Please note this is only available at Toys r us stores or the Toys r us site. This set is very good for any whovian especially if you like Daleks. There will be 11 of these doctor and Dalek set's released, so far 2, 5,6,7,9,10th doctors have all been released with their appropriate Dalek. This set is unique because although the Imperial Dalek has been released before, this Dalek is in the new mould. The Dalek looks very good and detailed. They have been slightly careless in the fact that they have just covered the whole 'dome' black instead of writing the code below the eyestalk which isn't very detailed. All the joints work well and is very easy to move. I give this figure 4/5. With the ninth doctor I am slightly biased because I hate all 9th doctor figures as they look oddly proportioned and just odd really. And this figure is no exception. The jacket doesn't fit him and sticks out (but remember all 9th doctor figures are like this not just this one) the space between the neck and head is always so obvious! The colours used are good and detailed but overall there's not much you can say about it. I give this figure 2/5. Overall a great set and definitely worth picking up! Rating: 6/10

(As requested by Handbot10) This is a really super collection and definitely worth buying a pack. I wouldn't say it is good as other trading card collection like the 'doctor who monster invasion card set' which included more detail and variety. The set is split up into rainbow foil, mirror foil, aliens, humans, companions time lords and a few others. It is obviously a good idea to split them up in to category's so they are easier to understand. The cards are very good, some common ones are a bit rubbish and personally I think this is because they don't have a background. My favourites are the mirror foil, these are the second most important (rainbow foil most important) but I think they look loads more detailed, well made and are nice and shiny. But the rainbow foil cards are also good but they don't look as amazing, the rarest card (11th doctor) is a rainbow foil and doesn't look very good to say it is the rarest. The 'chase' cards are amazing, they are good because the company makes money and I always find it fun looking for them (luckily managed to get them all). The binder is very good, struggled a bit at first trying to get the cards in but it get's easy after a while. The tin is very good and detailed. You get 'chase' cards in the tin and binder. Overall this is a really great set, a few faults with the common cards but the rest are fine and I recommend this set. I am looking forward to the 50th anniversary set of these, you get costume cards and I am sure they will look brilliant. Rating: 7/10 I have been wanting these for AGES so I am very happy that I finally have them. Everything about them amazing. I will start with the criticisms first. The ninth and the third doctor's don't stand up very well which is always annoying but all you need is a bit of blu-tack to sort this out. I am a bit angry that he fifth doctor isn't wearing his hat which is as much a part of his costume as his celery. Lastly it would be good if the figures had more features like a removable hat for the fourth doctor or a removable trench coat for the tenth doctor. All these criticisms are very small things and don't really effect how amazing these are. Getting these out of the packaging took a while but that is to be expected because you get eleven figures (I had to have a rest at the seventh doctor) but otherwise they were quite easy to get out of the packaging there was just the wire kind of stuff around the figures which isn't too hard to get off. Overall getting them out of the packaging wasn't hard as some other merchandise I have (*cough* union jack dalek). Once out of the packaging these are really great figures and easy to play with. Some of the joints are a bit stiff but that's to be expected I guess. The detail is sublime and have been done with lot's of care. My least favourite figure is maybe the ninth doctor but I never like 9th doctor figures they always look badly proportioned and odd. My favourite figure is either the 1st doctor, 4th doctor, 6th doctor, 8th doctor and 10th doctor (really hard to choose). The price i think is quite fair, i got mine for £49.99 at forbidden planet which is good to say you get 11 figures. Overall a great set and I really recommend you buy this, it is perfect for any whovian. Rating: 9/10 |
