Doctor Who And Companions Official LEGO Comments 5LEGO Cuusoo will now consider LEGO Doctor Who ideas.More LEGO photos of my set will be posted on my website HEREYou Tube video showing Tardis unfold and interior The iconic Tardis sits where it all began, Totters Lane. The scene is a typical London street, with brick wall/fencing and lamp post with Totters Lane sign. The Doctor and his companion stand outside with K9 ready for adventures. The Tardis opens up to become the inner Tardis walls and can be placed next to the console where the Doctor controls their journey through time. The set includes: Tardis, exterior / interior walls. (LEGO if you don't want to use the frame and "glass" part of my Tardis design that's ok)Interior console ( LEGO can choose if they want the full, console and tilt damage )street/Interior base.K9 (18 parts)1 Dalek red, or gray (25 parts) (assuming Lego can get the license)Minifigs (most have dual printed face, happy and shocked )1 and possibly 2 Doctors.
An older and more recent Doctor, so older and younger fans have a Doctor.For the more recent Doctor, I propose Tennant, or maybe Capaldi, who is the latest incarnation. For the other I propose the 4th Doctor Tom Baker, and possibly Sara Jane as his companion. I am open for LEGO to choose the Doctor/s2 Companions (Rose Tyler if Tennant is chosen, or Clara Oswald if Capaldi is chosen.(Possiblility of 1) Weeping Angel (Face printed on both sides)(Possiblility of 1) Cyberman If LEGO likes the idea, a sound brick for the iconic Tardis sound.Due to the nature of the set fans may buy 2 sets. One to have the Tardis on the street scene, and another to have the Tardis unfolded to become the inner walls placed next to console.Total part count including Minifigs around 530 (less if just the top of the console is chosen)LEGO I will supply you with the Ldd file. If you choose this I am open to you, and fans choosing which Doctor/s. And choosing if you want only certain parts of the design/ Minifigures.Be warned which way you turn, sometimes, it's a choice between becoming a rock and a hard place, as the Weeping Angel may turn you to stone, or the Dalek exterminate you!
Figures have dual sided printed facial expressions.Real photos of Lego, with contrast adjustment in Photoshop, and Laser fire! Not sure look HERETom's scarf works with an existing LEGO part, but with a scarf printed on it. The shade and cloth folds, and waviness details are built into the printed color. The scarf being a part is also removable.BOX ART: I think fans may geek out if the Box was a front view photo, or render of the Iconic LEGO Tardis. The top left window could be the LEGO logo, and below that the white rectangle could have text saying the set number, part count etc. The box doors could open showing photos of the set. I think this would appeal more to Who fans, stand out on store shelves, and make the set more unique and collectible. LEGO did a similar thing with the 4x4 Crawler Exclusive Edition. The set could have a small pamphlet with details on Doctor Who and it's history. Thank you for your support, and consideration.This is not a drill, people. Remember when Lego's crowdsourced set-pitching site nominated Doctor Who to get its own Lego set?
Well, now it's official: The Doctor is coming to Lego this year. N.B: The header image is not the final product, but the Ideas design submitted. Subject to change and all that! Ever since Lego announced that Doctor Who pitches would be accepted on Lego Ideas (formerly known as Lego CUUSOO), the series has seen several cool sets pitched - but only two prominent ideas reached the needed 10,000 community votes to be put forward to Lego for review last year - Doctor Who by Glenbricker and Doctor Who and Companions by Andrew Clarke (which you can see above). In a video released today to announce the next two sets in the Ideas range that has previously featured the likes of the Ghostbusters, the Curiosity rover and a trio of female scientists, the toymaker finally confirmed that alongside a set based on the titular character from WALL-E, Andrew Clarke's Who set would be produced later this year:Lego didn't offer any details on either set, so there's no information on the size of the set, its release date or price, other than the fact they'll be out by the end of 2015.
But in a press release issued by BBC Worldwide, we got to see the briefest teaser confirming that at least the current Doctor, Peter Capaldi, will be included in the set: Those are some pretty fearsome eyebrows, even in lego form! I'm sorry, I need to go lie down for a bit and stop hyperventilating. [Doctor Who TV and Lego Ideas] You're reading Toybox, io9's 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!Welcome to the fan campaign for Lego Doctor Who!NOTE: This is NOT a Nestene plot to take over the world...why would you think that...After this project reaches 10,000 support you will be able to find status updates and additional information here.********I am surprised that Lego didn't take down a license for Doctor Who the moment the License became available (or did they?), but here we are now. Point is Doctor Who fits in every theme Lego has ever produced.
It is like the grand unification theory. City, Castle, Space, Miners, Agents, Underwater, even Chima if you go back to some of the older episodes...well, ok, so The Doctor would look a bit weird in Friends, but even then, he is visiting some strange Alien species...So, please cast your vote to show Lego you want an Official Doctor Who Lego Set.Our Set Proposal:As stated, Doctor Who pairs well with any existing Lego theme. So what we are looking for in a set are the elements that are harder to organize and come by. A few parts that have not been molded in the right colors, and of course a few figures. Just enough content to drop the TARDIS, the TARDIS console, the Doctor, and his Companions into a build for a little flavor, and a few trouble makers to stir the pot.We are suggesting 5 Minifigures, K-9, and 3 Brick Built Daleks for characters. For setting elements we are suggesting the TARDIS external (Police Box) and a TARDIS Console.YOUR ROLE IN THISRemember how in "The Year that Never Was" Martha goes around the world telling everyone about the Doctor...and it is critical to saving everything!
Well, You are Martha in this scenario. Vote for the project of course, and Vote for your favorite characters in our poll (see bellow) but most importantly, Spread the Word!!! The faster this gets to 10,000 the more likely Lego will produce it. This project is a collaboration with Kaminoan.Bottom Left: TARDIS with ALTERNATE Tiles that can be swapped out for a "Bad Wolf" Tardis. Bottom Right: TARDIS Console based on late Matt Smith run and likely early Peter Capaldi) We have displayed above several mock ups of possible Doctor Who minifigs. Which figures end up in the set is ultimately going to be up to Lego and the BBC but we want your feedback.Please go to the Poll (AFTER VOTING HERE! ;)) and give feedback on which Doctors, Companions, and Baddies you would like to see in this set. The current character in the poll are: Rose Tyler / Jack Harkness / Doctor Donna NobleAmy Pond / River Song / Clara Oswald4th Doctor - Tom Baker / 9th Doctor - Christopher Eccleston10th Doctor - David Tennant / 11th Doctor - Matt Smith12th Doctor - Peter CapaldiCyberman / Weeping AngelThe results of this poll will be used by Lego and the BBC to help pick which Characters get included in the final product.
Only five figures will be proposed but if enough people vote in fast enough there could be a business case for as much as seven. Thank you for participating in this campaign!The Accessories, BEYOND THE SCREWDRIVEREach Doctor and Companion throughout the history of Who has had an affectation, a token, a item, that is significant. Some are large, some are small, some are critical and others are insignificant.The characters selected for the set should have some representation of this. The following list provides our suggestions for which items should be included, IF that figure is in the set. (Please forgive the discontinuity of the "table." Cuusoo only allows for the barest of HTML)4th Doctor : Jelly Babies9th Doctor : Vial of Anti-Plastic10th Doctor : Glasses (Represented by alternate face), psychic paper, and a Fighting Hand ;)11th Doctor : Fez12th Doctor : ...Driver's manual for the TARDIS? ;)Rose Tyler : alternate "BAD WOLF" Tiles for the TARDIS (pictured above)Jack Harkness : revolverDoctor Donna Noble : luggage Amy Pond : drawing of the doctorRiver Song : notebook on the doctor (Spoilers!)
Clara Oswald : the LeafAs any true fan of Doctor Who knows, he has two hearts, and the show itself is about a being that is willing to sacrifice himself for the good of everyone. We therefore feel that we must give back as part of this project. If this project gets produced, Kaminoan and I will receive a small percentage of the profits of the product sales. Kaminoan and I hereby pledge 50% of any funds we receive from the production of this project to the American Heart Association.Left: First Matt Smith TARDIS ConsoleUpper Right: Examples of brick built Daleks.Lower Right: K-9We have pictured above two different examples of TARDIS consoles but only one console will be in the set. The two provided examples are to give you a good idea of what a Lego design for these might look like. I assume the BBC Licensing will lean heavily to the most recent design. While you are on Cuusoo, and ideally just created an account, why not also vote for this other project! It is wheel chair and accessibility ramp for minifigs.
