The Time Warrior Sontaran Figure Set

The Time Warrior Sontaran Figure Set

This set is available to buy online from Forbidden Planet or Forbidden Planet International

Journalist Sarah Jane Smith covertly gains access to a research centre where top scientists are being held in protective custody whilst UNIT investigates the disappearance of a number of their colleagues. The missing scientists have been kidnapped by a Sontaran, Linx, and taken back to medieval England, where they are working under hypnosis to repair his crashed spaceship.

The Third Doctor follows in the TARDIS, and Sarah Jane stows away. In return for shelter, Linx has provided a robber baron called Irongron with anachronistically advanced weapons to use in attacks on neighbouring castles.

The Doctor helps Sir Edward of Wessex to repel one such attack, then he and Sarah Jane conspire to drug the food in Irongron’s kitchens so that the weapons can be removed while the men are unconscious. Aided by one of the kidnapped scientists, Rubeish, he then sends the others back to the 20th Century using Linx’s primitive time travel equipment.

Linx shoots Irongron down and gets ready to leave in his repaired ship. Hal, one of Sir Edward’s archers, fires an arrow into the vulnerable probic vent at the back of his neck, killing him. The Doctor, Sarah Jane and Hal escape just before the ship explodes, destroying the castle.

In this exclusive set we present the Classic Sontaran: Commander Linx and his iconic Sontaran space ship along with the Third Doctor in Green Jacket and Sonic Screwdriver.

Contents :
1 x Third Doctor in Green Jacket action figure
1 x Sontaran Commander Linx action figure with helmet and gun
1 x Sontaran Ship

Please note: pictures below maybe of a pre-production sample.

    I’m starting to get annoyed with FP now! They’ve moved the date for this set up to 06 July! This isn’t the first time this has happened. When are FP actually gonna sell stuff ON TIME & UNDELAYED?!? 😥

      A valid point, their Sixth-Doctor T-shirt still hasnt come out, among many other things.

      I think it’s probably because of this
      Pre-ordering that customers do. It sets them back, and they cant seem to keep up with demand. 😮

      This set is WORTH getting. The Sontaran is THE Sontaran. No more sontaran figures needed, this is the definitive and only one I would need on my shelves. Nuff said

      McGann is so the Doctor: I agree that Linx the Sontaran is the proper AND the best Sontaran ever. 😉

    THIS is the set that my moneys on, I didnt want a set from “the SONTARAN experiment” I always wanted The Time Warrior set!! 😎

    Great job on that pertwee sculpt, goes well with that cloaked one from the 11 Doctors set.

    -(and he wore that cloak in the Time Warrior, I’d know because it’s one of my favourites!!) 🙂 😉

    The Linx figure shows this set up brilliantley. I’m happy the sontaran pod has a brown door inside not the green and yellow one from the sontaran experiment. Good attention to detail! 🙂 😉

    From the looks of the promo picture they’ve scrapped the mud effect on Pertwee, which means you have a very rare prototype, Booboo! 😀

      I acquired the other ebay one so I secretly hope so but DWW are notorious for producing incorrect images. Cricket Ball Doctor on several and Sonic Screwdriver with Season 18 Doctor to mention just a few…

      I saw 4 on ebay from 3 different sellers, the person who had two had one that came with some sort of sample label i seem to remember, silly things is mine cost me less than the FP Release

    I think it’s quite a good set but why not make a maroon version of Jon Pertwee, you know a maroon jacket because it some ways it was his sort of main jacket after the navey.

    that looks nothing like the interior of his ship! You did get to see it they could have done a plaset with a lift off roof so that the sontaran could sit and everything. doesnt it just annoy you that character options have no imagination!!! ggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Now Im annoyed

      I do think some of the recent figures of Matt Smith were very undetailed and I like detail. At some point if I had the chance I would mould my own and paint it with more detail. I mean they could do the shirt better instead of just lines and the christmas Matt Smith figure’s jacket could of had the brown line pattern on it I mean it just needs lines.

    I hope there will be a PLANET OF THE SPIDERS set, with the Doctor and Sarah. If they make just ONE classic Sarah, we’ll be buying, so I hope there will be a set based on that story.

    With a couple of Metebillis spiders and a repainted Third Doctor costume. 😉

    And maybe they could even kill two birds with one stone, and make a Brigadier to it, aswell. Infact, they should just do a UNIT set, with the Doctor Jo and Brig. Nuff said. 😉

    Don’t you think this is a pattern . Last year there were a lot of dalek sets so this year they make a few sontaran sets and maybe next year more sets . Oh and there were a few cyberman double packs aswell.

      From a production point of view its cheaper to produce these sets on the same production line than keep going back to have to set it up all again, that’s probably why we have had 4 Davros/Dalek sets in a row and 2 sontaran pods.

    Wot wood have made this set better is that they cood have done a sarah jane figure instead of a new 3rd doctor varient. And also i c that CO have not printed the number across the pod door like they did with the sontaran experiment set. Also 2 day marks the 15th anniversy of jon pertwees death.

    I like this set and will be sure to get hold of one when it comes out. Like I finally got for the Sontaran Experiment.. But like the Sontaran Experiment set the ship lets it down.. I didn’t know till I got early this week the ship door opens BUT you can’t put the Sontaran in the Ship it is pretty much just a ball of rubber that opens.. The seat what there is of the inside with the seat is pretty much right behind the door.. It should been made so the Sontaran figure and go inside it and close the door like with the Tardis you can buy.
