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

Underground have done some great plushies in the past so I would imagine the DW ones will be pretty cool

One day I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.

The first plushies make their appearance in August at Forbidden Planet - no Doctors as yet though. These ones make noises as well including 'Exterminate' & 'You are an enemy of the Daleks' (Daleks) & 'Vworp Vworp' (TARDIS). The light also works on the top of the TARDIS.

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. If you are interested, you can purchase them HEREI really hope they get a UK release at some point. I want a Cyberman. How cute is that!

What does it say? Is it just exterminate or are there a couple of phrases?

Yeah it says "Exterminate, exterminate" & also "You would make a good Dalek." Not a huge amount of variety but better than just one phrase

I'm tempted to get a TARDIS one. God knows what that would say though.

I'm guessing it makes the "Vworp vworp" noise, but I can't think what else it would do. Cloister bell maybe?!

Vworp vworp would have been my guess too.

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. Or blue. Or green or purple, which is unlikely.
