Action Figure Set: The Time Monster Set
The Time Monster Set
The Master, back on Earth has constructed a device to gain control over Kronos, a creature from outside of the time vortex. He uses the device but it proves dangerously unstable. The Third Doctor arrives and shuts down experiment but the Master reactivates it, using it to ensnare a High Priest of the lost city of Atlantis, and then to attack UNIT forces.
The Master takes travels back to Atlantis in his TARDIS, now in the guise of an advanced computer bank, to steal the sacred Crystal of Kronos with which he hopes to dominate Kronos. The Doctor follows in his TARDIS with Jo Grant but can’t prevent his enemy destroying Atlantis.
Escaping in their TARDIS’s the Doctor and the Master confront each other within the time vortex where the Doctor threatens to ‘time ram’ the Master’s TARDIS, a huge explosion caused by two or more TARDISes trying to materialise in the same place in Space and Time. The Doctor cannot bring himself do it, but Jo operates the controls and the two TARDIS’s collide.
Instead of the expected explosion both TARDISes reappear in a strange void. The ‘time ram’ energy has released Kronos, who agrees to return the Doctor and Jo to Earth but, plans to destroy the Master. The Doctor intervenes and pleads for mercy on the Master’s behalf ensuring he too goes free.

February 22nd, 2012 - 5:12pmI want to get first Master figure and as Delgardo is my favourite Master I want either this or the Axon set which is best and why? (I haven’t seen either Claws Of Axos or The Time Monster but I have read The Golden Ones in DWM)

dalek eternal
August 25th, 2011 - 11:43ami now what u mean when i come to getting the axon i might get it from ebay
dalek eternal
October 3rd, 2012 - 5:14pmi got both sets now because my grand parents got the axon set for me for christmas last year as well as the 11 doctors set

June 17th, 2011 - 2:58pmI haven’t seen the whole story of the Time Monster but I HAVE seen jsut a little of it and I liked what I saw. Gonna get that story on VHS after I watch Terror of he Autons on DVD. Best DVD release of the YEAR, it’s got to be ! 😀
MORLU
June 5th, 2011 - 6:59pmBought this and it looks good. The Tardis computer bank id basic and would have looked better if it had a sliding opening door but still good to have a Master Tardis. Hope they do a Piller, a Grandfather Clock and a Melkur Tardis with Anthony Ainley Master. Also this set came with a nice cardback insert of the tadis interior from the Time monster. Yes the big mixing bowl circles. (Hey I liked them)
THE DOCTOR RETURNS
March 31st, 2013 - 9:57amthey do the keeper of traken set i think
THE ERGON
May 26th, 2011 - 11:40amnot bad.though to call it the time monster set they could have included a kronos figure. character and underground should start doing monster/companion collectors sets if they cant include them in these themed sets. its all us fans want.
the flaw games
May 22nd, 2011 - 9:23ambooboo, which set looks better, this one, or the axon one
booboo
May 22nd, 2011 - 9:25amThe axos as it has the Master
hath57
May 22nd, 2011 - 5:33pmI thought this one did too ❓
THE DOCTOR RETURNS
May 1st, 2013 - 6:58pmI thought that one did to
Yes But in the Axos set the Master is in a different costume as the master but in this set he is still the master but in different clothes
Baisically there are different variants master or non master-master
McGann is The Doctor.
May 21st, 2011 - 12:15amI WANT this set, but I’ll probably have to turn it down ,and get the 4th Doctor’s screwdriver instead. But this IS a good set for me, because I hated that orange Krynoid from teh previous Master-set.
Bring out ananthony Ainley Master, with his Tardis COLUMN.:eek: I’d buy that in a FLASH!!
someone
May 21st, 2011 - 10:27pmNot many know this but the sculpts were different between axon and krynoid, minor tentacles and patterns but never the less different.
Is the Krynoid not certain? Surely an easy choice.
harold saxon
May 19th, 2011 - 11:50pmthe TCE was used by the 1st & 3rd masters,useful tool for him!
magicwho1
May 18th, 2011 - 8:40pmso the big things the tardis.Is that a sonic screwdriver in his hand?
who crazy!
May 19th, 2011 - 6:02pmIts his TCE! Honestly…

May 17th, 2011 - 8:24pmcan the master get in the tardis if not nobody will get it(definitly not me anyway)
booboo
May 17th, 2011 - 8:26pmI dont think it opens in anyway
McGann is The Doctor.
May 21st, 2011 - 12:23amI dont care if he cant get into that Tardis thing. It’s not ever been seen by me before, what?, yes Ive never seen that episode (but I will, later, on VHS) so I dont really care,
It’s a good set, I kid you not, because you get the excellent figure of Roger Delgado’s Master for £20. If you watched “The Time Monster” and didnt buy that lame Axonn (yeah, Axonn, in name only) set then you should definately have no qualms about GETTING this!! I dont. (actually, I do because I want the other Master,
Anthony Ainley, but this set’s still…
Sam Bradbury
May 17th, 2011 - 7:26pmI prefered the master and axon boxset
Silence Will Fall
May 21st, 2011 - 2:56pmMe too!!! this is only one figure and all the rest are accessories apart from the TARDIS.
Dalek Vader
May 17th, 2011 - 6:48pmPretty cool, I might have prevered Kronos himself or a master varenit but it still looks fantastic. Maybe we will see them later in the line. Also does roger’s hair look whiter?
superdalek
May 17th, 2011 - 4:29pmNot bad, not bad at all. 🙂
hardold saxon
May 17th, 2011 - 12:04amLove this,what a really cool item for master fans!Nice collection of item,i would buy it even though i have the axon set.
someone
May 16th, 2011 - 9:28pmMay I just clarify some things which seem to be spreading around online forums…
The Master is identicle sculpt to the axon set one.
The Tardis is not electronic.
The Tardis does not open.
The Tardis is rotocast.
The Tardis has a hole in the bottom due to it being rotocast (the same process used to make fast fod toy give aways)
The Tardis is sculpted and the front is NOT a sticker that would be far too cheap for COs already far too cheap choices.
Dalek Vader
May 17th, 2011 - 6:51pmshame it won’t open but oh, well it’s still a tardis. When you say rotocast do you mean like sil from the peri and sil two pack?
someone
May 17th, 2011 - 9:08pmYes, and the sontaran ship.
This will have a hole in the bottom!
Ryan
May 16th, 2011 - 9:14pmOh my goodness, I was only just watching The Time Monster at the Weekend! Well it’s a Great set but was a Red Jacketed Pertwee too much to ask for after all if you’ve got the Doctor’s accesory, where’s the Doctor?
McGann is The Doctor.
May 16th, 2011 - 7:42pmWoW this is COOL. They must have really watched the Time Monster, which I AM by the way getting on VHS. 😉
Or maybe DVD, but then it looks bad on my DVD shelf cause it’s like a mix of the two other Jon Pertwee stories The Time Warrior and Monster of Peladon. But we’ll see about that. 😉
the doctor and bradley
May 16th, 2011 - 6:52pmdidnt get the axon set but i will buy this
crazy doctor who fan
May 16th, 2011 - 6:51pmhow much do these cost?
booboo
May 16th, 2011 - 6:52pm£19.99
Mumble5557
May 18th, 2011 - 6:45amTo be honest its not a bad price but i like series 5-6 action figures wave 1 more. I might buy this but its a general price.

May 16th, 2011 - 6:33pm(apologies for repeating this twice but I made a mistake while uploading it).
it’s good that CO & UT are doing more playsets but why release the same Master figure agian!
They could of easily retooled a john simm body into the suit the master wears in the first half of the episode and put the Delgado head on.
Though it come’s with cool acessorys and another TARDIS but having a rereleased figure has really put me off. I’ll have another think on whever I should buy it

May 16th, 2011 - 6:22pmLOL oh yeah 🙂

May 16th, 2011 - 6:22pmthey should have done his TARDIS interior from logopolis

May 16th, 2011 - 6:22pmNice set although I won’t be getting it
Jack Grady
May 16th, 2011 - 6:20pmi hope the TARDIS has sounds
JaredofMO
May 16th, 2011 - 4:49pmThis better be cheap, seeing as Delgaldo’s already been released. I’d suspect many would want it for his TARDIS and the accessories.
