7th Doctor & Imperial Dalek Figure Set - FB Exclusive

Character Options have revealed details of new classic Doctor Who figure set -  exclusive to Forbidden Planet. Read on for further details:

THE SEVENTH DOCTOR - with Umbrella 
Mercurial and highly moral, this Doctor would often despair at the cruelty and wastefulness he encountered across the galaxies. On a trip to America in 1999, he was accidentally gunned down by a street gang and taken to hospital, where the procedures taken to try and save him did the reverse and he seemingly died, only to regenerate within the hospital’s morgue… 

IMPERIAL DALEK - from Remembrance of the Daleks
The Tardis arrives in London in November 1963, where the Doctor and Ace discover that two rival factions of Daleks - one loyal to the Dalek Emperor and one to the Dalek Supreme - are seeking the Hand of Omega, a powerful Time Lord device that the first Doctor hid there during an earlier sojourn on Earth.

The Daleks are focusing their search around Coal Hill School - the school that the Doctor's grand-daughter Susan attended - while a human military unit led by Group Captain Gilmore is attempting to resist their incursions. The Imperial Daleks eventually capture the device. The Dalek Emperor is revealed to be Davros, now with only the last vestiges of his humanoid form remaining. The Doctor begs him not to use the Hand but is ignored. However, this is just the final ruse in a complex trap laid by the Doctor. The Hand of Omega utterly destroys the Dalek home planet, Skaro, and then returns to destroy their forces orbiting Earth.
 
The set is on sale from 16th March exclusively at Forbidden Planet stores priced £24.99 per purchase.

COMIC STRIP - FATED TO PRETEND BY BRIAN MINCHIN

A prison van drives at breakneck speed along an isolated road - as if pursued by the devil itself. The doors break open and prisoners spill out onto the road - but something yanks them back inside. By the time Torchwood arrive, the prisoners and warders are dead. But worse than that. They’ve been eaten…

Torchwood follow the Prison van back to Mynydd Coch, an aging prison built high above Cardiff in the Black Mountains. The Gaol has been locked shut. The transporter was the first vehicle to leave the building for months. There have been strange stories from within of horror and brutality, of Zombie warders, and prisoners eaten alive. Jack has another theory… But what will happen when he, Ianto and Gwen get inside…?
