After the announcement earlier this year that LEGO Doctor Who would finally become a reality, we have our first proper glimpse at the new set.

A teaser video gives us a quick glimpse at the furrowed plastic brow of the current Doctor, played in the long-running sci-fi series by Peter Capaldi.

Well, it doesn’t offer much – but we’d be lying if we said we weren’t hugely excited at the prospect of building a TARDIS out of LEGO.

The notion of a LEGO Doctor Who set came about from fan Andrew Clark, who submitted the idea and design concepts through the LEGO Ideas website – an official portal which sees projects given the possibility of becoming a reality if they receive 10,000 votes from the user community.

It is unknown how much of Clark’s initial concepts will feature in the finished sets, but his designs included a variety of classic Doctors (including David Tennant and Tom Baker), iconic villains (Daleks, Cybermen, Weeping Angels), TARDIS interiors, and robot dog K-9.

Speaking on the announcement of the new LEGO project, Lego Ideas spokesperson Emma Owen said: “After receiving over 10,000 votes from the online community and having gone through rigorous toy testing from our expert panel, these awesome sets are on track to be on shelves later this year. The final set designs, pricing and availability are being worked out as we speak, so watch this space for the final details!”
