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.

March 21st, 2014 - 4:11pmI find it interesting that the weapon has that ‘invasion of time’ style pattern of gears and cogs…wonder what the significance is….

March 20th, 2014 - 5:32pmBooboo, I understand the situation with the stocktake at fpi. I live in North London. How long do u think the postage will take. R they reliable, r they as quick as BBC shop. Thanks.

RexisnotyourDoctor
March 20th, 2014 - 2:14pmReceived an email from FP.com informing me that their stock is arriving “next week”, so I’m not expecting my order to be fulfilled until early April now. They at least had the decency to apologise for the delay this time, but I’ll be ordering from FPI in future.
Still don’t understand how one branch of the same company gets the item so much earlier than the other, or why FP are putting these out in their shops BEFORE they honour online orders that were placed in good faith MONTHS ago.
booboo
March 20th, 2014 - 2:18pmits not the same company, they just share a similar name after splitting up years ago
for whatever reason one is obviously getting priority over the other.
RexisnotyourDoctor
March 20th, 2014 - 2:25pmMaybe one of them should change their name then, or consolidate their online business. They obviously still share some connections in order for this item to be an FP “exclusive”.
It’s a complete lottery trying to figure out which site to order from because customer service is equally poor/erratic and when both list the same item as initially arriving on the same date across both sites, how do customers know the best site to order from? I have been reluctant to order from FPI since their dodgy credit card issues a few years ago,
VespiformsSting
March 20th, 2014 - 3:07pmI agree Rex if you look at the star trek maxi busts as an example the dates they’re expected are totally different and one company shows some of the busts as discontinued…Im lso miffed that they show items on the sites which you cant get in the stores or at least not my local one…the titan dr who 3 inch vinyls being the prime example. I also had problems with my card after using it at forbidden planet and Ive also ordered stuff which they said they couldnt get even though it was still on their site…
Dalek Spectre
March 20th, 2014 - 1:03pmArrived in the post today and the figure is outstanding, the 8th doctor head is very nice too 🙂 the moment is very well detailed an the sonic is pretty nifty too. I pre-ordered from forbiddenplanet.co.uk so if you pre-ordered there as well expect this in the post soon 🙂
cyber immortality
March 20th, 2014 - 1:35pmdid it come by royal mail?
Dalek Spectre
March 20th, 2014 - 2:01pmi believe so
lee moone
March 20th, 2014 - 11:50amDon’t know why they added McGanns head as a spare, should have been Chris’s. Hurts Dr looks good thought.
Next I’d like to see a version of 8th Dr in his new costume along with a young spare Hurt head.
On a different note… how about a Yeti control figure as seen in Web that bleeps? or that is USB stick?
Likethisdayofthedoctor
March 20th, 2014 - 5:18pmI agree. But we got a new head sculpt for the 8th Doctor, which is incredibly detailed. But if you want a 9th Doctor head, then all you need to do is:
Get a 9th Doctor figure, cut the head off, with a sharp knife, (but it will still be connected to chest so don’t cut all of the plastic off on the bottom of the neck) and make sure it is the same neck length as the 8th Doctor head, and drill a hole into the neck, so that it can go onto the figure. Because that’s what I did, and it looks brilliant!

March 19th, 2014 - 6:21pmI picked the last two up from Cardiff. It is truly a thing to behold. I am not talking about the figure or the Moment. That 8th Doctor head screams for a new body. Its brilliant!!!

March 20th, 2014 - 7:21amYou’re very lucky.
Cos on Tuesday, I drove all the way up to Cardiff, and I bought three!
And the guy on the counter said ’17 out of the 24 we’ve had, have all been sold.’
ALL YOU GUYS ARE GONNA HAVE TO BE QUICK – THEY’RE SELLING OUT ONE BY ONE!!

Hello
As we are in the process of doing a stocktake this will not be despatched until late next week or early the following week. This depends on how quickly we can get the stocktake done.

March 19th, 2014 - 8:48amRight, yesterday, I drove all the way up to Cardiff, and bought more than one of these figures.
AMAZING!!!
I have also cut the head off of a 9th Doctor figure, and drilled a hole into it, and put it onto this figure, it is BRILLIANT!
Right, for details, arms and lower legs can do 360 turn, the scarf is removable, and no, there isn’t a little hole in the buckle thing on his chest for the screwdriver.
The Moment Box is incredibly detailed, as is the 8th Doctor head.

March 18th, 2014 - 7:09pmSo the screwdriver doesn’t actually include a red tip painted on? I would find that a bit strange but it’s not like he can point it outwards with those hands is it, only upwards or sideways.
