Dapol was a company that, having established itself as a manufacturer of model railway products in 1984, secured the license from the BBC to produce and market a range of Doctor Who toys. The license ran from 1988 until 2002.
Best known for its range of action figures of both the Doctor, companions and enemies as well as various TARDIS (interior and exterior) models, the company was infamously remembered for its 'less-than-perfect' releases that included a five sided TARDIS console and a green K-9.
Under the terms of its license Dapol also released a number of special edition glassware products and adhesive transfers.
In 1995 Dapol obtained a further license to house and operate Doctor Who exhibitions.
