The figures have whipped up storm with Doctor Who Fans since they were revealed on Thursday 24th September by way of a virtual press conference hosted by Character’s product development director Alasdair Dewar. Missy is otherwise known as The Master; an arch enemy of the Doctor, but favourite with the fans who have been calling for a collector’s piece of her for some time.
When coming face to face with the figures whilst in New York last week Michelle said: ‘I absolutely adore my new figure! I can just imagine thousands of Missy’s taking over the world one very small step at a time’.
Al Dewar added: Working with Michele Gomez has been so much fun; she was one of the best subjects we’ve ever scanned, patiently holding the perfect pose in both positions for a long period of time. We know that many collectors have been waiting to see if Missy would be included within our collection, it’s great for her finally come to fruition.”
