Sometimes Doctor Who merchandise zooms past the Toybox, and in the show's 50th year there is certainly a lot of merchandise about. However the detail on this one is incredible - whereas a lesser one might skimp on a few individual stripes, Lovarzi has made sure they’ve created an exact facsimile. I think it's a great addition to the DWAS ToyBox.

We have heard from The Little Theatre Cinema in Bath who tells us

"Peter Cushing stars as the eccentric Time Lord in Flemyng’s second Who adventure. A befuddled bobby (Cribbins) stumbles into the Tardis and discovers the Doctor, his granddaughter Susan (Tovey) and his niece Louise (Curzon).

The DWAS attended the preview of Asylum of the Daleks last night, with the new episode revealing a redesigned title sequence with updated logo. The episode has a running time of 50 minutes. After the episode, a Q&A session took place hosted by BBC Radio 5 Live presenter Richard Bacon, with Steven Moffat, Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, Arthur Darvill and Caroline Skinner.

With the fast approaching release of the next edition of CT, the Toybox also looks back at the Matt Smith era so far with a range of toys and products from most recent times.

WANTED: BRITAIN’S WORST DANCERS

Are you a disaster on the dance floor?

Or do you know someone who is a lost cause
when it comes to busting a move?

Princess Productions is looking for groups of the country’s
unlikeliest dancers to take part in a new Sky 1 series
where a superstar dancer will try to teach Brits to dance.

NO DANCE EXPERIENCE NECESSARY.

Well the latest edition of Richard Bignell's 'Nothing at the end of the Lane' is nothing short of superb. Grab it with two hands before copies sell out last!! This is the type of magazine you want DWM to be, but know in reality would be hard to sustain. Richard's sheer devotion to find out that little bit more on our behalf just shines through on every page. So what makes this issue fantastic?

Initially called the Australasian Doctor Who Fan Club, this, the national club, is also the oldest and largest Doctor Who club in Australia, formed in 1976. By 1979, with the visit of Tom Baker to promote the series for the ABC, Doctor Who fandom was increasingly separate from SUSFA and other university based clubs around the country.

The latest edition of CT is a tribute to the wonderful Elisabeth Sladen. To tie-in with this the Toybox has the pleasure of revealing 4 rare items from its collection.

Enjoy. These are rare!

The Toybox opens for the 9th Doctor and for a year of a Space Pig and a Gelth!
