Miscellaneous Monsters @ Peterborough (1)


Hi all, and thanks for bearing with me over the last week. 
Not really up for typing much so it's another photo-heavy post again - the first of two batches of images of miscellaneous monsters. This lot all hail from the classic era.
First up, we have one of the original design of Ice Warrior, as seen in the Troughton and Pertwee eras.


Quite often these are given red plastic eye coverings, but this one has green. Which is odd, as we can see from the two Peladon stories that they ought to be red. I know that one of the costumes on display at the Blackpool exhibition had green lenses, however. I'm afraid I'm not prepared to sit through The Monster of Peladon just to check...
I much prefer this version to the 2010's version, which is a little over-engineered in my opinion.


He may have come back in 2024 as a stupid big CGI dog, but the original Sutekh is always going to be superior...


He's accompanied by his servant, whose hobbies include bringing Sutekh's gift of death to all humanity...


There's a button you can press that makes Sutekh's eyes light up green, should you wish to zap anyone you dislike.
Surprisingly, the only classic Sontaran present is one from The Two Doctors.


It's surprising in that there's only one classic iteration on display - and that it should be this particular version, which has never been terribly popular.
I've heard that a Quark and Yeti may be added later in the year, but for now the rest of the aliens - other than a Voc Robot - are from the JNT era, beginning with his first story, The Leisure Hive.


A generic Argolin, Pangol wearing the helmet of Thuron (or is it actually the Fourth Doctor under there?) and a Foamasi.


From Mawdryn Undead we get one of the Kastron mutants - to give them the name they're given in the novelisation...


He is flanked by a Vanir, from Terminus...


And a Vervoid, from Terror of the Vervoids (aka Trial of a Time Lord (9 - 12))...


Finally for now, that Voc from The Robots of Death.


Next batch will be a miscellaneous mix of masks and models...
