Doctor Who: Brand New Ice Warrior Picture

Doctor Who: New Ice Warrior Picture

From www.sfx.co.uk

Here’s your first good look at the new Ice Warrior design. It’ll make its debut in the third episode of Doctor Who series 7b, written by Mark Gatiss and directed by Douglas Mackinnon. Very faithful, isn’t it? Is he wearing old-fashioned 3D glasses in anticipation of November’s anniversary special, or is that just a trick of the light?

Producer Caro Skinner discusses the new series of Doctor Who, from Ice Warriors to Cybermen and all points inbetween, in the next issue of SFX, #233 – on sale Wednesday 6 March with a Doctor Who cover.

    What about the other Ice warriors which I can remember slightly different to this one, I beleive this was the leader, are we going to see his underlings, if so then I will then congratulate BBC on doing a good job.

    I’m liking the new look for them. I can imagine quite clearly what they’ll be like in the episodes. 🙂

    Just thought of something, where are its sonic blasters? Other than that the design is pretty good!

      On its right arm there is a device that looks like the blaster.

      Yeah, I think they’re going to do a “Cyberman” and the gun pops out of their wrist or something. That’d be cool.

    They look great, but I hope this does NOT mean the return of The Flood. That would ruin it.

      Just cos the Ice-Warriors were mentioned in the Waters of Mars and the Flood have tides with the Ice Warriors doesn’t necessarily mean that they’ll be coming back. I personally think if they did, that would ruin a little bit of their mystery. I think 1 Story is enough for them.

    I have been wondering. is that the ice warriors real body or is just like armer. Because the mouth bit is like normal skin but the rest of it is rock hard. And the eyes cant be red glass.

      I think it’s armour, but not armer

      What you see is merely battle armour. The ice warrior itself is underneath the armour. Think of it like a knight.

      If your asking if the 10th Doctor said where all extinct in ‘The Waters of Mars’, then no, he didn’t say that, and they couldn’t be extinct anyway, as their classic series appearances take place chronologically after the ends of that particular 10th Doctor adventure.

      They were frozen in ice at mars….

      The 10th Doctor story is hardly about the ice warriors, he only references them, he says that there were people that might have frozen whatever the flood was, and that they used there knowledge and wisdom to do so.

      I prefer them with three fingers, because I saw the figure before the episode and thought it had lego hands.

    Heads a bit too small, and some of the scales are a bit too chunky looking but tis so nice that they haven’t ruined them in the redesign.

      just noticed though the hands!!! the original ice warriors don’t have hands like that but still it resembles an ice warrior

      March 6th, 2013 - 1:04pm

      Yeah although the old hands did look very fake. I personally am happy with this new design

  • Dalek Smith

    March 5th, 2013 - 6:54pm

    hooray! Steven moffat hasn’t ruined the ice warriors like he ruined the new daleks. My only worry is that they’ll completely ruin the voices

      I agree that Moffat didn’t total destroy the proud worriers of ice, but the new design didn’t impress me. The new shel is very blocky and just doesn’t look as good as the original, which had hair and a interesting texture.

      It’s just looked like another cheep alien and why did they mess up there hands!!! Sure they looked a bit cheesy, but instead of taking time to design a really cool had they just took the easy way.

      Well I just they aren’t as nearly as bad as the silurians, by the way I’m still waiting for a apology for that!

      Oh and the new 2010 Daleks are absolutely desisting!! I mean who would design a Dalek off the movie Daleks … AND MAKE THEM WORSE!!!!!

      Hate the new daleks, they look like multicoloured rainbow power rangers

    • John Smith

      March 10th, 2013 - 9:34am

      Yeah I hate the new Daleks too. I like the new Ice Warriors design better than the classic ones. I hated the hair that came out from the gaps in their joints. That was a terrible idea. As for the slightly new armor, I think that it isn’t too chunky or too futuristic looking. They have to adapt to keep up with modern day audiences.
