Re: Show your Dr. Who props!
Wow. That's quite the collection! Very nice.
I’ve recently completed my Second Doctor recorder in the form first seen in “Power of the Daleks”. Also pictured are the Moeck recorder from “Fury from the Deep”, the TARDIS key as seen in “The War Games” and my current close enough “The War Games” sonic.
And in this picture I think I have made a mother Doctor Who prop discovery. Back in June 2013 I successfully identified one of the Fourth Doctor’s Yo-yo as a Yellow Championship 99 Genuine Lumar Yo-yo. To my knowledge this brand has not been previously identified, although if I am mistaken in that feel free to say.
This version of his yo-yo was seen in “Genesis of the Daleks”, “Robots of Death” and “Talons of Weng-Chiang” - and I am sure others but at least clearly in these stories. I found the Lumar while searching for a close enough match for my collection and realized that it’s markings matched perfectly with these three stories. However while I was able find pictures of a real Lumar online back in June it wasn’t until the end of October that I finally found one on eBay which ended my four month long search (four months for the Fourth Doctor!) The one I found has has had it’s color altered a bit with age and needed to be restrung but that was pretty easy, so I won’t complain on either front.
In the three stories listed above the yo-yo is yellow and the text/design is in gold, although they appear black in “Genesis of the Daleks”but this is because the gold reflects light in certain angles or shading giving the appearance that the writing is black on film. You can see this happening in “Talons of Weng-Chiang” when the Doctor’s arm casts a shadow over the yo-yo. In both “Robots of Death” and “Talons of Weng-Chiang” the writing can clearly be seen to be gold.
Of course this is just one of Tom’s yo-yos, he did have at least two others. A light blue one in “Robot” and what appears to be a black one in “Ark in Space”. Though the Ark one could be the light blue one again or some other color, the scene where he uses it is darkly lit so it’s hard to tell.
Also pictured here is:
1) A Cricket Ball
2) Etheric Beam Locator
3) A Jewelers loupe
4) Mooncrest's Fourth Doctor TARDIS Key
5) RB Replicas Fourth Doctor sonic
In this picture you can see screen caps from “Genesis”, “Robots” and “Talons” as well as the real Lumar showing the face details and how they react to light reflection.
