure alone
Andrew
July 9th, 2013 - 2:34pmGreat figure idea, they should do it with others, it would be nice though if we did get more regeneration sets, now we have that mold, they can put Pertwees head back on. Is that a new head entirely or just hair?
The Greater Intelligence
July 9th, 2013 - 1:56pmAre these going to be sold in America?
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 1:57pmseem like only Europe at the moment
TheMysteryLiker
July 9th, 2013 - 1:52pmWill they do these for the other Doctors?
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 1:54pmNo idea
Obviously they have an advantage with terror of the Zygons which they dont have for any other Doctor
Anonymous
July 9th, 2013 - 6:54pmUnless they animated some missing ones or put colour into a Pertwee… But that would take time
Some bloke
July 10th, 2013 - 10:20amwhat do you mean, put colour into a pertwee. as of august, we’ll have all of pertwees episodes released
Some bloke
July 10th, 2013 - 10:21amall of which have been restored in colour

Trenzalore
July 9th, 2013 - 1:24pmGETTING!!! 😀 The figure looks brilliant but i have a few questions about it:
1) What is the book with the cogs on the cover?
2) Is the figure of the 4th doctor in 3rd doctor clothes?
3) What are the other DVD’s? (there are 3 covers)
4) What is that scroll of paper that looks old?
5) Will i be able to order on BBC shop?
Fezmeister
July 9th, 2013 - 1:28pmAll of that is answered in the article.
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 1:30pmprobably…
1/ Novel Tomb of Valdemar
2/ yes its a regeneration figure
3/ none, the others are an interview and audio cd (genesis)
4/a letter form Tom baker
5/ you can order it right no on the link above
Trenzalore
July 9th, 2013 - 1:35pmThanks alot booboo 🙂 🙂 And if they were in the writing at the top, i must have missed it, it’s absolutely boiling hot here give me a break 😆 And the regeneration figure looks very detailed. Do you think we may get some close up shots booboo?
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 1:39pmyou can an image here but the lighting is so dont go by it to much
i am trying to get a proper picture of it

Trenzalore
July 9th, 2013 - 1:36pmAlthough i say boiling hot it probably is alot hotter in other countrys.
Trenzalore
July 9th, 2013 - 1:41pmThanks again booboo 🙂 Can’t wait to actually get it, will you be buying booboo?
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 1:42pmalready ordered it
Weep
July 9th, 2013 - 1:44pmCan we buy it on amazon ?
If yes can you give me the link. Thanks
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 1:45pmnot on there yet
Trenzalore
July 9th, 2013 - 1:45pmi will probably order a bit closer to the date. Already saved up £30.00 so i should be able to get another 30 by the date just hope it dosen’t sell out too quickly
drjakeyoung
July 9th, 2013 - 2:03pmSame here trenzalore, i got £30 right now!
Whovian
July 9th, 2013 - 5:38pmThere are 5000 so I think it should take a while before they’re sold out.
WouldYoulikeAJellyBaby
July 9th, 2013 - 6:37pmBooBoo do you think the link to the figure you posted looks like him? Fringe looks a bit weird imo.
Dalek The Supreme
July 9th, 2013 - 1:05pmProbably too expensive for me, but still, I’d like to get it either for myself or for my dad.
Fezmeister
July 9th, 2013 - 1:00pmThis seems very random. Why only Terror of the Zygons?
Some bloke
July 9th, 2013 - 1:09pmbecause it’s the last t. baker story to be released, and they’re sort of doing the same thing by releasing it slightly earlier like they did with tenth planet 🙂
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
July 9th, 2013 - 12:48pmnot a bad product. thought they’d go in order.
HalfPintOfInnes
July 9th, 2013 - 12:19pmJust ordered the set, I’m not in it for the figure, I’ll probably just end up selling it on EBay and getting a bit of my money back from the set and make sure someone gets the figure if they can’t afford the price of the set. Really excited for this! Can’t wait to see if they will be doing anymore Doctors, which I would think they would.
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 12:21pmyou will do ok with the figure
HalfPintOfInnes
July 9th, 2013 - 12:34pmIt’s a blind game with exclusives I think, mine will probably be on EBay the day it arrives so will just wait and see what it goes for, just hope it won’t go for a silly price, hate seeing figures going to extortionate prices!
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 12:37pmif the set is sold out before its release than its any ones guess
£30-£40 otherwise i would say
HalfPintOfInnes
July 9th, 2013 - 1:12pmSo I’d get a fair amount of my money back, well that’s alright, I don’t really mind what I get for it, better than just having it lying around not being used
Ryan Denyerr
July 9th, 2013 - 4:20pmSo your spending £62 on a set that your not going to use or open but put on Ebay the day it arrives and get £30-40 making a profit of (at a maximum) £-22 that makes a lot of sense…
HalfPintOfzinnes
July 9th, 2013 - 4:49pmNo, I’m spending £62 on a set that I’m going to use, all apart from the figure, which I am selling, and as booboo said, I would get £30-£40 on the figure alone.
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 4:50pmyou might, just a guess
HalfPintOfzinnes
July 9th, 2013 - 4:53pmOh that’s what I meant! But can wait and see 🙂
Whovian
July 9th, 2013 - 12:05pmWill the sonic be a character options one?
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 12:16pmi would think so but cant really tell from the picture
dalek eternal
July 9th, 2013 - 11:59amhope my parents will pre order this for me if not ill be very sad I really want that figure
Timelord63
July 9th, 2013 - 11:48amDoes anyone know if this is only available from BBC shop as cannot find it listed on Amazon?
Some bloke
July 9th, 2013 - 11:52amIt’s only just been listed today, and considering it’s a limited 5000, I doubt it will be anywhere else. That’s what I think anyways. 🙂
Timelord63
July 9th, 2013 - 11:55amCheers. Didn’t think it was on Amazon as it’s released in 2 weeks so would of been listed
TheIrishGallifreyan
July 9th, 2013 - 11:19amBooboo, what is in the blue case?
Some bloke
July 9th, 2013 - 11:19aman interview with tom baker! 😀
drjakeyoung
July 9th, 2013 - 11:15amThis is amazing! Especially the figure! Will they be releasing it separately? (i am still buying this though!)
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 11:18ami think the figure may remain exclusive to this set
jaketorwho
July 9th, 2013 - 11:08amFantastic set, but as i just bought the regeneration box set i will give this a miss. Bakers not even my favourite classic doctor!
Radburn
July 9th, 2013 - 10:51amWith the bbcshop promo code that knocks £6 off which take’s it too about £57 – Plus free postage & packing. The cost of the individual items exceeds that price, so for a deluxe individually numbered limited edition I think it’s woth the price. With the figure being exclusive to this set I think it will soon sell out…
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 10:52amgot to admit this is the 1st time in a very long time i have ordered something without thinking twice about it
Radburn
July 9th, 2013 - 10:56amYep, me to! As soon as I saw it I bought it…
Scott
July 9th, 2013 - 10:45amBit of a let down on the figure I think, it’s nice but they could have made something better, then again I suppose it did have to be a Tom baker figure seeing as it is his boxset
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 10:47amfigure is a new sculpt
THEBIGBLUEBOX
July 9th, 2013 - 10:39amit would be cool if they included a signed photo. 😀
The Supreme Dalek
July 9th, 2013 - 10:36amI only want the figure, the art cards and Terror of the Zygons, and maybe the sonic screwdriver. But it’s a bit pricey. When will it come out?
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 10:55amreleased on July 29.
Mels
July 9th, 2013 - 10:32amWell, this is really nice (and unexpected – the best kind). 😀
Time Lord 85
July 9th, 2013 - 10:29amThat’s a tad pricey, i bet the guy who found the figure on ebay is pleased with himself.
I’d like to hope the figure will be re-released at a later date.
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 10:30amfigure is exclusive, with such a high profile release i suspect it will stay that way – there will be quite a few people buying this set just to get the figure
Radburn
July 9th, 2013 - 10:26amDoes anyone have the bbcshop Promo code for this month please?
Some bloke
July 9th, 2013 - 10:28amyeah, I bought something from them the other day, and the little leaflet thing said it was RPJUL13 and I’ve tried that loads and it wont work. I’ve just emailed them about it. I’ll tell you if I here anything 🙂
Some bloke
July 9th, 2013 - 10:30amOK? It suddenly just worked for me HA
Radburn
July 9th, 2013 - 10:46amCheers – It worked for me as well!
Trafford Anderson
July 9th, 2013 - 10:24amSo does anyone know what the other two episodes are?
booboo

Ben Roberts
July 9th, 2013 - 10:23amDoes this contain all of Tom Baker’s episodes or just Terror of the Zygons?
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 10:25amjust terror of the zygons
Ben Roberts
July 9th, 2013 - 10:27amI see. Well, it looks good, even if I am slightly disappointed 😛
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 10:29amthis is very much a collectors set although this is hard one for figure completests
Rob
July 9th, 2013 - 10:20amThis is fantastic omg!
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 10:15amwell now e know where the 4th doctor on ebay was for anyway
Some bloke

booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 10:19amas ebay seller in Hong Kong sold one of these figures but we didn’t know what it was for
Some bloke
July 9th, 2013 - 10:21amoh, did it go for much? I’m guessing it did 🙂
booboo
