Customer Reviews
"It's called a TARDIS."
At last, a version of the iconic TARDIS to scale with the current releases of the 5 inch figures.
An absolute must have for any collector or kid to play with, this great reproduction of The Doctor's ship is packed with features that will delight young and old alike.
Both doors on the front open and there is even the telephone inside the left door. They can be locked open and reveal the TARDIS interior. There's just enough room inside to fit figures of The Doctor and his Companion.
The best feature of this TARDIS though are the lights and sound effects built in. The Police Public Call Box signs on each side all light up and the glowing lantern on the top flashes appropriately, depending on what the TARDIS is doing at the time.
There are 8 sound effects in total.
When you open the doors the interior lights up and you get the sound of the TARDIS humming away.
There is a pressure lever in the base that registers if it's landed or flying and will make appropriate sounds when necessary. There's slow take off, take off and emergency launch, landing and emergency landing.
There's a spin button on the base and by placing your finger on it and spinning the TARDIS from the light on top it makes the flight sound which is rather cool.
The final sound is a bit tricky to coax out of the toy. If you shake it once (and only once!) in flight you get a flight disruption noise, but it's quite difficult to get the sensor inside to register this one.
All in all, a great fun toy for kids and adults and no Doctor Who collection would be complete without this toy.
THE TIME LORDS TIME MACHINE THAT'S INTERACTIVE.
This is the latest in the raft of TARDIS toy's and models which have flooded the market. This one is one of the best as it has motion sensitive electronics so it will produce various Tardis type sounds. From the lift off when you place it on a surface to opening the doors it will. Produce the humming of the ships engines as on the series as well as flickering internal lighting. There are other neat tricks such as spinning it which will make the sound of the ship in the Vortex. All in all this is a brilliant toy and lots of fun for young and old fans. It's also produced for the new range of 5 inch figures but unlike the Tv Tardis only 2 figures will squeeze inside !.
Doctor Who Tardis
This is a pretty sturdy toy with good play value for the money. The doors may not last long as the door release mechanism on our toy doesn't function properly and one has to manually release them. Please note that our toy did *not* come with the Doctor figure as in the picture. There is another version of this product out there with at least two action characters (Doctor and Martha) included, but we got the tardis on its own. So long as you are aware of this, the tardis itself makes an entertaining gift for any DW fanatic, but IMO play value is increased for children with the characters included. My daughter (8) is getting a bit old for it now, unfortunately, although she still loves the TV series and annuals. Ho hum.
