Dapol

A well known production image of multiple Dapol figures. From left to right; Tetrap, Mel, Fourth Doctor, Seventh Doctor, K9, Ace, Silver Dalek, and Imperial Dalek; all in the TARDIS.

Dapol is a company that, having established itself as a manufacturer of model railway products in 1984, secured the licence from the BBC to produce and market a range of Doctor Who toys. The licence ran from 1988 until 2002.

Best known for its range of action figures of the Doctor, companions and enemies, as well as various TARDIS (interior and exterior) models, the company is infamously remembered for its less-than-perfect releases that include a five sided TARDIS console instead of six, a green K9, a Fourth Doctor with no hat or scarf, and an undersized Second Doctor with no articulation.

Under the terms of its licence Dapol also released special edition glassware products and adhesive transfers. In 1995 Dapol obtained a further licence to house and operate Doctor Who exhibitions.

Dapol lost its license in 2002. Had the line been allowed to continue, figures for the First Doctor, Jamie McCrimmon, the Yeti, Polly Wright, UNIT troops, Cyber-Leader would have been produced, as well as a new TARDIS console. Prototypes for the First Doctor and Yeti figures exist.
