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.

The Other Doctor Action Figure.
The Other Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver Accessory.

March 10th, 2014 - 11:48amAnyone know if Forbidden Planet has recieved stock at their warehouse. It only says “We are currently waiting for updated information from our suppliers”
I hope it isn’t delayed again
booboo
March 10th, 2014 - 11:49amif its going to arrive tomorrow they must know surely
SpiderDalek
March 10th, 2014 - 3:57pmFP.com is now listing stock arriving tomorrow now to match FPInternational. Guess both will get it same time

March 9th, 2014 - 11:09pmWill the war doctor figure arrive on Tuesday for those who ordered it?
Matthew S
March 9th, 2014 - 11:21pmProbably not. Forbidden Planet are (hopefully) stocking it in their warehouse on Tuesday and will ship the preorders out from there that day. So you should get it from Wednesday-Friday.

March 9th, 2014 - 11:28pmOk, thanks. Now I know not to get my hopes up for when I get home on Tuesday.

March 9th, 2014 - 5:15amI FIIIIIIIINally opened mine this morning, and he is FANTASTIC! the flesh tone isn’t as tan as the pictures above (so thats good), the chest still seems a little bulky (but thats ok) his scarf is removable, his hands are molded closed, the sculpt in general is amazing. The McGann head looks neat. I’ve put it on a spare 8 body I had lying around so now I have a long and short hair 8 in my collection (it fits well and is the right proportions, I’m not sure if it’s intentional but it works all the same).

March 9th, 2014 - 5:19amThe bandolier is a little silver for my tastes (same as above though) and I was hoping for a hole for his sonic, but there isn’t one. That’s ok, not complaining, just incase anyone else was wondering about it. So that’s my thoughts after a few hours of fiddling with him. I love this piece, and if you have it on order or are thinking about it, get excited!

March 9th, 2014 - 7:20pmHopefully I’ll have mine by the end of this week.
Vector
March 10th, 2014 - 8:08amI hope you love it as much as I do.

March 8th, 2014 - 8:50ami love the doctors cant wait and i also love spider – man
Matthew Seaman
March 7th, 2014 - 11:05pmBoohoo, do you reckon fp Shaftesbury avenue will have this figure when I go in next Saturday (15th)?
AlexanderOP
March 8th, 2014 - 6:55pmWhy not ring up and ask if they’ll be getting one in and if they are to put one back for you?
TardisBrad
March 7th, 2014 - 9:42amMy one (petty) gripe is the bandolier. The Eighth Doctor did not put it on until after he regenerated into the War Doctor. It would have been nice if the bandolier was removable.
McGann is the Doctor
March 7th, 2014 - 6:46pmDon’t worry about such things: they will surely make a proper 8th Doctor body to use this head with 😉
Arthur Stengos
March 7th, 2014 - 8:43amAs long as they produce a 5″ Capaldi Doctor, a late-period[Victorian clothes] Smith Doctor, and a Clara, I’ll be happy. The 3.75″ Clara still doesn’t look quite right – her neck is far too thick – and the quality of the paint apps seems to have dropped a long way. I’ve got 3 Doctors, and have had to repaint the faces [especially the eyes] on all of them.
Doctorpond393
March 6th, 2014 - 9:03pmWill those who preordered it for 11th march get it on that day or will it be a few days after?
The Big Bad Wolf
March 7th, 2014 - 7:33amprobably, if its not delayed again
TARDISGuy
March 6th, 2014 - 12:12pmThis figure is incredibly good. The John Hurt sculpt is fantastic, the detailing on the costume is very nice and the Moment accessory may be a hollow piece of square plastic but it’s pretty impressive. The 8th Doctor is a nice addition, as well.

March 5th, 2014 - 6:44pmwhen is the uk relese date ?
DOCTOR WHO ONE
March 5th, 2014 - 7:20pmIt’s out now here in the UK, but I sadly did not see any in London’s Forbidden Planet.
The other doctor figure
March 5th, 2014 - 7:49pmDo you mean it has been released before the planned date of 10th march
the astronaut of death
March 5th, 2014 - 6:44pmI need this !
Anonymous
March 5th, 2014 - 7:57amWill I be able to get mine at FP?
DOCTOR WHO ONE
March 5th, 2014 - 6:40pmI wanted to buy this today at Forbidden Planet in London on Shaftsbury Avenue but they didn’t seem to have any in stock today.
SpiderDalek
March 6th, 2014 - 6:38pmIt won’t be in stock because it doesn’t arrive till 10th March. and Forbidden Planet international get it the next day (11th March)

March 4th, 2014 - 10:03pmOrdered from Aus, booboo did you choose the airmail shipment?
Vector
March 4th, 2014 - 6:53amMINE CAME TODAY!!!! Yes. I’m excited. A little annoyed also as I have to wait for my birthday on Sunday (I had it in the car with me alllll day while i was working. It was maddening.)to even open the shipping box it came in so I can’t comment on sculpt/paint/etc, but just knowing it’s under my roof is a good feeling!
The Big Bad Wolf
March 4th, 2014 - 1:25pmdid you order it from australlia or uk?
Vector
March 5th, 2014 - 6:44amI ordered mine in Australia.
The other doctor figure
March 5th, 2014 - 7:42amHave you got it out of the shipping box yet? Lol
Vector
March 7th, 2014 - 6:39amHaha, naw, I have to wait until sunday. My Wife made a bet saying I’ll break and open the shipping box just to have a look at it so I need to prove her wrong. She just can’t be right ALL the time! It’s an annoying yet satisfying exercise in will power. I WANT TO SEE IT SOOO MUCH!!! *ahem*… It’s ok, I can wait…
Matthew seaman
March 3rd, 2014 - 9:36pmCan someone explain to me why some figures are underground toys, and some are character, and some are fp etc etc.
booboo
March 3rd, 2014 - 9:49pmthey are all manufactured by Character, who hold the licence to make them, but some, mostly the classics are commissioned (which means they are funded basically ) by underground toys and in a few cases forbidden planet.
underground toys seem to have an exclusive deal with forbidden planet in the UK although they are essentially a USA distributor.
Dr Who Society
March 2nd, 2014 - 12:54amThis would make a good 5″ set:
11th doctor
Clara Oswald
Zygon
Kate Stewart
Bad Wolf Girl
10th doctor
The other doctor
The Funky Chicken
March 6th, 2014 - 7:00pmYah it would
Dr Who Society
March 2nd, 2014 - 12:29amREALLY IMPORTANT: I just spoke to Forbidden planet Shaftesbury Avenue asking about new dw figures. They couldn’t answer my question but directed me to Characters number. I spoke to the guy from Character and he said: “although it’s not been made official, it’s very likely we’ll continue making the odd 5″ figure like Capaldi etc” YESSSS!!! (This was yesterday!)
Dr Who Society
March 2nd, 2014 - 12:30amThis is really exciting me!
VespiformsSting
March 2nd, 2014 - 12:44amis that the odd 5 inch figure from the new series or odd five inch figure from new AND classic…… the ‘odd’ classic figure sounds like the continuing slow demise of the classic range to me…
CG
March 2nd, 2014 - 12:45amGreat, I would love the occasional 5′ figure espicially doctors and companions, not worried about monsters. It also would be good if they made everything 5′
but I dont think thats going to happen.
Dr Who Society
March 2nd, 2014 - 12:46amI think character already confirmed a permanent continuation of the classic figures, but I’m just hoping for more modern 5″ toys
Dominic Kane
March 2nd, 2014 - 2:50pmthey should do clara!
Doctor 2011
March 1st, 2014 - 12:46pmI think we need a capaldi figure and peter Cushing doctor
KORSAIR
March 1st, 2014 - 12:49pmI would love a Peter Cushing figure the only version I have of him is a 40mm metal one.
VespiformsSting
March 2nd, 2014 - 12:41amI agree with you Korsair Peter Cushings role in 50th anniversary has been even more overlooked than the classic era… A Peter Cushing figure and a replica of that smashing saucer from the second film – it should be the first release in a doctor who equivalent of the star trek ship collection….
VespiformsSting
March 2nd, 2014 - 12:41amA figure of the Valeyard is overdue too he was after all the Doctor ….
Hellbelly
March 3rd, 2014 - 8:08pmThe Cushing Doctor is a different licence to the TV stuff, which is why we’ve not seen any movie Daleks from CO. Last time I checked it was held by Product Enterprise, (but that as a couple of years ago, so it may be up fro grabs).
Dr Who Society
March 1st, 2014 - 9:45amI have every single doctor figure (11 doctors set and soon the war doctor), assuming they don’t bring out a 5″ capaldi. do u think its a bad idea to by the one of him that’s 3.75 inch with his crombie coat in September? (I don’t collection 3.75 inch figures, I have clara)
AlexanderOP
March 1st, 2014 - 8:50pmWas it said somewhere there would be a crombie coat capaldi?
Dr Who Society
March 2nd, 2014 - 12:14amYes, at 2014 toy fair, it will be 3.75 inches, and although it will be released in September, it will probably be shown online earlier.

February 28th, 2014 - 11:10pmPre-ordered mine this afternoon from fp.co.uk. Can’t wait for 11th March!
the astronaut of death
February 28th, 2014 - 4:32pmCan’t wait to get this figure it looks awsome!
It will be my first order of fp to are they good
The other doctor figure
February 28th, 2014 - 4:23pmHas anyone made a custom hurt tardis yet? I have just added the console room to the tardis, all I need to do now is paint over the St ambulance sign and paint the floor grey and voila! A completed John hurt Harris 🙂 :-). 🙂
The other doctor figure
February 28th, 2014 - 4:24pmI mean tardis lol:-) 🙂

February 28th, 2014 - 5:14pmI have customised the interior of a tennant playset, and modified and dirtied up the 9/10 exterior, and added the backdrop.

February 28th, 2014 - 9:03pmi had to handraw the interuor as my printerkdoesn’t work
cyber immortality
February 28th, 2014 - 9:42amjust gone on forbidden planet uk and the dates changed from 28th to the 11th of march not happy got my hopes up for it coming
cyber immortality
February 28th, 2014 - 9:48ambooboo do you know any information on this reason of the dates changing
booboo
February 28th, 2014 - 9:53amno idea, put down the weather last I heard yet the 3.75″ have arrived ahead of their quoted release date (infact they seem to have arrived when the war Doctor should have)
These Underground toys items tend to get announced months ahead of their release so i would always take dates as an “estimate”
cyber immortality
February 28th, 2014 - 9:55amokay then thanks booboo

StetsonDoctor
February 27th, 2014 - 8:06pmI know this sounds REALLY stupid, but if I wanted to take McGanns head on this figure and place it in the Churchill figure, would they be compatible????
The Funky Chicken

March 6th, 2014 - 7:09pmCan I just ask why

March 6th, 2014 - 7:17pm😕 ?
Radburn
February 27th, 2014 - 10:03amReally like the ‘Moment’ accessory ~ Very nicely done…
Exterminator
February 27th, 2014 - 6:36pmI agree but instead of the pointless McGann head, the moment accessory should’ve come with a detachable ‘big red button.’
AlexanderOP
February 27th, 2014 - 9:59pmThe McGann head isn’t pointless.
UDWF1
February 26th, 2014 - 10:10pmWow, the new images look great! Can’t wait to get my hands on one!
