Doctor Who (Citadel)
From Lost Minis Wiki
Contents |
Doctor Who figures were released in 1986. In the UK, they were produced by Citadel as a licensed product from FASA. The UK release had slotta-tabs and hexagonal bases. The Citadel & FASA brands had equal billing on the packaging. The same figures, but with solid bases, were produced in North America by FASA who were credited on their own without Citadel. The internal packaging for North America had "manufactured by RAFM". See Doctor Who (RAFM) for the North American release. More complete coverage of this range and the many variants of the UNIT Trooper models can be found on the Collecting Citadel Miniatures site.[1]
For the Davros and Dalek models there was no difference between the two releases: they had solid bases. The Citadel range contained 4 extra models, indicated below as [a], and the FASA range contained 3 extra Temporal Marauders not found in the UK range (but which were released with slotta bases in a Judge Dredd "JD3 Perps" blister [4]). Citadel later expanded on the series by releasing one of their earliest plastic sets - PBS2 Daleks & Cybermen.
