LEGO Ideas #012 Doctor Who and Companions
YES! The LEGO Group will produce a “Doctor Who”-themed project and the LEGO Review Board has chosen the “Doctor Who and Companions” project by LEGO Ideas member AndrewClark2. Andy Clark is an artist at a gaming company by day, and a LEGO builder and pretend run-away Time Lord by night.
When will it be released?
For those following closely, the Doctor Who and Companions is the third project from the First 2014 LEGO Review period to become an official LEGO set! We are absolutely thrilled to share this news with you, and we only wish there were a real TARDIS so we could transport you straight to the set’s release date.
Design, Pricing, and Availability for Both Sets
There still working out the final product design, pricing and availably for the Dr. Who and Companions LEGO set, so check out LEGO Ideas later this year for details.
Details:
-
Lego signs multi-million pound deal with BBC for Dr Who themed sets
-
Toys will include characters such as the Doctor, the Daleks and the Tardis
-
Deal set to be the biggest commercial success for BBC since Teletubbies
-
Concept for Dr Who Lego came from an ideas section on official website
-
Dr Who superfan Andrew Clark suggested the idea with mock-up designs
-
Themed sets now in development and will hit shops in time for Christmas
The set includes:
-
Tardis, exterior / interior walls.
-
Interior console ( LEGO can choose if they want the full, console and tilt damage )
-
street/Interior base.
-
K9
-
1 Dalek, red or gray
-
-
Minifigs (most have dual printed face, happy and shocked )
-
1 and possibly 2 Doctors. An older and more recent Doctor, so older and younger fans have a Doctor.
-
For the more recent Doctor, I propose Tennant, or maybe Capaldi, who is the latest incarnation. For the other I propose the 4th Doctor Tom Baker, and possibly Sara Jane as his companion. I am open for LEGO to choose the Doctor/s
-
-
2 Companions (Rose Tyler if Tennant is chosen, or Clara Oswald if Capaldi is chosen.
-
-
(Possiblility of 1) Weeping Angel (Face printed on both sides)
-
(Possiblility of 1) Cyberman
-
If LEGO likes the idea, a sound brick for the iconic Tardis sound.
additional information:
Due to the nature of the set fans may buy 2 sets. One to have the Tardis on the street scene, and another to have the Tardis unfolded to become the inner walls placed next to console.
Total part count including Minifigs around 530 (less if just the top of the console is chosen)
Fans may geek out if the Box was a front view photo, or render of the Iconic LEGO Tardis. The top left window could be the LEGO logo, and below that the white rectangle could have text saying the set number, part count etc. The box doors could open showing photos of the set. I think this would appeal more to Who fans, stand out on store shelves, and make the set more unique and collectible. LEGO did a similar thing with the 4x4 Crawler Exclusive Edition. The set could have a small pamphlet with details on Doctor Who and it's history.
Lego signed a multi-million-pound deal with BBC to create Dr Who set complete with Tardis, Daleks and Cybermen and it is due to hit shelves in time for Christmas. READ MORE>
