The Three Doctors Collectors Set 1972 – Pictures
The Three Doctors Collectors Set 1972
This item can be ordered from www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk. Please note this item is exclusive to Forbidden Planet international in the UK.
Don’t forget our interactive Doctor Who Classic Lists where you can see every classic 5″ figure ever made and save which one you own. There are also handy filers to see which figures have been made in each of The Doctors Era’s or see only companions, Masters etc.
A gel-like plasma creature arrives on Earth and hunts down the third Doctor, who calls on the Time Lords for help. The Time Lords themselves are in crisis as their energy is being drawn off into a black hole. They send the Doctor’s earlier selves to join him.
The first Doctor, caught in a time eddy and able only to advise, deduces that the creature is a time bridge. The third Doctor and Jo then give themselves up to it and are transported to a world of antimatter beyond the black hole.
On Earth, the second Doctor is forced to take refuge in the TARDIS along with the Brigadier and Sergeant Benton. On the advice of the first Doctor he switches off the ship’s force field, and the whole UNIT building is transported through the black hole.
Behind these events is Omega, a figure from Time Lord history whose solar engineering provided the power for time travel.
He has been trapped in the black hole ever since and now wants the Doctor to swap places with him, but it transpires that the corrosive properties of his domain have already destroyed his physical form, leaving only his will.
This Gel Guard was lit with a lamp under a glass table – it looks superb…
Contents:
The Brigadier In Peaked Cap with Pistol
Jo Grant (with alternate arms and removable gilet).
Gel Guard

doctorpond393
September 26th, 2012 - 9:11pmi thought that as well but it will probably look better in the flesh.

September 26th, 2012 - 7:56pmBeing stupid here but what’s a gillet
booboo
September 26th, 2012 - 8:03pmsleeveless coat
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 9:23pmDo you think the hands will be different? or just the arms? They could be sculpted to hold something on an alternate hand?? Sounds a little silly, but they should make the most of swappable arms.
doctorpond393
September 26th, 2012 - 6:49pmwho thinks the gel guard will have wheels or be rotocast?
booboo
September 26th, 2012 - 6:51pmrotocast i would think
Anonymous
September 26th, 2012 - 7:13pmProbably sounding thick but what’s rotocast
booboo
September 26th, 2012 - 7:15pmone moulded hollow piece
doctorpond393
September 26th, 2012 - 7:37pmyeah im thinking rotcast too
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 9:20pmyou think the arm will be removable or on a ball joint?
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 9:20pmPlus do you think the eye will move, I would love of those googly eyes, that would be a funny touch!

September 26th, 2012 - 6:36pmooh i like the fact that you can take her gillet off, only downside is that I WANT IT NOW!
Slitheen92
September 26th, 2012 - 6:30pmWOW, 100% fantastic, I’m over the moon with the fact that Jo is finally here but with The Brigadier and a Gel Guard, WOW!! best set ever. pre-ordered one. 🙂

dalek eternal
September 26th, 2012 - 6:29pmi reckon its being released in 2013 because of the 50th anniversary just a thought i cant wait for the brigadier gonna have to order this asap
CONNORTHEDOCTOR
September 26th, 2012 - 6:23pmWOW just wish it was out in 2012 🙁
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 9:28pmSame, booboo didn’t Katy Manning put on twitter, that it would be released before christmas?
booboo
September 26th, 2012 - 9:36pmi think she was getting confused between seeing the final figure herself and the release date
andrew
September 27th, 2012 - 1:26amOk, but on the plus side, at least we are getting her, a lot of people have been demanding the brig and gel guard, and I have been wanting Jo, so this set is perfect. And similarly with the price. Wonder why they reducing them?
Daff
September 26th, 2012 - 6:22pmOMG Its Camille XD
Nicholas
September 26th, 2012 - 6:31pmCamille?
Scott
September 26th, 2012 - 6:22pmi love you underground toys, i love you so much, i really do
THE ERGON
September 26th, 2012 - 6:05pmAs much as i like this set, are there any more stuff,besides the pyramid set that will be released 2012?
booboo
September 26th, 2012 - 6:06pmwe really dont know dates, i would hope so
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 6:04pmIm just watching the daemons, and theres a scene with the brig in jumper with binos just like the other prototype. And you say theres a prototype for the master, and Bok? Could that make up another three pack set?
booboo
September 26th, 2012 - 6:05pmyes, and that would be another brilliant set a must but again.
MadGuyInATARDIS
September 26th, 2012 - 6:01pmBrigadier looks amazing! Jo and gel thinging not so much… If I still bought figures I’d buy it though.. but only for the Brigadier!
@SirRoundSound
September 26th, 2012 - 5:58pmPre-ordered two sets! Really impressed with the value of this set, but I do have a worry that since the price is so low, they won’t put as much effort in painting them as they normally would, but I’m sure I’ll be wrong! But a slight shame about the release day, would have liked this before Christmas, but I’m sure they’ll be more to come before then!
DOCTORWHOSBIGGESTFAN
September 26th, 2012 - 5:58pmThat Brigadier is amazing! Always wanted a Brigadier figure and now I have one! Its even better than I imagined. The gel guard is great. Really hope its arm moves. Jo Grant looks quite dodgy, but the other two are awesome!

Mr Evil Fez
September 26th, 2012 - 5:35pmI think the crash may have been caused by this from UT’s facebook page which was followed by a link to this website:
Check out the countdown clock the awesome people at The Doctor Who Site made for our figure reveal!
booboo
September 26th, 2012 - 5:37pmi was half expecting with such a big build-up, hundreds were trying to get on-line at 3.55
The Doctor
September 26th, 2012 - 5:35pmDon’t like getting classics it should have been resent figures
booboo

The Doctor
September 26th, 2012 - 5:42pmoh
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 5:42pmI think there is a lot more demand for classics as there are a lot of classic viewers, hell im 17 and i love the classic series!
Esterath
September 26th, 2012 - 5:44pmHeck, I loved the classics when I was 10 and still do!
Dalek X

stike
September 26th, 2012 - 5:34pmthis set is brilliant! and the gel guard had a moving arm
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 5:41pmIt does look to be articulated, because theres quite a big gap.
gary
September 26th, 2012 - 5:32pmJust amazing! The Brig looks a bit csrtoony and Jo doesn’t look perfect but do I care? No! It’s two of the best companions – EVER – and a monster for 27 quid! Bargin!
Esterath
September 26th, 2012 - 5:32pmHow many Jo Grant obsessives will have a sneaky upskirt look? Lol!
