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.

The Other Doctor Action Figure.
The Other Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver Accessory.

February 18th, 2014 - 11:10amI agree. The Mcgann head isn’t 100% accurate, but it is a ‘bonus’.

February 18th, 2014 - 9:34amLooks awesome
Melkur
February 18th, 2014 - 9:28amI think that’s one of the best figures they’ve ever done. Truly brilliant!
Heart of the Tardis
February 18th, 2014 - 9:20amIm sure I’ve seen one on twitter somewhere and it just doesnt look good at all.It makes the proportions look weird
Heart of the Tardis
February 18th, 2014 - 9:09amVery good detail (especially on the coat) but unfortunately Paul Mgcann’s head just looks weird on it.
booboo
February 18th, 2014 - 9:16amis there a picture around with his head on it then?
Ian
February 18th, 2014 - 8:51amAwesome. Now how about the 11th Doctor to go with this followed by the 12th. And why not re-release the 10th Doctors Tardis re-painted for the War Doctor.
SpiderDalek
February 16th, 2014 - 2:28pmUnfortunately once again Forbidden Planet have delayed this figure from 28th February to 10th March now. Forbidden Planet International still list as 28th but could change soon enough.
Very annoying to be honest. This happens with every release through Forbidden Planet.
Heart of the Tardis
February 15th, 2014 - 10:24pmIn my opinion this should lead to a War Doctor and 8th Doctor in 3.75 inch and a Dark eyes 8th Doctor. What does everyone think
Dalek Just
February 2nd, 2014 - 4:20pmWhy are C.O relesing this in 5inch and relesing the rest of the 50th figures in wave 2 of 3.75 figures?
Is it because all the outher doctors are relested in 5 ?
booboo
February 2nd, 2014 - 4:26pmC.O aren’t releasing it, Underground toys are
Hellbelly
February 18th, 2014 - 9:32amAlso it kind of makes sense if you think about it, as the War Doctor is in a way the last “Classic” Doctor.
The Day of The Doctors
February 2nd, 2014 - 9:57amThe 8th Doctors head does not go well with this
booboo
February 2nd, 2014 - 10:32amits been explained over and over that Character did dot have the full details of what was to happen in the special and went on the info they had, they look on the alternate head as just a bonus now
it takes months to develop an item and thing cant be just changed at the last minuet
Dalek Just
February 2nd, 2014 - 4:17pmAgree.
Last white point star
February 20th, 2014 - 12:21amIn the preview pics that arrived in AUS The mc gann figure head looks perfect so….LOOK AT THE AMAZING PICTURES! They put so much effort into the figure i would give it a 10/10 so stop dissing
McGann is the Doctor
January 31st, 2014 - 11:35amRELEASE DATE? 🙂

January 23rd, 2014 - 11:24amThis is awesome and i cant wait for it to be on my shelf
Doctor 909
January 19th, 2014 - 5:51pmThis is probably extremely unlikely but let’s hope that this is part of a collect and build wave including 11th doctor (series 7 pt2), Clara, new 10th doctor, Kate Stewart, Osgood and Zygon figures.
Johnny
January 21st, 2014 - 11:17amZygons are looking likely in 3.75 inch figures as can be seen from the promo picture of the new Capaldi figure. 😉
McGann is the Doctor
January 25th, 2014 - 3:40pmoh my, that would be even better than having a single release Dark Eyes Doctor!

January 17th, 2014 - 11:21pmI defifinately now think CO and UT should release as a FP Exclusive a Night of The Doctor Eighth Doctor Figure with a variant of Paul McGann’s swappable head with cuts and bruises. What also could be included is a swappable head of The War Doctor but looking younger from the end of Night of The Doctor. This could then mean that you could swap between the two Eighth Doctor Headscuplts and put the young War Doctor head on The Day of The Doctor War Doctor’s body and have a choice between the standard and bruised Eighth Doctor swappable heads.

January 17th, 2014 - 11:23pmCONTINUED
The Accessory’s that could come with him could be the goblet he drunk out of that made him Regenerate and his Sonic Screwdriver but unlike the original Variant that came in The Eleven Doctors Set could be painted to make it look screen accurate.

January 17th, 2014 - 11:27pmYou could also have a Regenerated War Doctor Variant by swapping the 2 heads around.
The Funky Chicken
January 19th, 2014 - 4:21pmI’d love that!

January 19th, 2014 - 4:56pmHe could come with a removable Belt Buckle to put on the Night of The Doctor Eighth Doctor Figures body as well.

January 19th, 2014 - 5:33pmI would love it if you were in charge of Character Options, great idea
WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby
January 19th, 2014 - 5:55pmWhy thank you Tennantbaker12. I heard from one of batmanmarch’s Vlog’s on his Blogspot that the swappable Eighth Doctor Head that’s included with this has shorter hair than he did in Night of The Doctor. He also said that his hair was shorter in the Promotional Pictures he appeared in for Dark Eyes which brings a possibility that we could be seeing a Dark Eyes Eighth Doctor Figure from Underground Toys possibly in the near future.
Tennantbaker12
January 19th, 2014 - 9:09pmNice, it’s funny to think just from some promo pictures and a prequel how many McGann varients we can get!
Anonymous
January 24th, 2014 - 12:38pmthey should do monthly 5 inch figures!
MclatchyT
January 28th, 2014 - 10:38pmWhat about the Eighth/War Doctor’s TARDIS Police Box? Would that be included too?

January 17th, 2014 - 3:44amMy card isn’t the right type to use to pre-order or buy online items, they used to let me send a postal order but the man on the phone said the only way is online and my store seems to get everything last and its a travel away, so am I going to miss out this means ????

January 13th, 2014 - 9:49pmI know this is off topic but when will they release the yeti figure that was leaked on the internet in 2011! it would be the perfect time since the web of fear was found and the figures from that story! does anyone else know about it and what happened and why it wasnt released! its a great looking figure and needs to come out in 2014 with a doctor or a companion!

January 11th, 2014 - 1:46pmthey better bring out a day of the doctor eleventh doctor figure
The Chase
January 18th, 2014 - 5:39pmyeah if they r making a john hurt figure in 5’inch then they have to make an 11’th and 10th doctor from the story
George
January 9th, 2014 - 9:02pmHopefully they’ll ditch the new scale figures and return to the 5″ scale.

January 10th, 2014 - 10:59pmLet’s hope

January 10th, 2014 - 11:08pmWell they did say Rory was going to be the last figure but it wasn’t we are getting this and we have the holographic tenth doctor
The Funky Chicken
January 14th, 2014 - 12:44pmI really hope so.
Alexanderop
January 14th, 2014 - 1:11pmTenth Doctor was leftover stock and the War Doctor is technically a Classic Doctor which is why they could make one of him.
RhysCH
January 17th, 2014 - 7:28amIt is a FP exclusive… They’re staying in the 5″ scale so, no I don’t think it’ll change back, unfortunately 🙁
Nicholas
January 17th, 2014 - 7:49pmIt will be 3.75″ from now on, with 5″ UT/FP exclusives

January 17th, 2014 - 9:51pmHope we get a clara and a few series 6 figure they didn’t do that they should of done

Exterminator
January 7th, 2014 - 2:10pmInstead of giving us the incorrect McGann head, why not give us 2 versions of the ‘moment’ bomb thing. The current box type and a big red button version?
Joel Mole
January 9th, 2014 - 3:15pmIncorrect?
Exterminator
January 9th, 2014 - 5:25pmIncorrect because mcgann never wore this costume. Should have been ecclestone head.
Exterminator
January 9th, 2014 - 5:31pmEccleston not Ecclestone sorry.

February 2nd, 2014 - 11:45amI for one am looking forward to the McGann head I’ll be making my own custom 8th Doctor with it.

January 7th, 2014 - 12:55pmprobably, although i think the amount of people voting here poll would only represent around 20% of the total market if that
