 26 April 2010 | Classic | Silver Nemesis Cybermen Twin Pack Announced!

Underground Toys and Forbidden Planet Exclusive

Underground Toys and Forbidden Planet are pleased to announce the latest Classic Series action figures in their line of exclusive Doctor Who action figures.

Based on the 1988 episode ‘Silver Nemesis’, this exclusive figure set contains a Cyber Leader and Cyberman each with a Cybergun. Due to be released in all Forbidden Planet UK stores and selected US retailers from July 2010, this latest release is priced at £24.99 and is now available to pre-order.

Find out more about the Silver Nemesis:

The Seventh Doctor and Ace visit Windsor, England in 1988, where three factions - the Cybermen, a group of Neo-Nazis and a 17th Century time travelling sorceress named Lady Peinforte - are each attempting to capture a weapon made of a living metal, Validium, created as the ultimate defence for Gallifrey. The weapon is now in the form of a statue of Lady Peinforte and has three components that must be brought together in order to be activated.

In order to foil an earlier attempt to control it, the Doctor launched the weapon inside an asteroid, into a 25 year orbit over 300 years ago. The asteroid now crashes back to Earth near Windsor Castle. The Doctor plays the three rival groups off against one other until eventually he appears to surrender the statue to the Cybermen. However, this is just another carefully-laid trap by the Doctor and the Cybermen warships are totally wiped out when they attempt to control the weapon.

When he returns to her life after twelve years, he’s still wearing the same battered clothes but, shortly before facing down the Atraxi, he selects for himself a new outfit, ‘borrowed’ from various lockers at the local hospital. Tweed jacket, bow tie and boots in place, the Eleventh Doctor is now ready to face the future…

This new toy range is a must-have for children of all ages and for stalwart Doctor Who fans, and has been produced in special edition, one-off collectable “regeneration”-style packaging.
