With my own convention season over, I can now get back to updating the blog.
Here's a further selection of spin-off annuals for Doctor Who - companions, villains and monsters this time! One or two familiar designs along with original period ones.
Hope you like them. Let me know on the Twitter - @andydrewz - any further suggestions from the classic series - the odder, the better!
A selection (well, three) of toys that may have filled the sacks of eager young cult TV fans in days gone by.

I did a few pics last year of War Machines and Chumblies out in the wild. I've been doing some more and these are they...
A troop of melkur bask in a jungle clearing in the equatorial region of Melkurus.
Wild quarks stalk the volcanic plains of the planet Dominatus.
The alien voord wander through the idyllic bluebell forests of the second continent of Marinus.
Abandoned special weapons Daleks live peacefully at a charity-funded sanctuary in Dorset.
Repurposed Mechonoids have been running Milton Keynes railway station since 2015. The trains still do not run on time...
The ogron breeding programme at Paignton Zoo was started in 1986 and is responsible for releasing over 200 back into the wild.

Remember that book that Honor Blackman published about self-defence back in the 60s?
No?
Well, Dr Who's Carole Ann Ford did one too.
THAT'S why all those weird photos were taken of her being menaced by an alien Voord were taken!
The alien Voord! Not exactly the Daleks are they?
Men in creaky rubber wetsuits with very peculiar helmets and equally weird 'teletubbie' aerials - they fought the first Dr WHO for control of the Conscience of Marinus in story five of the first series.
And then they were gone... except for an appearance in the first Dr WHO annual!
And that weird comic strip in the Doctor Who Magazine where they turned out to be proto-Cybermen.
And they were recently the subject of a figurine in the Doctor Who Figurine Magazine collection thing.
Yes, apart from all that, they were the proverbial one-hit wonder.
So that's why I now present Action VOORD!
I've done four more bits of Dr WHO artwork.
Here they are...
Announcing the new range of My Little Hartnell Monsters...
Aren't they cute?
No?
You have NO heart!
