The Celestial Toymaker

The Celestial Toymaker is a near omnipotent being that inhabits his own dimension, through which he tests any travellers unfortunate enough to be lured there into playing his games. He was played by Michael Gough in the TV Series and voiced by Cameron Hughes in the BloodLoomis Productions Lego Doctor Who Series.

Character History
The Toymaker is immortal and has been alive for millions of years. Due to his otherwordly origins, he and his world operate on a different level of physics to any preconceived notions. His time in isolation drove him mad, causing him to delight in forcing people to play his games.

Once the Toymaker loses a game, his world is destroyed, yet he is powerful enough to rebuild it. If a contestant loses a game, they are forced to become one of the Toymaker's toys and stay with him in his world. The Toymaker possesses a great deal of power, enough to manipulate anything which exists in his world. He has a bullyish side to him as well, taunting his opponents and using his powers to gain a one-sided advantage.

The Doctor first encountered the Toymaker's world in his first incarnation, but did not stay long so did not play any of the games. The second visit to the Toymaker's world resulted in the Doctor being made invisible and forced to play the Toymaker at the Trilogic Game, a game which the Doctor won, allowing him and his companions to escape.

Later, in his sixth incarnation, the Doctor encountered the Toymaker in Blackpool. The most recent battle between the Doctor and the Toymaker occurred when the Toymaker lured the Doctor's TARDIS into his world once more, forcing his companion Jessica Hampton to play a series of games, before finally challenging the Doctor to a game of Hangman, which the Doctor won.
