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

January 12th, 2013 - 11:42amHow is the packaging booboo?? It looks great, is it possible to keep those 3D walls when taking it out for background?
booboo
January 12th, 2013 - 12:36pmif your careful cutting round the tape although jo’s plastic moulded holder is stuck to the back wall so you will need to cut the ties form the front and you will still see it
andrew
January 12th, 2013 - 5:09pmNice, and Im loving the lit look on the Gel guard, makes it look much more accurate!
andrew
January 12th, 2013 - 11:32amThis has to be one of the best, if not the best classic set yet, mine should arrive today, and i’m looking forward to it!! TBH I was most excited at first for Jo, now I think i’m going to like the Brigadier much more!
CONNORTHEDOCTOR
January 12th, 2013 - 11:24amI never knew you could take the coat off! Well mine was dispatched yesterday so only a matter of time until it arrives.
booboo
January 12th, 2013 - 11:25amthe arms are in the back of the box, easily missed
Radburn
January 12th, 2013 - 1:31pmAs in the back of the box where you can’t see them or what? I haven’t opened the box yet & only looked through the plastic & couldn’t see them?
booboo
January 12th, 2013 - 2:06pmthey are behind the back image, you wont see them unless you take that out

January 12th, 2013 - 1:38pmbehind the arch that joe staning in on the left hand side
CONNORTHEDOCTOR
January 12th, 2013 - 1:38pmYes mine came about an hour ago and Booboo if you didnt upload the pic of her with the different arms i would not of got it out. I agree easily missed and one of the best sets they have done. I myself like playing with toys and going to start uploading adventures on youtube and have a great adventure planned with these figures. Such a great price though for all these defiantly worth buying!
Radburn
January 13th, 2013 - 7:05amThanks for the info! I’m wondering how many people have slung the packaging missing the pistol & arms, precisely because they weren’t aware?
Jamie Fletcher
January 11th, 2013 - 12:22pmHas anyones set arrived? Are they now on display in Forbidden Planet?
booboo

Jamie Fletcher

January 11th, 2013 - 4:22pmJust got mine. So chuffed with it! Best set ever?
Anonymous
January 11th, 2013 - 5:38pmThey’re not on shelves in Forbidden Planet or Worlds Apart in Liverpool today, but when I asked about them it seems as though there may be late stock shipping for those stores.
Matthew Bazza
January 12th, 2013 - 9:00amJust got mine its a really good set.
Mechanoid Fan
January 10th, 2013 - 9:33pmAnyone know when this will be in stores then if its being dispatched online? 🙂
MattyB
January 10th, 2013 - 2:31pmHow long do you think the delivery will take.
Jamie Fletcher
January 10th, 2013 - 12:26pmIt’s now despatching from FPI!
MattyB
January 10th, 2013 - 2:29pmMine has too
Andrew Hall
January 10th, 2013 - 6:21pmWell mine hasnt, money hasnt been taken either, so it must be random selection for the orders
Jamie Fletcher
January 10th, 2013 - 7:39pmI ordered mine the day it was announced but I don’t know if that makes any difference with despatches.
CONNORTHEDOCTOR
January 10th, 2013 - 7:45pmI ordered a month later and mines been dispatched
Andrew Hall
January 10th, 2013 - 11:54pmOrdered on the 26/9/12 and still not been dispatched, bit annoyed really. Its still on the site as not being released until 11.1.13, yet some have been sent out?!
auton101
January 5th, 2013 - 7:38pmim not getting this set, im waiting for something better to come out. i would like a brig and jo, but im not bothered about the gell guard.
McGann is the Doctor
January 10th, 2013 - 2:05pmI don’t care for the Gel Guard either, and since it always takes me AGES to get a set (only got the Keeper of Traken set a month ago !) I may aswell wait and see.
But this set is DEFINITLY good for the Brigadier and Jo, they look great 🙂
Calum Gillan
January 4th, 2013 - 2:53pmI have pre – ordered this with the Face of Evil Leela. I don’t think Jo looks like Katy Manning and don’t think Brigadier looks like Nicholas Courtney yet I bought it just because I really want a Jo and Brig. Leela and this set together cost £44.
McGann is the Doctor
January 10th, 2013 - 2:03pmYes they do !

Slitheen92
January 3rd, 2013 - 2:31pmNo!! I was so looking forward for this, this annoys me, they’ve had months to prepare this, it was announced in September and yet they still cannot supply it in time.
andrew
January 3rd, 2013 - 3:47pmThat sucks but its only one week, gives them chance for quality control checks and more announcements.
luke kelly

January 2nd, 2013 - 10:40pmI would like a set of the new TARDIS, but it will be in the new 3.75 inch range,that sucks, but yes, main sets for this year MUST include Bessie and Classic TARDIS console room. Minimum!
luke kelly
January 9th, 2013 - 2:41pmreally want some new classics as i hear they will stay 5″ size which is good!!
jamie, ace, classic sarah jane, some more daleks as well like such as the black dalek with yellow lights in this picture: http://www.kasterborous.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/DWM-447-1024×752.png
the dalek is next to the imperial dalek which is next to special weapons dalek!!
McGann is the Doctor
January 10th, 2013 - 2:09pmSome sets, for the 1986 story Mysterious planet with the Sixth Doctor in his red waistcoat, bigger affro and umbrella, the giant robot thing (that would make a great figure) the Valeyard, a Terror of the Vervoids set with a jacketless Sixth Doctor in that amazing purple-red-green waistcoat and a Vervoid.
A peri from Mysterious Planet would be nice but her oufit was SO amazing I don’t think Character would be able to pull it off, that is make it, not pull it off in the other sense, that would be fun ❗ Just as long as they make the Doctor.

December 27th, 2012 - 9:14pmWhy isn’t this being stocked at Forbidden Planet.com?

BOOBOO JR
November 25th, 2012 - 6:33pmI’m new to the Classic Figure Collecting, will this set be another good one to start off with?
Anonymous
November 26th, 2012 - 1:42pmYes!!! Go and get this set when it comes out it is really good. Another one I would go for is the enemies of the third doctor set. That set is really good to but it’s quite a lot of money for 3 figures.
josh
November 27th, 2012 - 4:30pmno if your new go for the more iconic sets first
1st docter and tardis
peri and cybermen
11 docters box set
leela and fendhal or leela on its own
revelation of the daleks set
auton101
November 29th, 2012 - 4:25pmid agree with anoymous, the enemies of the third doctor is a great set and this looks great too. alot of the classic sets that had come out years ago would have the prices risen by now, or on most sites out of stock. but go with a set you want the most. i usually go for the ones with great monsters in and characters.
thedaleksdeath
December 6th, 2012 - 8:16amAnd stuff to start off with 11 doctors boxset any TARDIS gift set and a Davros box-set.
thedaleksdeath
December 6th, 2012 - 8:48pmPlease call it Doctor not Docter.

Andrew
November 25th, 2012 - 6:10pmThank you Katy! Now I just need Bessie and the right Pertwee, and I am sorted for the Three doctors! Got the Lab from AFT! Just wish they would re-release Omega, cheaper! He’s the only one I need!
booboo, you think most of future classic releases are gonna use this 3d back drops?
Also are there any rumours of Christmas releases liek last year??
booboo
November 25th, 2012 - 6:25pmdont think there will be anything else this year – but hold onto your hats for 2013, i think they will do the backdrops where they can
Andrew
November 27th, 2012 - 3:52pmOh theres only one thing im hoping for in 2013, either a rerelease of the Dapol Console set, just for fun lol, or the character classic console, light sounds, interechangable doors, scanner section and console. different period console sets to be release maybe with an exclusive figure with each one, either a compnaion doctor??
Twelth cyber Legion
December 14th, 2012 - 7:26pmSurely they MUST give us a classic console in 2013 if there are not going to be 5” new series figures
Ben
November 17th, 2012 - 3:38pmThis figure set looks a definite good one,i would like and iam happy for them releasing the brigadier which looks really great!! 🙂
Steampunk Doctor
November 7th, 2012 - 7:46pmGetting this definetely to accompany my Omega !
Steampunk Doctor
November 11th, 2012 - 5:49pmI love figures with guns , dont know why lol
Andrew
November 3rd, 2012 - 1:46pmBest set yet, it’s got a awesome monster and it comes with not one but two of my favorite companions from the 10th anniversary special ‘The Three Doctors’ episode. I only have one problem, it’s the fact I have to wait for it for so long – wish it’ll get released early – even a day or a week earlier would be fantastic.
Mr Zarbi
November 1st, 2012 - 7:55amI always called the gel monster a jelly monster!

October 20th, 2012 - 7:56pmThe Gel Guard’s pincer is for shooting
Anonymous
November 1st, 2012 - 5:27pmkaty manning mouth has always been quite wide, so i think it accurate
GreenBob
October 14th, 2012 - 10:22pmJo is my best companion with Sarah Jane, then Brig, then Liz, then Yates and Benton. Three Doctors was alright but its not the reason I’m getting it. I’ve watched all Pertwees.
I’m literally crying with joy here! Can’t Wait!
Next Things I would like is Carnival Mask Auton, Police Auton with interchangeable heads, a plastic doll and a basket of daffodiles in 1 set. Then Yates and Benton with Third Doctor based on the Day of the Daleks costumes. Bonus would be Bok, Azal and Master in robes from the Daemons :smile
THE ERGON
October 12th, 2012 - 12:10pmI would love to know what katy manning REALLY thinks about that head sculpt.Doesn,t much look like her from what i see.
