Action Figure Report: Claws of Axos Collectors Set

This lovely little set from the Jon Pertwee story 'The Claws of Axos' has just been announced and features the Brig, Jo and a humanoid Axon. It's a great set but perhaps a little badly placed just after the previous release of 'The Three Doctors' Collectors Set, featuring two of the same figures, albeit with different clothes. This little beaut is expected for release 31st July 2013 and is available exclusively online from forbiddenplanet.co.uk

The set features:

- Brigadier action figure in jersey with U.N.I.T. beret and pistol.
- Jo Grant action figure.
- An Axon in Humanoid form action figure.

All three look like pretty good sculpts. It'll be nice to be able to put together with other figures from The Claws of Axos.

Action Figure Report: Exclusive Three Doctors Collectors Set


This wonderful set has just been announced, although you'll have to wait until 3rd January 2013 to take one home. This long awaited set includes:

-The Brigadier In Peaked Cap with Pistol
-Jo Grant (with alternate arms and removable gilet).
-Gel Guard

The quality of the likeness of the Brig and Jo look pretty good. The Gel Guard doesn't look quite perfect, but is still a fairly close representation.

Action Figure Report: Pyramids of Mars Set



Today this rather awesome Pyramids of Mars set was announced. The set was revealed on the Forbidden Planet website to be released 18th September but was quickly removed; perhaps because it was announced prematurely.

My only reservation is that the Sutekh figure should come with interchangeable heads.

Contents:

1 x Sutekh with jackal head action figure.
2 x Mars Guardian Robot Mummy action figures.
