Just recently announced for exclusive release at Forbidden Planet is the Enemies of the Third Doctor set, collecting three of the dashing Doctor Who's deadliest foes.
The evil plastic-work mannequin Autons, servants of the dreaded Nestene Consciousness. Armed with built-in blaster weaponry, their mission is to clear the way for their masters. Appearing in two classic adventures (we missed out on an appearance in The Five Doctors and a reunion with the Sixth Doctor in 1986) and in the new BBC Wales series, the Autons are among the most iconic of Doctor Who monsters. When they first appeared in The Spearhead From Space, they ushered in a new era of the program and history repeated itself in 2005 when they faced the Ninth incarnation of the Doctor.
One of the architects if Timelord society, Omega was once a brilliant and gifted scientist capable of engineering stars themselves. When he transformed a star into a source of limitless power for Gallifrey, he was drawn into the ensuing black hole, forever trapped in that unknown realm. Exiled in a world ruled by his will alone, Omega plotted his revenge against his people, causing the High Council of Timelords to allow the impossible and converge three versions of the Doctor to handle the situation.
Bestial creatures from a far off planet, the Drashigs were merely one of several alien intelligences collected in a device designed to entertain in The Carnival of Monsters. Able to rip through solid steel with their bare teeth, the Drashigs proved uncontrollable and wrecked havoc inside and out of their prison.
