- Equipped with motors and joystick controls, the 5.6-foot-tall replica bears signatures from Doctor Who stars Nicholas Briggs, Terry Molloy, Barnaby Edwards, Jon Davey, and Dan Starkey.
- All proceeds from the sale will support the care of Tim Pollard's 12-year-old daughter, with collections moved to secure storage by his father-in-law Stephen Plummer.
