Cyber Controller Voice Changing Helmet With BRAINS - Cyberman

Product Information

The Cyber-race is a mongrel species. We have learnt in Doctor Who that they used spare parts to build replacement bodies, and that they often cannibalise whatever bits they can get their hands on to assemble new forces. It is fitting, therefore, that when there came a period in Doctor Who's history in which the Cybermen were banished from our screens, their fleeting appearances became peculiar and disorganised, as if they were clinging to survival and in disarray. Zogron was one of the first Cybernauts to leave Mondas. During his pioneering of the instellar Cyber-empire, Zogron became stranded on AS4. ( COMIC: Junk-Yard Demon) While one group of Cybermen stayed on Mondas, another group, the Faction, left Mondas and headed for Planet 14. These developed into groups without connection to one another. ( PROSE: Iceberg) While the Ninth Doctor doubted it, ( AUDIO: The Forth Generation) the Twelfth Doctor knew that the original people of Planet 14 had developed into Cybermen as well, another example of the Cybermen's parallel evolution. ( TV: The Doctor Falls) The Cyberships leftover from the invasion were examined and exploited by humans, allowing them to make advances in space travel, leading Sarah Jane Smith to describe the return of Mondas as "both the greatest disaster and most astonishing blessing ever to have happened to the human race."

When a small party of Cybermen came to Agora in 2191, they were destroyed by cybernetic warriors created by the Agorans using Cybertechnology. The main Cyber ship came to Agora to destroy the rebellion, but instead it was infiltrated by the Sixth Doctor and flooded with radiation which killed the Cybermen. By the end of the 22nd century, the Cybermen were believed to be extinct. In actuality, most of the Cybermen were hibernating on Telos. A few small, isolated groups still existed.

The photos on the day were taken by Allan Ballard, a notable photographer who would go on to have a high profile career in music and fashion. For the 1973 Anniversary his images provided added quality to the special publication. He photographed a number of companions in interesting locations with a variety of old monster costumes.

The Neomorph Cybermen and a group of mercenaries led by Karl made an alliance with the Daleks in a gambit to sabotage a peace conference on Earth in 1988 and have the planet destroyed. The Cybermen and the mercenaries had a much more active role than the Daleks, as they were tasked with kidnapping an American envoy on whom the success of the conference depended and in capturing the Doctor whom the Dalek Emperor declared a vital part of the plan. The Daleks took a more behind-the-scenes approach as they planned to use the mercenaries and Cybermen as nothing more than scapegoats who could be blamed for the destruction of Earth by the Galactic Council while the Dalek involvement remained a secret. When the Sixth Doctor revealed this information to the Cybermen and the mercenaries, they immediately turned on the Daleks. ( AUDIO: The Ultimate Adventure)

In the Bernice Summerfield audio adventure The Crystal of Cantus, a Cyberman reveals that the organs of children who are too small to be fully cyber-converted are used in the creation of cybermats.In " The Power of the Doctor" (2022), Tegan Jovanka and Ace fire gold bullets at a group of Cybermen only to be told that they have evolved beyond weakness to gold. After the The Invasion finished its run in December 1968, the Cybermen would not be seen again properly for over six years. Jon Pertwee had no battles with them at all. But in this period of near-extinction, there were still sightings of these metallic monsters. Tantalising reminders that they might still be out there in space - perhaps in unseen adventures. For such occasions, there were never any new costumes created and so the components became ever more mixed and increasingly damaged. When they were absent from the TV series, they were more like real Cybermen than ever - with cannibalised components and patched up with repairs. On the 14th Feb 1974 there was a photocall in advance of contracts being signed that would confirm new Doctor. Tom Baker was wearing a curiously festive jumper but that's nothing compared to the eye-opening nature of the Cyberman assembled for the occasion. The use of the Controller body also explains why in the Mystery photo the chest unit is wrapped round the body with an elastic band - the Cyber Controller never had a chest unit, so there would have been no attachment points on the fabric. This makes the unit hang lower and adds to the unusual appearance as it becomes more like a "belly unit".

When they re-emerged after the Cyber-Wars, the Cybermen appeared to be truly emotionless, although the Cyber-Planner " Mr Clever" showed personality. ( TV: Nightmare in Silver) The Cybermen that evolved on a Mondasian colony ship were also emotionless, although Bill Potts showed anger and sadness in her cyber-converted form. ( TV: The Doctor Falls) Raston Warrior Robots counted Cybermen among the many beings they could kill. Although equipped only with javelins and blades, the technology of the robots allowed them to easily destroy several Cybermen. ( TV: The Five Doctors) The Cybermen started as the patients, who escorted humans from the city to the hospital for conversion, ( TV: World Enough and Time) and also travelled to the higher floors and captured any other humans on the colony ship for cyber-conversion, including the remaining Mondasian crew members on Floor 0000. ( TV: World Enough and Time, PROSE: Jorj) During their development, the Master incorporated a number of functions into the patients that would allow him to control the patients upon their evolution into full Cybermen, ( PROSE: Alit in Underland) in a bid to use the Cybermen that would arise on Floor 1056 as his personal army ( TV: The Doctor Falls) to conquer the galaxy. ( PROSE: Alit in Underland) The Time of the Doctor" introduced a unique prototype Cyberman that was made of wood to avoid detection by the Church of the Papal Mainframe and equipped with blowtorches. A Neomorph Cyberman was one of a group of aliens present at a Treen colony in 1991. They initially refused Dan Dare and Digby's appeal to donate money to charity, but were convinced with the assistance of the first seven incarnations of the Doctor. ( COMIC: Comic Relief Comic)

One of our fun branches of investigation during our Dalek props research was explaining how the Denys Fisher "Red Top" Dalek toy came to be made (on the right). The name "Cyberman" comes from cybernetics, a term used in Norbert Wiener's book Cybernetics or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine (MIT Press, 1948). Wiener used the term in reference to the control of complex systems, particularly self-regulating control systems, in the animal world and in mechanical networks. By 1960, doctors were researching surgical or mechanical augmentation of humans and animals to operate machinery in space, leading to the portmanteau "cyborg", for "cybernetic organism".

Revenge of the Cybermen was in production in the autumn of 1974 - only a year after the Radio Times issue had come out. This recent reference material seems to have strongly influenced what costume designer Prue Handley thought the Cybermen should look like.
