The gray plush embodies the look and feel of the famous canine friend of the Fourth Doctor, offering phrases such as, “Affirmative,” “Affirmative master,” and “Maximum defense mode!”

The feedback online has been great so far so it looks like we made the right decision and he’s sure to be a hit with Doctor Who fans young and old.”
