‘Why are you here? I mean – who
are you, exactly?’
An archaeological dig in 1936 unearths relics of another time... And – as the
Doctor, Amy and Rory realise – another place. Another planet. But if Enola
Porter, noted adventuress, has really found evidence of an alien civilisation,
how come she isn’t famous? Why has Rory never heard of her? Added to that, since
Amy’s been travelling with him for a while now, why does she now think the
Doctor is from Mars?
As the ancient spaceship reactivates, the Doctor discovers that nothing and no
one can be trusted. The things that seem most real could actually be literal
fabrications – and very deadly indeed. Who can the Doctor believe when no one is
what they seem? And how can he defeat an enemy who can bend matter itself to
their will? For the Doctor, Amy and Rory – and all of humanity – the buried
secrets of the past are very much a threat to the present...
A thrilling, all-new adventure featuring the Doctor, Amy and Rory, as played
by Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill in the spectacular hit series
from BBC Television.

‘They called it Enamour. It
turned minds, sold merchandise, and swayed elections. And it did its job far too
well...’
In the city-state of Geath, the King lives in a golden hall, and the people want
for nothing. Everyone is happy and everyone is rich. Or so it seems. When the
Doctor, Amy and Rory look beneath the surface, they discover a city of secrets.
In dark corners, strange creatures are stirring. At the heart of the hall, a
great metal dragon oozes gold.
Then the Herald appears, demanding the return of her treasure... And next come
the gunships. The battle for possession of the treasure has begun, and only the
Doctor and his friends can save the people of the city from being destroyed in
the crossfire of an ancient civil war. But will the King surrender his new-found
wealth? Or will he fight to keep it...?
A thrilling, all-new adventure featuring the Doctor, Amy and Rory, as played

“You know what cobwebs mean. Spiders...”
In search of a cure for a sickness that’s so far claimed six billion lives,
scientist Nyssa arrives at an abandoned gene-tech facility on the toxic planet
Helheim. ‘Hellhole’, more like.
Nyssa’s not alone. The TARDIS has also been drawn to the Helheim base – and in
its cobweb-coated corridors, she soon runs into the Doctor, Tegan and Turlough,
her travelling companions of half a century past. But who, or what, has
engineered this strange reunion? The Black Guardian, perhaps?
The answer’s here, in the dark. With the Cractids. In the cobwebs.

Nemesis Cyber Leader & Cyberman
Character Options / Forbidden Planet
Action Figures
RRP: £24.99
Released:
7th July 2010
** This is a Forbidden Planet Exclusive **
The Seventh Doctor and Ace
visit Windsor, England in 1988, where three factions - the Cybermen, a group of
Neo-Nazis and a 17th Century time travelling sorceress named Lady Peinforte -
are each attempting to capture a weapon made of a living metal, Validium,
created as the ultimate defence for Gallifrey. The weapon is now in the form of
a statue of Lady Peinforte and has three components that must be brought
together in order to be activated.
In order to foil an earlier attempt to control it, the Doctor launched the
weapon inside an asteroid, into a 25 year orbit over 300 years ago. The asteroid
now crashes back to Earth near Windsor Castle. The Doctor plays the three rival
groups off against one other until eventually he appears to surrender the statue
to the Cybermen. However, this is just another carefully-laid trap by the Doctor
and the Cybermen warships are totally wiped out when they attempt to control the
weapon.
In this exclusive figure set we present the Cyber Leader and Cyberman each with
a Cybergun from the 1988 story Silver Nemesis.
