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.

January 6th, 2014 - 8:10pmThe picture of the figure on the Entertainment Earth site is probably the best one we’ll get prior to the release of the figure. Really looking forward to it.
I’m just hoping for a 5″ Capaldi figure. A Night of the Doctor Eighth Doctor and Series 7B Eleventh Doctor would be greatly appreciated too, but that is a push.
dalek eternal
January 6th, 2014 - 6:14pmI hope they make his tardis to go with him they would only need to repaint the 10th dr flight control tardis
Dalek the Supreme
January 6th, 2014 - 11:24pmThey would also need 60’s era walls.

Doctor 2011
January 6th, 2014 - 7:47pmMatt was apparently 13 so I l just add a David rennet on the line up so after my tenth doc there will be another 10 doc
Anonymous
January 6th, 2014 - 9:13pmAh..well, don’t get confused with regenerations and actual incarnations. 10 used two regenerations but the meta crises Doctor is not an incarnation. 10 siphoned off his first regeneration energy into his hand (a bio-matching receptacle), before he physically changed. His severed hand grew into another Doctor after Donna touched it whilst the regenerative energy still existed. Therefore the meta crisis doctor is freak creation and not an actual incarnation. 13 regenerations but 12 Doctors (including the War Doctor).
Anonymous
January 6th, 2014 - 10:49pmActually, I made a typo…there were 12 regenerations (2 used on 10th Doctor) and 13 doctors (inc john hurt and peter Capaldi)

January 6th, 2014 - 4:32pmIt could of been Eccleston Head 🙄
Anonymous
January 6th, 2014 - 4:54pmIndeed – a nice easy custom to make though (depending if the neck joints on this figure and a standard 9th Doctor figure are similar).
Boil, Pop and Swap 🙂
Jamie
January 6th, 2014 - 5:06pmIt could have been, but we have plenty of them. A new eighth Dr is better.
the mr master
January 6th, 2014 - 5:13pmboil? why?
Anonymous
January 6th, 2014 - 7:16pmIt’s a method of getting the heads off figures…place into a mug of boiling water for a minute or two and then pop off the head.
Mr Clever
January 7th, 2014 - 10:43amWhen I get mine I’m gonna put the eighth Doctor head on the tv movie version
KORSAIR
January 6th, 2014 - 4:05pmPre order is what’s meant, it’s the only sure way of getting one as they will sell out fast.
Maffew
January 5th, 2014 - 1:31amWhy can’t they do a 5 inch Clara while they’re at it too?! And maybe just carry on doing all figures in 5 inch format seeing as they’re better that way…?
Slitheen50
January 6th, 2014 - 3:01pmWho knows why they have not made a 5 inch Clara, most people seem to want one, maybe they’re release her at this years SDCC? After all companions figures of Leela and Ace were announced there over the past couple of years.
Gallifrey Falls No More
January 6th, 2014 - 3:27pmJohn hurt is counted as ‘classic’, and they are still releasing classic figures, but, as far as we know, no series 7+ figures will be made in 5″.
Gallifrey Falls No More
January 6th, 2014 - 3:28pmI hope, though, that they count her meeting the old Doctors in NOTD as classic and release her.
Anonymous
January 6th, 2014 - 3:36pmIt’s not that John Hurt’s Doctor is counted as “classic” (he originates from Steven Moffat’s time on the show so he’s not classic), it is that UT wanted a figure of him.
There are really no limitations on what they can do, it is just that CO are not producing any 5” figures off their own back, so they will need to be exclusives and that range mainly focuses on older figures (but that doesn’t stop the occasional modern figure).
Mr Clever
January 7th, 2014 - 10:48amI really hope they release another wave or two
Series 7b Doctor
Clara
10th Doctor with better articulation
Peter Capaldi
The Interface moment thing
New Timelord
Doctor from the Snowmen
Zygon
Kate Stewart
Doctor from the Time of the Doctor
Old Doctor
Very Old Doctor
Amy
Wooden Cyberman

January 3rd, 2014 - 1:16pmMaybe it’s a new figure hidden in plain sight,they’ve only gave you the head sculpt of mcgann and not the body and they’ve left us speculating the oldest question ? And all will be revealed in feburary……
Anonymous
January 3rd, 2014 - 1:11pmIt would be nice if it came with swapable arms
Gallifrey Falls No More
January 4th, 2014 - 8:50pmSwappable with what?
Gallifrey Falls No More
January 6th, 2014 - 3:28pmWhat would you swap them for? Slitheen Arms?
KORSAIR
January 6th, 2014 - 4:07pmI think he means similar to the Jo Grant figure so you can remove the coat.
Anonymous
January 6th, 2014 - 4:44pmYes…..! I’m glad some one got it so you could swap the coat and have him in shirt and waist coat….!

January 6th, 2014 - 5:54pm…oh…
ZygonVisuals
January 2nd, 2014 - 9:37pmRight 2 things
1. If thats McGann then whys he in Hurts clothes
2. or that ‘McGann’ head is actually Young Hurt
Gallifrey Falls No More
January 4th, 2014 - 8:52pmThey wanted to add something to the John Hurt figure, so they added a McGann swappable head, even if it is not 100% accurate.
Jaffa Cakes
January 6th, 2014 - 8:07pmI think Character Options will have just been told by the BBC that the War Doctor is an incarnation between the Eighth and Ninth Doctor and we will see the regeneration into him. They probably just naturally assumed that McGann would wear the War Doctor costume for the regen.

January 2nd, 2014 - 10:58amWhat about some paradigm Daleks?
JackDWF
January 6th, 2014 - 6:00pmThat would be perfect if they released it
Dalek the Supreme
January 6th, 2014 - 11:27pmWe don’t need more bronze Daleks in the new scale, since there are already three variants with three more on the way. I’d rather have us some of the metallic New Paradigm Daleks, so a truly modern army of Daleks could be created.
ieusa
January 1st, 2014 - 8:31pmmaybe the mcgann head is part of a collect and build,
maybe the body and the arms and legs are to be released with other figures to come in the future!!
ieusa
December 31st, 2013 - 9:16pm!!!!!!!!!! cool figure
BaZzA
December 27th, 2013 - 9:41amI think underground toys should make a set for the time of the doctor in 5inch, they should have the eleventh doctor in new costume and a changeable head (peter capaldi) and a handles as an accessory
Anonymous
December 28th, 2013 - 8:44amDon’t forget a Clara figure
drwhofan209753

Connor
December 28th, 2013 - 9:53pmI would want a Time of the Doctor wave like they did with the 10th doctors final story (End of Time). And all these figures in 5 inch.I would have a:
Eleventh doctor with new suit with handles aswell. also interchangeable head with old doctor and a cane.
Clara
12th doctor in Matt Smiths body
A 2 pack:New Cybermen (2013) and Wooden Cybermen
Silence
Connor
December 28th, 2013 - 10:05pmI would also have a 50th anniversary wave! in 5 inch. like they did in the 10th doctors final (End of Time). I would have a:
Eleventh Doctor with new suit
Clara
A Zygon
Eigth Doctor (Night of the Doctor)!
A 2 pack: Tenth Doctor and John hurt without his jacket
A 2 pack: Timelord warrior and a Dalek
Kate stewart
Queen Elizabeth I
Connor
December 28th, 2013 - 10:07pmAnd a 9th Doctor head in the War Doctors body (John Hurt)! That would be so awesome to have that!

December 30th, 2013 - 5:57amHow did I forget BAD WOLF ROSE! And your other opinion should definitely be made by character options.
TheExtremeBlueTARDIS
December 31st, 2013 - 10:49pmTo be honest, a Time of the Doctor figure wave is possible, since it was done with Tennant’s last episode. It would have been even more likely if the main scale was still in 5″. My figure choices would be:
Tasha Lem
Clara Oswald (with cracker)
Eleventh Doctor (with two changeable heads, the aged and Capaldi versions plus comes with Handles)
Wooden Cyberman
Silence (new outfit)
TheExtremeBlueTARDIS
December 31st, 2013 - 10:52pmOh and I would love a 50th Anniversary wave, also still possible since they don’t get released this early. My choices in it would be:
Eleventh Doctor (new outfit)
Clara Oswald
2013 Zygon (with that 3D Painting cube thingy)
Damaged Time War Dalek
Bad Wolf Rose (with open Moment Accesory)
Time Lord Warrior (with blaster)

January 1st, 2014 - 5:02pmI’d like all those figures, but if they did get realsesd the would problaly be 3.75

December 24th, 2013 - 5:01amWRONG! SONIC! SCREWDRIVER! Come on, Character, pull it together!

December 26th, 2013 - 8:13pmi was so confused when i saw that they are too lazy to release a new sonic accessory
The astronaut of death
December 26th, 2013 - 8:30pmThis is only a proto type
Explosive Cookie
December 29th, 2013 - 11:48amThis was made long before the 50th anniversary, so they wouldn’t of seen the sonic yet.
Danny Brown
January 1st, 2014 - 5:04pm@Explosive Cookie If it was made a long time before tdotd how would they know about the 8th doctor returning?
the astronaut of death
January 1st, 2014 - 5:09pmthey probably got told
WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby
January 1st, 2014 - 5:39pmWhich is precisely why we might be expecting an Eighth Doctor from Night of The Doctor since they have the Headsculpt made to come with this.
The Holographic Doctor
January 2nd, 2014 - 12:07amCalm down it’s just a prototype. I think it will probably be red in the real product.
Anonymous
December 23rd, 2013 - 5:15pmThey should release a
1. 11th doctor and curator
2. Clara and Rose
3. 10th doctor and elisabeth
4 .8th doctor in new costume and grace
5inch
doctorrivertardis
December 23rd, 2013 - 1:23pmHopefully this means they have gotten rid of the 3.75″ scale and returned permanently to the 5″ scale

December 23rd, 2013 - 2:41pmI don’t think so wave 2 is nearly ready and this is technically ‘classic’
Whoisthedoctor
December 21st, 2013 - 7:11pmI need this figure. I think character needs to make a doctor figure from the snowmen and a doctor figure with the series 7 part 2 costume, anyone agree!
BlueBox2013
December 22nd, 2013 - 12:01pmi would love that!

December 12th, 2013 - 3:30pmNot as likelyto do Rose as Clara. I would rather Clara because I already have a rose, although the Bad Wolf Rose would be good.

Not too sure on which Dalek type or variant you could have. Maybe a gold Dalek, with battle damage from The Day Of The Doctor episode… any other suggestions?
