A replica TARDIS police box based on the 11th and 12th Doctors' configuration from Steven Moffat's sci-fi series Doctor Who. The Doctor (Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi) sought adventure through time and space with various human companions and outsmarting countless nemeses, including Daleks and the Weeping Angels.
This replica was used in a variety of trade shows and rented out to various non-BBC productions, including The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and is constructed for fast setup and striking as needed. Built primarily from spruce wood and painted "Sydney Blue" to emulate the original production pieces, it features light and sound options that are remote controllable. Its light-up functions include the top-mounted lantern, in addition to various acrylic signages: "Police Box" headers, windows, and the "Pull to Open" door sign with hand-applied acrylic lettering. A speaker allows for the audio playback of key effects, including the iconic TARDIS "Vworp!" materialization and dematerialization, the Cloister Bell catastrophe alarm, and the door lock's "chirp chirp." Light and sound effects are coordinated, depending on pre-programmed remote-controlled instructions. The instruction manual detailing assembly, takedown, and functionality, as well as a radio-control remote and power source, is included. The display exhibits scratches, nicks, grime, scuffs, and wear at the panel connections. Dimensions: 60" x 60" x 122 (152.5 cm x 152.5 cm x 310 cm)
