Product Description
On the planet Malcassario, the Doctor, Martha Jones and Captain Jack Harkness met Professor Yana, trying to help the last survivors of the human race reach the legendary planet Utopia. But Yana held a secret - he wasn't really a human professor at all... but the Master, the Doctor's oldest Time Lord foe, in disguise. Before long the Master regenerated into a new younger body, and prepared his most audacious trap for the Doctor yet... Re-create this and other exciting episodes from the award-winning television show, Doctor Who, with this set of 4 articulated action figures. The essential gift set for any Doctor Who fans!

Fragile!
My little ones received the tardis playset for christmas so I thought I'd get them some more figures to play with and this set seemed good value. The Doctor and Martha are perfectly fine but The Master and Professor Yana are made of a very fragile plastic. They were playing quite nicely with the Yana doll and his head snapped off. Quite a shame as I'd just had to return a defective Doctor doll (who's arm fell off) from the Satan Pit set that I'd ordered at the same time as this set so we're not having much luck. Quite disapointing.

The Master Reborn! In plastic!
A nice idea for a giftset, but I'd save your money if I were you. Unlike the rest of Character Options Doctor Who figures, the Yana and Master figures are very cheap looking. The plastic used for the heads and hands is poor, giving the figures a jaundiced and slightly opaque look. The attention to detail on the Yana/ Master figures is also quite poor.A thin strip of paint is all that represents the fob watch chain, and there's no pocket detail on the figures' waistcoats.There has also clearly been some trouble getting the actors' permission to use their likenesses,as Yana in particular looks more like Patrick Troughton than Derek Jacobi!This wouldn't be such a problem,but packed in with the superior Doctor and Martha figures, the differences are more pronounced.Another niggle would be creating yet another set with the Tenth Doctor, as I'm sure most children and collectors will have at least two Tenth Doctor figures already.There's no sonic or laser screwdrivers included either, which is a disappointment.I do hope this doesn't represent a shift in Characters' production standards - after years of substandard Dapol figures, its been great to have some real care put into the toyline.I'll put this down to being a rush release for the Christmas market, but come on boys - this is the Doctor's nemesis! He deserves better than this!Perhaps a regeneration 2 pack as was done with the Ninth Doctor, or a Paradox Machine playset..?
