Oh no!  Mini-Daleks and mini-Cybermen are using Temporal Shielding to damage time itself.  Now the mini-Doctor must stop them by firing small projectiles at their plastic shields.  Underground Toys will bring this new wave of micro-toys to the states in May.  Perhaps these temporal shielding bubbles factor into a seventh season episode?  Each set includes one spring loaded blaster weapon, one micro-figure, and one Temporal Shield.

The various packs include:
CYBERMAN VS ELEVENTH DOCTOR
CYBERMAN VS DALEK DRONE
CYBERMAN VS DALEK SCIENTIST
DALEK VS RIVER SONG
DALEK VS RORY WILLIAMS
DALEK VS CYBERLEADER

These are available for pre-order here.
