In fact, there has been a long and very tumultuous history behind this aspect ofDoctor Whocollectibles.
Lets hop aboard our TARDIS and head through a short, fragmented yet fascinating history ofDoctor WhoAction Figures.
OtherDoctor Whoaction figures in this range included aCyberman, aDalek, and aTARDIS.
The TARDIS was a particularly interesting piece of Denys Fisher/Mego-releasedDoctor Whomerchandise.
Alongside the Denys Fisher/Mego line, it is worth noting that aTalking K-9was released by Polity in 1975.
The TARDIS was easily damaged, and that Talking K9 might not work with a good jolt.
As a result, these items ofDoctor Whomerchandise can be quite rare, increasing their collectible status.
One of these errors was a five-sided TARDIS console, which was fixed in later reissues.
Dapol released asecond waveofDoctor Whoaction figures in 1989, on the cusp of the series cancellation.
However, the 1998 wave focused on characters from early 1970s-eraDoctor Who.
(Although calling them action figures might be a bit misleading).
The company also released several 2.5 inchRoll-A-Matic Daleks, and large, remote-controlled versions ofDaleksandDavros.
