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.
1 x Master’s TARDIS as a Grandfather Clock
1 x Source Manipulator Sphere accessory.

December 30th, 2011 - 1:21pmi dont think anything would have been finalised yet, although i’m sure there are many who would like to see all the Doctors take part in some shape of form

matt smithy
December 30th, 2011 - 2:22pmdon’t belive everything you read. I don’t think he will be in it if there is one. cause in an interview with him he said that he thought he was to old for it now and he wouldnt do it. And that is true. It was an interview with him.
cyberman97

harold saxon
December 29th, 2011 - 7:26pmLOOK PRETTY GOOD IN CLOSE EFFECT,BOX IS NICE WITH GOOD INNER BACK GROUND SCENE.
Doctor Who Crazy Ross Muscroft
December 29th, 2011 - 4:55pmdoes anyone keep the boxes after they’ve opened them? I do, I think it is better
McGann is The Doctor.
December 29th, 2011 - 5:03pmI do I do!! It takes ALOT OF SPACE but it’s better than throwing it in the recycling,
I paid for the item, aswell as the packaging, the packaging looks nice and may be needed to keep the figures in, if my dad moves house again. ! 😆
booboo
December 29th, 2011 - 5:07pmwe used to but they took up to much room so i keep the backgrounds if they have one an get rid of the rest, i would rather not its just space to be honest
daleksean
December 29th, 2011 - 5:38pmyes i do i put them back in the box when ive finished with them
TheDoctorOfWho
December 30th, 2011 - 8:01amI did keep them in my room but yesterday I was made to stack them in a box and shove them in the garage. I still have them but my room is now tidy!
whofan4ever
December 30th, 2011 - 8:44amwell i keep the backing cards of each wave(obviously it was flimsy paper for blister packet figures). i think it is good because it shows what you have incase you forget you have that figure and shows some other figures that lots of effort went into!
Shihan101 Productions
December 30th, 2011 - 8:58amI keep the backgrounds for filming Dr Who stop motion stories.
cyberman97
December 30th, 2011 - 11:39ami just chuck the packaging in a bin bag up in the shed
Nicholas
December 29th, 2011 - 4:27pmI WANT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!1 NOW!!!

December 29th, 2011 - 4:27pmdoes the melkur have articulation
booboo
December 29th, 2011 - 5:04pmyes it does, the legs and arms where they meet the body and the head turns
THE ERGON
December 12th, 2011 - 1:19pmTHIS IS WAY OFF THE SUBJECT BUT WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT THE TWO MISSING EPISODES FOUND FROM GALAXY 4 AND THE UNDERWATER MENACE? I,M EXSTATIC. COMMENTS PLEASE.
McGann is the Doctor.
December 12th, 2011 - 1:25pmYou know there is a page for that particular topic, right ?
I heard the news thismorning from me ma, who told me there’s been two episodes found of 60s Dr Who. I said oh ? and which ones ? answer: “The Underwater something” and I knew then it was the Under-water menace. 😀 not that I’m really into B+W era BTW 😉
Classic who is cool
December 12th, 2011 - 8:52pmyes it is all awsome i cant believe they have found some more parts to episodes, i bet it will be a while now before any more show up if they do !
Alex_The_Geek
December 29th, 2011 - 4:56pmI hope they can find at least 7 more so they can say their is under 100 missing. I obviously want them to find em all. But if thats not possible then finding 7 more would be an alright alternative
A Walters
December 11th, 2011 - 5:29pmI don’t think I will be getting this one. Looks quite cheap (especially the clock)
BOOBOO JR
December 11th, 2011 - 6:03pmIn my opinion, the clock looks pretty much exactly how it did in the episode, I don’t think there’s much you can do to make it look anymore similar. Remember, these are only prototypes, and they normally end up looking better in hand.
McGann is the Doctor.
December 12th, 2011 - 1:28pmTrue !!
And the thing that I though looked cheap was the Stettson-Doctor, worst representation on any figure EVER !! 😡 ❗
Wrong jacket, I can take. But wrong shirt and bowtie, AND it includes a sonic ? He never used a Sonic and the hat was only onscreen for about half a minute in that story !! 🙁 Lets have a Stetson Doctor from Wedding of Riversong !! 😀
Anthony
December 30th, 2011 - 7:56pmwell yeh i like it but i prefer them to do the xmas set do fig thats why i bought it at xmas on my series 6 shelf and that jacket and the tyrs ex docs shirt and normal head and stetson and sonic closed and then thats ok but i think it ed be good if they rerased the series 6 doc figs with xmas set jacket
Ian O’Brien
December 5th, 2011 - 7:22pmThis set is running late at Forbidden Planet International. Expected into the warehouse on 23rd December.
McGann is the Doctor.
December 9th, 2011 - 1:56pmThat’s fine, I have decided (despite really liking this particular set) that I will ahve to get one of the older sets first, adn that is the Resurrection of the Daleks, OR the Genesis of the Daleks set. 😉 Befroe it sells out ❗
McGann is the Doctor.
December 9th, 2011 - 1:57pmBTW, already got the Revelation set.
BOOBOO JR
December 11th, 2011 - 6:03pmBit late if people wanted it for Christmas.
McGann is the Doctor.
December 12th, 2011 - 1:30pmYeah, a pity for CO’s sales. And an inconvenience no doubt to those who wanted it at this special time of year. 🙁 But not a complete loss, fans pf the set can buy with thier newly-earned Christmas money in January 😉
forever dalek 1323
December 1st, 2011 - 9:25pmi say we vote for what figures that we want to see from the specials.
McGann is the Doctor.
December 9th, 2011 - 1:50pmYou mean like, Jackson Lake ? The Tritovores and the Flood Zombies ? 🙂
Joeydude
November 30th, 2011 - 7:00pmIf the Master saw this I’d bet he’d say: “At Last! A new figure!”
whofan4ever
November 28th, 2011 - 8:06pm40 QUID!!
i know its probably the right price but it’s only 2 or 3 figures and a clock!
depends if you think melkur counts as a figure or as a tardis with articulation!
THE ERGON
November 29th, 2011 - 5:24pmI THINK ITS FAIRLY REASONABLE CONSIDERING YOU GET 2 FIGURES FOR 27 NOTES IN OTHER SETS. SOME OF THE PROPS ARE NEEDED TO JUSTIFY THE PRICETAG.
whofan4ever
November 28th, 2011 - 8:04pmthey should make a set for either logopolis or robot
not because they are the first and last eps of the fourth doc but a young sarah jane would be awesome
THE ERGON
November 29th, 2011 - 5:28pmYOU MEAN TO SAY YOU HAVEN,T GOT A GIANT ROBOT. IT WAS AVAILABLE IN THE COLLECT AND BUILD SOME TIME AGO. I,VE A FEELING THERE WILL BE A SARAH JANE OR TWO ON THE WAY SOON THOUGH.
Classic who is cool
November 29th, 2011 - 6:18pmThat would be awsome to get a classic sarah jane 😀
McGann is the Doctor.
December 12th, 2011 - 1:31pmI thought a Sarah Jane figure form the story “Planet of Spiders” would go well with another Third Doctor, maybe afew metabillis Spiders too ofcourse! 😀
whofan4ever
November 28th, 2011 - 7:54pmbooboo is that your dapol melkur?
booboo
November 28th, 2011 - 7:59pmyes its mine
whofan4ever
November 28th, 2011 - 8:01pmwhere did you get it ?
did you have it from when it was released or did you pay loads of money on ebay for it?
dalek eternal
November 28th, 2011 - 3:45pmanybody interested in a shop called 80s toyshop they have actually got a time crash set for 35 pounds opened and with dr missing celery could probably be fixed with celery of another dr
11matt
November 28th, 2011 - 6:01pma water zombie or cyber shade or tritrove or Jackson lake(other Dr) would be cool.
forever dalek 1323
December 1st, 2011 - 9:22pmi agree a cybershade would be a a good figure but the only reason i can think of why they have not yet released one is because of the cloak, but now what they have done with omega they may be able aceive with the shade.
Classic who is cool
November 28th, 2011 - 3:09pmBooboo do you know why they never released any figures from the waters of mars or from the planet of the dead ?
i would of loved a gadget figure adele brook, christina de souza or even one of the stingray things !
booboo
November 28th, 2011 - 3:22pmthey seem to stop any figure to do with specials except the end of time, pitty there were some great figure to be had
McGann is the Doctor.
November 28th, 2011 - 3:29pmAgreed, absolutely. I kept thinking there was going to be the Tritovores, you know what they were, right ? 😉
Classic who is cool
November 28th, 2011 - 3:39pmYes i would of loved figures from the specials there are so manny that could have been done,
1. cybershade
2. christina de souza
3. stingrays
4. gadget
5. adele brook
6 flood creatures
they did do a voyage of the dammed set and sycorax and rocnoss figures so why not do any from the other specials ?
i also thought donna from the run away bride would have been good plus donna is the only companion with one figure
aarondrwhofan64
November 28th, 2011 - 6:19pmthey made a next doctor cyberleader in the collect’n’build cyber controller mate 🙂
aarondrwhofan64

Classic who is cool
November 28th, 2011 - 7:45pmI know they made a cybercontroller from that episode beacuse i got it ages ago, but it would be better if they did other charecters from the specials like the cybershades for example 😀

November 28th, 2011 - 11:28amI might buy this for myself, for boxing day (christmas at my dad’s house). NICE 😀
Excited already !! Ever since I watched taht story the Leisure Hive, I thought a jacketless season 18 4th Doctor would make an excellent figure. 🙂
dalek eternal
November 27th, 2011 - 12:24pmi now of a shop with a load of old and new dr who merchandise which could be of particular interest to people live in wales its called 80s toyshop it has an ebay page and has series 1to 4 figure for 5 pounds and some for tenner like master with toclafane and dr in spacesuit with orbs and rose and k9 they even have two time crash set one opened 35 pound with 5th dr missing celery good probably be fixed by taking it of another 5th dr and one unopened for 300 pounds it was a great show and had all sorts of toys and some dapol figures
dalek eternal
November 27th, 2011 - 12:27pmmy dad some christmas shopping there for me and my mum too so i dont now what i got hopefully natural odd and pyrovile i bought myself ghostbuster dr for five pounds unopened bargain.I also bought myself river with new hair and 3 cyberman set and cybermat for forbidden planet for 30 pounds happy days. I now this is off topic but i think it would be off great interest to people that need figures or to complete collect and builds as they had vespiform wave apart from river sadly if you want to find it google it maybe or look for a ebay shop

Great figure set for a story I didn’t really enjoy or even understand at the time of watching it. Traken, 😕
