ICP Direct Presents Doctor Who
After years of poor quality Doctor Who action figures, Matt
from Iron-Cow Productions decided to take a break from his normal Batman
related lines and pursue an interest from his childhood. In development for
over a year, this line shifted mid-production to complement the new products
from Product Enterprise. As such, all the ICP Doctor Who figures are in
scale with the Pro-Ent Daleks and will feature 15 unique figure in their
debut line plus two Custom Con exclusive variants and a History of the TARDIS
playset.
Shown here is the entire Iron-Cow Prod ICP Direct Doctor Who
showroom. 30 prototype figures (some duplicates) were shown along with the
History of the TARDIS playset. In the background are previous Iron-Cow Prod.
customs as seen on the
www.ironcowprod.com.
The First Doctor
Doctor Who made its debut in 1963, with William Hartnell as the first actor
to portray the Doctor. Here his likeness is immortalized in plastic. The
First Doctor comes with a removable cane.
The Second Doctor
Portraying the Second Doctor, Patrick Troughton is a favorite among fans. He
took over the role from William Hartnell after poor health led Hartnell to
leave the series.
The Third Doctor
Jon Pertwee became the third actor to play the role of the Doctor, bringing
a more action-oriented James Bond feel to the show. The head sculpt shown
here is a work and progress and a more accurate likeness will be included in
the final product. Also, his trademark jacket and cape are in development,
and should be included with the final product. However, they might instead
be included in a future variation figure of the Third Doctor.
The Fourth Doctor
Easily the most recognizable of the Doctors, this figure represents the era
of Doctor Who when Tom Baker played the title character. Seen with him is a
fellow Time Lord companion Lady Romana II and a work in progress K-9
accessory. K-9 should be ready for inclusion by the time the line hits the
shelves.
The Fifth and Sixth Doctors
After Tom Baker left the series, the producers felt the need to depart
somewhat from the type of actor normally associated with portraying the
Doctor. As such, Peter Davidson was chosen to play a more sensitive,
youthful Doctor.
After Peter Davidson left to pursue other projects, he was ultimately
replaced by Colin Baker, a Doctor who was irrational and occasionally
violent. The Sixth Doctor by far had the most garish design of all the
Doctors, reflecting his unstable nature.
The Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Doctors
Here is another shot of the Sixth Doctor to show the craftsmanship in the
patterning. Joining him is the Seventh Doctor, as portrayed by Sylvester
McCoy. Not shown was the Seventh Doctor's umbrella. The Seventh Doctor was
the last character featured in the television series before the show was
canceled.
However, in 1996, there was an attempt to revitalize the Doctor Who series.
A made-for-television movie was created featuring the Seventh Doctor (McCoy,
center) who regenerated in the Eighth Doctor (right) after being shot in an
alleyway. The Eighth Doctor featured actor Paul McGann in the role.
ICP Doctor Who Custom Con Variants
Seen here are two Custom Con Doctor Who variants. This version of the Fourth
Doctor (left) comes without the oversized scarf and the Sixth Doctor (right)
is shown without his multicolored jacket. Both were displayed primarily to
show off the intricate work that went into producing the patterning on the
fabrics.
The Auton 2-Pack and the Master
As seen in the Third Doctor story arc "Spearhead From Space," the Autons are
the ground troops for the invading Nestene Consciousness. The Autons are
capable of animating anything plastic, and are seen here as mannequins that
attack London. Note the Auton's Hand Weapon.
Shown with them is the Master, the Doctor's ultimate nemesis. Roger Delgado
was the first actor to portray the Master, and will ultimately come with his
own TARDIS playset, available in the ICP Fall 2002 Doctor Who line.
The History of the Cybermen 3-Pack
In conjunction with Pro-Ent's upcoming Cyberman figure, the ICP versions
explore the early initial Cyberman designs. In the back is the original
Cyberman as seen in the episode "The Tenth Planet". On the far left is the
Mark II Cyberman from "Tomb of the Cyberman." Finally the Mark IV Cyberman
is on the right, as seen in the episode "The Invasion." The Mk IV Cyberman
also comes with a flame-thrower accessory (not seen in this photo).
The Sontarans 2-Pack
The Sontarans are the perfect warriors. Powerful beings, these clones are
nearly unstoppable. The ICP Sontaran figure comes with a removable helmet to
show the warrior underneath.
The TARDIS playset
The TARDIS is the vehicle the Doctor uses to travel through time and space.
Shown here is the TARDIS itself, and both the original console and the
updated console from the Fifth Doctor era. Both consoles are works in
progress, but will make their appearance when the line hits the shelves
later this year.
