The Seeds Of Doom Classic Figure Set – Pictures

The Seeds Of Doom: 4th Doctor & Krynoid 2 Pack

Two alien seed pods are found buried in the Antarctic permafrost. The Fourth Doctor, accompanied by Sarah-Jane Smith, realises that they are from a Krynoid, a form of voracious plant life that infects and transforms all animal life on planets upon which it becomes established.

One of the pods opens and infects a scientist at an Antarctic base but the developing Krynoid is destroyed by a bomb set to cover the tracks of two men, Scorby and Keeler, who have made off with the other pod for their boss, eccentric plant collector Harrison Chase.

The second pod infects Keeler and he also becomes a Krynoid, rapidly growing to giant proportions. UNIT are called in, and they arrange for the Krynoid to be bombed before it can spread its pods across the Earth.

      All I knwo is it won’t be easy, try all the UK websites of Amazon play.com etc, and keep an eye on that ebay !

      February 1st, 2012 - 12:46pm

      the problem with the vespiform is that some of the parts are very rare (like the tale with the 25 adipose) so if you find them on their own they are going be expensive

    • Scott

      February 1st, 2012 - 1:00pm

      i have the adipose tail, but not other parts, got them before that wave came out

      river song is a very hard figure, also supreme dalek and davros are very rare aswell. Donna Noble is rare but I’m sure yo might find one.

      Don’t you wish the Doctor were different though ? I mean, he’s EXACTLY THE SAME as the Eleven Doctors set. šŸ˜”

      They could have made the jacket a darker shade of grey, to look accurate ! šŸ™ Not buying it.

    It’s another good set – I’m going to ask this in the hope of an answer (which if it’s published elsewhere, forgive me) but what were the top 5 figures wanted by collectors from the survey done on classic sets at the end of last year on this site?

    There is actually a lot more difference between the Axon and the Krynoid than I realised! Still, the Doctor hasn’t been changed as much (I think, correct me if I’m wrong).

    Reply
    • booboo

      January 31st, 2012 - 4:16pm

      yes the Krynoid is different, there are one or 2 very minor one on the Doctor but not enough to warrant the “variant” label in my opinion

    • BOOBOO JR

      January 31st, 2012 - 4:20pm

      Ok, what are the differences on the Doctor? People are saying the face is different and their is a minor paint change on the scarf, is this true?

    • booboo

      January 31st, 2012 - 4:24pm

      very minor differences on the scarf, the eye brows are higher and the hat looks greener, these could all be production line variations in finishing though like different wallpaper batches, i will have to wait to see the actual figure to do and accurate comparison

      It would be a great set if they had changed the Doctor-figure a bit.

      But they did not change him, so , basicly ,not BUYING.

      I’ll save my money for a better set, like the Caves of Adrozahni and Invasion of Time sets. šŸ˜‰

      January 30th, 2012 - 10:19pm

      I assume it all comes down to which figures they can get the most use out of the molds. Peri is seeing a lot of action because they can just add a shirt or re-paint her outfit. Krynoid was a given because they could re-use the Axos figure. Hopefully we will see more of the Classics

    • booboo

      January 30th, 2012 - 10:23pm

      one use of a mould probably wont cover the costs of development which is why we are seeing multiple figures

    – Does this set include a background image?
