Doctor Who action figures were made by Denys Fisher Toys in the 1970s. The line included characters from the early Fourth Doctor period. The toys were designed by American toy company Mego, though they were not released in the US. Amongst the items available were:

An advertisement for these action figures can be seen on the DVD of The Face of Evil.

Identical figures were also made available in Italy from Harbert, with the boxes featuring Italian text — thus, the Giant Robot became a Super Robot (the actual translation would have been "Robot gigante"); Leela became Lella; the Cyberman became a Ciberniano; and the TARDIS became a Cabina della Polizia (which translates as "Cabin of the Police").
However, the names Doctor Who (which would actually have translated as "Il dottore Who") and Dalek (which doesn't translate into Italian at all) remained unchanged.
