Colin Baker played the Sixth Doctor from 1984-1986 on Doctor Who. This action figure, which is the Sixth Doctor as he appeared in the 1985 story "Attack of the Cybermen," comes with a Sonic Lance.   Each of the Doctor Who classic wave one figures from Character Options in 2008 includes a different part of the Giant Robot "Build A Figure." This site has pictures of all the Doctor Who action figures from this set and the Giant Robot: http://www.doctorwhotoys.net/classics.htm

Doctor Who: Mel Action Figure Reverse Side


The Sixth and Seventh Doctor's companion Mel (Melanie Bush, played by Bonnie Langford in the 1980s)

An action figure made by Dapol, dated 1987.

Her name is similar to mine (my initials are MEL!) and I liked her adventures with the Doctor. I have only seen three companions from the classic series Dapol figures, Ace, K9 and Mel. They also produced the Third, Fourth and Seventh Doctors (with statues of the First and Second Doctors), The Master, Davros, lots of Daleks, Cybermen, monsters and aliens, Time Lords, a TARDIS, and TARDIS interior set. This site has a list of the Doctor Who Dapol releases: www.figurerealm.com/FiguresListChk.php?SID=742

These are some other Doctor Who Dapol action figures in my collection:

The Seventh Doctor, Ace, and Daleks

The number of Jackie Robinson at the San Francisco Giants baseball stadium, with commemorations for broadcasters Russ Hodges and Lon Simmons, and 1951, the year the New York Giants won the National League pennant.

View from the AT&T Park Press Box

I visited the San Francisco Giants Baseball FanFest last week, where the park was opened for free so that people could see different areas of the park.

This is the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper desk in the press box, where there is a great view of the field. The KNBR radio booth is at home plate while fans walk on the field.
