Firstly, as a toy, this is quite good. However, in comparison to the previous version (10th Doctor's) it is poor. We don't think that the sound is as good and the big thing is that the indoor light has gone which is a shame really, because it seems like penny pinching. This also means that it doesn't glow from the windows at night. Even my 4 year old thinks this is bad.

So, it's great if it's the kids' first Tardis, and a disappointment if they have the last one.

I've been collecting Dr Who models for a couple of years now. I ordered this to nicely complement my 11th Doctor figure and couldn't wait for it to arrive.

So I opened the box and placed the batteries (not included) into the TARDIS and switched it on at the bottom. Take-off and landing sounds are still the same - no change there then!
What jumped out at me straight away when I opened the door was that the interior light had gone - no more glowing inside when you open the door :-(

Second thing to note is the windows and Police Box signs don't light up anymore either - they're just stickers now which don't look very impressive when the box is switched on in a dark room.

One nice touch that some may find annoying, but I quite like, is that the TARDIS humming sound only switches on when both doors are opened.

Overall, I sat it next to the 9/10th doctors TARDIS and imeadiatly thought "what was the point?" as the original model is ten times better than this one.

Find one of the originals and you won't be disappointed!

mine arrived today! id been waiting in specially for it, wish i haddnt bothered! its tacky, unfinished off, the sound card is nothing compared to the one used in the 9-10th doctors tardis! and the only light on the whole thing is the top lantern! everything else is dark and dingy! the interior looks like cardbord stuck in by a child and the over all quality is poor at best! i would avoid like the plague and buy the older model! save your money!

The 9" toy as it was seen throughout Series 5. Here's my opinion.

Flight Control TARDIS 2010: The Flight Control TARDIS has been painted very well and the detailing is just... well, how can I put it... brilliant! The exterior of the TARDIS has been done extremely well and is the same on all sides (apart from the side opposite the doors, which holds the speakers and the battery compartment). The interior is nearly an exact replica of the actual time ship (obviously smaller inside) and the rest of the interior is actually a sticker to make it look more lifelike.
You can fit 2 action figures inside, but if you're very careful, you can just about squeeze 3 in, depending on their size.
Overall, I think it's fabulous and and I extremely recommend it to children and collectors alike. But before I finish this review, there's one thing that is definitely different to the 9th and 10th Doctors TARDIS, there is no interior light annoyingly. But otherwise, it's great. 9/10.

The trárdis is very good looking and is a must have for any DoctorWhoiac, its soudn and ligt-things work fine and are a good toy, even for a child of 48 years ... :)

I like this toy, but I can't figure which sound is what. I also don't like the sounds for this toy when you open the doors. It might scare little children and would not be in a real Doctor Who Episode. It's a bit loud but great for a 10 Min plytime for kids under 12. I like the way the nib at the top flashes and I think it would be good with out that much sound. But I really like it!

This is lovely, the engine noise only goes off when you lift it up. Fantastic range of Doctor Who products. Son has a brilliant selection of Doctor Who items, which he is keeping nice and tidy.

This is great. Sturdy plastic Tardis. Probably not good for children under 7, though, the doors need to be treated with respect! Fab noises and my son loves it. Although it doesn't light up inside (as I have read, previous ones have had this feature), it's still a great little Item and my boy doesn't know abou them anyhow! He doesn't compare, he just loves Matt Smith and Amy Pond! The 5" figures fit inside too! I Would recommend x

Bought this as an "upgrade" from my old Tardis and quite frankly its not something to save up for. However it is still played by my son and he enjoys it which Im happy about.

A fantastic piece for any Dr Who fan! Great appearance, durability and sound effects. It's proudly on display and delights every time! My own mini tardis!
