Denys Fisher Doctor Who action figures
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Doctor Who action figures were made by Denys Fisher Toys in the 1970s . The line included characters from the early Fourth Doctor period. Amongst the items available were:
- The K1 robot from Robot
- The Fourth Doctor, dressed roughly in season 12 garb and complete with sonic screwdriver
- Leela, dressed vaguely like her season 14 self and complete with knife
- A Dalek, silver with a red dome, a large blue eyestalk and blue sensor globes
- A Cyberman, roughly of the Revenge of the Cybermen type (albeit with a nose)
- K9, with friction drive wheels
- The TARDIS – pushing one of two buttons on top of the toy would make the inside of the police box revolve, along with the rooftop light, so that a figure placed inside (such as the Doctor, for example) could be made to 'materialise' or 'dematerialise' as if by magic
- Identical figures were also made available in Italy from Harbert, with the boxes featuring Italian text: the Giant Robot became a 'Super Robot'; 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' and 'Dalek' remained unchanged.
