By John Freeman on February 23, 2022

You’ll have to make your own Myrka, but if you head over to the Character Online web shop now, you can grab yourself an online exclusive – of the Doctor Who Collectors Set: The Warriors of the Deep!

The set includes the Three Command Silurian crew of Ichthar, Tarpok and Scibus as seen in the season twenty-one story of the same name, starring Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor.

The set will retail for £29.99 and can be ordered here. It comes displayed in a special presentation pack with diorama insert and Doctor Who heritage packaging.

These figures will only ever be available this one time only, and offers the perfect opportunity for fans to add to their collections, and Character Options’ Al Dewar, a self-confessed Silurian fan, is absolutely delighted with how they’ve turned out…

What better time for some Eocene-inspired fun, ahead of the return of the Silurians counterparts, the Sea Devils, in Legend of the Sea Devils?

Broadcasting this Spring, the new story will find the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker), Yaz (Mandip Gill) and Dan (John Bishop) in 19th century China, where a small coastal village is under threat – from both the fearsome pirate queen Madame Ching (Crystal Yu) and a monstrous alien force which she unwittingly unleashes.

Will the Doctor, Yaz and Dan emerge from this swashbuckling battle with the Sea Devils to save the planet?
