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.

February 21st, 2014 - 11:09pmHi, Anonymous, do you mean that the 8th doctor figure (from the 11 doctors figure set) head is removable?

February 22nd, 2014 - 7:48amYeah it is removable

February 20th, 2014 - 4:47pmI know this sounds like a stupid question, but when it arrives in the online warehouse on the 28th, is the figure released into the physical shop at the same time?
Doctor Stu
February 20th, 2014 - 6:48pmI would assume so

February 21st, 2014 - 7:21pmSometimes they are in the shop before the warehouse has them… Seems ridiculous but happened when I pre ordered Special weapons dalek

February 20th, 2014 - 4:29pmI think a ninth dr head would of been better so we can finish off what the episode didn’t do and the fact the 8th dr didn’t even wear this costume

February 20th, 2014 - 4:42pmmaybe the 8th doctor head will fit on the 8th body from the 11 doctors set

February 20th, 2014 - 6:08pmmerchandise guru, everyone has said. they made the figure before DOTD was on screen, but knew that mcgann would regenerate into him, so it is a bonus.

February 21st, 2014 - 12:39pmI like the new head for the 8th doctor, I might use it for a dark eyes custom.
Likethisdayofthedoctor
February 21st, 2014 - 7:17pmThat would of been FANTASTIC! (see what I did there) but Christopher Ecceleston wasn’t in the 50th so it might not have been legal for CO to have done that.
tardistakeoff
February 22nd, 2014 - 12:00amIt wouldn’t really be better, we would have just got the ninth doctor head sculpt we’ve had before, whereas here we have a whole new eighth doctor head sculpt that has more possibilities, plus if you really are that bothered you could buy a ninth doctor figure online cheap and just hollow out the neck section
Robert10075
February 23rd, 2014 - 5:46pmmerchandise guru is right 8th dr didn’t wear this costume at all. when he regenerated in the night of the dr he was wearing that werid version of the costume worn in the movie.
but if chris was in the episode they would of finished off the scene instead of editing his face in slightly and hed be wearing the costume
Jdogman
February 20th, 2014 - 11:54amI like to work my way around the inaccuracy with the 8th Doctor wearing the War Doctor’s costume by suggesting that 8 constantly changes his outfits and doesn’t really have one particular costume. This can be from the formal attire seen from The Movie to different variations and colours of it, to a more casual future kind of look with his Dark Eyes costume, then changing around and occasionally mixing styles similar to the War Doctor, and sometimes a new look version of his older outfits but done to look more adventurer, like the mini-sode
Jaffa Cakes
February 20th, 2014 - 4:54pmThere’s no inaccuracy. It was Character being nice and including a nice extra opposed to yet another Ninth Doctor head.
If anything, it’s a nice touch for those who like to believe that Eight should have been the War Doctor.

The other doctor figure
February 20th, 2014 - 10:25amThis figure is amazing! The likeness to hurt is fantastic, the packaging is superb and the moment accessorie looks great! I just can’t believe that effort which has been put into this figure. If only they could do more figures in the 5″ line because this figure is amazing! Such a shame character let that detail go to make way for those dreadful new figures they’re releasing
Imperial Dalek 3456
February 20th, 2014 - 10:17amIt looks really nice, but at the moment it’s currently sold out! It’s probably because it’s so good.
Scott
February 19th, 2014 - 10:14pmI’m confused, why does forbiddenplanet.com claim these are sold out?
booboo
February 19th, 2014 - 11:21pmthey might have sold out of their allocation
Clayderman
February 19th, 2014 - 9:25pmI hope they come out with a Bad Wolf Rose Tyler and another Moment Box, but this time, it has a Big Red Button. 🙂

February 20th, 2014 - 10:20amWhy 5? That’s just being greedy.
Dynamite Doctor
February 20th, 2014 - 12:20pmI can understand 2 so you can have a john hurt and Paul McGann head, but 5 is too many.

February 19th, 2014 - 7:52pmCan’t wait for this it will go great with my other doctor sonic and when it comes out the micro figure
Last white point star
February 21st, 2014 - 8:31am***and IF it comes out in the micro figure sets***
Doctor 909
February 19th, 2014 - 7:50pmI really hope Character see the excitement of this figure and how much people adore this figure, and they decide to bring back the 5″ line. But, I know as everyone keeps on saying: it is highly unlikely they will. But, on the other hand, we can still hope and pray for a new 13 doctors set or at least a 12th doctor in proper costume 5″ figure.
Doctorwhofan561
February 19th, 2014 - 7:53pmI agree
Likethisdayofthedoctor
February 21st, 2014 - 7:13pmI TOTALLY agree. I think they should do a proper Paul Mcgann (The Night Of The Doctor) figure, and include a Peter Capaldi figure in 5″, and Matt Smith in his series 7 part 2 costume.
DalekAgent
February 19th, 2014 - 6:04pmWhen i get this, i think im gonna keep it in its packaging because i have no room on my shelve for anymore 5inch figures so ill have to keep it somewhere else
Matthew
February 19th, 2014 - 5:03pmOmg it looks amazing!! I hope they do a 3.75 inch one too though, ssing as though they’ve insisted on making us buy the smaller ones too
CyberSlave2014
February 19th, 2014 - 4:55pmCant wait till this comes out! I really like the detail on the Moment. But its ashame there was no series without John Hurt. They should have made him the 12th doctor and made the 8th in the 50th.

February 19th, 2014 - 4:45pmhay, it’s got the new sonic!!!

booboo
February 19th, 2014 - 4:26pmGenerally all underground toys items appear now in the USA/AUS before the UK – presumably the shipments arrive quicker because of distance.

February 19th, 2014 - 10:36amI love this figure, and I’ll definitely be buying it, despite the high price. I hope this indicates a 5 inch Capaldi but it’s unlikely. Whatever happens I’m going to be buying the 12th doctor in crombie coat 3.75 inch or not (as I have every other doctor figure) What do u guys think on 3.75 inch figures. My mum seems to think I’d be stupid buying them cuz they don’t fit with the other 500 or so 5 inch figures I have!
Likethisdayofthedoctor
February 21st, 2014 - 7:23pmThe new figures are pointless. And they are awful. I noticed this the other day, on the 5″ figures, there is a little sign on the packaging that says ‘HIGHLY DETAILED ACTION FIGURE!’ It doesn’t say that any more on the new 3.75″ figures, does it? I wonder why.

February 18th, 2014 - 12:49pmThat head sculpt looks perfect.
RexisnotyourDoctor
February 18th, 2014 - 12:21pmThat’s one helluva good likeness of Hurt if that’s the finished figure. Better than the figure in the stock photos, in fact.
This constant complaining about the ‘inaccuracy’ of including the McGann head is truly baffling. Just buy it for the War Doctor figure and throw the McGann head away if it bothers you that much. Seems like a waste, but eh.
