Title: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: Peri-Peri on January 21, 2011, 06:41:20 pm (http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs50/f/2009/300/c/c/Tenth_Doctor___DW____Plushie_2_by_Serenity_Sama.jpg) Underground Toys and BBC Worldwide today announced a worldwide licensing deal for the manufacture of Doctor Who plush toys in all territories. The range will incorporate characters from the current Doctor Who series and also a separate program featuring characters from the Classic series’ of Doctor Who, which are sure to appeal to collectors and fans of these series’. The characters produce unique noises tailored to each model, and will be released in several sizes. Commenting on the new deal Robyn Morgan, Licensing Director at Underground Toys said “We have had great success in bringing to life popular television characters as plush toys. The experience we have accumulated on both character detail and the importance of sound quality will mean we can finally do the Doctor Who brand justice as a plush concept.” Richard Hollis, Head of UK Licensing at BBC Worldwide added “We are delighted to build on our existing relationship with Underground Toys. This new category for Doctor Who will appeal to a wide range of fans and collector alike, and Underground are the perfect partner given their experience in this area.” Underground Toys will begin shipping the toy line worldwide from June 2011 and the items will be previewed at London Toy Fair via their UK Distributor Gear 4 Games on booth E160. They will also be shown at New York Toy Fair on Underground Toys on booth 4933. Obviously there are no announcements about prices yet but I will update when there is. The above picture is just an example of a good plushie too, not one from the range. I just found it on Google :) Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: poprockgeek on January 21, 2011, 07:44:46 pm Depending on what they look like I can see me getting a plushie Doctor :)

Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: Oh-Wise-One on January 21, 2011, 09:07:12 pm Underground have done some great plushies in the past so I would imagine the DW ones will be pretty cool
Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: Sandiwich11 on January 22, 2011, 02:13:04 am Yes!! Wicked news, can't wait for some proper pics to come out.
Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: poprockgeek on July 01, 2011, 06:39:46 pm The first plushies make their appearance in August at Forbidden Planet (http://forbiddenplanet.com/76063-doctor-who-talking-plush-dalek-red/) - no Doctors as yet though.

The light also works on the top of the TARDIS. Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: 2cajuman2 on July 01, 2011, 11:38:39 pm OMG How did I miss this thread? That Jan post is adorable!!!
I'm gonna get a TARDIS one for my Sis's 2nd birthday :D It has been decided :D I'd get her a Dalek, but I think it might scare her at 2.... Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: RedHairedGrrlGeek on July 02, 2011, 08:16:36 am OK, bags me a Raggedy Doctor plushie. He can sit on the printer alongside my Chthulhu plushie :D.
Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: chrissymarieb on July 02, 2011, 08:45:13 pm I need that TARDIS plushie. Can't wait to see the Doctors!
Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: Peri-Peri on August 26, 2011, 01:57:58 pm A set of mini plushies are on the way, some of them with voice abilities, but at the moment it seems like they may only be in the US. They can even be attatched to your keyrings.
(http://merchandise.thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/miniplush1.jpg) (http://merchandise.thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/miniplush2.jpg) If you are interested, you can purchase them HERE (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=UND10456&mode=retail) I really hope they get a UK release at some point. I want a Cyberman. How cute is that! Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: poprockgeek on August 26, 2011, 02:18:05 pm I'm not generally a gusher, but OMG how cute are they? I want them all!!! Please give us a UK release :D

And they are available in the UK - I was bought a red Dalek from Tesco this morning :) Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: Saber on October 11, 2011, 01:01:14 pm What does it say? Is it just exterminate or are there a couple of phrases?
Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: poprockgeek on October 11, 2011, 02:07:52 pm Yeah it says "Exterminate, exterminate" & also "You would make a good Dalek."
Not a huge amount of variety but better than just one phrase :) Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: Saber on October 11, 2011, 02:24:16 pm I'm tempted to get a TARDIS one. God knows what that would say though.
Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: poprockgeek on October 11, 2011, 02:25:35 pm I'm guessing it makes the "Vworp vworp" noise, but I can't think what else it would do. Cloister bell maybe?! :-\
Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: The Doc on October 11, 2011, 02:43:32 pm Vworp vworp would have been my guess too.
Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: Saber on October 11, 2011, 03:12:03 pm Yea that's probably what it is. That will do for me though :P
Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: Peri-Peri on December 05, 2011, 11:39:57 am Yellow Dalek Plushie will be available from April 3rd priced at £14.99 PO/£16.99 RRP.

All the Dalek stuff seems to focus on the red one. I want a yellow Dalek plushie. Or blue. Or green or purple, which is unlikely.
Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: poprockgeek on December 07, 2011, 01:32:39 pm It's nice to see a different colour. All the Dalek stuff seems to focus on the red one. I want a yellow Dalek plushie. Got to say I agree with this - red is my favourite colour but it's nice to have some variety. Now if we could just have some other things made plushie ... a Doctor maybe.

Now if we could just have some other things made plushie ... a Doctor maybe. YES! Totally need a plush Doctor! Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: Aneurin on December 14, 2011, 04:01:25 am I need that TARDIS plushie. Can't wait to see the Doctors! I don't think they will do Doctor plushies because of how costly it can be. It may work differently in different circumstances but I remember a big thing about Giselle from Enchanted not being added to the Disney Princess line because they would have to pay Amy Adams royalties for life for using her likeness which would cost a lot of money. I would assume, though I might be wrong, that it would be similar for the use of the likeness of Tennant or Smith etc. Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: Peri-Peri on January 04, 2012, 06:25:44 pm A white one has now been announced for February 29th

Wonder if they will release an orange one. That's the most underrepresented of the lot.
Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: Roranicus on January 07, 2012, 01:02:08 am The white one is definately best. Too many red Daleks on everything.
Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: Peri-Peri on June 02, 2012, 12:14:19 pm An orange Dalek plush will be joining the red, white, blue and yellow ones from July

Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: Tardis-Console on June 03, 2012, 01:50:41 pm I really need one of these!
Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: poprockgeek on August 06, 2013, 05:44:52 pm Two new plushies on the way. A slightly disturbing Weeping Angel:
(http://dyn3.media.forbiddenplanet.com/products/104056.jpg.size-600_maxheight-600_square-true.jpg) And ... answering my wishes ... The Eleventh Doctor!!! (http://dyn3.media.forbiddenplanet.com/products/2821832.jpg.size-600_maxheight-600_square-true.jpg) They are due out at the end of August apparently (although this is already a revised date as they were originally slated for July). Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: The Doc on August 06, 2013, 06:08:20 pm That Angel is weird. I don't want to look, but can't look away
Title: Re: Doctor Who Plushies On The Way Post by: poprockgeek on August 06, 2013, 06:22:59 pm It creeps me out. I should add that it talks - which is odd for them. I'm guessing Angel Bob ??? |
