The Keeper of Traken Collectors Set – Pictures
The Keeper Traken Action Figure Set
Expected 15th December 2011 price £39.99
The Fourth Doctor and Adric learn from the wizened Keeper of Traken that a great evil has come to his planet in the form of a Melkur – a calcified statue. The Keeper is nearing the end of his reign and seeks the Doctor’s help in preventing the evil from taking control of the bioelectronic Source that is the keystone of the Traken Union’s civilisation.
The Melkur, via various deceptions, becomes the next Keeper. It is then, however, revealed to be the Master’s TARDIS. Its owner, still blackened and emaciated, hopes to use the Source’s power to regenerate himself. The Doctor manages to expel him and install a new Keeper in his place, but in a last minute ploy the Master traps one of the Traken Consuls, Tremas, and merges with his body before fleeing the planet.
Contents:
1 x The Fourth Doctor in Waistcoat action figure.
1 x The Master Decayed action figure.
1 x The Melkur Statue action figure.

Classic who is cool
November 26th, 2011 - 12:48pmLove the look of this figure set
Nathan
November 26th, 2011 - 12:23pmI’ve never seen this story, but from what I know about it, wasn’t the Melkur just a Statue? He’s still a great figure, and I heard he moved (or something), but it seems an odd choice compared to including somebody like Adric or Nyssa 😕

November 26th, 2011 - 12:27pmthe melkur is a disguise of the masters TARDIS

Liason Ice
November 26th, 2011 - 6:19amThe Master one looks the best but I’m not to keen on the 4th Doctor figure
DRWHO is GREAT
November 26th, 2011 - 8:28amThe 4th Doctor figure would be good if you couldn’t see all the joints!

November 26th, 2011 - 12:09amOh wow! Fan attack! I love the Melkur, I love the clock (The Masters Tardises) I love this master (The face has been captured to perfection, as has most of the Action Figures recently) and The doctor. Well. No Scarf wave. This is defo on my xmas list. And it is released December 15. Still in time for Christmas. Yey! Love to see a Fourth Doctor wave called adventure set 2 with Sutekh (with throne) Doctor in Timelord costume (from deadly Assassin) Kraal and the Fendahl!!! That would be so cool! But quite expensive!
Tick Tock goes the Clock

matparks08
November 25th, 2011 - 6:43pmThese new sets being released are absolutely fantastic – this one and the Enemies of the Third Doctor are just superb – though are they ALL coming out in December? It’s going to be an expensive month. I’m really hoping there’s a 7th Doctor set released too with – fingers crossed, an Ace figure in it!

whofan4ever
November 25th, 2011 - 5:04pmthe doctor looks odd and melkur is AMAZING
clock looks well detailed but sometimes the prototypes are better than the sale product
Whofan#1
November 25th, 2011 - 5:01pmthey should of done a adric figure
ozzysupreme
November 25th, 2011 - 5:12pmi couldn’t agree more,but there is a chance because there are 2 jo prototypes and a jamie prototype. so the future for classic companions could be bright!?
Adam
November 25th, 2011 - 7:16pmThey’ll probably do a set of Companions
the doctor and bradley
November 25th, 2011 - 10:20pmwere are the prototype jamie,2jo’s???????????????????
Anonymous
November 25th, 2011 - 10:43pmNo pictures of them have been seen yet, but Katy Manning has seen two of them (one being The Three Doctors, the other she couldn’t remember the story from). Frazer Hines has given permission for a figure but nothing about seeing one yet.
the doctor and bradley
November 26th, 2011 - 9:28ami saw a yeti on who north america but it’s gone
RORY FIGURES ARE LIKE SO COOL! (Doctors Little Companion)
November 25th, 2011 - 4:55pmi feel dissapointed by this set for some reason.
gary
November 25th, 2011 - 4:52pmThis is a nice set! I don’t thin I will get it but I do love it!
Cyberdevil
November 25th, 2011 - 4:22pmNice, but there are sets out that I want and haven’t got yet, which I’ll get before this
David
November 25th, 2011 - 4:21pmWow,the classic sets are getting better and better!
11matt

Judooning
November 25th, 2011 - 1:51pmLooks nice but there are a couple of other sets i want to get before this such as invasion of time and caves of Androzani.
aarondrwhofan64
November 25th, 2011 - 2:19pmyeah i need all DWA issues and more monster invasion cards and some character building stuff 🙂
aarondrwhofan64
November 26th, 2011 - 12:28pmand some more series 6 figures 🙂
TheDoctorOfWho
November 25th, 2011 - 1:34pmBetter if included Nyssa/Adric instead of another 4th doctor! Plus, do we really need that master, it’s almost the same as the deadly assassin master!
aarondrwhofan64
November 25th, 2011 - 1:43pmyeah i would like nyssa….. 🙁
aarondrwhofan64
November 25th, 2011 - 1:44pmbut tom is still nice 🙂
John Patterson
November 25th, 2011 - 1:29pmNice set, but would have liked to have seen Nyssa included. Strange expression on The Doctor…
THR ERGON
November 25th, 2011 - 7:42pmIT DOES SEEM ODD NYSSA HASN,T BEEN INCLUDED AS IT WAS HER INTRODUCTION STORY. I,M GUESSING SHE WILL GET HER OWN SET AT SOME POINT MAYBE WITH A GARM OR SOMETHING.
doctor daddy cool 67
November 25th, 2011 - 1:24pmThis set looks not to bad. The masters tardis as the stone statue looks very good, but not too sure of the clock. The doctor figure appears to look a little startled though. But overall I think I will but this set.
no one
November 25th, 2011 - 4:00pmthe masters TARDIS is the clock, the stone thing is a melkur
no one
November 25th, 2011 - 4:45pmoh just looked it up the melkur in another one of the masters TARDIS’
