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.

July 15th, 2012 - 10:25pmI want the Krynoid set not happt Forbidden Planet Sold out I’ll have to try elsewhere coz I love the seeds of Doom, also is that *th Doctor Tardis available I wouldnt mind the same as I want the classic Tardis set with the old Console and the walls with the big circles I think its based on the eighties Tardis
McGann is The Doctor.
June 23rd, 2012 - 3:34pmHey, I know this seems like a big deal beacuse there hasn’t been any new 5″ figures for about half a year or more.
But DONOT get excited. A new one has been spotted, you can view it on Dr Who toys.net
I think it’s a fake, it’s a 5th Doctor set and it says “1981-89” ? ❓ And it has the Master’s Tardis, it SAYS it includes the Master but I don’t see him .
The Doctor is just a reetool of the regenerated 5th Doctor, probably still with the boots on. 🙁
McGann is The Doctor.
July 1st, 2012 - 7:05pmYep, the boots are still on. LAME, not getting it, what a cheap set, not worth it.
Anyway, I’m on holiday for two weeks now ! See ya later, have some good news for me by the time I get back ! 😆
josh
October 6th, 2012 - 12:44pmit is supposed to have the boots on tom regend wth b oots so peter has boots
McGann is The Doctor.
June 1st, 2012 - 11:50pmYeah, the Krynoid and accesories are good.
It’s been almost five months now since character released any figures, for 5″ Series 6 or the classic series.
VERY dissapointing as I was hoping for more Series 6 figures, there haven’t been enough of them when you consider how much they usually make and the amount of GOOD figures that could have been made. Some of the figures WERE good like Idris and the Cybermen, and the Eleventh Doctor.
But why is there no Minotaur, the Doctor in his longcoat or Dorium, Amy, Madame Kovarian or Handbots ❓

June 7th, 2012 - 6:08pmdon’t think so, just having a breather before gearing up to the 50th i think
BOOBOO JR
June 7th, 2012 - 5:47pmDo you know that for sure or are you just guessing due to the large gap between now and the last release?
KRYNOIDY
May 30th, 2012 - 1:01pmLove this set; the Krynoid is excellent!
McGann is The Doctor.
June 1st, 2012 - 11:48pmMeh, could have done the Doctor’s jacket a darker shade of grey so it would be different from the 11 Doctors set, and accurate. It would be more accurate.
KRYNOIDY
June 15th, 2012 - 10:33amThat is true; the Doctor is slightly inaccurate
McGann is The Doctor.
May 12th, 2012 - 8:08pmIn my dream last night, I had bought this set (even though it’s not a set that I want, and you know why I don’t want it) and I had bought it because there was no other sets at forbidden planet, and after buying it I realised I should have saved that £24 and put it towards the Invasion of Time set. 🙁
Can’t tell you how relieved I was after waking up and realising I hadn’t bought it. Phew ! 😆

Pint of beer accessory
McGann is The Doctor.
May 12th, 2012 - 8:04pmYou’re mad, a pint of beer accessory ? Some of the suggestions I see are bonkers.
We need the Drathro Robot and Sixth Doctor in red waistcoat and hair and neckwear from “Trial of a Timelord”, and the Valeyard. (thinking Oh yeah ! 😉 )
We need Ace and one of the cat people and maybe the Master from Survival.
We need a Fifth Doctor in Jumper with the Master from “The King’s Demons” (ever seen the sword fight in that story ?)
And a jacketless Sixth Doctor from Terror of the Vervoids and some Vervoids from that story.
A plastic beer ? No.
drwhoiscool
August 22nd, 2012 - 5:56pmi was thinking of a massive doctor who companions pack set like they did for the eleven doctors but when therse a charactor thats only just come out like (PERI 3 TIMES SUMAT DIFFRENT)HOPE SOMETHING LIKE THIS
silence will fall
May 8th, 2012 - 6:04pmi got this set yesterday for £19.99 at the tv and movie store in norwich which i was happy about because £24.99 is a bit too much for 2 figures and some acessories
McGann is The Doctor.
May 6th, 2012 - 8:56pmUgh, what a boring set to leave us hanging on. I find it uninteresting because the Doctor is unchanged (when there is an improvement they could av made) adn the Krynoid is just a big fat brocoly man. 😯
Happiness will prevail
April 25th, 2012 - 6:06pmI have ordered my set off amazon it should be on its way soon
daz
April 26th, 2012 - 10:45amdidnt know where to put this but on ch4 tonight 8pm. ‘get your house in order’ features a dr who hoarder with loads of toys and has colin baking helping sell them.
McGann is The Doctor.
April 29th, 2012 - 5:42pmYou mean Colin Baker ? Yes, I read your post that thursday, thanks for letting me know !
he had five copies of the same radio times magazine, and he had no taste in Dr Who whatso ever, just bought anything with Dr Who on it really, and did not even open his figures ! ❗
Colin Baker was the highlight of the show, he’s a top guy, my favourite actor in the world. Seeing him on normal, live TV was a first for me.
BOOBOO JR
April 29th, 2012 - 5:47pmI watched that too. But how can you appreciate your figures when you don’t even open them 🙁 Yes they’ll be worth more but that isn’t the point!!!
McGann is the Doctor
May 3rd, 2012 - 3:25pmExactly, and he also had nothing to say about Dr Who, apart from (puts on really lame Dalek voice)”Exterminate ! Exterminate !!” such an embarassment for us fans, people watching that will think all Dr Who fanatics are unhealthily obsessed saddos, 🙁
Boodleoo
May 6th, 2012 - 9:14pmI know I saw it as well the amount of radio time “oh, I thought they would become valuable” really? The things possible with that many doctor who figures is unimaginable what a waste!

booboo
April 6th, 2012 - 7:57amno it isnt
Renegade Dalek
April 6th, 2012 - 4:38pmSo booboo what do YOU think the next set is going to be?
McGann is The Doctor.
April 7th, 2012 - 3:01pm(pay attention, there’s a point to this: ) I’ve been away for a week or so and came back hoping there would be a new , better, classic set announced.
But there hasn’t been, alas. My favourite, most wanted set ever would be a Trial of a Timelord set with a 1986 Doctor, wearing his outfit, new head sculpt and the big Robot from Parts 1-4 and I want the Valeyard. I would go bannanas for that. 😀
There is said to be a Jo Grant set, probably a two-figure set. ❓ And a Yeti, in the making. That’s all I’ve heard, it could take a long time.
Renegade Dalek
April 8th, 2012 - 8:24amMcgann is the doctor, thanks for your reply.
When you say ‘a Jo Grant set, probably a two-figure set.’ what do you think the second figure will be, in that set?
Kind regards
Renegade Dalek
McGann is the Doctor
April 17th, 2012 - 11:50amOh, ugh, sorry I didn’t get back sooner. I suspect (and hope it will be) an Ogron, that was her favourite monster ! Seriously, it was !
If not, then lets have a, uhhhh, I dunno, I haven’t seen alot of the Jon Pertwee episodes, some people said a Dalek and it will be a Day of the Daleks set, but that will be rubbish if it’s just a two figure set.
Day of the Daleks would need atleast three figures, the Doctor, an Ogron a Dalek, so I hope this Jo Grant figure won’t be a Dalek two pack. We’ll see.. ❓
McGann is the Doctor
April 17th, 2012 - 11:52amFor now, character are taking a break, making more stuff.
I don’ know when we’ll get some new stuff, but for now, let’s just catch up ! 😆
Anonymous
April 18th, 2012 - 4:29pmThe next releases will be at the SDCC in July, there will be a new series exclusive (probablly Rory) and at least one classic exclusive (and as Katy Manning has said two Jo Grant figures are currently being made it seems likely at least one of them will come out).
As for what is coming with the Jo figure, nobody really knows. One of the jo figures was the costume from The Three Doctors, although that might be the second one that comes out.
McGann is the Doctor
April 25th, 2012 - 11:09amI hate that outfit in the Three Doctors, the one from Frontier in Space is way better. 😛
And Rory will hopefully be released with another figure from Series 6, I hope it’s a Doctor in his costume.
There’v been two many rubbish figures in Series 6, Uncle was pointless, the retooled Cybermen looked good but there weren’t enough new figures, the Silence, 11th Doctor with new hair and posability and Idris were the only new Series 6 figures.
The inaccurate repainted Ood and the inaccurate rubbish “Doctor in Cowboy hat” were the worst.
McGann is the Doctor
April 25th, 2012 - 11:12amThe Doctor in Straightjacket and Doctor’s Ganger stretchy flesh were good, and the Junk Tardis was excellent.
But no Minotaur, Doctor in Longcoat or eyepatch of the Handbots.
Madame Kovarian, Dorium, Headless monks are other possible good figures, but character need to make the Doctor in longcoat, and another one with the stettson, Rory a new Amy and River (eventually) and the Minotaur first. 😉
Happiness will prevail
April 25th, 2012 - 6:06pmI would like a celestial toymaker figure
McGann is the Doctor
May 3rd, 2012 - 3:33pmHappiness will prevail, that’s kind of changing the subject, but so would I .
I want there to be figures from the Trial of a Timelord , with a 1986 Colin Baker Sixth Doctor, they could make his costume more accurate and a new head sculpt, and release him with the multi coloured umbrella.
And for the Master, I want the Anthony Ainley Master in his usual outfit which has yet to be released, and a Doctor from Kings Demons with his jumper on: http://images.wikia.com/tardis/images/b/b3/FiveCoatlessLooksLeft.jpg
Doc3Pertwee
April 5th, 2012 - 1:52pmI am debating between getting this set, the davros emperor (remembrance set) or the fendahl set, I’m only getting one but would appreciate any opinions on what is the best choice, I have none of the figures already i.e. eleven doctors set
Thanks
DALEKDAVROS.
April 5th, 2012 - 2:09pmget this its awsome
Doc3Pertwee
April 5th, 2012 - 7:28pmI think i’ve decided to go with the davros set (although I really want a fendahleen too), thanks for the view point though, I will ultimately end up buying this set at some point
McGann is The Doctor.
April 7th, 2012 - 3:08pmI would have gone for the set I need the most.
Already have the 11 Doctors set= Don’t get this
Already have Leela from the Invasion of time ?= Don’t get Image of the Fendahl set
Don’t have any other Imperial Daleks ? = No point getting the Remembrance set.
Personally I’m not getting any of these sets because I don’t like them, the Davros is inaccurate (see the face) but if I had to choose, the best one is Image of the Fendahl. 😉 Enjoy whichever one you get though.
ANTHONY
April 8th, 2012 - 8:42pmi want that but next time i get mobey off mum i am going to get it but depends my fb in town picadily manchester takes mick ? dose any one live or no if theres any in stock
Rooners
March 30th, 2012 - 8:32amHey BooBoo
Now you have the figures in the flesh (so to speak), are you able to confirm if this is the exact same variant that came with the 11 Doctor set?
booboo
March 30th, 2012 - 9:33amThe eyes have been painted differently which makes the face look different but bar minor painting differences it look identical do me
Right click and view image for a bigger pic
McGann is The Doctor.
April 7th, 2012 - 3:03pmThe thing is, they should have made the jacket more dark grey, it was too light in the 11 Doctors set.
I take it the one on the right is the newer one ?

March 31st, 2012 - 7:57amor the tadis the docto and the master.
McGann is The Doctor.
April 7th, 2012 - 3:16pmA new figure of Paul McGann’s Doctor, with maybe a smile on his face (the original 8th Doctor figure has a swappable head you know ! :D) and no jacket. http://pics.livejournal.com/honorarydoctor/pic/0009k6es/s320x240
Or they could just paint him to look more accurate to the costume of the movie, have the waistcoat diffrent colour. And we do need another Sylvestor Mccoy figure, the TV movie 7th Doctor, YES YES YES ! 😀
Anonymous
April 13th, 2012 - 7:31amAnother Eighth Doctor would be good but I think Grace Holloway isn’t a proper companion as she was in an American production of what used to be a British show so all the actors and actresses (except Paul McGann and Sylvester McCoy) were American. Probably why tthey won’t EVER release her and probably why we Brits took back DW straight after the movie. How about a ‘The Deadly Assassin’ set with Doctor in Time Lord robes, the Master and some others*?
*Not sure who though!
McGann is the Doctor
April 25th, 2012 - 11:06amNah, we’ve had enough Tom Baker sets, for now. Lets get back to the others.
Okay, I want a set for the story “Two Doctors” with the Sixth Doctor in hawaiian waistcoat and the 2nd Doctor grey hair and a Sontaran.

McGann is the Doctor
March 27th, 2012 - 3:04pmWarriors’ Gate you’re not likely to get, but a set for the story Full circle would be nice for the Marshmen, you might have Adric .
I personally would like one for “The Leisure Hive” with a more accurate Fourth Doctor (waistcoat, shoes instead of boots, hat). 🙂
Liason Ice
March 28th, 2012 - 9:07amI would like a Five Doctors Set, with the various Doctors, companions and monsters

McGann is the Doctor
March 27th, 2012 - 3:05pmIt’s the same.
The jacket should have been darker. Not worth getting for the exact same Doctor. 😛
Tardis’nt
March 27th, 2012 - 3:37pmoh, it might just be the lights making it appear darker.

March 28th, 2012 - 4:14pmi mean lighter, lol!

April 7th, 2012 - 3:17pmThat’s okay, would you like to get this set or have you already ❓

KRYNOIDY
March 11th, 2012 - 12:32pmI’ll get at some point as I have neither variant but its a tad expensive for two retools. But I’ve just seen the Third Doctor and Sea Devil for £16.99 so I’m getting that first 😀
McGann is the Doctor
March 15th, 2012 - 5:51pmI on the other hand, am not intrested enough to get this set.
It’s really because the Doctor is completely unchanged from the 11 Doctor’s set, were they could have improved the coat to make it a darker grey but have not botherd.
Getting the Peri+Sharaz Jek instead aswell as Leela Invasion of time. Those are worth getting 🙂
WhoEleven
February 21st, 2012 - 6:03pmI am very glad that this set has been released
I never got the master and axon set and this is almost the same
I havent (obviously) got an axon or the Tom from the Eleven doctors set
So yes, i am definitley going to get this set
And (please someone answer) has the delivery return back to normal from forbidden planet .com?
booboo
February 21st, 2012 - 7:16pmlast thing i ordered it took 8 days (an in stock item)
to be honest i wish both FP would offer a next day delivery even at a slightly higher cost
who crazy!
February 21st, 2012 - 5:52pmI’m back guys and I’m using a different laptop. Just to comment on this set, I think it’s pretty cheap. The Krynoid is just an Axon figure but that was what it was like in the first place except the other way round. And that doctor is just the 11 doctors set 4th doctor with a sword. Definately a cheaper, lower-budget set but that is paying off at the moment. Great to be back guys!
booboo
February 21st, 2012 - 5:53pmactually they have made quite a few tweaks to the krynoid from the Axon
who crazy!
February 21st, 2012 - 5:57pmThat improves it! Its good they made more tweeks because the same figure just in green would be a little sad.

February 17th, 2012 - 6:34pmHi Bobo my mate told me that a romana 2 figure is coming out from either the leisure hive or the creature from the pit (which is my favourite story!!!)!!!!

February 3rd, 2012 - 2:11pmDoesn’t look like it. :/
If I were you, I wouldn’t prioritise this particular set, even for £24 it’s not the best value for the Doctor is completely unchanged and re-used from the Eleven Doctor’s set.
You know it (the figure) could have been changed to atleast have a different paint on the coat, his coat in the episode is much darker so I thought they would have changed it ❗
