In 2015, LEGO began releasing products related to Doctor Who. On 29 September, LEGO Dimensions [+]Loading...["LEGO Dimensions (video game)"] was released, with the Doctor and a weapons-grade Cyberman as playable characters. The plot of LEGO Dimensions showed the Doctor Who universe as existing within the "LEGO multiverse". Later that year, a LEGO set was released, with six minifigures and a TARDIS minifigure, which could be converted into a scenario.
In 2017, The LEGO Batman Movie continued the trend of Doctor Who being in the LEGO multiverse by showing Daleks as one of many villains imprisoned in the interdimensional Phantom Zone. 2019's The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part briefly features the Doctor's TARDIS from the official LEGO set as one of many pop culture time machines which are taken apart and rebuilt into a single time machine.
The LEGO Thirteenth Doctor pictured in The Zygon Isolation is real, as it's a custom produced by a website called minifigs.me. Since The Zygon Isolation, minifigs.me has updated the design to make it more accurate.[1]
