Toybox REVIEW: Doctor Who 50th Anniversary British Icon Dalek

Doctor Who 50th Anniversary British Icon Dalek

The 50th anniversary of Doctor Who should have been a brilliant opportunity for Character Options to release some great new items to the line. While there have been a few nice bits and pieces, such as the 11 Doctor/Dalek 2-packs and the new Doctor wave of Character Building figurines, but all in all it hasn't be particularly wonderful and the focus is still very much on the new line of 3.75" figures. Still as a Dalek collector there was one prize that took my eye - the 12" 50th Anniversary British Icon Dalek, a delightfully garish figure emblazoned with the British flag. And having been persuaded by a full-sized version at the official BBC stall at London's Doctor Who anniversary celebrations, I just couldn't say no...

The packaging is a fairly unoriginal window box, with most of the design taken up by the blue vortex Doctor Who packaging has had since around 2010. The box also features the silver TARDIS "50th Anniversary" logo, and numerous collectors/limited edition banners to remind you that you're presumably getting something that won't be on shelves for very long. Getting it out of the box is a little bit of a chore, as the Dalek base is screwed to the cardboard tray and needs to be released with the use of a screwdriver. Make sure you have a narrow screwdriver handy though, because the plastic tube things protruding from the bottom aren't the widest of things.

So once you've struggled to take it out of the box you have a big, blue patriotic Dalek standing tall. I've always been partial to blue Daleks (which is a shame because outside the Strategists they are reduced to promo units), but there's really something great about the darker flag blue with white slats and hemispheres. Two different colours isn't a common thing on the 2005 Dalek design, so seeing this traditional styling on even a limited edition thing is a nice touch. The flag portion only covers the front section of the Dalek, stretching from the front half of the dome to the bottom of the skirt, and then wrapping around to the width of the appendage box. Under the eyestalk is a rather appropriate "2013" in place of the usual ID tag of the modern Daleks.

The electronics can be switched on at the bottom of the base, and then activated via the third hemisphere down on the second skirt panel on the Dalek's left (if you look at it face on). While "on" the eyestalk will be lit blue, and the lights will flash in time with the speech. The Dalek is free-wheeling and so can be pushed along a floor, and the middle section is also capable of turning a full 360 degrees.

But as nice as the British Icon Dalek looks, it certainly isn't without its problems. Strip away the wonderful decor and all it is is your standard 12" remote controlled Dalek, with all of the remote control functions naturally gutted. This is most noticeable in with the dome, which cannot fully rotate 360 degrees and instead can only turn side to side (the RC versions have it automated as the Dalek rolls along). There has been zero effort in giving this new Dalek a new voice bank, instead having it churn out the same sound clips every remote controlled one has had since the first was released (which was about the time season two aired if I remember correctly). Would it have been so hard to give it something a little different for the 50th anniversary, such as a "Celebrate!" instead of/to coincide with "Exterminate!"? Or even the infamous "Would you care for some tea?" line from Victory of the Daleks - after all, this particular Dalek is a true Brit through and through. Instead we get a poor rehash of something that's been on the market for about seven years, which takes FOUR AA batteries and lacks the ability to choose which speech clip is being used (the button method is randomised, while the remote on the RC version had specific clip buttons). Very disappointed.


As an avid Dalek collector I don't regret my purchase in the slightest and am a bit disappointed the American flag version has been seemingly cancelled (although I don't know why it needed making in the first place), but this is a difficult thing to recommend to anyone not as Dalek obsessed as I. As a limited anniversary piece it's something special and the paint job is just wonderful, but if this is your first foray into the world of 12" Daleks then you may as well save up a little bit of extra cash and spring for the new remote controlled Asylum version instead.

Reviews in Time & Space: The Day of the Doctor

Day of the Doctor promotional poster

So it's finally here. On the 23rd November at precisely 17:16pm the very first episode of Doctor Who aired, and at the time I'm sure no one thought we'd still be here 50 years later. The show has experienced some turbulent times over the years, but in the last eight years has arguably bounced back bigger and stronger than ever, and was in perfect position to celebrate its golden anniversary in style. There have been plenty of wonderful productions to celebrate this momentous occasion - Big Finish's own multi-Doctor crossover audio "The Light at the End", Gatiss' moving docudrama about the birth of the show "An Adventure in Space and Time" and even a wonderful skit of Peter Davison, Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy (that's Doctors 5, 6 and 7) going on an epic quest to earn a place in the anniversary special. Each has served a different purpose and celebrated in its own special way, but this is the big one - the television 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, appropriately titled "The Day of the Doctor".

This special 75 minute episode sees 10th Doctor David Tennant return to the show for a special crossover that introduces John Hurt as a new, forgotten incarnation of the Doctor. In the last days of the last great Time War between the Time Lords and Daleks, this war-beaten Doctor seizes Gallifrey's ultimate weapon to make the ultimate sacrifice to end the conflict once and for all. As the weapon's interface takes on a familiar (or rather unfamiliar) face to show the War Doctor where his decision will lead him in life, he meets up with the 10th and 11th reincarnations of the Doctor and becomes wrapped up in a Zygon plot to take over the Earth - in both Elizabethan England and modern day! Can the two Doctors accept the man they once were? And is he also proud of the men he will become?

Hurt, Tennant and Smith in The Day of the Doctor
"They're screwdrivers! What are you going to do, assemble a cabinet at them?"

Ever since those final moments of season seven finale "The Name of the Doctor", I've had very mixed feelings about the addition of a ninth forgotten incarnation. It's certainly a huge bombshell and something great for story purposes, but the idea of throwing established numbering off is something that didn't sit with me well. However after the frankly brilliant minisode "The Night of the Doctor" featuring the long overdue return of Paul McGann, I was willing to give it a fair shot. John Hurt is absolutely superb as the War Doctor, adding a much needed adult quality that has been missing from the newer Doctors and something many hope to see return with Peter Capaldi next year. His performance not only gives off the aura of a war-hardened Doctor who can make the decisions the others never could, but also of a tired old man who had to give up all the values he lived by. Seeing him react to his successors is very reminiscent to the 1st Doctor's reactions in "The Three Doctors", and his comments about how young the Doctor looks, using the Sonic Screwdriver as a weapon and the ever-ridiculous "Timey Wimey" catchphrase just go to show Doctor Who isn't beyond poking fun at itself sometimes.

The War Doctor meets The Moment
"No more."

Then we come to our already established Doctors, and welcome back a lone wandering 10 to the show. Tennant's absence hasn't changed the character a bit, with his romantic swagger playing off brilliantly against Matt Smith's excitable manchild Doctor. The two can go from complimenting each other to bickering within seconds, though having a much stabler relationship than the rocky rivalry of the second and third Doctors. They may have their differences, but put together Chinny, Sand shoes and Granddad are an unbeatable team.

Despite having three Doctors, the episode runs fairly low on companions but each of them certainly have their presence known in the story. While Clara doesn't get to do a whole lot in the show, she continues to act as the 11th Doctor's moral compass, guiding him back on track of becoming the hero he was once was and away from the forgetful hermit he seems to have become. Billie Piper returns but not as Rose Tyler, instead playing The Moment's interface - taking on the shape of the Bad Wolf. Billie Piper played a big role in bringing the show to modern audiences so her inclusion is welcome, but Rose's story is done - adding anything else to it not only needlessly extends things, but also pays disservice to every other companion that's served after her. She sparkles in the role of the "Bad Wolf", adding a level of seniority to the character Rose Tyler could never have and giving the War Doctor something it doesn't seem like he's had in a long, long time - a companion.

The Daleks storm Gallifrey as Arcadia falls
The Time War is finally realised. Flames are obligatory.

This episode features two different monsters, neither of which have a particularly central focus but are very much necessary to the overall story. It would be wrong to do a 50th anniversary episode without the Daleks, and finally depicting some Time War action is a fantastic way to give Who's greatest villains the gravitas they seem to have lost over the last few years. It's only a brief snippet, but in our first proper foray into the event that's rocked Who for the last eight years we saw Dalek battleships blasting the surface of Gallifrey and the creatures ready to fire on a cornered family amongst a sea of flames and destruction. The squad's defeat at the hands of the War Doctor also served to illustrate a much tougher incarnation, literally ploughing his TARDIS through them. The sheer carnage of the Time War is something we'll probably never see properly realised onscreen (not just due to budget constraints, but also to keep the show family-friendly), but if this is all we get then I think it served the purpose well.

The Zygons return in "The Day of the Doctor"
They're baaaaack...

The "modern" portion of the story saw the return of another classic monster, one that's garnered quite a following despite having only appeared in one story before. The Zygons are back, and as one of the only monsters to genuinely terrify me as a child it was nice to see the design largely unaltered (once again the fangs were unnecessary though). Though one could argue that their story thread was dropped rather quickly once it stopped being a metaphor for the Doctors' story, it served its place very nicely in the grand scheme of things and secured yet another great monster as a part of the modern revival. Plus the whole shape-shifting aspect of the Zygons allowed for Tennant to have some really brilliant lines.

Our first glimpse of the next Doctor
The forehead from the future.

Getting all the old gang back together at this stage was impossible, and playing a multi Doctor story like the classic series did seems like a bit of a pipedream - actors change and not everyone will be able to suspend their belief like the more dedicated fans can. But Moffat was sure to give every Doctor a place in the special, with every incarnation of the Doctor coming together at the end to save the day. And that isn't just 12 Doctors, as we also get a brief cameo of what is yet to come in Doctor Who - a man who's eyes and forehead is more than enough to make any fan squeal in joy. Other nice little nods to the past include Clara's new job at Coal Hill School (with a certain I. Chesterton as Head of the Governors), UNIT's flowchart of the Doctor's past companions and of course the appearance of the museums curator. While arguably more fan pleasing than anything that'll have real relevance on the future of the series, this touching exchange really does go to show that revisiting old favourites is never a bad thing.

Tom Baker returns
"I never forget a face..."

From the moment the original 1963 title sequence came onscreen I had a feeling Doctor Who fans were in for something special, and I feel honoured to have watched this episode along with thousands of other fans at the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Celebration in London. This is easily one of the best episodes of Doctor Who since its revival in 2005, and will certainly go down as one of my favourites in the show's entire run. With tribute to the past, "The Day of the Doctor" addresses what the series has become and just as importantly, where it goes from here. Here's to another 50 years!

Toybox REVIEW: S.H. Figuarts Ptera Ranger

Bandai's S.H. Figuarts Ptera Ranger from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger

Despite their huge popularity on a worldwide scale as the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, it seems not even the Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger team can escape the Tamashii Web Exclusive curse that has been placed on every Super Sentai character that isn't red (or in some cases, a sixth ranger). Following on from the mass release S.H. Figuarts Tyranno Ranger and Dragon Ranger a few months ago, the third installment to the team is the only female of the group - Risha Tribe Princess Mei aka Ptera Ranger! MMPR fans will know this character as the Pink Ranger aka Kimberly (and then later Kat), and the figure has also been released in America via Bluefin with special Power Rangers packaging to celebrate the franchise's 20th anniversary.

Continuing the recent trend of Tamashii Web exclusives, it seems the days of plastic window boxes is over for this selection of Figuarts. Ptera Ranger comes packaged in a windowless, pink carboard box with a great shot of the figure firing the Ptera Arrow adorning the front. The back is in a similar style to the previous Zyuranger releases, combining the pink with a black background and silver/grey lettering. Of course if you happen to own the Bluefin version of this figure, your packaging will look a little more like this...

As is typical for the female Super Sentai Figuarts Ptera Ranger is noticeably shorter than her teammates, but hasn't lost any of the articulation. The shade of pink used seems a lot hotter on the final product than the initial preorder images seemed to suggest, but this isn't at all a bad thing as if anything this shade is far more accurate to the original suit. The skirt is two pieces so can be moved a bit if it's getting in the way of posing, but any hindrance can be avoided altogether by taking advantage of the mould's swing-down hip setup. And with that skirt in place, any unsightly gaps remain completely covered, perfect!

Ptera Ranger's remaining articulation includes a ball jointed head, double jointed neck/shoulders/elbows/knees, ball jointed torso, triple jointed ankle and finally a toe hinge. A bicep swivel is pretty much the only thing missing, and it's more than clear that inclusion of that is a rarity amongst these figures.

Then we come to the accessories, which where my complaints about the figure both start and end. Altogether we have eight different hands, the Ranger Stick in holstered mode, Ranger Stick/Thunder Slinger combination and Ptera Bow. A Ptera Arrow is also included, attached to one of the left hands rather than as a separate piece which is MUCH better as it avoids difficulty trying to get the arrow to stay in the hand. Sculpt-wise I can't fault any of these weapons, they all look great and are beautifully painted without a single detail lost.

The problems lie in what Ptera Ranger DOESN'T come with. If it wasn't already obvious from the windowless box that Bandai were trying to cut down costs with their web exclusives, it certainly will be when you think about what this figure could (and possibly should) have come with. Despite being a signature team weapon, the Ranger Stick isn't included in either gun or sword modes so you're already out of luck is you planned to have the team posed together with them. No separate Thunder Slinger is a huge loss (the weapon wasn't particularly memorable save a few episodes in Zyuranger and completely forgettable in MMPR), but choosing the Slinger/Stick combo over either of the Stick's proper modes is baffling. There's also no fully open right hand, so getting a perfect roll call pose is sadly impossible unless you borrow a hand from another figure. One thing I'm not sad to see the loss of is the "action poses" skirt pieces seen with the Shinken and Gokai girls, because they looked stupid.

I absolutely cannot fault the Ptera Ranger figure itself, it's another addition to Figuarts' brilliant Super Sentai entries this year and undoubtedly the best figure the character has ever had. However I can't really overlook Bandai's obvious cost cutting here like I did with the recently released Kamen Rider Black renewal figure. There is absolutely not reason why she didn't need to come with the gun or sword versions of the Ranger Stick - the pieces have already been made and its a signature weapon for all five core Zyurangers. It's also a pity that there aren't two corresponding hands to recreate Mei's roll call pose properly, something I really liked about the selection with Tyranno Ranger. Zyuranger and Power Ranger completists are going to love this figure, but be prepared for this lack of accessories to continue in the remaining three releases.

Toybox REVIEW: S.H. Figuarts Shadow Moon

Bandai Tamashii Nations' S.H. Figuarts Shadow Moon from Kamen Rider Black

With a brand new Kamen Rider Black and a brand new Battle Hopper, it would be wrong not to have a Shadow Moon figure on the market at the same time. The second Century King, stepbrother to Black himself and villain of the show - Shadow Moon is the result of Gorgom's successful brainwashing. Having received a figure back in 2011, Shadow Moon wasn't desperately in need of a renewal like his counterpart and so Bandai have instead settled for a reissue. So without further ado let's take a look at one of the most popular villains in the Kamen Rider franchise.

Bandai Tamashii Nations' S.H. Figuarts Shadow Moon from Kamen Rider Black

Once upon a time Figuarts boxes weren't all that interesting, and the standard was a silver foil box with black lettering and a picture of the character (rather than of the toy itself). Despite not being a REALLY old figure, Shadow Moon still follows this pattern and given his colourscheme it kinda works. It's nice reflective box but MISB collectors should be warned that the foil finish comes off quite easily (there was a big chunk of mine taken out presumably in transit). The back has the usual posed pictures, using the typical Bandai background you see in the official website images.

Though originally released in 2011, Shadow Moon is the perfect example of how even a few years ago Bandai was perfect at nailing the look of some suits. It might simply be down to the fact Shadow Moon is more armoured than most Kamen Riders, but the transition from suit to toy was handled brilliantly. All the metal detailing such as the rivets and vents look fantastic, and the silver/grey/black colour really gives off the "evil cyborg rider" vibe. Of course this is topped off by the translucent green eyes and King Stone, which really sparkle in the light. This is without mentioning the headsculpt, which features all kinds of tiny detailing on the crest. The grasshopper arms on the elbows are made of soft plastic, so you don't need to worry about them accidentally breaking during play.

Articulation is great all around (and pretty good for character who's not overly dynamic anyway), but there are a few things worth mentioning. Like the new Black the shoulder armour is pegged to the side of the shoulder, rather than being attached to the torso via a hinge joint. It's a more seamless look at there isn't an obtrusive hinge sticking out, and thankfully doesn't incur the same hideous gap Black can have if you aren't careful. The silver bands around the forearms are a pretty big limitation on the elbow joints, and so what are usually double-joints can now only realistically achieve a 90 degree angle. I'm not sure if Shadow Moon has a neck joint, but if he does mine is so stiff that movement is practically non-existent.

My favourite additional feature is that the grasshopper legs on the feet can be moved up and done, which really adds that little extra pizazz to posing.

Shadow Moon doesn't come with a great deal of accessories, but at the same time he comes with pretty much everything he needs AND features items from both Kamen Rider Black and his later appearance in Kamen Rider Black RX. Aside from his meager offering of six hands (open, closed fist, grabbing), this set also includes the Satan Saber (from Black) and the dual Shadow Sabers he wields in Black RX. None of the swords are overly detailed, but the Satan Saber has all the relevant hilt decor and the translucent plastic blades on all three are just lovely. His grabbing hands also mean Shadow Moon is able to ride Battle Hopper, which is perfect if you have the old version and aren't really sure what to do with it now.

Shadow Moon is a wonderful figure and pretty much a must-have for anyone who likes Kamen Rider Black, Kamen Rider Black RX or just wants one of the franchise's most iconic villains. The minimal hand count isn't at all a knock against him, because Shadow Moon comes with absolutely everything he needs to. Despite being a figure that recently celebrated his second birthday, Shadow Moon has proved that he can still go toe to toe with some of the up to date releases Tamashii Nations have to offer.

Toybox REVIEW: S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Black (Renewal)

Bandai SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Black Renewal

While the S.H. Figuarts line is arguably still near the top when it comes to toy quality, that doesn't mean there's no room for improvement. The line is a good few years old now and the age of some of the early releases is beginning to show, especially when stacked up to some of the most recent Kamen Rider figures. It was only a matter of time before Bandai Tamashii Nations started to tread the path of renewal figures, something that's already in effect in their similar Ultra-Act line. And what better way to kick off new versions of beloved characters than with one of the most popular Kamen Riders (and apparently, most popular Figuarts) - Kamen Rider Black! Black's release was also timed with a brand new version of Battle Hopper, who won't be included in this review because I stupidly passed up on pre-ordering it.

Bandai SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Black Renewal

The original Kamen Rider Black figure had to deal with the bland silver Figuart packaging of old, so this new version is a nice way for Bandai to the box a well-deserved makeover too. It seems green is in, with a nice dark colourscheme and pictures of the figure with some Photoshop wizardry thrown in for good measure. The back of the box also features a picture of him riding Battle Hopper, to further rub salt in the wounds of those silly people who didn't buy them alongside each other.

So here he is, the all new Kamen Rider Black. In reality a picture can say more than words ever will, so before I begin just take a look at this picture of him next to the original Black release from 2009 (credit to the ever wonderful blogger Hacchaka). Kinda makes the old one look like a budget toy doesn't it?

The detail this figure has is absolutely astounding. Not only does the crotch piece feature leather creases (that's something I never thought I'd see myself praising), but the inside legs also feature seam marks! Bandai really went out of the way to make something that was as close to original suit as possible, and a labour of love to this classic Kamen Rider. The matte black finish is just beautiful, and topped off by the striking yellow/red/silver stripes and those wonderful compound eyes. Black has a fantastic range of articulation, with even the typical swing down hips seemingly having gained an extra bit of care. While this tried and tested method of articulation works just like it usually would, the design of the crotch/legs make it seem a lot less intrusive and notable - to the point where it took me a while to register that it even was the same joint system! This allows for a more natural range of motion without having to cut into the leg like the Ryuki Riders do.

If I had one minor complaint, it would be the way the shoulder pads are attached which can leave the joints exposed when posing. However if you play around with it a bit it isn't too hard to mask.

Bandai SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Black Renewal

With such a beautifully sculpted figure, surely there must be some sort of trade-off right? Well there is...kind of. Anyone expecting a generous accessory count with Black is going to be sorely disappointed, as altogether he comes with a grand total of 10 hands. Granted he didn't use any weapons in the show itself, but this release doesn't include any sort of effect parts or a Tamashii Stage either. Would that have been too much to ask? The basic Wizard releases had their own stands, as do most of the Ryuki Riders (who all also have a boatload of accessories) so why not here? And even without weapons, Black's signature "Rider Punch" and "Rider Kick" moves had some pretty flashy graphics so effect parts would have been perfect.

Still, judging the hands alone there's a good range included and none of them feel over-sized. As well as the obligatory closed fists and grabbing hands (which can be used with the new Battle Hopper or so Black can wield Shadow Moon's Satan Saber), we also have a couple of transformation and battle stance poses.

Satan Saber not included.

Yes the accessory count is rather poor (but still maybe not as bad as poor old Kiba Ranger), but is that enough to knock Kamen Rider Black down? Not a chance - even with only a few hands to his name this is without a doubt one of the best looking and most accurate Figuarts Bandai have put out to do. The level of detail is simply amazing, while the new style body retains all the articulation you'd expect from a Figuart while at the same time disguising some of the more unsightly joints. The renewal Kamen Rider Black REALLY puts the "art" back in Figuart, and if this is the standard Bandai are setting I can't wait to see the renewal Kamen Rider Kabuto next year.
