Which Five Companions Would You Like Released?

Which 5 Companions Would You Like to See Released in the Future ?

A few years ago we ran a poll to find out which 5 Companions you would Like to See added to the classic figure range.

Three of the top five have now been released so its time to find out your most wanted companion figures again.


The results from the previous poll with over 12,000 votes. Three of the top four which were clear winners have been released.

Ace, who has just been announced was the second most wanted figure next to the Brigadier…

    i personally would like them to release all the most important companions that defined each doctor. the ‘lesser’ companions’ maybe later down the line.

    The demand for Jamie McCrimmon seems overwhelming, would be my top choice as well

      seeing that yeti prototype in that link last year, you,d think it would give them reason to release a few jamie figures along with the 2nd doctor in his shaggy yeti coat.

      apparently its very unlikely we will ever see the Yeti of the Fur coated second Doctor

      whys that?, have they said?

      July 5th, 2013 - 11:42am

      Came from Alasdair Dewar

      What people saw in the yeti picture was just the sculpt (as with some of the other figures in “That Picture”)

      The tooling is the most expensive part (that’s the individual moulds that all the parts are made up from, costs a fortune) and it never got to that stage – presumably because it was either to expensive of rights issues.

      That’s the problem with leaked images, many assumed the yeti existed ready for retail – it actually never did

      I think with the 2nd Doctor they were banking on a new 11 Doctors set for the mass market to make the cost of new tooling and mouldings viable but not enough retailers were interested i gather

      Thats a real shame.fingers crossed theres enough interest in future for the makers and retailers alike to have a change of heart.

    I think the Unit team deserve figures, including Sarah jane, Benton and Yates. Others I really want sooner or later are Romana 2, Adric, Nyssa and Teagan.

    I want a Keeper of traken – Castrovalva bunch of sets, including a proper Master, Nyssa, tegan, Adric and maybe the monitor or a new TARDIS PB, however, I did hope the SDCC exclusive would be a TARDIS console set, I do hope that that is one of the things they have up their sleeve for later in the year.

    My votes go to Jamie (To go with Patrick Troughton), Sarah Jane (For anyone who has the Genesis of the Daleks, Revenge of the Cybermen, Sontaran Experiment, and Pyramids of Mars sets, which I don’t, so at the moment this vote is more for other collectors than myself), Romana II (To complete my City of Death set)), Tegan, and Nyssa (Because the Fifth Doctor has only one companion, and he travelled with her for just two stories).

    We really need a companion for each doctor, for example, we’ve got so far:

    Third Doctor – Jo Grant + Brigadier
    Fourth Doctor – Leela + K9
    Fifth + Sixth Doctor – Peri
    Seventh Doctor – Ace

    What we could do with the most is some 60’s companions. I think it would be best if they were ones that travelled with the Doctor on their own at some point,
    like Susan, Steven and most of all… JAMIE!

    I think we also need some more iconic Fifth Doctor companions like Tegan or Nysaa. And a classic Sarah Jane too.

    • The Supreme Dalek

      July 4th, 2013 - 9:52pm

      I just love Liz Shaw because in my opinion, she is one of the very few companions that are unique. For example, she was a very clever scientist that actually understood what the Doctor said, unlike most (of even the rest) of the companions.

    • trenzalore

      July 4th, 2013 - 9:54pm

      Yeah I liked her too, she was like a challenge for the doctor (in a good way) But that’s also one of the reasons why she had to leave the show

      she left because she got pregnat

    • trenzalore

      July 5th, 2013 - 7:32am

      that was contributing factor. There is a documentary kind of thing on inferno SE that said why she had to leave and it said it was because she was too smart for the doctor and viewers didn’t know what was going on.

  • trenzalore

    July 4th, 2013 - 9:34pm

    I think for the 50th they should do a ‘unearthly child’ set that includes the actual DVD and the 1st doctor, Susan, Ian, Barbra and the TARDIS.

    • trenzalore

      July 4th, 2013 - 9:46pm

      Yeah suppose. I think it would be right to do this set because it’s the first episode and we are celebrating 50 years of who so it would fit right. Although I can understand if they didn’t do it because most people probably don’t even know there was doctor who before 2005 🙄

    July 4th, 2013 - 9:21pm

    Why would the brigadier be the top companion were are getting/ Have 3 variants of him already why not have someone like Jamie, Ian or Romana

    I would like

    1 Katarina Reason: Because She would be good go reconstruct the sence where she dies
    2 Ian Because: He is my favourite one of the first three companions and he would work
    3 Benton Because: We need more people for our U.N.I.T army and more soldiers to help the third dr

    over all I think we need companion sets

    Thinking about it, having a Kamelion figure does present an opportunity for story telling. There are many people on the internet who make web comic stories with the new figures in which Kamelion could feature…

      They should still do a kamelion figure and kamelion/master figure sprayed silver on his face and hands.
