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.

3-doctors-box580

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.

brig-set-02580

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.

brig-set-01580

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.

brig-set-jo-01580

Behind these events is Omega, a figure from Time Lord history whose solar engineering provided the power for time travel.

brig-set-gel-01580

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…

      Day Of the Daleks, Frontier in Space, The Daemons, Carnival of Monsters, The Three Doctors, Terror of the Autons, The Sea Devils and this last one in my opinion is very underrated, The Time Monster. Hope this helps.

    Almost defiantly these will look better in hand although I wouldn’t want to change the Brig, he looks awesome.
    I think the gel guard should be a little oranger or redder and Jo’s face is unusual . . . . .

      Yeah, that would be cool, I think if demand wasn’t high for the gel guard, the doctor would be in this set. (which I would have preferred!)

    This may be a bit out of the blue, but does anyone want a jacket less 5th doctor!? I dunno why, but CO did a lovely job of the pattern and texture on the jumper and I would love a figure of him just in that. I think it would make a great variant?

      Never saw the Three Doctors but I think the Gel Guard makes a surprisingly good figure and the Brigadier is perfect.
