Doctor Who The Other (War) Doctor 5″ Figure
Available to order from www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk
The ‘Other Doctor’ is the Doctor’s dark chapter, an _hitherto unknown incarnation whose existence he has spent centuries repressing, a secret he wants no one to know of.
He is a relic of the past, part of the great Time War, when he spent centuries fighting alongside his fellow Time Lords against the Daleks and made the final decision to end it with a desperate act that cost that incarnation the right to use the name “Doctor”.
This haunted and battle-worn Other Doctor is finally forgiven after helping find a new solution to end the war, giving the Eleventh Doctor a new purpose as he heads into further adventures.

February 26th, 2014 - 7:42pmI’m assuming it follows standard articulation, with ball jointed shoulders?
Dynamite Doctor
February 26th, 2014 - 8:34pmFrom what it looks like, yes.
danpaxto
February 27th, 2014 - 1:01amThe best part about the articulation is that it’s a little more hidden. Most figures have leg rotation half way up the thigh, the War Doctor figure has this at the top of his boots, that’s how you rotate the angle of his feet!

February 26th, 2014 - 3:32pmJust shows they can produce a figure in a matter of months , unless of course its a yeti , a zarbi, a war machine , a quark or a kroton or most any other classic monster from anyone other than the fourth doctors era…expect I’ll still be waiting in another ten years for them…
JaffaCakes
February 26th, 2014 - 4:09pm>claps< I think the slowing down of the classics line is an outrage, with so many fans and so much opportunity to create out there
VespiformsSting
February 26th, 2014 - 6:09pmThe last time I really got excited about figures were when those stunning Mechonoids were released since then the classic range has dried to a trickle and stopped with the sets dominated by tedious reissues of figures .. it really is a pain in the backside to have so many classics untouched and the classic dalek and cybermen ranges incomplete…meanwhile the ‘kids’ keep whining on wanting the most trifling , dull and obscure new figures going while we cant even get a major classic monster like the Yeti…….
JaffaCakes
February 26th, 2014 - 8:57pmI agree entirely – what would really be great would be a few more of those ‘adventure sets’ like with the fourth Doctor, only with monsters from other eras; Ice Lords, Autons, Krotons, Yeti, Zarbi, The Kandyman… the list of opportunities is almost endless.
VespiformsSting
February 26th, 2014 - 10:20pmA true fifty year celebration would have seen them release a set from each Doctor’s era plus a few of the classic consoles… Instead we got too many sets duplicating figures…..
JaffaCakes
February 27th, 2014 - 4:04pmAnd a heap of 3.75 inch new series figures too, which, while still figures, can’t be of quite the same quality or relevance. I mean, I like the Daleks, but some new classics would have been nice
Tardis’nt

February 25th, 2014 - 7:41amThis is the best figure (in my opinion) that character options have released ever!! 🙂 I have been wsiting for this figure since december 5th and by looking at the pic of it in its packaging, its well worth the wait!!!
Mels
February 25th, 2014 - 5:02amWell, this is the best bit of DW merchandise I’ve seen so far this year. Looking forward to getting this one.

February 24th, 2014 - 10:48pmI received my figure yesterday, absolutely awesome! Very happy and very lucky that we are able to get this in 5 inch! Wonderfully detailed and incredibly accurate!
You guys will love it!

February 24th, 2014 - 6:36pmThe delay has been caused by the recent bad weather, a lot of shipping has been delayed.
booboo
February 25th, 2014 - 10:41pmyet the 3.75″ arrived early?
The other doctor figure
February 23rd, 2014 - 1:04pmI think they should release a 5″ regeneration pack including a very old 11th doctor with walking cane and a peter capaldi figure with loose bowtie! What do you guys think??? 🙂
Last white point star
February 23rd, 2014 - 3:23pmPeter Capaldi didn’t wear Matt’s bow tie.Before Matt regenerated he dropped his bow tie on the floor so that figure wouldn’t work.
The other doctor figure
February 23rd, 2014 - 6:44pmWhat I meant by loose bowtie is the bowtie which was dropped on the floor 🙂
Cyberleader1010
February 23rd, 2014 - 7:52amBooboo, will the war doctor be released on the 11th March now? I got an email from FP international that the release date had been pushed back!
booboo
February 23rd, 2014 - 8:22amno idea, dates usually change with these as they are announced so far in advance now its difficult to be accurate
tardistakeoff
February 23rd, 2014 - 7:09pmwell I for one sent a complaint to FP, if stocks are arriving early in other countries that usually get them later, then why cant they arrive on time in Britain? I know its probably a very simple error, but i dont think its one that the customer should have to deal with.
Cyberleader1010
February 23rd, 2014 - 7:10pmThanks. I kept noticing the Claws of Axos and Daemons sets release dates being pushed back further and further. At least we’ll get it at some point.
The Big Bad Wolf
February 24th, 2014 - 7:49amwhat does he mean by pushed back? does he mean its coming earlier than fp originally said with 11th march??????

February 22nd, 2014 - 6:03pmI’ve got my modified 9th doctor head ready to go !!
Likethisdayofthedoctor
February 22nd, 2014 - 11:20amYou know what, all of those comments below on the 8th Doctor’s head has got me thinking. What if, the 9th Doctor’s head can come off? On a 9th Doctor figure. I wouldn’t like to try it, because I don’t like wasting figures, but does anyone know? booboo, do you know?
(Oh, and Trenzalore, this is a slightly different subject to what were were talking about before).
booboo
February 22nd, 2014 - 11:22amnever tried to be honest
Likethisdayofthedoctor
February 22nd, 2014 - 11:24amOh, ok. It’s just you seem to know a lot about these figures so I thought you might have known.
Wholords2
February 22nd, 2014 - 12:45pmIt doesn’t work with the war doctor figure
I have hollowed the neck on my 9th doc
And glued a neck peg thing in the torso
Ready for when I get my war doctor figure
Likethisdayofthedoctor
February 22nd, 2014 - 1:20pmSo, Wholords2, are you saying that it can’t come off? Ok, so if it can’t, how did you hollow the neck?
Wholords2
February 22nd, 2014 - 1:40pmIt has a peg on it but its a part of the actual head mould
I had to cut the peg off to modify it
But the peg is not removable on it
Without cutting it
Likethisdayofthedoctor
February 22nd, 2014 - 1:51pmYeah, but Wholords2, I’ve seen it on various 4th Doctor figures that when you take the head off, it has a special mould on the bottom of the neck. You can’t really have a flat neck glued on a moulded body, as
A) it would be messy,
B) it wouldn’t fit on the neck.
So I think you’ll have to wait and see what the mould is like on the War Doctors body to put the Ninth doctors head on it.
Wholords2
February 22nd, 2014 - 5:59pmyeah that special mould is what I glued into the 9th doctors torso
that i cracked open
to crack a figure open you just heat it up and try and open the seams
it only works sometimes
Likethisdayofthedoctor
February 22nd, 2014 - 11:59pmSometimes, oh that’s great
Wholords2
February 23rd, 2014 - 7:40amwell it will work if your super careful and use a craft knife in
the gap of the seam and move down the seam it should split in half where
the seam is, i put it in hot water to loosen the seam
Anonymous
February 23rd, 2014 - 8:45amYeah, but you have to try extremely hard to keep 9th head in VERY good condition.
Wholords2
February 23rd, 2014 - 7:18pmNo it was quite easy I just carefully drilled in the neck

February 21st, 2014 - 11:40pmRight to settle this, can the 8th doctor figure (from the 11 doctors set) head come off? Because MickeySmith07 (sort of) started this, and it’s got me confused.
So, can it?
CyberSlave2014
February 22nd, 2014 - 10:02amFrom the 11 Doctor sets?
No he must have taken it off using those special tool things.

February 22nd, 2014 - 10:26amIm affraid thats wrong, it can be taken off quite easily, if anything its easier to take off than the 4th and 7th doctor heads.
Likethisdayofthedoctor
February 22nd, 2014 - 10:31amAh, thank you. I mean, I wouldn’t try it anyway. Just in case anything goes wrong.

I don’t think I’ll bovver, I’ll suppose I’ll just take your word for it. (That the head can come off).
(But I’m not gonna do it).

February 21st, 2014 - 7:48pmSo, everyone, what do you think of this figure?
The fact that it has an 8th Doctor head and not a 9th?
The Moment Accessory?
The Sonic Screwdriver?
Oh, and The War Doctor!
Trenzalore
February 21st, 2014 - 8:08pmIt’s been explained hundreds of times about the fact we’ve got eights head. They made it before the 50th so they didn’t know.
I just don’t understand why people can’t except an added bonus, instead of pointing out that it’s wrong.
And I really like this figure and can’t wait to get it!
Anonymous
February 21st, 2014 - 8:10pmYes, but do you personally like it? (8th head instead of 9th)
Trenzalore
February 21st, 2014 - 8:14pmYes. I would be happy either way. How would it make such a huge difference?
Likethisdayofthedoctor
February 21st, 2014 - 8:24pm(Sorry Anonymous was me)
I find it more neater if it was a ninth doctor. A lot of people online want a 9th head instead of 8th. But yeah, at least we (sort of) have a new 8th Doctor figure.
