 EXCLUSIVE SEEDS OF DOOM SET ANNOUNCED
Forbidden Planet Exclusive
Character Options and Forbidden Planet have teamed up once again to offer fans of the Classic Series another exclusive set from the hit TV series, Doctor Who.
SEEDS OF DOOM 1976
Seeds of Doom sees two alien seed pods that are found buried in the Antarctic permafrost. The Fourth Doctor, accompanied by Sarah-Jane Smith, realises that they are from a Krynoid, a form of voracious plant life that infects and transforms all animal life on planets upon which it becomes established.
One of the pods opens and infects a scientist at an Antarctic base but the developing Krynoid is destroyed by a bomb set to cover the tracks of two men, Scorby and Keeler, who have made off with the other pod for their boss, eccentric plant collector Harrison Chase.
The second pod infects Keeler and he also becomes a Krynoid, rapidly growing to giant proportions. UNIT are called in, and they arrange for the Krynoid to be bombed before it can spread its pods across the Earth.
Contents:
1 x Fourth Doctor action figure
1 x Krynoid action figure
1 x Cutlass accessory
1 x Open Seed Pod accessory
1 x Closed Seed Pod accessory
This set is now available to pre-order from Forbidden Planet and is due in store from March 2012.

20 JANUARY 2012 | BIG CHIEF STUDIOS | 1:6 COLLECTORS FIGURES
ELEVENTH DOCTOR 1:6 ACCESSORY EXPANSION PACKS REVEALED!
Create your favorite Doctor!
BIG Chief Studios are proud to announce a range of Expansion Packs to compliment their 1:6 scale Collector figures.
Available exclusively at www.bigchiefstudios.co.uk, both Accessory and Costume Expansion Packs will be sold separately. In addition BIG Chief Studios will also release articulated bodies for collectors to purchase, so that they may create an entirely new version of a character.
There are so many costumes for each of the Doctors themselves, and BIG Chief knows that every fan has a particular favourite. However the team behind this great new range have seen it is simply not viable to bring each and every version to market. Together with an enormous cast of characters, aliens and monsters just waiting to be developed, BIG Chief Studios believe that the Expansion Packs will offer collectors a more affordable route to creating the figure that they want to display.
Starting with Expansion Packs for the Eleventh Doctor the first packs are due for release later this year and will include:
‘THE ALMOST PEOPLE’ COSTUME EXPANSION PACK
1 x Tweed Jacket
1 x Blue Shirt
1 x Blue Bow Tie
1 x Pair of Boots (St. John’s Mining Facility)
‘THE ALMOST PEOPLE’ ACCESSORY EXPANSION PACK
1 x Eleventh Doctor “Ganger” Portrait Head
1 x Sonic Screwdriver (Open)
1 x Torch
1 x Flesh Puddle with Face
‘CLOSING TIME’ COSTUME EXPANSION PACK
1 x Green Three Quarter Length Overcoat
1 x Pair of Trousers with Blue Braces
1 x Pair of Boots
‘CLOSING TIME’ ACCESSORY EXPANSION PACK
1 x Eleventh Doctor Portrait with Stetson Hat
2 x Cybermats: 1 x Search Mode & 1 x Attack Mode
1 x Sonic Screwdriver (Closed)
1 x Toy Store Name Badge
Stay tuned for more details soon!

ELEVENTH DOCTOR 1:6 COLLECTORS FIGURE UPDATE
Important Announcement from BIG Chief Studios
Dear customers,
We have received a number of requests for an update for the release date of our forthcoming Eleventh Doctor figure. We understand how keen you all are to finally own your very own Doctor and believe us we are desperate to deliver them to you all.
However, despite our best efforts and due to circumstances beyond our control, we have to regretfully inform you that the shipping date has been delayed until the end of April.
The delay has largely been due to problems with our original vendor, in whom we have invested heavily. As a licensee we are bound by the BBCs ethical code of conduct, which any vendor must agree to abide by. Unfortunately there were issues with our original vendor which they failed to work toward to resolve.
Given the urgency of the situation we travelled to China at the end of November last year to meet with an alternate vendor. We are happy to report that our new vendors are a fantastic company with extensive experience in the high-end collectors 1:6 scale field. Production is now underway and they are working hard to catch up and if possible improve upon the April shipping date.
On a positive note we are pleased to announce that our Amy Pond 1:6 Scale Collector Figure will be available at the same time as the Eleventh Doctor. The full product reveal will be posted on our website www.bigchiefstudios.co.uk very soon, so stay tuned.
Our customers are very important to us, we appreciate that many of you will be disappointed. So by way of a small apology we will be including an additional accessory with both the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond figures.
The Eleventh Doctor will now also come with the Tenth Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver as seen in the very first episode of series 5 “The Eleventh Hour”.
Amy Pond will now also come with the Raggedy TARDIS to accompany Raggedy Amy as seen in the very first episode of series 5 “The Eleventh Hour”.
Once again we can only apologise for the delay and hope that you can see that we are doing our very best to ensure that there are no further delays and to deliver your figures as quickly as possible.
Thank you
The BIG Chief Team

06 JANUARY 2012 | CLASSIC SERIES | FORBIDDEN PLANET EXCLUSIVE
 TWO NEW SETS FOR 2012
Fans of the Sixth and Seventh Doctor era are in for a treat as Forbidden Planet reveals two brand new sets for 2012!
 |
ATTACK OF THE CYBERMEN 1985 SET
When something disturbs the TARDIS in flight, the Sixth Doctor is determined to find out the reason why. Landing in London, 1985, he and Peri are shocked to find the Cybermen are hiding in London’s sewers! Becoming their prisoner, the Doctor is forced to take the Cybermen to their home planet, Telos. There he discovers the inhuman monsters have captured another time vessel and plan to change history. They want to redirect Halley’s Comet so it crashes into Earth in 1985 – the year before their original home planet, Mondas, was destroyed. PERI Perpugilliam Brown, known as Peri, was an eighteen year-old American Botany student holidaying in Lanzarote with her step-father, when the Fifth Doctor and Turlough landed nearby. Turlough rescued Peri when she tried to swim to shore from her uncle’s boat, and took her inside the TARDIS to recover. The TARDIS took off with Peri still on board. Headstrong and argumentative, Peri stayed with the Doctor and helped him through his most difficult regeneration to date. Peri’s fate is unclear.
Contents:1 x Peri action figure.1 x Rogue Cyberman action figure (with detachable faceplate).1 x Cybergun accessory.
This set is now available to pre-order from Forbidden Planet for £26.99.
REMEMBERANCE OF THE DALEKS 1988 SET
The TARDIS arrives in London in November 1963, where the Seventh Doctor and Ace discover that two rival factions of Daleks - one loyal to the Dalek Emperor and one to the Dalek Supreme - are seeking the Hand of Omega, a powerful Time Lord device that the first Doctor hid there during an earlier sojourn on Earth. The Daleks are focusing their search around Coal Hill School - the school that the Doctor's grand-daughter Susan attended - while a human military unit led by Group Captain Gilmore is attempting to resist their incursions. The Imperial Daleks eventually capture the device. The Dalek Emperor is revealed to be Davros, now with only the last vestiges of his humanoid form remaining. The Doctor begs him not to use the Hand but is ignored. However, this is just the final ruse in a complex trap laid by the Doctor. The Hand of Omega utterly destroys the Dalek home planet, Skaro, and then returns to destroy their forces orbiting Earth.
Contents:1 x Dalek Emperor Davros action figure.1 x Destroyed Imperial Dalek action figure.
This set is now available to pre-order from Forbidden Planet for £29.99.
