Doctor Who Action Figure - Cyberman

Product Information

The Tescos 3 figure set was amazingly sold off in some stores for just a few pounds and is now quite sort after.

Scificollector produced a superb 5″ figure with stand which is shown below (centre) along with the Cards Inc bust, Corgi, Micro universe, Time squad, keyring and Money box versions.The Cybermen are one of the Doctor’s most fearsome, persistent, and iconic enemies. Debuting 55 years ago, the emotionless metallic monstrosities have repeatedly clashed with the Doctor. Their appearance has changed over the years, as have their tactics, and even their weaknesses - but every time they appeared, they’ve had the same goal: the total conversion of all organic life into Cybermen!

After being warned about the Lone Cyberman, the Doctor and her friends came face-to-face with it at the Villa Diodati. The pure nightmare fuel that is the Lone Cyberman - real name Ashad - had only been partly converted, with his human face still partially exposed. Despite being part human, Ashad hated all organic life and wanted to restore the Cybermen to their former glory. All he needed to make that happen? For the Doctor to surrender the Cyberium, an AI that contained every scrap of data about the Cybermen!

When the Doctor next encountered the Cybermen, they’d opted for a more covert form of invasion. Targeting the weather control station on the Moon, they infected the station’s crew with a virus, softening up the base to make it easier to conquer. Their target was the Gravitron, the device that controlled the Earth’s weather. With it, they intended to destroy the surface of the Earth – and everyone on it. Unfortunately for the Cybermen, the Doctor was on hand to put a stop to their scheme. Travelling to the aftermath of the Cyber Wars, Ashad engaged his plan to restore the full might of the Cybermen. As Team TARDIS set out to stop him, little did Ashad know that there was another force at work. The Master had returned, and he had his own ideas about the future of the Cyber race. He offered them the chance to convert the Time Lords – and acquire their ability to regenerate. The CyberMasters were born! When the Cybermen next reared their handle barred heads, they weren’t working alone – in fact, they formed part of an alliance. The plan was to trap the Doctor in the Pandorica, the perfect prison, so that he wouldn’t destroy the universe when his TARDIS exploded. A single Cyberman was left to guard the Pandorica but was destroyed by a resurrected Rory. The alliance succeeded and the Doctor was indeed imprisoned. But their victory proved to be short-lived… because that was when things started to go really, really wrong! After an on-screen absence of 18 years, barring the occasional charity special, the Cybermen would make their long-awaited return in the 2006 story Rise of the Cybermen, and all that was on fans’ minds was what their latest upgrade would look like! How could you make the Cybermen both frightening and imposing for the 21st century? The answer was to cover them head to toe in body armour, to feature them en masse as relentless, marching, unstoppable killers.

Despite being their first appearance, The Tenth Planet doesn’t show the origins of the Cybermen. That comes much later (sort of), but also - obviously - before. The joys of a show about time travel! In their debut, the Cybermen’s home-world of Mondas – Earth’s twin – had returned to our solar system, after aeons spent drifting in space. During their time away, Mondasian lifespans had grown shorter, so they devised spare parts for their bodies, until they could be almost completely replaced – and so the Cybermen were born. This wasn’t the Cybermen’s finest hour, but in their defence, they were all that stood between the Doctor and Rory, and finding out where a kidnapped Amy was being held. Rory had a message from the Doctor and a question from himself. He asked where Amy was, and the Doctor’s message came in the form of the entire Twelfth Cyber Legion being blown up. Rory didn’t need to ask twice.Accompanied by a detailed magazine that details the appearances and impact of the Mondasian Cybermen. Product Enterprise produced various talking Cybermen including an all over matt silver finish, a Chrome effect Cyberman and Cyberleader and a Stealth Cyberman. This epic story is also the first time that UNIT appeared, and Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart became the Brigadier! Unlike the subtle changes to the Daleks over the history of the programme, the Cybermen have undergone several major re-designs over the years, but the retention of the silver colour scheme, round eyeholes and the iconic handlebars on the helmet is present on every design. The Figures The final story of Doctor Who's tenth season returned a classic design to the screen – the Mondasian Cybermen!

The Twelfth Doctor’s first battle with the Cybermen saw them taking another technological leap. They now had the ability to harvest the dead and turn them into Cybermen! To make matters worse, Missy, the new incarnation of the Master, was apparently in league with them. However, her reasons for teaming up with the Cybermen were a complete surprise to the Doctor. She wanted to make him an offer…This 13.5inch / 34 cms hand-painted resin statuette captures every morbid detail of the iconic monster design, straight from The Doctor Falls! The story featured the seventh Doctor and Ace visiting England in 1988, where they encounter three rival faction groups: the Cybermen, Lady Peinforte, and a Neo-Nazi group, who are all attempting to take control of a statue made of living metal, originally created on Gallifrey. This statue, created by President Rassilon, was designed to be the ultimate defence for the Time Lord planet. The Cybermen fleet are eventually wiped out by the power of the statue. 2006 Cybus Industries Cyberman And finally– Still to come, the superb Titan Maxi Bust and Character Building figure – but we have a feeling it wont stop there… More primitive and yet just as terrifying as their modern, armored counterparts, the original Cybermen featured circuitry and tubing, a mask of surgical-style cloth, and exposed hands of all-too-human flesh...
