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.

DOCTOR WHO ONE
February 12th, 2015 - 7:24amOh, this is that ‘other’ Forbidden Planet, not the Forbidden Planet with all the shops found in London, Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Coventry, Croydon, Liverpool, Newcastle and Southhampton which is what I thought [why the hell is there two companies called ‘Forbidden Planet’ anyways ?, does anyone know why ? . . . . damn confusing !!].
If this was the Forbidden Planet I go to up London, I’d happily buy it now, cos I never got it during it’s original release.
The Who Shop in East Ham have this, but I don’t think some of us want to pay £49.99 for it, and no offense to the owners of the shop which I’ve been going too since the 90’s growing up when they used to have the shop opposite East Ham train station, but a lot of the really cool items they sell are a bit expensive.
But if Forbidden Planet in London had this again for £14.99, I’d happily buy it now cheaper.
booboo
February 12th, 2015 - 10:48amthe company split due to difficulties between the owners and are now completely separate, but yes its a bit confusing for the man in the street so to speak
For some reason only co.uk has carried the exclusives for a while now

February 23rd, 2015 - 5:25pmIt seems odd how ‘international’ is within our country, but of course, Forbidden Planet originated in America (probably), so it’s international to thenn.

February 11th, 2015 - 9:01pmBooboo, how much is this now? Is it still over 30 quid?
booboo
February 11th, 2015 - 9:03pmno £14.99 at the momnet
MrHaloWho
February 23rd, 2015 - 5:27pmYou see that thing at the top? The orange underlined writing? That’s called a link. If you click on it, you will travel far away to the Forbidden Planet International site.

February 11th, 2015 - 7:03pmVery tempted to get this… Even though I don’t collect the figures. Is it worth £15, for someone who just might keep it on his desk?
booboo
February 11th, 2015 - 7:04pmone of the best figures ever
Sam Richard Bentley
February 11th, 2015 - 7:12pmI think I’m going to pass, actually. Thinking of investing in some Funko Pop Vinyls before the Who ones come out later this year. I only have about £60 in my account at the moment.

February 11th, 2015 - 6:22pmThank you ordered another set!
whotoys
February 11th, 2015 - 4:52pmI got this when it came out last year I saw loads of them in Glasgow back in October I thought about picking another one up but I realised I had one already so I don’t need another one

February 11th, 2015 - 4:43pmI snapped that beauty up…good timing as I was also ordering one of the new motion Daleks and a couple of Wave 4A figures…the postage doesn’t seem so bad when its for multiple items 🙂
the real doctor
February 11th, 2015 - 4:38pmid only buy this set if it was a two figure pack.
the war doctor and the 8th doctor(dark eyes)
or if it came with a eccelston head rather than mcgann
MrHaloWho

Shawsy
December 3rd, 2014 - 2:26pmI really wanted this figure but the price is sky high I just wish the people would stop buying loads of items like this so they can sell them for loads & so stock runs out very quick, Im going to try & make a deal with someone on this site I know for vintage toys swap something very collectable for one of these.

February 11th, 2015 - 4:30pmI know what you mean I hate when people buy 2 1 to use and 1 to have on display and leave others with none luckily I’ve got this and the time of the doctor and impossible set but others miss out

February 21st, 2015 - 4:42amHi there, It’s currently on forbiddenplanet for £15
the real doctor
November 26th, 2014 - 6:39pmthey need to make a dark eyes 8th doctor figure
Anonymous
October 13th, 2014 - 8:14ami got it in FP Cardiff yesterday! last one in shop
DS
November 14th, 2014 - 2:50amStill no proper Night of the Doctor Eighth Doctor figure 🙁
DS
November 26th, 2014 - 7:50pmWe need a night of the doctor 8th Doctor figure. But I take your point the current head sculpt lends itself more to a dark eyes figure 🙂
Hello rusty
October 11th, 2014 - 7:09pmGot it today from forbidden planet Glasgow . If you are planning to buy it there word of warning I had to go to the desk as there were none out they gave me it there but they are out now
JDPManjoume
February 11th, 2015 - 4:06pmThat’s funny…I was there not less than half an hour ago and they had a few sitting behind the Time of the Doctor sets.
Aaron Courtney
October 11th, 2014 - 6:04pmIt’s a shame they don’t do it more in the UK in stores like: ARGOS OR TOYS R US
MrHaloWho
December 11th, 2014 - 7:08amHaha. Toys ‘R’ Us getting more 5″ Doctor Who figures? That’s funny.
XD
finn townley
October 6th, 2014 - 5:37pmIts a good thing it was back in stock but why can’t they put other figures back in stock
Doctorb23
October 5th, 2014 - 4:54pmOrdered one on Thursday from FPI but haven’t had any order conformation yet… Should I be worried?
Owen
October 5th, 2014 - 5:02pmThey are closed on sundays i think.
mike25
October 6th, 2014 - 4:41pmThey have limited stock at Worlds Apart in Liverpool at £14.99. Just bought two and there are several left. No on line buying so first come first served.Good luck.
John Smith
October 5th, 2014 - 12:05pmThis is a great figure. But, I’m confused as to why they made an ‘updated’ McGann head for a costume that he is never seen wearing on air. Instead they should have made a seperate McGann figure, or, maybe this was a test run like they did with releasing the Peter Davison ‘regeneration’ figure before the Tom Baker Season 18 one was.
Trenzalore
October 5th, 2014 - 12:09pmIt’s because when they made it they hadn’t actually seen the story so after seeing it instead of removing it they decided to leave it in as a nice little extra.
Balakin
October 5th, 2014 - 12:11pmmy real problem is that the updated McGann head doesn’t fit on the 11 Doctors set figure.
DS
November 26th, 2014 - 7:53pmYes, I was disappointed to find the head didn’t fit the original 8th Doctor figure properly. However, the head sculpt lends itself more to a dark eyes figure anyway. A devoted Night of the Doctor figure would require a decent head sculpt reflective of Paul Mcganns television portrayal
Doctor RevWho
October 4th, 2014 - 12:52pmJust ordered one, hopefully it will be here soon.
Antonio Zambonini
October 3rd, 2014 - 1:00pmone thing im not understand is this coming back in stop then being sold out but why is that pass dr who classic sets ie Rembrance impire and davros figures never got restocked ?

October 3rd, 2014 - 12:57pmReally Ohh no can’t belive it that I was only in Glasgow in august 🙁
George
October 3rd, 2014 - 12:55amSo are they properly making these again, or is this a one off thing? I wonder how long they’ll continue to produce it before it’s gone for good?
VespiformsSting
October 2nd, 2014 - 8:11pmI wonder if that rumour there were running out was a very crafty sales ploy……First time Ive bought two of anything cos I thought it was a rarity….
TheIbbotron

October 2nd, 2014 - 6:33amI’m so annoyed right now, I just received a email explaing that I’m not gonna be receiveing this because it’s out of stock but I ordered this when it was in stock at forbidden planet, so I suppose I must of ordered it late AGAIN!
The Silent Silent

DalekAgent
