On Tuesday the 16th of June 2026, Master Replicas and BBC Studios announced a major departure from their traditional multi-era expansions: the First Doctor Limited Edition Set. This landmark release marks the official debut of the Doctor Focus series—a highly specialized line of micro-sets designed to deep-dive into individual incarnations of the Time Lord, mapping out their specific companions, iconic storylines, and greatest historical foes.
Abandoning the randomized booster pack format, this collection arrives as a complete, self-contained 15-card special collector's pack. Much like the Retroduction launch, every single box is physically guaranteed to contain the full master checklist, entirely removing the element of the blind chase.
For long-time fans and archive completionists, this set represents a massive historical milestone. For the absolute first time in the 20-year history of the Battles in Time franchise, William Hartnell's original TARDIS crew and early serial monsters have been adapted into the trading card game template:
Iconic Companions: Dedicated character cards for Susan Foreman, Ian Chesterton, and Barbara Wright.
Deep-Cut Classic Monsters: First-ever card appearances for memorable early adversaries like the deceptive Koquillion (from The Rescue) and the subverted Monoids (from The Ark).
To honor the television production values of the 1960s, the design team implemented a beautiful, specialized printing method unique to this release:
Monochrome Foil Aesthetics: Every card in the 15-card registry features authentic, original black-and-white imagery seamlessly integrated into a striking, dual-toned white and silver foil card frame.
Worldwide Print Cap: Production was strictly limited to just 1,000 packs worldwide.
Retail Value & Exclusivity: Priced at £24.99, Master Replicas explicitly stated upon launch that these premium box sets are completely exclusive to MasterReplicas.com and will never be distributed to general retail newsagents or hobby storefronts.
