Favourite Doctor Who toy

Sorry fairly new to this forum so apologies if this has already been discussed. What was/is everyone's favourite Doctor Who toy or merchandise?

I was a seventies child so grew up mainly in the Tom Baker era. Loved the War of the Daleks board game (still have fond memories of those little silver/red & gold/blue Daleks moving around the board!)

Also had the Denys Fishers figures - the Giant Robot was great! Alas the Cyberman was shocking complete with silver suit that disintegrated and for some unknown reason had a nose! Great memories!

    My Doctor Who radio rocked! Bought when I was only 10 and boasted a wicked sound effect as well.

    I had the Denys Fisher stuff, loved it but so wish the the action figure format would have been available back then as they were for Star Wars. The Denys Fisher stuff was good but so utterly inaccurate in so many ways. Doctor Who merchandising was not great in the 70s.

    I had a Dalek alarm clock that threatened to murder me every morning.

    My Captain Jack Harkness five inch action figures - one with World War II jacket, the other without.

    Also, I've got the Eleventh Doctor Sonic Screwdriver. Love that! :cool:

    Could do with one of those to get the kids up for school hehe!

    My brother had loads of Dapol daleks, davros and sylvester mccoy doctor, think he had ace too, or the other screamer. I got the job reconstructing dalek heads out of modelling clay when a few got
    smashed up in his epic battle, not the hardiest of toys for a little boy, but then again, the battle play was violent :D

    My daughter has a great Tom Baker doctor figure, has a packet of jelly babies. DT doc has lost an arm and Matt doc a leg, Amy and Donna seem the hardiest, still in one piece. Nu Daleks are too. Always great fun Doctor Who war games..I think they will be brought out of retirement from the depths of the toybox when the show starts again :)

    I'm still rather fond of my Tardis money box, remote control K9 and the Dalek in my bathroom that contained shower lotion - but don't tell anyone...

    Yes I loved the talking Dalek. The Silver and blue was better than the red and black.
    "What are your orders!"
    "You will obey!"
    "Attack! Attack! Attack!" (although I can't remember a Dalek on TV ever saying this!)
    "Exterminate! Exterminate!"

    Back in 2006, my husband bought me the original (New series) remote control Dalek as one of my wedding presents. It had been the number one best selling toy the previous Christmas (2005). I still have it. It still works.

    Best. Toy. Ever.

    It had a very strange sucker arm too if memory serves, looked more like a small radar dish.

    I had the red and black btw!

    The Dapol 25th anniversary playset. Ok, so there's so much wrong with it....5 sided console, green K9, but nothing like it has been released since. Which is a terrible shame

    I had a tardis with a tom baker figure that you put inside the tardis, you then turned the light at the top & the doctor disappeared.

    More recently my son has had a model of the 11th doctors tardis, sonic screwdriver & a remote controlled dalek (the yellow one)

    That was fourth Doctor merchandise, right? Was it called something like the "Tardis Tuner" or "Tardis Tracker".

    I remember seeing the ads for it in Doctor Who Weekly. :D


    Have to say from the current stuff, the voice command 18" Dalek is pretty bad a$$ - I've the black version and it looks so cool.

    That's right, the Tardis Tuner, it was advertised with a small comic strip and some enemy alien made up for the ad, the Turgids or something!

    Probably my complete collection of Titan figures, though they aren't toys obviously. I also have a proper replica of 10s Sonic from The Celestial Toymaker. So actually modern stuff. Come to think of it even though I have been in to Doctor Who since T Baker I don't have any classic toys! Not sure I ever did!

    It was always star wars for me!

    There is a smartphone controlled K9 I want but I don't think it out yet yet

    As a 60's child....I was so chuffed with my plastic Money Box TARDIS!! It lasted for thirty years - and then got lost! I also had a clockwork Dalek (wrecked within a year!)

    As a 53 year-old - I still have a 'new' Tardis (David Tennant era) on my side table!
    I'm a bit old for collecting models of them all - but I would have liked William Hartnell and Tom Baker on my mantel-piece!:)

    When I was young lad, my favourite Dr Who toys were a plastic William Hartnell Tardis money box, long lost (saw one on ebay 18 months ago, went for over £130) and the Marx bump and go Dalek. Now I am particularly fond of the 18'' speech control Dalek and the large diecast Tardis as well as the flight tardises that have the sound effects, but my all time favourite "toy" is my full size tardis.
