11th Doctor & Dalek Scientist Figure Set - San Diego Comic Con Exclusive (UPDATED)

Underground Toys have revealed a new Doctor Who figure set exclusive to San Diego Comic Con:

Eleventh Doctor in Shirt & Braces & Scientist Dalek
The Eleventh Doctor saw off not one but two alien threats almost as soon as he crashed to Earth. His new companion, Amy Pond, first met him when she was seven years old, and while he was clad in the raggedy remnants of the Tenth Doctor’s suit. Twelve years and four psychiatrists later, the girl who waited wanted answers! Realising he owed her that much, the Doctor, now clothed in a tweed jacket and a cool new bow tie, welcomed Amy into a brand new TARDIS, and took off on a series of thrilling adventures around the universe. However the two time travellers are being followed on their journey by a crack which appears wherever they go… and it looks a lot like the one on Amy’s bedroom wall…

Many years ago, the Daleks sent out thousands of egg-shaped Progenitors containing the genetic coding of the race, so that new Daleks could be created whenever necessary. One of these Progenitors was found in war-torn England during the Second World War and transported to a Dalek ship. However, because the Daleks that found it had been genetically modified by their creator Davros, using his own DNA, the Progenitor did not acknowledge them as pure Daleks, until the Doctor identified them as such and the Progenitor created a new race of powerful Daleks as a result. Amongst these Daleks were the Orange Scientists.

In this exclusive set from Underground Toys we present the Eleventh Doctor in burgundy shirt and braces, and an Orange Dalek Scientist, the Doctor comes with a Sonic Screwdriver accessory.

The set is to be released in the United States only at Underground Toys booth 3949 and BBC America booth 3629.

UPDATE: The figure set is now on sale in the UK at Forbidden Planet stores, but it's while stocks last, so be quick to purchase!

DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE EXPLODES IN ISSUE 423!
Prepare for THE BIG BANG on Saturday as DWM goes on set, braves the darkness of the Underhenge and talks to the people behind the astonishing finale of Doctor Who - including stars MATT SMITH and KAREN GILLAN, head writer STEVEN MOFFAT, director TOBY HAYNES and monster maker NEILL GORTON!

We ask Steven just what, after the jaw-dropping events of THE PANDORICA OPENS, could possibly happen next? “Amy’s dead at the hands of the man she loves,” he considers. “ The TARDIS is burning and River with it, and every star in the universe is exploding at every moment in history. Any other hero would be stumped. Fortunately, you are watching Doctor Who…”

Also in DWM 423…
