| Dapol Doctor Who Toys Ends |
 It has been announced that
after almost 15 years Dapol's licence from the BBC to
produce Doctor Who merchandise has not been renewed.
Dapol had plans to extend
their range and after their success in raising the awarness
of Doctor Who, as providing royalties to BBC, they were
hoping that their licence would be extended.
A
Dapol spokesman has been reported that the company are
'completely stunned by the BBC's decision'. Being one
of the few remaining toy manufacturers in Great Britain
this is bound to be hard news for them to take in especially
when all work on their planned figures of the First Doctor,
Jamie, Polly, Yeti, UNIT Troops, The Cyber Leader and
a new TARDIS
Console have all had to be stopped.
As to the reason behind
this stunning news nothing has been revealed. What though
is worrying is if a successful brand can be halted overnight
what does this bode for the other successful projects,
like the Big
Finish Productions Doctor Who audio range, which are
currently keeping Doctor Who live.
