Doctor Who Is Bringing Back the Original 1960s Cybermen

Doctor Who Is Bringing Back the Original 1960s Cybermen
The new era of Doctor Who has had many episodes featuring the Cybermen, but these Cybermen were not the original monsters from the classic series. Just parallel world versions. However the original 1960s Cybermen are finally coming back. The BBC has officially announced that the Mondasian Cybermen will appear in episodes 11 and 12 of Peter Capaldi’s final season of Doctor Who. Which likely means one heck of an adventure that will end with his regeneration. It’s about time they came back. They are far creepier than the current “Iron Man” Cybermen in New era Who.

Doctor Who: Interesting Alternative Cyberman Designs

Doctor Who Interesting Alternative Cyberman Designs
The Cybermen in New Who are okay, but I think their design is a bit boring. I much prefer the old Earthshock Cybermen from Peter Davison’s era. I’m still hoping that one day the modern Cybermen will get a decent makeover. Hopefully something like these designs that I recently came across.

The first design is a bit plain much like modern Cybermen, but I really like the extra black details, as if the human parts beneath are in some kind of wet suit. If you combine that with the darker design below, I think you have a winner. Something that will have kids hiding under their beds when a Cyberman episode comes on. Those eyes!

Adorable Clay Doctor Who Figures

These clay Doctor Who figures from Etsy seller eattoast are fairly adorable and they offer all of your favorite characters, mostly villains, from the classic series straight up through new Who. The little boy in the gas mask is even here. “Are you my mummy?”

They stand about 4″ tall and I can only imagine how awesome they would look in a group on your desk or shelf. They are about $20-30 and well worth it for such unique little figures. We picked some of our favorites below.

Doctor Who Series 8 Concept Art Is Dark And Creepy

Even though Doctor Who is technically a kid’s show,(I know. I don’t buy it either) they often try to push the envelope when dealing with scary imagery and terrifying concepts. It can be a hard balancing act, scaring viewers, while not scaring them away. Series 8 had mummies, cyborg zombies and other scary stuff. Just realize that what we saw on screen could have been so much more terrifying.

This concept art from Millennium FX comes from the Radio Times and it shows us just how much scarier season 8 could have been. If kids do indeed hide behind the sofa while watching Doctor Who, some of this stuff may have had them hiding behind locked doors.
