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

clc
September 29th, 2012 - 10:13amThe 1960s was before my time, creaky old black and white – but its still Doctor Who and i’m glad to say i discovered that in the 70s and 80s where it was new to me. I’m also glad i bought the Dead Planet Daleks and other 1960s figures.
harraseda
September 28th, 2012 - 4:33pmwow. they made Jo loo like a simpleton
other 2 figures are good though
McGann is the Doctor
September 28th, 2012 - 12:48pmLast time I was at FP they didn’t have many classic sets remaining.
This was okay because I only came for the Resurrection of the Daleks set and afew Series 6 figures.
But next time I want the Caves of Adrozahni set, the Invasion of Time set and the Keeper of Traken set. Hope they have got them ! ❗

killerofthewaffle

Dalek X

Judooning
September 27th, 2012 - 11:11amUnderground Toys have an image on their facebook page of the Jo figure in hand with a Dalek and 3rd Doctor. It looks better than the promo image. The face looks more detailed.
booboo
September 27th, 2012 - 11:15amcant really see it from that, i have found its very hard to do these figures justice
booboo
September 27th, 2012 - 12:13pmi see its a custom
Judooning
September 27th, 2012 - 11:18amIt just looks like it has a better tone to the face. Of course, it could be the lighting.
Like you say, photos very rarely do them justice.
I’m just wondering who this person is to have it so early. Must work for CO/UT.
Beep
September 27th, 2012 - 12:14pmIt’s a custom.
Judooning
September 27th, 2012 - 12:34pmOhh right. Looks very good then because it had me fooled! 😛
McGann is the Doctor
September 27th, 2012 - 10:02amABSOLUTELY GETTING THIS SET.
Never liked that Gel Guard thing, but I WANT THE BRIGADIER.
It looks absolutely great, so glad they made a good figure of him. 😀
John Smith
September 27th, 2012 - 8:37amI KNEW, I KNEW IT! This is awesome! Definitely getting this. Although I think that Jo’s face looks a bit weird. Probably just my imagination.
LG
September 27th, 2012 - 9:00amShe looks like her face has been squashed by a steam roller!
Anonymous
September 27th, 2012 - 10:01amWho cares when it’s got the Brigadier ! ❗
matparks08
September 27th, 2012 - 8:18amSo, now we have two figures that have topped the ‘most wanted’ lists of many (In the Brigadier and Jo) , what would be next most wanted figure? For me it has to be Ace, maybe in a 3 set with a Haemovore and 1 of the Cheetah people. Sound good?
TheWhomobile
September 27th, 2012 - 5:11pmYeah I’d really like Ace and a cheetah person. Survival is a really good episode.
Mumble5557
September 28th, 2012 - 6:53amNah you’ll need Ace & 2 Cheetah People as sets are going really cheap at the moment

The Noise Tank Cyberman
September 27th, 2012 - 3:02amTo me it kinda looks like The Brigader has a removable hat

andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 10:08pmBasically creatures made of anti matter and Omegas will, sent to retrieve the Doctor, or in the end, doctors and Jo. And eventually everyone else lol.
daleksean
September 26th, 2012 - 10:09pmso they are like servants to omega
booboo
September 26th, 2012 - 10:11pmyes, antimatter jellies,(i think, must watch 3 doctors again) lovely sound they had to
daleksean

booboo
September 26th, 2012 - 10:25pmits great, one of my favourite stories, great performances all round – does anyone have a television set handy
daleksean
September 26th, 2012 - 10:27pmyep
daleksean
September 26th, 2012 - 11:13pmi have just wathched part 1 and 2 of this story on the internet and i know what you mean by does anyone have a television set handy
andrew
September 27th, 2012 - 1:21amYes., it is one of the best acted stories. Mainly cus Jon Pertwee is in it lol it yeah everyyone acted it well, very well written, I just hope we get something like this but bigger for the 50th anniversary!
Dalek X
September 28th, 2012 - 4:10amYes a brillent story very funny I likeit a bit more than the 5(4)Doctors And unfortannlly bill hartnells last story I’ts weired Bill and Pat both died at age 67 and pat and jon both died from heart attacks in America R.I.P. very sad
daleksean
October 2nd, 2012 - 9:54pmbooboo i eventually watched all of this story and it is great
pupbenny
September 26th, 2012 - 9:57pmThis is from The Three Doctor’s right?
booboo
September 26th, 2012 - 10:01pmyes they are
whofan4ever
September 26th, 2012 - 9:35pmwait a minute. slow down here. just a sec. somethings not quite right. wheres omega from the 5th doctor era?! i would love a figure of that SO much because it just looks epic that way in comparison to the third doc’s one. what do you think? reply if you agree/disagree.
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 9:48pmI prefer the 3docs one, although it would be nice to have a 5docs one. I just wish they would rerelease the 3docs one with the 3docs Pertwee! Would make a great 2 pack! Then a TARDIS set would be nice, either Pertwee or a bunch of rotocasts form his lab lol.
booboo
September 26th, 2012 - 10:10pmhopefully one day but there are so many figures that could be done
McGann is the Doctor
September 27th, 2012 - 10:06amI am sure they will make an 80s Omega in a years time.
Then I would have a real purpose for the Gel Guard.
Esterath
September 26th, 2012 - 9:26pmI will post the cover to The Criminal Despachment tomorrow! And hopefully my TATM poster !
Anonymous
September 26th, 2012 - 9:01pmBrig looks great! Not sure about Jo, but I’m definitly getting it for a Pertwee Figure Adventure. Now all UT has to make is Ace and I’ll be happy.
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 9:15pmAnd a orange jacket Pertwee. But I wouldn’t worry about the look of the figures until you have them in hand. Yes the Brig looks good even in the photo, but then when does the Brig not look good? lol, but yeah, im sure Jo will be fine in hand! Can’t wait to see packaging and backdrop! Would be nice if they put Bessie on it lol.
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 9:16pmIs anyone forgetting Sarah Jane, I would love a figure of her, in her yellow raincoat and red boots from the sontaran experiment lol. Or the Andy Pandy outfit.:)
whofan4ever
September 26th, 2012 - 9:30pmyeah a classic SJ figure would be good although i thought they would’ve made a tribute figure but since it’s CO, no. i hope we get a sarah jane classic set with her from the robot or the sontaran experiment which Andrew said /\. also stop with so many classics and make some new series figures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we want rory!!!! a proper one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Justjeulin
September 26th, 2012 - 11:17pmWhoops forgot to put username.(To Andrew) But anyways, I don’t believe that they’re always better in hand since Rory, but yeah. I’d really like a Bessie! I think the packaging will be the same as the Enemies set. (To whofan4ever) Yeah they really should make that (rory and sarah jane) We do need new series sets. But I bet the cubes are gonna be like the cybermats last year
andrew
September 27th, 2012 - 1:23amWhat was the backdrop on the enemies one then?
Anonymous
September 26th, 2012 - 8:22pmShouldn’t it be 1973!?
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 8:29pmI thought that, i think it was broadcast in december 1972?? Sounds strange as it was for 10 years!
Anonymous
September 26th, 2012 - 8:47pmIt was to mark the start of the celebrations of their tenth year.
It’s like with the 50th, the fans are planning celebrations for all through 2013 and similarly back suring the 10th anniversary the whole of 1973 was used to celebrate (although back then all that meant was a behind the scenes book, a Radio Times special and launching of the Target novelisation range).
dr who 1999
September 26th, 2012 - 9:05pmthe first 2 episodes was broadcasted in December 1972, the other in January 1973, dunno why they didn’t show it in November 1973
andrew
September 26th, 2012 - 9:16pmMaybe timings, it was the first of a new season, maybe the BBC couldn’t find time to put it on.
dr who 1999
September 26th, 2012 - 9:36pmmight be,yea
Anonymous
September 26th, 2012 - 11:33pmRead my explanation above. It’s just a part of the tenth anniversary celebrations. Various other things were planned but fell through (like a planned twelve parter that in teh end got split into Frontier in Space and Planet of the Daleks but follwoed practically the same story).
dr who 1999
September 27th, 2012 - 5:38pmsorry, didn’t Se that there
auton101
