The Master

Series: Doctor Who Classics, 2nd series

Release Date: 2/2010

Comments: Following yesterday’s look at the Ice Warrior, today we turn our attention to the Doctor’s Time Lord nemesis, the Master.  You’ll note that there is no goatee here, as this is the Master’s disfigured form from the episode ‘The Deadly Assassin’.

There are two standout figures from this wave of Doctor Who figures – one of them is this figure of the Master.  His robes feature an incredible level of detail, looking strikingly like the old gauzy robes on the television.  The head sculpt is also excellent, even down the eyes looking in different directions…just like on TV.  This is one of those figures where you feel like someone grabbed into the source media and pulled the figure out of the TV.  Fun trivia knowledge – under the robe is the Master’s normal black suit!  The Sash of Rassilon isn’t an awesome accessory, but the figure is great and among my favorite of modern Doctor Who figures.
