Remembrance of The Daleks Ace Figure

Underground Toys SDCC Ace Figure 2013 Exclusive

Due end of August

Available to pre order now from www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk

UK Price is £15.99

ace-50

The Seventh Doctor first met Ace in the Iceworld trading colony on the planet Svartos. Ace was from Perivale on Earth in the 1980s, but had been deposited on Iceworld in a freak time storm. She hated her real name ‘Dorothy’, and instead rebelliously went by ‘Ace’. She had a dangerous aptitude for high explosives and never shied away from danger.

ace-new

A teen tearaway Ace matured considerably during her travels with the Doctor, encountering on the way many wondrous planets and places and a true menagerie of enemies from eight foot tall blue Demons, malevolent Victorian houses, the relentless Cybermen, inter-dimensional Arthurian knights, a psychopathic robot called the Kandyman and even the Master while helping the Cheetah People. But it was against the Daleks on Earth in 1963 that she showed the most pluck by dispatching several of them with her trademark Nitro-9 explosives, an RPG and even a baseball bat enhanced by Time Lord technology…Wicked!

Set Includes..

  • Three Nitro 9 cans
  • Rocket launcher with missile
  • Ruck Sack
  • Baseball Bat
  • Removable Jacket with 2 alternative arms to produce t Shirt variant

    Who thinks it is about time we get a Wave 3 of Classic Figures? As long as it is NOT Collect & Build, seven figures would do nicely:

    Silurian from DOCTOR WHO AND THE SILURIANS
    Sarah Jane and Spider from PLANET OF THE SPIDERS
    Vervoid from TERROR OF THD VERVOIDS
    Kandyman from THE HAPPINESS PATROL
    Mel from THE ULTIMATE FOE
    Cheetah Person from SURVIVAL
    Liz Shaw from DOCTOR WHO AND THE SILURIANS

      July 18th, 2013 - 2:06pm

      And a Wave 4 of five figures (just so that people don’t get annoyed with having to buy loads of figures):

      Grace Holloway from THE TV MOVIE
      Muto from GENESIS OF THE DALEKS
      Tegan from RESSURECTION OF THE DALEKS
      Raston Warrior Robot from ??? (DON’T KNOW THE SERIAL NAME)
      Ambassador Twin Pack (one with revealed creature one without) from THE AMBASSADORS OF DEATH

    • Doctor 909

      July 18th, 2013 - 3:15pm

      Yeah we need a classic wave 3 at least. I really like those ideas especially wave 3.

    • Dalek The Supreme

      July 18th, 2013 - 3:21pm

      I think they should have Wave 3 be:
      *Dalek (The Five Doctors)
      *Castellan Spandrell (The Deadly Assassin)
      *Silurian (The Silurians)
      *Kandyman (The Happiness Patrol)
      *Menoptera (The Web Planet)
      *Sarah Jane with Giant Spider (Planet of Spiders)

    • The Flying Shark

      July 18th, 2013 - 3:35pm

      The Raston Warrior Robot is from The Five Doctors.

    • CG

      July 18th, 2013 - 10:48pm

      I agree with ‘The Supreme Dalek’ and ‘Dalek the Supreme’ that we should have some version of a classic Sarah Jane.

    • TheBritishCupOfTea

      July 19th, 2013 - 6:06pm

      for wave 3 i’d love to see
      -silurian
      -resurrection of the daleks Davros (single carded)
      -Raston Warrior Robot
      -Wheel in Space cyberman
      -Kandyman
      -Special Weapons Dalek

      and maybe a movie dalek (even though it’s not canon)

    May have just accidentally pressed the pre-order button, that may have happened, oh who am I kidding, I really want one. Interesting though that we, or at least I, haven’t seen any pictures of this figure in its ‘jacket off’ form that the description describes, so it will be interesting to see what that looks like.

    Loving the look of Ace! The figure is a definite bargain if you can get it direct from the con as it’s $20 there, which works out at just £13. I have a friend who is very kindly getting me the figure and she’ll bring it back with her.

    I think I can see a Survival varient comming out next year in a set with:
    Ace (New survival varient) with changeable head with gold eyes,
    Cheetah Person,
    7th Doctor (No Hat) with skull and umbrella,
    The Master with gold eyes
    All they need to do to make the Ace is remove the skirt, change the hair, roll up the sleeves on the jacket and change the top and shirt varient arms to red.

    • The Greater Intelligence

      July 17th, 2013 - 3:05am

      I agree, the rocket launcher was only used in a couple scenes of Remembrance and isn’t iconic. The of her and it above makes her look too military. The boombox was used in a few stories, is iconic, and shows her more as the 16-year-old she actually is underneath all that Ace-ness.

    • josh smith

      July 17th, 2013 - 6:37am

      no the rocket launcher is far better. you can give it to the brig or when they make other UNIT solders you can give it to them. i would get rid of her baseball bat instead as t looks bad.

    • Dalek The Supreme

      July 18th, 2013 - 1:28am

      I’m cool with it, as it feels more iconic than the boombox, though the boombox was important in Silver Nemesis.

      would be really nice if people would atually tell their customers this first rather than finding out this way

      so did everyone, they may have done it with this just before release but the cats out of the bag now

      When Underground toys used twitter and Facebook (and this site did it as well you may remember this site crashed at the big reveal!) to tease the three doctor set bit by bit it build up a huge amount of good will and everyone loved it. (i assume they realised just how much).
