Dalek Mr. Potato Head

Mr. Potato Head is a classic, iconic toy. "Doctor Who" is a classic, iconic TV series. Combine the two and you get this, a build-your-own Dalek kit with a plastic potato for a base.

Playskool's Doctor Who: Dalek Mr. Potato Head is available through the BBC Shop for $23.98.

Funko Pop! Doctors

No matter which Doctor is your companion's favorite (we love the David Tennant's Tenth, shown here with his own severed hand), Funko has you covered -- the company makes its popular Pop! vinyl figures for each of the twelve.

You can find the figures at the BBC Shop for $10.98, and likely anywhere else Funko Pop! vinyls are sold.

Deluxe Blue Dalek Talking Plush

Extermination has never been so plush and cuddly! This 15-inch plushie speaks two different phrases when you squeeze him: "Exterminate! Exterminate!" and "You would make a good Dalek."

You can buy the Deluxe Blue Dalek Talking Plush (also available in red) at the BBC Shop for $63.98, though you may be able to find it much cheaper on Amazon.

'Doctor Who' Monopoly

Rather than the traditional Atlantic City street names, the properties in this Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Collectors Edition Monopoly are named after iconic "Doctor Who" episodes.

Its tokens, too, have a Whovian flair: the sonic screwdriver, the Seventh Doctor's umbrella, the Second Doctor's recorder, the Fifth Doctor's celery, the Eleventh Doctor's bow tie and the Fourth Doctor's scarf.

You can find this game, along with the Monopoly: "Doctor Who" Villains Edition, at GameStop for $19.97.

Sonic screwdriver pizza cutter

In the series, The Doctor's sonic screwdriver has many functions: It empowers The Doctor to control or disable machines, provide geolocation, burn things and screw screws. One thing it doesn't do, though, is cut pizza...until now.

This pizza cutter, modeled after the Eleventh Doctor's version, is available on ThinkGeek for $10.

The Fourth Doctor's scarf

The Fourth Doctor is almost synonymous with ridiculously long multicolored scarves. With this 12-foot worsted weight yarn scarf from ThinkGeek, all the Time Lords on your gift list can match Tom Baker's classic '70s style.

You can find the Fourth Doctor's scarf at ThinkGeek for $50.

'Doctor Who' coloring book

Like bowties, glasses and fezzes, adult coloring books are cool. This 96-page book (with 45 pages to color) features many of the series' iconic Doctors, scary (and cheesy) aliens and more.
