Tardis Playset

One of the biggest stars of the British science fiction TV series: Doctor Who, is not the Doctor, or even any his female assistants-it's theTardis.  The Tardis is time travel device, disguised as a police call box, that the Doctor uses each episode to take him to his destinations and encounters with aliens, threats and adventures.

Did you know that the Tardis is actually sentient, is a female and it chose the Doctor-not the other way around?  That would make an interesting love story.

The Tardis Playset from Character Options Ltd./Underground Toys is a massive playset measuring over 40cm tall (nearly 16 inches) and is packed with fun.

Easily assembled following the enclosed instructions, the multi-color Tardis is a multi-level toy replica of its TV namesake.

Constructed of pre-colored, heavy plastic, the playset snaps together in short order and before you know it you're playing with it using either the Doctor Who action figures or Character building Micro-figures (the playset is scaled to accommodate both!)

The Tardis Playset (like the TV show Tardis) consists of the best of all the previous versions.  A hodgepodge of parts from past Doctor Who Tardis, the current Tardis is a mechanized menagerie of mismatched mechanisms that somehow function as one unit.

Its curved, six-sided, yellow walls enclose a two-tier amalgamation of TV screens, platforms, stairs, central tower, various modern and archaic doodads, control panels and a modem yellow leather swivel seat. 

The raised platform allows the Doctor to view all the working parts of the Tardis and examine his surroundings in a full 360 degrees.

Various steps and platforms lead to the other parts of cavernous Tardis.  The entire assembly is a colorful conundrum of cannibalized components that cater to the every crackpot chronos craving of the Doctor. 

As an extra added bonus an 11th Doctor Who action figure is included and as an extra, extra bonus a 11th Doctor Micro-Figure is also included! Both come with Sonic Screwdrivers!

The playset box features views, from all angles, of the playset and on the front of the box both bonus figures are showcased in a special plastic viewing panel. 
The playset is the culmination of every Doctor Who fan's dream with its spot-on accuracy and perfect match for its larger namesake. 

You'll spend hours looking over its panels, instruments, various quirky equipment and cool configuration. Suitable for five and over.
