The Tardis playset from Character Options. The Tardis Playset is great for Doctor Who action figures; the 5" figures fit nicely inside the console. This replica toy of the Tardis Console Room needs to be fully assembled using components supplied. The Tardis Playset would not survive the Time Wars and hence may be better suited to slightly older fans or else kept on display. In play mode it features background noises and 13 distinct combinations of light and sound activated by buttons on the console. The Tardis is entered by an authentic police box door leading to the central Time Rotor which goes up and down and lights up in green to the classic sounds of de-materialisation "Vwoorp! Vwooorp!". A later revision to the playset has the console plastic changed from aquamarine to clear plastic and the Doctor's hat stand changed from white to brown. In 2016 Underground Toys re-released the Tenth Doctor Tardis Playset for the US market

What is a Tardis?
TARDIS is an acronym; it stands for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space.
The Tardis was developed by the Time Lords to travel in time and space. It has been the Doctor's mode of travel since the series began in 1963.
Doctor Who's Tardis resembles a London-style police box from the 1950s. Its police box exterior has remained constant but the interior has undergone periodic changes.
Police boxes were commonplace in the UK from the 1930s to the 70s. Housing telephones and sometimes criminal suspects, their blue lights flashed when assistance was required.

Dr Who's Tardis is an obsolete Type 40 TT from his home planet Gallifrey, one of only 305 made.
Dematerialising in one location, the Tardis can cross the time vortex, and rematerialise elsewhere.
The idea for the police box exterior of the Doctor's Tardis spaceship is credited to Anthony Coburn, a staff-writer in the BBC's Script Department.
"Its Bigger on the Inside!"
The Tardis is dimensionally trenscendental.
Its police box exterior and console room interior thus exist in separate dimensions, to the great surprise of new entrants.

Tardis Toys Through the Decades
In the 1950s, long before Doctor Who began, Dinky Toys made a miniature metal police box, Police Hut 42a, to go with their Dinky cars, now highly prized by Tardis collectors Dinky Tardis

For the 25th anniversary of The Doctor Who series in 1988 Dapol released a box set with The Tardis, Console Room, 7th Doctor, Mel and K-9. The Dapol Tardis police box exterior comes apart to form the interior walls of the Console Room. The anniversary set included a base which you could plug the console and console walls into.

In the 1990s Corgi Toys made a metal Tardis to go with its range of die-cast figures which included a Tom Baker in hat figure as the Doctor looking out from the Tardis doors Corgi Tardis.
