Time to consult a mystical magical aritifact with the ability to divine the answer to any question asked of it about future events... The mysterious Orb of Prophecy!

Doctor Who and An Unearthly Child Playset

Entering the yard

An Unearthly Child (sometimes referred to as 100,000 BC) is the first serial of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It was first broadcast on BBC TV in four weekly parts from 23 November to 14 December 1963. Scripted by Australian writer Anthony Coburn, the serial introduces William Hartnell as the First Doctor and his original companions: Carole Ann Ford as the Doctor's granddaughter, Susan Foreman, with Jacqueline Hill and William Russell as school teachers Barbara Wright and Ian Chesterton. The first episode deals with Ian and Barbara's discovery of the Doctor and his time-space ship TARDIS in a junkyard in contemporary London. The remaining episodes are set amid a power struggle between warring Stone Age factions who have lost the secret of making fire.

Papercraft Batcave Build-up

As promised earlier, here is the complete build-up of the Batcave using AFTDownloads plans. This model is 1:18th scale and designed for the new Funko 3.75" line.

Coming soon: AFT Batcave Set

Stay Tuned Batfans, Action Figure Theatre Downloads will be releasing a 1966 Batcave Papercraft diorama playset next month... I can't wait!

Update: This will be for 3 3/4 inch figures only, not 6 inch 1:12 scale.

Time Crash

I got my hands on the Comicon Limited edition Time Crash figure set and I immediately set out to recreate a couple of scenes from the episode…

"You know, I loved being you..."

"Back when I first started, at the very beginning, I was always trying to be old and grumpy and important — like you do, when you're young. And then I was you. And it was all dashing about and playing cricket and my voice going all squeaky when I shouted. I still do that, the voice thing, I got that from you. Oh, and the trainers. And...snap! 'Cos you know what, Doctor? You were my Doctor."

Spearhead from Space

Today I made the Auton Plastic Factory from Spearhead from Space! I used Phil's plans from AftDownloads. BTW, AFTDownloads isn't closing after all. Thanks, Phil for making these sets for us.

AFT Downloads News

The sister site to Action Figure Theatre, AFT Downloads, where you can download the plans to the sets used to make playsets for your action figures, is closing. Fortunately the site will remain up for the time being so you can still download the sets that are available, there won’t be any new new sets added though. Bummer. Update: Since the time of original posting it it was learned that the site will continue! But there is a new TARDIS control room set for the 8th season available as a parting gift. I hope to get one built at some point. From WFTA, thanks to Phil for making these available to us and giving us many hours of pleasure downloading building and just plain playing. Here are some memories:

New Action Figure Theatre Sets

I recently acquired huge haul of Doctor Who action figures. This means building new sets for them! Of course all these sets are available from Phil at AFTDownloads.

Lets start with Tomb of the Cybermen:

Robots of Death Scene Re-Creation

In the hall, D84 hears Leela but the Doctor does not seem to. D84 accidentally scares the Doctor by sneaking up behind him. D84 tries to tell the Doctor that he heard a cry. The Doctor keeps telling him that it was his startled yelp, not realizing it was Leela. D84 keeps repeating that he heard a cry over and over as he follows the Doctor through the halls.

Pyramids of Mars – Priory Storage Room Revisited

I recently was able to get hold of a Character Options/Underground Toys Fourth Doctor’s TARDIS. To display this I thought of the Priory Storage room from Pyramids of Mars. I had already constructed the set a while back, so all I had to do was dig it back out of storage. Here is the Fourth Doctor’s TARDIS in the spot it landed in the Pyramids of Mars.
