Ninth Doctor

The Doctors are landing soon on the Funko Pop! Blitz mobile game

The Thirteenth Doctor, Twelfth Doctor, Eleventh Doctor, Tenth Doctor and Ninth Doctor are landing in the mobile game Funko Pop! Blitz. The TARDIS is scattered across Funko Pop! Blitz’s game boards, and the Doctors need your help to collect it so they can get back to exploring the universe…

Funko Pop! Blitz is a match-3 puzzle game featuring the Funko Pop! versions of lovable characters across multiple iconic franchises. Each week, Funko Pop! Blitz celebrates pop culture with a new collection of digital Funko Pops! These characters all come with their own unique Super move to blast the board and power up, earning rewards. Super moves typically celebrate an iconic moment from the media the character hails from.

With Doctors past and present, you can expect to see Supers involving the ubiquitous sonic screwdriver, nanogene healing, and yes – a mop!

The five Doctors available in the Funko Pop! Blitz Doctor Who event collection are:

Thirteenth Doctor
Twelfth Doctor
Eleventh Doctor With Mop
Tenth Doctor With Hand
Ninth Doctor

The ever-reliable TARDIS will also be making appearances on every game board. The aim of each Funko Pop! Blitz game during the week of March 18 midnight UTC to March 24 midnight UTC will be to drop as many TARDIS tiles as you can to the bottom of the board, so as to help the Doctors explore the universe again. Each TARDIS collected will inch you further along to completion of the Doctor Who event collection, which is important, because you’ll only be able to procure the Eleventh Doctor With Fez & Mop by doing so!

If you find yourself needing to generate more TARDIS tiles, simply equip any of the Doctor Who Funko Pops! to increase the number of times it appears on your board.

Funko Pop! Blitz is available now on the App Store for iPhone and iPad and on Google Play for Android devices.

The Ninth Doctor and Rose join ‘Time Lord Victorious’

Doctor Who Magazine will be contributing to the multi-platform Time Lord Victorious saga with a special three-part comic-strip story beginning with issue number #556, on sale in September.

Doctor Who Magazine 553

Monstrous Beauty stars the Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler, and is written by DWM’s regular comics writer Scott Gray. The artist is John Ross (who recently illustrated the Thirteenth Doctor story Mistress of Chaos), with colour art by James Offredi and lettering by Roger Langridge.

Monstrous Beauty will begin with a double-length chapter, heading a special supplement magazine supplied with Doctor Who Magazine 556. The supplement will also feature articles on the Time Lord Victorious adventures in other media, and serve as a road map for fans who wish to follow the entire storyline.

Scott Gray said,

“I’m really excited to get a chance to do a Ninth Doctor and Rose story. John Ross and I did the comic strip in the 2006 Doctor Who Annual (Mr Nobody) and we had a fantastic time with those characters – there’s a real energy to their relationship. I was sorry they left the mag so soon, and it’s been terrific revisiting them now.”

Scott was happy to drop a few hints about the story:

“The Ninth Doctor and Rose find themselves in a place where no TARDIS is ever supposed to go – the Dark Times, an ancient era forbidden to all Time Lords. They’re soon swept up in a war with one of the greatest enemies of the Doctor’s people: the Great Vampires.

“The Doctor discovers that not all the stories surrounding Time Lord history match up with reality – but some of the dangers are actually worse than the myths. Rose was the last human in The End of the World but in this story she’s the first human – and that turns out to be a very bad thing…”

Scott has been working with producer James Goss to ensure that the story links to the other Time Lord Victorious adventures.

“I’ve had a great time throwing ideas around with James. His brief was: ‘Ninth Doctor, Rose, Vampires!’ Monstrous Beauty can be read as a standalone adventure, but if you look further into the Time Lord Victorious storyline you’ll see how it connects with the other strands.”

You can read the full story in the new issue of Doctor Who Magazine (#552).
