General News

Underground Toys is pleased to announce an extensive in-store promotion at Hastings Entertainment for Doctor Who merchandise starting in October and running through the Holidays. This exciting campaign, in association with BBC Worldwide, will feature a 6 x 4 ft display unit which brings together key merchandise from the show alongside other retail activity.  In addition, Hastings will be selling an exclusive Yellow Dalek Action Figure, only available at Hastings in North America. Earlier this year, Doctor Who delivered BBC AMERICA record ratings and reached the top spot on the iTunes TV chart.

To see this great Doctor Who promotion, you can visit your local Hastings store or shop online at www.gohastings.com

Underground Toys are pleased to announce they are making available a limited quantity of the San Diego 11th Doctor & Dalek Scientist sets in the UK Forbidden Planet Stores. The sets will be in store from the 18th August.

Also, for those who didn't make it to San Diego Comic Con, some sets will also be available via www.underground-toys.com (for a limited time only). Again, the stock will be available from the 18th August.

THE ELEVENTH DOCTOR & DALEK SCIENTIST
The Eleventh Doctor saw off not one but two alien threats almost as soon as he crashed to Earth. His new companion, Amy Pond, first met him when she was seven years old, and while he was clad in the raggedy remnants of the Tenth Doctor’s suit. Twelve years and four psychiatrists later, the girl who waited wanted answers! Realising he owed her that much, the Doctor, now clothed in a tweed jacket and a cool new bow tie,  welcomed Amy into a brand new TARDIS, and took off on a series of thrilling adventures around the universe. However the two time travellers are being followed on their journey by a crack which appears wherever they go... and it looks a lot like the one on Amy’s bedroom wall...

In this exclusive set from Underground Toys we present the Eleventh  Doctor in burgundy shirt and braces, and an Orange Dalek Scientist, the Doctor comes with a Sonic Screwdriver accessory.

Many years ago, the Daleks sent out thousands of egg-shaped Progenitors containing the genetic coding of the race, so that new Daleks could be created whenever necessary. One of these Progenitors was found in war-torn England during the Second World War and transported to a Dalek ship. However, because the Daleks that found it had been genetically modified by their creator Davros, using his own DNA, the Progenitor did not acknowledge them as pure Daleks, until the Doctor identified them as such and the Progenitor created a new race of powerful Daleks as a result. Amongst these Daleks were the Orange Scientists.

In this exclusive set from Underground Toys we present the Eleventh Doctor in burgundy shirt and braces, and an Orange Dalek Scientist, the Doctor comes with a Sonic Screwdriver accessory.

In a new deal with Lucas Film, Underground Toys now have the rights to manufacture and distribute a wide range of Star Wars talking plush toys and key chains in the USA.

Already onboard to retail the line are Hot Topic and Toys’R’us.   Hot Topic will feature the plush within their Empire Strikes Back anniversary celebration while Toys’R’us will launch the line this Summer.  In addition, many other retailers plan to carry the products all year round.

This is an exciting territory addition for Underground Toys who previously had the rights in the UK for these products.
