How do I unlock and use this ability? When I walk into the TARDIS, the panel on the left-hand side has a menu of Doctor regenerations - but they are all locked when I access it. The Doctor will switch generations when he dies, in order. So if dying while set to the First Doctor, he will come back as the Second Doctor. If he dies as the Twelfth, he restarts and comes back as First. For a regeneration to appear on the menu in the TARDIS, the characters need to enter the TARDIS while the Doctor is in that form. So if you walk in as the Fourth Doctor, Fourth gets added to the menu. Having done the above, if you make the game save (e.g. "Save and Exit" a level), the Doctors should permanently appear on the TARDIS's menu:

While the rest of The Time of The Doctor was arguably a right mess, the regeneration is one of my favourite scenes in recent Who-history, and intrepid Animator/Youtuber BlobVanDam has recreated it pretty damn faithfully - but the Lego twist is pretty good. Check out the full scene below: It's almost like a cutscene out of the old Lego videogames (you know, the ones before they decided all the minifigures should talk all the time instead of being silent-movie-style goofballs), and all the little Lego-ified changes are pretty cleverly done, especially the actual regeneration changeover.
It kinda makes me want a Lego Doctor Who game now - Lego should get round to licensing those sets and give us one! All it's missing is the music from the scene itself. No I'm not crying, it's just suddenly really, really dusty in here... [via Doctor Who on Facebook]You're reading Toybox, io9's new blog for all things pop culture. From merchandise to awesome fan creations, TV recaps and critical commentary on the hot topics of the day, you can find it all here!The LEGO Dimensions Doctor Who level pack plays out like a television episode, and like any television episode it starts with opening credits—what might be the best Doctor Who opening credits sequence ever. Well, technically it begins with a prologue involving a large fleet of Dalek ships descending on the Earth and one of the Doctor’s greatest villains surrounded by plunger-armed robots acting like a bunch of frat boys, but then come those credits. Thus begins another episode of Doctor Who, because that’s what the LEGO Dimensions Doctor Who level pack is.
It might not have all that complicated a plot—the Doctor must travel back and forth through time to destroy a series of shield generators before confronting the aforementioned big bad guy in another place entirely. It might not have a Clara, but K-9 will do in a pinch. Plus, unlike any other Doctor Who episode, this one comes with toys. We’ve got the Doctor, of course. This is our first chance at a Peter Capaldi figure until the LEGO Ideas set is released on December 1. Obviously a pre-sunglasses version of the 12th. There’s the TARDIS, which is in all caps for a reason. It’s a lovely little build, complete with bits inside that can be used to rebuild it into either a Laser-Pulse TARDIS or an Energy-Burst TARDIS. And then we have K-9. He’s adorable, and the Doctor can ride him in all three of his forms, regular, Ruff Power and Laser Cutter. But most of all we get one of the lengthiest, most satisfying LEGO Dimensions levels yet. Okay, everyone who doesn’t want things ruined turned away?
Good.First off, here are a few special moments from the hour-and-change episode. We’ve got some explosions, a little time travel, a mention of—among other things—good old Weng Chiang, and the Doctor riding K-9 about and firing lasers. So the big bad guy is of course Davros, looking much haler and hardier than we last saw him in the show. He’s invaded Earth as a means to lure the Doctor into his trap, which ends just as well as it normally does. The Doctor and fleets of Daleks do not mix. The final conclusion takes place on Skaro, again looking much different than we last saw it, but not without a slight detour that should confuse and thrill fans of the series. Yes, it’s Trenzalore, the place where the TARDIS exploded and the Doctor...perhaps also exploded. I’m not clear on events. All I know is the game manages to pack both the Weeping Angels and The Silence into one place, and it’s wonderful. Once the credits roll on the Doctor’s big LEGO adventure there’s still an entire free-roaming Doctor Who world to explore.
The Doctor’s first task is to stitch together chunks of six different worlds—modern London, Victorian London, Skaro, Mars, Telos and Trenzalore. It’s pretty much a Doctor Who playground. Not only does the Doctor meet several of his contemporary allies and enemies here—including Missy, voiced gleefully by Michelle Gomez—we also get a hefty dose of old school nostalgia. It’s in the Adventure Level (as it’s called) that the Doctor gains the ability to regenerate into any of his previous forms, including John Hurt’s War Doctor.Pardon the temporal suicide. There are sights to see, adventure to undergo, Cybermats to slay and series music to unlock from the latest theme (sans electric guitar) way on back to 1963. Long story short, it’s the best. The Doctor Who LEGO Dimensions level pack is available now for $29.99 wherever video games are sold. It requires the $99.99 LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack to play. The $14.99 Cyberman Fun Pack arrives in January. or find him on Twitter @bunnyspatial.
