Over a decade ago, BBC offered devoted Whovians the immense Doctor Who: Complete Series 1-7 set, which rather incredibly included a so-called "sonic screwdriver" as a bit of non-disc swag, something that probably made that set an instant collector's item, at least for a certain demographic (the fact that it's still listed on Amazon at close to $500 may be indicative of its allure). This immense set offers what are kinda sorta like Funko-esque figurines as its non- disc swag, but it also offers newly upscaled versions of the first four seasons/series, and new interviews with Russell T. Davies and David Tennant.

Supplements included with each series/season are detailed in the above linked reviews. Additionally, the final disc in this set offers the following new supplement:
Will five Funko-esque "Titan" figurines have the drawing power of a sonic screwdriver? Only time and/or time lords will tell. This set will probably have both pluses and minuses for many Doctor Who fans. For those who haven't invested in each and every series/season aggregated here, this is a relatively budget friendly way to complete a collection, and BBC is to be commended for at least attempting to make the first four series/seasons look a little better, even if the results aren't overly revelatory. On the minus side, there's only one new on disc supplement, and the packaging may drive some people nuts, considering how difficult it can be to either mount or dismount the stacked discs on the spindles in the keepcases. Taken as a whole, though, the positives outweigh the negatives, and the New Who Collector's Set comes Recommended.
