Doctor Who: Monster Invasion (trading cards)

Doctor Who: Monster Invasion is a card game, very much like the Battles in Time cards. There were 90 cards in the first series. They have stats, like Top Trumps. These are: Scariness, Cunning, Strength, Ruthlessness and Power. The initial set of cards features images from the 2005 reboot up to, and including Series 5. There were also 16 cards that could be used with the interactive website to create 3D effects that 'come to life', and other enhanced game features. There are 345 cards to collect.

Errors
The Prisoner Zero card is named 'Face Tendril'. This was what it was referred to by Matt Smith and Karen Gillan before The Eleventh Hour was shown.

Following the initial release set of 90 cards, a nationwide release of 165 cards was boosted by a further release of 180 cards. These were available to purchase independently of the magazine, at high street retailers and newsagents.

In July 2012 it was announced that from issue 32 a third brand-new set of 126 cards were to be added that would be exclusively with the magazine. Furthermore magazine collectors were guaranteed  different cards in every part (i.e. no duplicates) and also that they will collect all 126. Small print on the packs revealed the title would run to at least issue 52.

DWMI 32 included an exclusive special edition Ultra Rare care featuring Rory Williams and Silent.

With Doctor Who Monster Invasion issue 33, subscribers (and readers of Doctor Who Adventures 280), received an exclusive 5/5 card featuring The Silence.

Notable Information

 * Card #189 features River Song's second incarnation, Mels. Her last name is given as "Zucker."
