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.

    This is in stock now at the Forbidden Planet shop in Cardiff. I just picked one up at lunchtime and there were at least 4 more available. It’s a fine looking figure.

    Just phoned Forbidden Planet regarding this, apparently the reason why it wasn’t avalible on Tuesday is that there was a production problem and that they still don’t have a confirmed delivery date for it.

      That’s what I thought the man told me, looks like we aren’t any step closer to receiving it.

    • WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby

      March 15th, 2014 - 6:59pm

      Or he might have said packaging problem which is probably more likely.

      Sorry for the confusion.

    • SpiderDalek

      March 16th, 2014 - 1:54am

      There is one for sale on Ebay.
      I think it is a packaging error because at New York Toy Fair the packaging labelled the moment as ‘Time Cube’ accessory and on the Ebay item the packaging says ‘The Moment’ accessory.
      They probably had to correct the packaging.

    • Likethisdayofthedoctor

      March 16th, 2014 - 8:17am

      Yeah, SpiderDalek, I think you’re right. Most probably is packaging problems.

    • booboo

      March 16th, 2014 - 9:22am

      the ones that arrived weeks ago in Australia have the correct packaging

      They were expecting them last week, someone must know here they are in the supply chain.

      Well now that’s been clarified (again sorry for any confusion, I almost forgot what the Man said) when can we expect Forbidden Planet to start shipping these out?

    • Clarkey3262

    Been waiting (via both branches of Forbidden Planet since 2012 for the Biff Bang Pow Dalek. Finally lost patience, cancelled my order and ordered it from the US, it arrived this morning! 😀

    Will do the same soon with the Titan Genesis sculpture -again announced in 2012 by Forbidden Planet, each deadline comes, goes and is revised with no apology. Titan themselves did reply at last (but only when, after repeated e-mails, I mentioned cancelling my order!) – they anticipate end of June for the Genesis…i wouldn’t hold yo breath!!! 😀

      You had the same problem as me! I cancelled my BBP Dalek Order with FP over a year ago ~ I ordered from an ebay US dealer & was very pleased how great the figure was when I got it. Especially as the line had just been cancelled & this was the last of their figures that I needed…

    This constant delay is even more annoying since the US and Australia have it first!! It should come to Britain first as Doctor Who is a British show; if I pre-order something I expect it to be on time or at the very least not delayed so much. Whats the damn hold-up?! I assume its to do with the Suppliers perhaps but even so this is really irritating!

    Didn’t Douglas Adams say something about deadlines?

    “I love deadlines ~ I like the sound they make as they whoosh past”

    I have given up on release dates ages back. They just pick a date out of the air then never stick to it ~ If it goes past several months I cancel it & Order elsewhere.

    I was in FP Southampton last weekend ~ Saw an item I had on Order from the US for 10 months. I bought it there & then, went home & cancelled the US Order…

      Forbidden Planet:

      It is not known yet, it’s not even on their website. I have phoned them (Bristol and London) and they don’t know when it’s gonna be on their shelf; as the suppliers have not confirmed a ship date

      Forbidden Planet International:

      I have phoned them (Cardiff) and they said that it’s likely that it will be on the shelf tomorrow or Saturday.

      They probably will have it when it comes out as they get most other FP exclusives like the classic peri 2 pack, the victory of the daleks set etc. so they probably will but maybe not straight away.

      Good point. I felt the same about most of the product CO put out last year. By the time it finally arrived a lot of the anticipation had drained away. Particularly as most of it arrived all at the same time at the END of the anniversary year…

      So if we DO get a Capaldi 5″ figure as anSDCC exclusive this summer (and I think it’s increasingly unlikely), at this rate if we’re lucky it’ll ship in time for Christmas:P

      Yes, but when is “soon”? Another week? Another fortnight?

      It’s not the delay that frustrates/annoys me so much as the fact that FP didn’t update their stock status UNTIL the day it was supposed to arrive. They must have known *before* today that they wouldn’t have it. And let’s not forget, *that* was a delay from the original date of February 28th. British fans and collectors seem to be right at the bottom of the list of priorities these days, if indeed we’re on the list at all.

      The head itself looks pretty good. I put mine on an 8Th doctor body though, because yes, it does look a bit odd on war’s body. 9th head on war as a regeneration figure looks cool though.
