'''Dapol''' | '''Dapol''' are a railway maker which secured the licence from the [[British Broadcasting Corporation|BBC]] to produce and market a range of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' toys. The licence ran from [[1988]] until [[2002]]. | ||
Its range included action figures of [[the Doctor]], [[companion]]s and enemies, as well as various [[the Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] models. The company often released obviously flawed figures, such as a five sided [[TARDIS console]] instead of the normal six, a green [[K9]], a [[Fourth Doctor]] with no [[hat]] or [[the Doctor's scarf|scarf]], and an undersized [[Second Doctor]] with no articulation. | Its range included action figures of [[the Doctor]], [[companion]]s and enemies, as well as various [[the Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] models.

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 exhibition]]s. | Under the terms of its licence Dapol also released special edition glassware products and adhesive transfers.
