Advanced Graphics Weeping Angel Life Size Cardboard Cutout Standup - BBC's Doctor Who

Let's get something straight right out of the gate. This is NOT a wooden TARDIS, it is NOT a perfect replica of the Doctor Who police box. But the one thing it is, it's wicked cool. It took me about four hours to put it together, if you had someone help you, you could easily shave an hour off that time. Maybe more.This is an adult level, master project of folding cardboard and filling tabs in holes. The instructions are just OK, but they aren't terrible. You will need a few extra items to really make this a stand out piece. First take the push-on black rivets and replace them with bolts, washers and nuts. This will make your life a LOT easier. Second have a roll of gaffer's tape handy, (you can use duct tape in a pinch, but I used black gaffer's tape) and finally you will need a hot melt glue gun and SEVERAL glue rods, I used about six foot long rods putting the TARDIS together.I like to have my seams perfect and the black rivets just don't cut it, also on the long posts, even though the seams are inside, they feel much more stable glued down, than without. Do not put the door handle on the unit, just leave the doors closed and it will work great. You can not open the door like depicted in the photo, but when it's closed, it's damn near a perfect looking TARDIS.The TARDIS, just like the real ones the show use, are HUGE, I'm 6'5" tall, and I've been in front of all the TARDIS the series offers and they are HUGE, this one is no exception. You need EASILY ten to twelve foot high ceiling, the box it self is nearly four feet wide on all sides.The real TARDIS is put together in pieces, as is this one. I think the designers deserve some credit for making this fairly easy to assemble, and at a reasonable price. If you wanted a real TARDIS built for you, it would easily cost anywhere from $800 to $1,500. My only quibble with the cost of this one is, had they offered a plastic alternative, made of the kind of plastic the "Little Tikes" stuff is made of, it could have been perfect. It would cost a helluva more and be a monster to ship, but it would be wicked cool.Bottom line, if you want a full size TARDIS in your house, one that you don't use as a playhouse but just a conversation piece, this is a great item at a great price. I highly recommend it. I was completely satisfied with it. FIVE STARS---Kelvington

I opened mine and was going to give it to my step daughter as a gift for X-mas, but mine seems to be a real working Tardis...I traveled to the future,but came right home after. The future... Well, the future sucks eggs. Lets just say, eat all the steak you can now and maybe move to a state without cows? I probably shouldn't say what's going to happen but let's just say COWMAGHEDON... I didn't stay long enough to find out what happened really, it was more like, "Oh I wonder where we ar.... OMG Everyone RUN!!", which didn't work out well because we were already so full of cow and overweight... Luckily we were only about 50ft from the Tardis and I had ordered a Nerf Maveric gun to paint up all steampunk, but it too was not working as intended and turned out to be a real laser gun (Whats with you lately amazon???). So, anyway, having a gun that flash fries a cow in 1 second flat is awesome, though I regret not being able to eat what we shot and cooked at the same time. I will be eating as much beef as possible from now on and if one of those things so much as says, "Mooo" to me, ZAP, right between the eyes. I'll never trust a cow again...Anyway, I went to the past the next day and yeah, people in the past are major league ***holes, and they smell flipping terrible. Maybe it's because I went to the "wild west", or more to the point I was in PA/USA which is more like the "Wild East", and it was actually the post Revolutionary War era so it wasn't "Wild" at all. Think, "Oh look, corn, buggies and smelly people". So one cool thing, Ben Franklin is super, super awesome! He was so fun to get drunk with (My wife was super POed about this - note, do not take your wife with you when time traveling)! He smelled horrible like everyone else, which had become obvious after 5 minutes that this was a normal and acceptable thing (I swear they must not have had noses). The odor of humans (and one goat that was wearing a dress) made the air in the pub abysmal, but hey, they had beer! They also had something that resembled whiskey and, oh yeah, no cold beer, no ice and the water they wanted to put in the whiskey, well, lets just say that the whiskey was not strong enough to kill whatever was in that so nothing to mix it with except maybe the bartenders fingers that seemed to find their way into every lovely smelling leather mug they served things in. So, back to the smell, apparently bathing is a "new" thing in history. The only real issue with going to the past was that, I had no money and I just got lucky that I spotted Ben and that he was in a good mood and wanted to know where I got my "crazy" clothing (t-shirt and jeans - he loves jeans). So, if you go to the past and expect to buy anything, just know they don't take mastercard, or cash, etc. Might want to take some gold or something to trade with.Almost forgot, no chameleon circuit, and no translation either. Did you know that people from England barely spoke English? You think their accent is bad now, whoah man. I'd ask something like, "Hello sir, can you tell me where X is?", and the reply is something like "Oo oiey McGaaaaarlgl, de skootin eh!". Crazy Gibberish... Oh, and clothes, your best bet is maybe to get some real time period costumes. Do NOT go to the founding of the colonies dressed in normal clothing. Bluejeans really freaked them out and they thought that my family was a troupe of actors or something. Thank goodness for that too. I think any farther back and they might have burned us as witches. I'm not joking. These people are NOT the enlightened and happy people that TV would have you believe that people were like in the past. They were smelly, unhappy and uneducated, and, well, imagine your average "Philadelphia Eagles" fan. Not much has changed I suppose? More trips will confirm later, but needless to say, I felt at home.Oh yeah, the Tardis doesn't travel in space, or anywhere except forward and back in time, so there's that too. More of a Tard really. I'm not making a bad joke there, I was just correcting the acronym. It is larger on the inside, but it's just the control room. There is no pool, no bedrooms, no library and such so don't order this thinking that you're going to live in it, or go to the moon, or fly around in space, etc.So yeah, I kept it. IMO it's totally worth the cost. I'm going to the late 60's next to see what drugs and free love were like! Lets hope for no paradoxes!!

I got this for a corporate event. It was awesome for the event and several people fought over who got to take it home.If you think the price sucks, then you have not priced out building one from lumber. If you have 3-6 months and $600-1500 then go for it. Otherwise, get this. (these are conservative estimates. Some people online spent much more both in time and money. There are a few scaled down versions but those took at least a month by their blog entries)This is much larger and more structural than I thought. I figured it was a box with art. The pillars are 3D. SO are the signs. We cut an additional door in the back so it could be a doorway and moved it around and it held up wonderfully.We used 3 rolls of denim color duck tape (great match to the color and texture of the TARDIS) and part of a roll of black gaffers tape for the interior taping. Two of us tried to put it together. We kept adding people. 6 was perfect. And a 6' ladder to put on the roof. Two of us have a LOT of experience assembling things and every one else was an Ikea guru. Still took a few hours.Cons:The light is LAME. it has a 6 sided object on an 8 sided object. WTF?The curb in front is a trip hazard. We removed it and reinforced the top of the doorway with a 36" aluminum strip from OSH.The instructions do not tell you things like folding the edges of the tabs in before putting through the slot, then bending them back. Make sure everything is lined up perfectly before you start taping. Also. There is NO WAY this can last outside. Or fit through a door, so assemble it where you want it. Diss-assembly and reassembly take MORE tape and true dedication.

I love this shop! Highly recommended! Want something UK related, then this is the place for you 😊

Excellent

Oh, yeah! Hit of Christmas!

Fast delivery looks awesome

Anstatt der für ein Doctor Who Event bestellten Tardis(lebensgross)erhielt ich Harry Potter(lebensgross)?!? Der versprochene Support innerhalb von 48 Stunden blieb aus. Rücksendung des Artikels kostete mich 14,25€. Meine "FREUDE" hält sich in Grenzen!!!!!!! Würde 0 Sterne geben wenn möglich!
