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 the normal six, a green [[K9]], a Fourth Doctor with no hat or scarf, and an undersized Second Doctor with no articulation.
