 | The Master and TARDIS action figure set |
The Doctor Who Classic line of action figures from Character Options is a delight. Magnificent detail work and a devotion to creating toys based on the popular characters and monster from the 26 year-run of the program have made it a hallmark of every Whovian's collection.

It has been rather full of Daleks lately. Just this month the final Davros set from Destiny of the Daleks has arrived. I have been very happy with this toy line, but am hoping that there will be some variety in the near future. In particular, a departure from repaints is desperately needed. The recent poll on the Daily P.O.P. indicated that an action figure based on the Brigadier and Emperor Dalek are wanted by fans and I add my voice to that demand, but I would prefer some new monsters such as the Silurians, Sea Devils and Yeti to name just a few.

While a rumored Time Warrior set is likely to see a formal announcement shortly, a new set is on its way next month.
A Sontaran and the Third Doctor from the Time Warrior
Just announced is a new action figure set based on the Jon Pertwee adventure, the Time Warrior. The set will include a re-release of the first Master as played by Roger Delgado and his TARDIS (disguised as a large computer bank). Additionally, the crystal of Kronos the Time Monster and the Doctor's tracking device will be included. If you are missing this iconic villain in your collection, this is a great opportunity to snatch one up and a TARDIS to boot!
The Master (Roger Delgado) and TARDIS from The Time Monster
The Master, back on Earth has constructed a device to gain control over Kronos, a creature from outside of the time vortex. He uses the device but it proves dangerously unstable. The Third Doctor arrives and shuts down experiment but the Master reactivates it, using it to ensnare a High Priest of the lost city of Atlantis, and then to attack UNIT forces.
The Master takes travels back to Atlantis in his TARDIS, now in the guise of an advanced computer bank, to steal the sacred Crystal of Kronos with which he hopes to dominate Kronos. The Doctor follows in his TARDIS with Jo Grant but can't prevent his enemy destroying Atlantis.
Escaping in their TARDIS's the Doctor and the Master confront each other within the time vortex where the Doctor threatens to 'time ram' the Master's TARDIS, a huge explosion caused by two or more TARDISes trying to materialise in the same place in Space and Time. The Doctor cannot bring himself do it, but Jo operates the controls and the two TARDIS's collide.
Instead of the expected explosion both TARDISes reappear in a strange void. The 'time ram' energy has released Kronos, who agrees to return the Doctor and Jo to Earth but, plans to destroy the Master. The Doctor intervenes and pleads for mercy on the Master's behalf ensuring he too goes free.
