Doctor Who Goodies!

The time has come, the golden age has come to a close. Possibly. Or, it could be renewed; go on to reach even greater heights, even bigger, more adoring audiences.
Of course, we're referring to the fated swap-over of Doctors - the transition from one Doctor's style of, well, doctoring around the universe, to that of another. For, as it was written by the ancient Maya (and Russel T Davies, probably), the old Doctor has already stepped onto the path that has no forks. Now we travel with him, inexorably swept in his wake to that not-so-distant point where the transformation must take place.

But, before that happens (or after, depending on when you're reading this), why not celebrate the last few years?
At FireStar's Amazon outpost (we keep it in-case of attacks from highwaymen), we've stockpiled some of the most memorable characters and Who-ish accessories, all in shrunken plastic form!
Let's have a look, shall we?

First up, it's the Editor!
Who could forget Simon Pegg's chilling turn as frost-faced future news-man, the Editor? Not us, that's for sure. He haunts our dreams. Here, he's been lovingly recreated in plastic so that you can relive his gory demise whenever you choose! For added authenticity, stick him in the freezer first...

Next pick from our overflowing cornucopia of Doctor flavoured treats, here's a Dalek themed pencil tin!
What better stocking filler for neophyte Who fans - you know, the kind who are supposedly so fond of hiding behind sofas. Send your darlings great or small off to school with this Dalek pencil tin. Who knows, it might just impart them with the cold, implacable logic of the squishy-centred, outwardly riveted ones. That's got to be useful in maths, right?
Or, for grown-up children, relieve days of office-based tedium with this fantastical window into a world where anything is possible. And it holds pencils!

Last on our virtual conveyor belt, take out your goatees, if you will, and peruse this artistic offering:
Don't pictures paint a-thousand words?
What more can we accurately convey about this stunning piece? Sure to go well on any Who fan's bedroom wall, this work was conceptualised and painted by renowned experts in quantum possibility matrices.* Stare into it's purplish depths and contemplate the mysteries of deep space: How deep is space? Is time linear? Where does the Doctor get his coats? All these questions and more are up for rumination by inquisitive minds, inspired by this visual exploration of the Doctor's universe.
Gaze upon its beauties, O mortal, and know the fear of eternity!
Either that, or spend some time picturing just how much bigger the inside of the Tardis is than the outside. Whichever you prefer.
