Toy News: Doctor Who at SDCC!



Exciting things happening with Underground Toys this July at San Diego Comic Con!


Underground Toys has no less than 6 exclusive items this year!! 5 Doctor Who’s and one great Torchwood item (details to be officially released very soon).
Also the BBC have recently confirmed that the star of the show, our very own 10th Doctor – David Tennant – is visiting the show along with his buddies Russell T Davies (Writer) and Julie Gardner (Producer)!

Sixth Doctor with ‘Real Time’ Blue coat - $20
This alternative costume was most visibly used in the BBC webcast 'Real Time' (having previously appeared on a few book and audio book covers). It varies vastly from the gaudy coat of many colors normally worn by Colin Baker's sixth Doctor whilst retaining some design elements including the dandy's tie and question mark shirt collar. For many fans this has become almost the preferred costume with it's more muted, less frivolous, colorways.

Second Doctor with Telos Cyber Tombs Cyberman 2 Pack (colour) - $40
This is the first appearance of the second Doctor, Patrick Troughton as part of Character Options classic figure series. Troughton was the first actor to experience the Doctor’s regeneration in the Cybermen storyline ‘The Tenth Planet’ first broadcast on 29th October 1966. At the time the show was shown in black and white and the color used on these figures are authenticated by the many existing ‘behind the scene’ shots. The Cyberman is the version which appears, discovered in the cyber-tombs of the planet Telos, in the episode ‘The Tomb of the Cybermen’ (Sept 1967).

First Doctor with Dalek Invasion Of Earth ‘Black’ Dalek 2 Pack (colour) - $40
This is the first appearance of the first Doctor, William Hartnell as part of Character Options classic figure series. It was Hartnell who brought the Doctor to our screens in that very first broadcast on 23rd November 1963. At the time the show was shown in black and white and the color used on these figures are authenticated by the many existing ‘behind the scene’ shots. The Dalek is from the ‘’Dalek Invasion of Earth’ (Dec 1964) storyline and varies most conspicuously from later versions by the double neck banding and the energy dish collecting aerial on the rear. The Black Dalek was designated by rank as the ‘Supreme Controller’.
