Doctor Who Tardis Playset

Product Information

As fans know, in the first ever episode of the TV show we encounter the TARDIS and its owner and pilot, an alien traveller known only as The Doctor. It’s the start of a great number of adventures over many years. Searle, Adrian (16 February 2009). "Let's do the time warp again". The Guardian. London . Retrieved 3 November 2009.

Panini Magazines/ Hachette Partworks Ltd. p.37.

The TARDIS also allows the Doctor and others to communicate with people who speak languages other than their own, as well as turn all written languages to English. The "translation circuit" (occasionally called the "translation matrix") was first explored in "The Masque of Mandragora" (1976), as the Doctor explained to his companion, Sarah Jane, "Well, I've taken you to some strange places before and you've never asked how you understood the local language. It's a Time Lord's gift I allow you to share. But tonight when you asked me how you understood Italian, I realized your mind had been taken over." The translation circuit has also been explored in comparison with real-world machine translation, with researchers Mark Halley and Lynne Bowker concluding that "when it comes to the science of translation technology, Doctor Who gets it wrong more often than it gets it right. However, perhaps we can forgive the artistic license if we recognize that, as in other science fiction works, the presentation of some type of ubiquitous translation tool is necessary to explain to the audience how people from other countries, time periods, and even other worlds, can understand each other and indeed appear to speak (mostly) flawless English." [15] The episode's writer Steven Moffat confirmed that this line was an in-joke aimed at fans on "Internet forums". [29] Anyway, just future wishes that easily fit in with the way Character has to provide product at minimal cost/effort, while, I think, still satisfying the core base they have to attract at B&M.

The TARDIS, or Time And Relative Dimension In Space, is a time machine and spacecraft created by the Time Lords on Gallifrey. Seeing it now in person I do like it. I know the sculpt is not entirely accurate, it being a reuse of a classic box, but I think they’ve done the best they can with it given the budget they had. There’s enough unique reworked features on it to make it original enough and satisfying as a 13th Doctor’s TARDIS. It does looks classy in the box, and I like the darker greener blue, and silver window frames and appreciate the effort of the resculpted roof, lantern and door sign. I was initially disappointed when I heard this TARDIS wasn’t going to have an interior light, as having a TARDIS lit from the inside, as in the 10th and 12th Doctors’ Electronic Flight Control TARDISes, is what gives it a magical quality. But it being a reuse of a classic Electronic box this is what we get, and it’s just nice have a release of a 13th Doctor’s Tardis. Only the fourth best of the four Electronic modern TARDISes maybe from a light and sound point of view, but I still like the way it looks, and I’m pleased we got it. Dalek Z no worries that’s completely fair. The market is so dry atm because there hasn’t been a huge demand for figures for a long time. I’d have loved a more accurate TARDIS, but the problem is supply is either too low or too risky to produce something entirely new. Each wave has a strict limit to how much it can be produced, based on the most sustainable price to which it sells. I also imagine a good chunk of that budget went to the Recon Dalek. The TARDIS appears in the two film productions, Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965) and Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (1966). In both films the Doctor, played by Peter Cushing, is an eccentric scientist who invented the TARDIS himself.
