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.

September 4th, 2014 - 4:12pmTo be honest when I started collecting doctor who action figures I thought it was a pretty niche thing. I knew some people did it but I did not realize it was this big. Seeing the demand around this figure really shows just how large this collecting fandom is.

September 4th, 2014 - 4:17pmI think the big thing with this figure is its a “one off”
A must have figure in any Doctor Who collection
A lot of other releases you can pick and choose between variants

September 4th, 2014 - 3:43pmI ordered mine ‘buy it now’ last night on eBay from a co. called Radar Toys in New Jersey for around £35 all in inc. postage. Been dispatched already so I reckon it should be here within a couple of weeks. If the above company sells out quick (I believe they’re based in Suffolk), you can always use Radar who I dealt with. It just goes to show that it’s worth waiting and hanging rather than paying silly money on Amazon and eBay like what’s happened in the past. £50-60 quid… No chance I would ever pay that when the original RRP was only £15.

September 4th, 2014 - 3:47pmOk… So it wasn’t in based New Jersey; it was Oregon. And it was only £29 all in! Bargain!
booboo
September 4th, 2014 - 3:54pmif they declare the full value and it gets picked up by customs that will cost you another £14 on top
risky business ordering from overseas

August 29th, 2014 - 9:29amAh yes. ABOUT TIME! I know its only. But! I did phone fp and they said to me a few months ago to me that they are going to try and get restocks. As well if anyone else goes to Manchester FP leave a comment. I so will betaking no chances on leaving this. Apparently according to Fp. ” Were trying to get the manufactures to go back into making more stock” that’s all I got off them on the phone but they did say they were trying hard to get them back in stock. So Who- nose. Just praying they do! Then I will have ago at some scenes from TDOTD. 🙂
Anthonydoctorwhofan
August 29th, 2014 - 9:32amWow – on Amazon this figure that’s only 15 is being priced at 55quid wow. Waste of money that 55 for that. Just hope fp will get them back in over in the UK 🙂 Please…

August 28th, 2014 - 4:06pmManaged to get one off eBay before they sold out! So that’s the Time of the Doctor set, The Impossible Set and this that I’m waiting for! Feel spoilt but don’t regret it!

August 28th, 2014 - 12:46pmhow much was it?
MrHaloWho
August 28th, 2014 - 12:58pmFrom Entertainment Earth, it’s about £13 + a LOT of postage.
booboo
August 28th, 2014 - 12:59pmdid they ship it to the UK? – i tried last night and it would not expect my UK address?
Anonymous
August 28th, 2014 - 4:16pmAlert No Shipping Method Available:
Item(s) in your cart have restricted shipping and cannot be shipped to the address you selected.
This is the message that came up when I tried to order. MrHaloWho how did you manage to order yours to the UK? Final value inc. postage came to $53 but it wouldn’t let me progress with the order unless I changed my postage address.
booboo
August 28th, 2014 - 4:19pmthat happened to me
$53 is ok that’s about £32 and their price is below import costs as well
bet this is down to licensing again
Anonymous
August 28th, 2014 - 4:25pmApologies if I sound thick but what has licensing got to do with it? It’s a product that they say they’re prepared to ship internationally so what’s the big deal? My money is as good as anyone else’s.
booboo
August 28th, 2014 - 4:32pmas its supplied by underground toys under a USA licence Entertainment Earth may take the view that they cannot ship to the UK as it would “tread on UK Retailers toes”
Forbidden planet International wont ship exclusives to the USA for the same reasons
May sound stupid but others will tell you there are many items that retailers wont ship to the UK because of “Licensing restrictions”
some companies obviously turn a blind eye
Anonymous
August 28th, 2014 - 4:35pmCheers BooBoo. What a joke! I’ve just emailed Entertainment Earth to ask why so I’ll post the reply once I get it. I’m still wondering how MrHaloWho got his though.
booboo
August 28th, 2014 - 4:38pmyes i would be interest in what they say if you could leave a comment when they reply
on another note the USA was completely excluded from some classic sets a few years ago because FP could not ship to them
Ollie
August 29th, 2014 - 8:23amDear Oliver,
Thank you for your e-mail. At this time, the licensor of this item, The BBC, does not authorize Entertainment Earth to deliver this merchandise outside of the USA. We cannot deliver internationally. The only option here would be if we could deliver your desired items to an associate of yours in the USA. They could then deliver it to you in your country as a private individual. Sorry that we cannot assist more so.
Please feel free to contact us at any time with any issues as they arise. Thank you for your interest in Entertainment Earth.
booboo
August 29th, 2014 - 8:44amexactly as i thought – EE are sticking to the rules,as do think geek
all this does however is to give ebay and Amazon sellers an excuse to inflate the prices
Ollie
August 29th, 2014 - 8:48amA lot of rare sets are being reissued again for sale at retail prices; time warrior, invasion of time, keeper of traken etc. Only matter of time before war doctor comes out again I reckon.
booboo
August 29th, 2014 - 8:56amnot rare in the USA, WHOna have all those sets reduced, some drastically – UT have probably dumped a load out in the UK as no one else wants them.
WHOna also have many sets reduced that have become rare in the UK.

August 28th, 2014 - 10:42amSo glad I got one the first time around because £78 is far too much
The Living Shadow
August 28th, 2014 - 9:50amHmm… should I sell mine now? as it’ll probably be worth less in a few years now…
CassiusX
August 28th, 2014 - 8:48amI’ve got my fingers crossed that they’ll be re-released in Britain soon.

August 28th, 2014 - 9:34amSo happy i got one but i feel sorry 4 the ones who don’t have one yet!!!!!!Hope you all get one.

booboo
August 28th, 2014 - 8:58amwe are taking the back seat now merchandise wise that’s for sure
DoctorWho50
August 28th, 2014 - 11:15amMy guess would be the US hasn’t had much doctor who merchandise swung their way in a few years so you can imagine the number of sales in the U.S
booboo
August 28th, 2014 - 11:21amwith the expectation of Characters 3.75″ line everything is turning up their or in Australia 1st now
there is while new novelty line from 50fifty that will be available to USA and Aus his year and they are not even going to market it in the Uk until 2015
there is far more exclusive USA stuff now than UK

August 28th, 2014 - 4:03amAny sign of anything for Australia, Booboo?

August 28th, 2014 - 12:10amIts funny because they still have war doctor figures lying around in Australian stores from months ago.
Sebatron
August 28th, 2014 - 12:20amWhere? I need one! 🙂

August 28th, 2014 - 11:38amNot on ABC Online but have seen a few in stores like Karrinyup in Western Australia.
Sebatron
August 28th, 2014 - 12:02pmIs there a website?
booboo
August 28th, 2014 - 12:15pmyet the UK is crying out for them
Sebatron
August 28th, 2014 - 12:35pmI live in South Australia. Does any one know where I can find one?
George
August 27th, 2014 - 11:58pmSo does this mean the figure is a lot more common/ cheap now, or not really for UK buyers?

August 27th, 2014 - 11:34pmWill you still need to pay any additional duties on that?
Radburn
August 27th, 2014 - 11:42pmYes, it’s over the £15 Customs Limit…
Anonymous
August 28th, 2014 - 12:13amHow much will that be?
booboo
August 28th, 2014 - 5:57amabout £12 extra if it gets picked up
Doctorgeorgebaker
August 27th, 2014 - 10:35pmSee this is why forbidden planet should be banned from making exclucive figures, there always overpriced and small quantities
Radburn
August 28th, 2014 - 9:34amFP don’t make them, CO do ~ By way of UT’s decision making process in the US
FP are given the Exclusive right to sell them in the UK as a Business Proposition
£14.99p is not overpriced whereas a certain other figure at £30 certainly is
They weren’t produced in small quantities ~ A minimum run of at least 90,000 would be financially viable
Cpl Hicks
August 27th, 2014 - 10:30pmAnyone know what the tax would be from the US?
booboo
August 27th, 2014 - 10:34pmfrom the ebay seller £42 total if it gets picked up
EE wont ship to UK – typical as their price is below import costs so would only be about £31
whona would work out about £46 i think but you will need to check their postal cost
we really do get shafted all ways round here – we don’t mind vat its the £8 handling that’s the killer
booboo
August 28th, 2014 - 5:58amat 20% vat to the total price (including shipping) then £8 costs
planetofthewhovians
August 27th, 2014 - 10:00pmI’m hoping for a re-release in the UK as I didn’t get one in time
booboo
August 27th, 2014 - 10:01pmso are a lot of people but if FP knew they were coming i would have thought they would have had them up for pre order
