Watch out for Fake Toys

For those wishing to buy Doctor Who toys this christmas, ALL officially licensed Doctor Who merchendise will have a TARDIS hologram somewhere on the box. If you buy something from a market, look for this hologram as there have been reports of fake toys ie. Doctor Who car, being sold in markets/car boot sales across the country. DON'T buy counterfeit merchendise as they are usually very cheaply made and contain dangerous toxins.

I've used Doctor Who as an example here but alot of what I have said above would apply for all brands (ie. Ben 10, Power Rangers, etc, etc). Genuine Toys WILL have some sort of Authenticator/Hologram to verify that it is a Genuine product AND relevant health and safety information. So my message to you is just be careful and check what you are buying first, it could be the difference between a happy family christmas and a christmas spent in your local A&E.

Merry Christmas
