Some of those toys aren't even US franchises... I think it's the Czechoslovak Igráček as the a7 pawn, in front of the UK Dalek. Might have been brought by Ivanka but that would be a very deep reference for a cartoonist who can't correctly color a chessboard.
Dr. Who is now owned by Disney so it’s effectively a US show now
I don't know if this is that internet hyperbole thing but just want to point out that Disney bought the worldwide distribution rights for a couple dozen episodes, not the actual show itself. BBC still owns the show and has the UK distribution rights.
I was under the impression that Disney had significant creative control over the development of the most recent seasons, but I could be wrong. I guess I was just thrown off by the fact that every ad for the latest season I’ve seen has a Disney logo on it, and I assumed it went the way of so many American shows and franchises Disney has engulfed.
