Oh dear, wrong time!

‘This isn’t London!…Oh wait, yes it is, but it’s 70 million years too early….’

If you’re a Doctor Who fan, you definitely need to pick up the Spin and Fly TARDIS. It’s designed for the 3.75″ figures, and as the Ninth Doctor would say, it’s fantastic! It’s not really bigger on the inside, it’s just a backdrop of the TARDIS interior, but it makes up for it- when you lift it up, it makes de-materialising noises, and when you place it on a flat surface, it makes materialising noises- obviously! The TARDIS light flashes when it’s making noise or still in the air, and stays on for about 3 minutes after the noises stop. Which brings me to a point-it’s really loud! It sounds like a real TARDIS, not a plastic one! Definitely do not give to children in the early morning when it’s switched on. The TARDIS is quite durable, too, and I’ve had mine take a few turbulent flights that ended up in crash landings…

The gimmick of the Spin and Fly TARDIS is that it comes with a clear ‘flight cradle’ that clips into the base, allowing you to hold the cradle while the TARDIS wibbles and wobbles around on top while you zoom it around the living room. Of course, it doesn’t spin by itself, but who cares? It’s already exceeded expectations by this point.

The one in the picture is the Twelfth Doctor’s version with a red interior, but the previous Doctor’s green interior-ed TARDIS is out there too.

So, if you want a TARDIS that is smaller-yet-louder than life, look no further than this one! Now, I’m going to help the Doctor escape that dinosaur!
