I'm just glad everyone's acknowledging the Throughton Tardis has a flipped sign door I pointed this out to a friend when watching Enemy of the World and she just insisted the picture was reversed because of "restoration"
I'm so happy with this release, not just because the fur coat troughton is such a delight, but the wrong-door signed tardis is something I've wanted since forever, if I think of the most iconic tardis for every doctor, this is the one I think of for 2, it's so unique, it's there throughout his best run of stories, and because of the new tooling that would be needed for the doors I thought we'd never get it, and now we do. Can't wait to get mine
Great review! Definitely cannot wait for mine to arrive over the next few weeks! Hopefully we do get our long overdue Jamie & Victoria with that beautiful Yeti prototype 👌🏼
the light problem comes from the fact you're camera shuter speed dont match with the led's. kinda the contrary to those videos of choppers with static rotors
All though the doors are on the wrong side. This tardis can be used Fo A lot Of Things Recreating the Tardis landing from Enemy Of The World. (If someone is insane and crazy to do that.) Used For Projects (Like Fixing the doors or making it look like the 3rd Doctor era tardis) And. Trying to Correct the doors! (To make it look like The Tardis He Used After Evil Of The Daleks And Season 5 In General)
You took the words out of my mouth really, I would also like to have seen far dirtier windows. But I love it and ordered this morning. A yeti or two would be great too!
This set looks incredible. Glad I got my order in when I did, and great review as always! The price doesn't really phase me since, adjusted for inflation, it's basically the same value as the Forbidden Planet TARDIS sets from a decade ago. Plus the amount of fresh tooling on both the box and figure really give it some value!
11 years now. Never got em as was 10 or so but now im getting the bits i want. I just want a fleet of imperial daleks tbh. Rememberance was my favourite story growing up
It says a lot for the state of the new series when companies invest this much love and attention on Classic series characters. There’s nothing from the current series that comes close to matching it.
Actually I think is a good thing, I was getting tired of just getting Tennant, Smith, Capaldi, stuff. Jodie era brought lots of classic releases un DVD and toys than ever before
I hope they bring back the cards they have inside the police box eventually :( Even like just black (like in the classic series) would be a nice detail!
It’s absolutely unnecessary the classic series never had interior cards for the Tardis so it wouldn’t be accurate plus the new series Tardis’ that character released had a plastic backing which allowed them to have an interior card
This is a fantastic set, who'd of thought we'd finally see the 2nd Doctor in fur coat released plus a new Tardis. Was the lamp yellow on that particular Tardis?
@@chocofrolik834 knowing Al Dewars past of telling us we’re not getting certain figures in the b&m range and then we receive them I have hope that we’ll se a 5 Doctors variant weather it’s this year or next year who knows eh who knows
It's a good set, a variant of the 2nd Doctor we didn't have until now, and really good of CO to bring back electronic TARDISES on the market. But for £40? Yeah, I'll have to pass, unfortunately.
Yesss I’m definitely going to get this The warrior robot could be a reference to the fact that al dewar confirmed that we are getting a figure of it this year along with a voord
I'm so pleased about this release. The Abominable Snowmen is a favourite of mine, and it's wonderful that it's an SFX Tardis too. Ordered mine straight away, and what a pleasure it is to buy it online on Character's website, one in the eye for the online bully that runs the Dr Who Merchandise Guide, always championing B&M. Online is the way to go, whether exclusive or not, especially in these dark times. My opinion that's all. A big thank you for your review :-)
its not super accurate but its weird because I know how difficult it is for them to make a new box and all that, So I'm very impressed its not 100% accurate but its a big step up and I think its the switched doors which does it for me however one small complaint if they can add better quality sound files why not add the accurate sounds from the show because I'm 99% sure at the time they reversed the sound so why not here?
As nice of a set that it seems to be, there is one thing that you haven't mentioned which is the price. It's £40! Like as good as it is I still think that £40 is a bit steep. Maybe £30 at most considering the new lights and sounds but it is literally double the price of other Doctor and Tardis sets. Now, I'm not sure if Character may have given you a free sample as you have it early and are reviewing it. So I could understand that you may have not known what the price was when filming or it may have just not affected you if it was a freebie. But in my and many others opinions I've heard, this if an expensive set for what you get. Luckily I'm saving money at the moment for a couple more visits to Time Fracture so I've vowed not to spend my money on anything else at the moment. So I guess if I ever want this set I'll have to check eBay in a couple of years.
It’s even worse if you’re in the states because the shipping is steep. I think I’ll stick to the war games one I got off amazon for only 25 dollars and a discount on top of it.
@@flyhyland I know but I am not going to spend 60 pounds to get it over to the states. I'd rather spend close to 20 pounds for the War Games tardis on amazon.
@@flyhyland Considering that they have made electronic Doctors and Tardis' in the past that would have been completely made from scratch and definitely weren't sold for £40, I don't see how this one should cost that much. I mean, the only retooling they have actually done is flipping the doors over. That's it. The rest of the box is the same and they already had the prototype for the second Doctor in his woolly coat. And in regards to it being limited edition, I believe the last online exclusive was only £5 more. So if you maybe add another £10 for the electronics, that would still only go up to £35. And there have been plenty of other sets that have done far more retooling but have still remained at the cheaper price of £20. Even the War Games TARDIS with the retooled roof was still £20. So I don't get how this is double the price. But if you're willing to buy it then go for it. I'd rather wait till I have more money and maybe get it on eBay for a slightly higher price if I feel I want to.
@@JamesWilliamColeman Only 4000 of these made and already sold out on the CO website. It's going to be like the Androzani tardis...hard to find and super expensive. Sucks!
I made a couple of custom of this Tardis a few years ago. instagram.com/p/BvT581PjHH3/? It’s a shame they did the door sign but left the lock on there which it wasn’t on the prop. Here’s hoping for a Monster set with a Yeti, Jamie and Victoria.
Not gonna lie, I'm personally a bit bummed by this announcement. I do love the 2nd Doctor but I personally find this furr coat hideous af 😅 Not only that, but it's not really "new" as it's based on an existing action figure, which is... I dunno, just disappointing. Was hoping for some S12 Master and/or Fugitive Doctor, or something not based on any existing sculpt. Eh, I guess this means we'll have to customize our action figure ourselves some more. Glad some people are excited about this set tho! ♥️
I don't see were they think it's ok to double the price because the tardis is a reused body and electronics are reused, second doctor is reused just a new coat
I'm just glad everyone's acknowledging the Throughton Tardis has a flipped sign door I pointed this out to a friend when watching Enemy of the World and she just insisted the picture was reversed because of "restoration"
That’s just mental, what? Why not tell her to explain that if restored, why is the text not reversed 😂
It's nice that we are getting more figures with newly released sculps. Definitely getting this set.

Can't wait to get mine
Great review! Definitely cannot wait for mine to arrive over the next few weeks! Hopefully we do get our long overdue Jamie & Victoria with that beautiful Yeti prototype 👌🏼
If we can get both the Abominable Snowman and the Web of Fear versions of the Yeti along with the Great Intelligence, that’ll be great.
Looks incredible… you’re not buying a new iphone, you’re supporting a line of figures that relies solely on the support of people. We’re very lucky
the light problem comes from the fact you're camera shuter speed dont match with the led's. kinda the contrary to those videos of choppers with static rotors
Good shout
I'd kill to spitball toy ideas with Al Dewar.
Imagine getting A TT CAPSULE TARDIS Set featuring the 1st Doctor & susan
Its been so long welcome back Batmanmarch
Thank you! More content on the way, it's been a busy couple of months with real life crap! :P
All though the doors are on the wrong side. This tardis can be used Fo A lot Of Things
Recreating the Tardis landing from Enemy Of The World.

Used For Projects (Like Fixing the doors or making it look like the 3rd Doctor era tardis)
And. Trying to Correct the doors! (To make it look like The Tardis He Used After Evil Of The Daleks And Season 5 In General)
Now I really hope we get a electronic 8th doctor tardis either from the TV Movie or Night Of The Doctor
That would look gorgeous
@Charles Edwards also a lot of retooling would be needed.
@Charles Edwards you never know perhaps there planning it? Maybe their making a Monk or rani tardis you never know
@Charles Edwards also They need to make another chase set again
It's about time we finally got this 2nd Doctor variant! Hopefully this means we'll someday get to see other unmade prototypes released
You took the words out of my mouth really, I would also like to have seen far dirtier windows. But I love it and ordered this morning. A yeti or two would be great too!

Yes agreed
Actually I think is a good thing, I was getting tired of just getting Tennant, Smith, Capaldi, stuff. Jodie era brought lots of classic releases un DVD and toys than ever before
Improved face sculpt.
Shaggy fur coat.
Uniquely battered electronic Tardis.
I’m pleased to own it still boxed 👍🏻
I cannot wait to get this set! Next year’s online exclusive could be the Yeti. Fingers crossed!
If it were id buy 10
@Count Jakeula I heard ages ago that a Jamie was made but this could be nonsense.
Holy ccow, a Doctor Who figure set that isn't a B&M exclusive? You're spoiling us Character Options.
Great review. Amazing details even down to the asbestos texture of the real prop!
I thought this video might not be too far off. Finally some new figures!
Where did you get that TARDIS roundel wall backdrop from?
I hope they bring back the cards they have inside the police box eventually :(
Even like just black (like in the classic series) would be a nice detail!
We never see the interior from the outside in the classic series.
@@markbelsom3174 Yeah, interior cards in classic models would look really odd
It’s absolutely unnecessary the classic series never had interior cards for the Tardis so it wouldn’t be accurate plus the new series Tardis’ that character released had a plastic backing which allowed them to have an interior card
Yeahbut the 13th doctors tardis was a letdown. It still looks astounding on the outside though!
With the switch to LED, that means they should last even longer before needing a new battery.
I reckon the sales have been incredibly well for Character recently, hence why they can afford to do this.
Probably because they’ve started doing new characters for the range like Ian and Sarah in the B&M sets.
How did you get this it's just been releases
I want a classic doctor who tardis interior set
the random Raston Warrior Robot on the box made my day and I don't even know why
these new figures are amazing
Now all we need is a sixth doctor tardis.
This is a fantastic set, who'd of thought we'd finally see the 2nd Doctor in fur coat released plus a new Tardis. Was the lamp yellow on that particular Tardis?
Yes. It was orange. The prop for some reason was fitted with an orange lamp
Cannot wait for this. I just love this Tardis design with the pull to open sign on the right.
I also wouldn't say no to a Five Doctors repaint of him
Al Dewar confirmed theres going to be no Five Docs variant of him. Shame. I guess it does keep it exclusive, though
@@chocofrolik834 knowing Al Dewars past of telling us we’re not getting certain figures in the b&m range and then we receive them I have hope that we’ll se a 5 Doctors variant weather it’s this year or next year who knows eh who knows
@@jcrossan1351 I mean Al is the one who leaked this set in the first place so I would assume he probably knows the most about it
It's a good set, a variant of the 2nd Doctor we didn't have until now, and really good of CO to bring back electronic TARDISES on the market. But for £40? Yeah, I'll have to pass, unfortunately.
@@flyhyland You do you! =)
Indeed...sfx tardises generally go for £25+ and carded figures at £13 so that with free postage...its not that bad.
Preordered mine 😍
The 11 Doctors set was £50 on release
Thank god I got this when it was released cause the prices of this on eBay and such are ludicrous!
Great review Matt, I do hope we get a Cybershade figure that's what I want most of all.
Holy crap, I need this!!! 😍😍😍😍
Cannot wait to get hold of this!
Yesss
I’m definitely going to get this
The warrior robot could be a reference to the fact that al dewar confirmed that we are getting a figure of it this year along with a voord
I knew about the voord but not the Warrior Robot where did he say this??
How much do they cost

this set is fantastic
How did you get it so early?!
Where's the Doctor Who theme from? I feel it's familiar but I've forgotten where
It's from "The ___ Years" VHS tapes
Wonder if we’ll ever get a five doctors set now with the hurndall prototype and a new tooling for the third doctors shirt
You know we are
Nice review! Cheers
So whens the Review of Death coming back?

Could you imagine they do the Richard Hurndall figure after this?
We're getting a B&M Five Doctors set, and we know they have a Hurndall sculpt from the prototype image, so hopefully we do
That was fast 😂
I hope they do an 8th Doctor TARDIS set in the future.
Al dewar said thats probably not going to happen due to tooling costs to make the toy/current base mould screen accurate.
Possible yeti?!
Awesome 🤩
Classic doctor who video. Okay
great review as ajways
👍👍
James 😁
No Holy Ghanta, Batman?
I made a couple of custom of this Tardis a few years ago. instagram.com/p/BvT581PjHH3/?

The coat looks less detailed
Dang, I can’t buy it anymore

Glad some people are excited about this set tho! ♥️
Ashame I'm not getting this way to much money, not made of money
I usually don't spend £40 on one set, but I did this time because the set from last year goes for stupid prices on ebay
I don't see were they think it's ok to double the price because the tardis is a reused body and electronics are reused, second doctor is reused just a new coat
Did you actually watch the entire video? The TARDIS has been retooled
