 21 NOVEMBER 2011 | CHARACTER OPTIONS - FORBIDDEN PLANET | CLASSIC SERIES
 THE KEEPER OF TRAKEN SET PRE-ORDER OPEN
Forbidden Planet has released another exclusive set to their Classic Series range, manufactured by Character Options.
The Fourth Doctor and Adric learn from the wizened Keeper of Traken that a great evil has come to his planet in the form of a Melkur - a calcified statue. The Keeper is nearing the end of his reign and seeks the Doctor’s help in preventing the evil from taking control of the bioelectronic Source that is the keystone of the Traken Union’s civilisation.
The Melkur, via various deceptions, becomes the next Keeper. It is then, however, revealed to be the Master’s TARDIS. Its owner, still blackened and emaciated, hopes to use the Source’s power to regenerate himself. The Doctor manages to expel him and install a new Keeper in his place, but in a last minute ploy the Master traps one of the Traken Consuls, Tremas, and merges with his body before fleeing the planet.
Contents:
1 x The Fourth Doctor in Waistcoat action figure.
1 x The Master Decayed action figure.
1 x The Melkur Statue action figure.
1 x Master’s TARDIS as a Grandfather Clock
1 x Source Manipulator Sphere accessory.
This set is now available to pre-order for £39.99 from Forbidden Planet.

14 NOVEMBER 2011 | BIG CHIEF STUDIOS | 1:6 COLLECTOR FIGURES
NEW 1:6 COLLECTOR FIGURES IN DEVELOPMENT
To celebrate the launch of their brand new website, and Eleventh Doctor Pre-Order, BIG Chief Studios Limited are proud to announce two brand new 1:6 collectors figures to their Doctor Who range!
TENTH DOCTOR
Having received such an overwhelmingly positive response to their Eleventh Doctor figure, BIG Chief Studios felt need to relook at their product roll-out plan in order to ensure that their next figure release would prove equally, if not more sought-after.
After careful consideration BIG Chief Studios Ltd. are proud to announce the next character in their 1:6 Scale Collector Figures line will be... The Tenth Doctor.
Brilliantly portrayed on screen by actor David Tennant, the Tenth regeneration of the Time Lord first appeared on our screens in 2005. Tennant would go on to play the Doctor for three series plus the TV Specials.
Throughout his tenure, Doctor Who would see it’s viewing figures sour to new heights and the show became a firm fixture of the BBC’s prime time Saturday night broadcasting.
Undeniably a firm favourite amongst both fans and long-time followers of the show, with Tennant’s departure from the role in 2009, many wondered how he could ever be replaced.
As the third release in their line of 1:6 Scale Collector Figures, following Amy Pond, the Tenth Doctor will feature an authentic character portrait, tailored suit and trench coat, together with his trusty Sonic Screwdriver and signature accessories. A themed display base will complete the package.
Keep checking bigchiefstudios.co.uk and dwafo.co.uk for development updates and behind-the-scenes product sneak peeks for both these brand new releases!
THE WEEPING ANGEL
With countless monsters and aliens populating the universe, our friends at BIG Chief Studios wanted to choose a worthy adversary for their Eleventh Doctor figure.
After numerous discussions and brainstorming sessions, they kept coming back to arguably one of the show’s most scary creations – the Weeping Angels. The figure is currently at the earliest stage of development, but keep checking back for all they latest as they have exciting plans for these terrifying characters.

01 NOVEMBER 2011 | CLASSIC SERIES | FORBIDDEN PLANET EXCLUSIVE
CAVES OF ANDROZANI SILENT RELEASE
In a silent release, Forbidden Planet has made available a brand new Classic Series set to pre-order.
Recreate scenes from Doctor Who’s greatest story, as voted by Doctor Who Magazine readers in 2009, with this brand new set.
CAVES OF ANDROZANI
The Fifth Doctor and Peri arrive on Androzani Minor, the source of a life-prolonging drug called spectrox. Production of the drug is controlled by Sharaz Jek, a facially deformed madman in self imposed exile, who blames Morgus, a powerful industrialist on Androzani Major, for all his misfortunes. Jek is fighting Morgus’ troops on a daily basis using his android army.
Jek’s android weapons are supplied by gun-runners employed by Morgus, who then receives payment in refined spectrox. But, Jek becomes infatuated with Peri and saves her and the Doctor from execution by Morgus’ troops only to hold them prisoner himself. They escape Jek but contract spectrox toxaemia, a fatal condition with only one antidote - milk from a giant queen bat.
In a climactic battle, Morgus, Jek and all the soldiers are killed. The Doctor now dying, carries Peri back to the TARDIS, where he gives her the antidote. She recovers, but the Doctor has to regenerate to save his own life.
Contents:
Peri in Blouse
Sharaz Jek with Alternate head (not shown)
Android Head Accessory
