Playmobil Collector's Club blogger Emma J created these amazing steampunk Doctor Who products. The steampunk TARDIS (the sace ship/time machine used by the Doctor) is all gears and wood and metal, while the steampunk Dalek (the Doctor's greatest enemy on the show) is a steam-powered, gear-infused killing machine.
These steampunk Doctor Who items are exceptionally well designed and look exactly like their original counterparts infused with an excellently rendered industrial aesthetic. The steampunk-inspired TARDIS and Dalek would fit quite well in the brown, wood paneled control room used by the fourth Doctor in the 70s and 80s. These fan-created pieces are a great tribute to the longest running science fiction show on television and showcase and great deal of artistic creativity and skill.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- Fan-designed Products
- There is an opportunity to tap into consumers’ creativity by encouraging them to design and share their own fandom-themed products.
- Mixing Genres
- There is an opportunity to create new and unique products by blending elements from different genres or categories.
Sectors Adopting This
- Fan Merchandise
- This industry could further encourage its customers to design and share their own fan-inspired products.
- Home Decor
- This industry could create steampunk-inspired decor items like furniture, lighting, or wall art.
- Costume Design
