New Doctor Who Figures Revealed

Character Options have revealed a new line of action figures, toys and re-releases as part of their Spring range that will be on display at London Toy Fair on the 24th January.

The figures featured were revealed last year but there are some new images to go along with them.

Character Options is proud to unveil a range of new Doctor Who figures and accessories for 2017. The new collection will be available from mid spring and is to be seen for the first time at London Toy Fair on Tuesday 24th January 2017.

Heading up the range is a number of articulated figures that will be perfect for collectors. Set in the classic 5.5 inch scaling each perfectly replicates some of the favourite characters, past and present, from the show.

The Tenth Doctor in Tuxedo, is packed in collectors packaging and not only comes with a figure and a Sonic Screwdriver but for fans is one of the most requested alternate outfits; perfect to recreate scenes from “Rise of Cybermen” and “Voyage of the Damned!”

Added to this is the favoured Tenth Doctor’s Sonic with lights and sounds. For those that did not collect it first time round now’s the time to add to your collection.

Fans of the Tenth Doctor will also be keen to get their hands on The Ninth and Tenth Doctor’s TARDIS Playset. With its motorised time rotor and pulsating lights this is the ultimate playset and has an illuminated console with six control buttons, removable floor panels and flip up console panel.

Another Figure in the series is the Twelfth Doctor, as played by Peter Capaldi, in his Ninth Season hoodie and checked trousers outfit. This item also includes a new head sculpt and his brand new Sonic Screwdriver just in time for Season Ten!

For serious collectors needing every variant, there is also the Twelfth Doctor in his Ninth Season Hoodie and Black Jumper outfit, a 5.5 inch figure not to be missed.

Finally, if you are looking for a Cyberman with a difference then make sure you stretch yourself for the new Cyberman 7-inch Stretch toy! Watch with wonder as the Doctors arch enemy is stretched many times his size only to return back to his original shape and size once he is let loose.

As of yet there are no images of the stretchy Cyberman but there is sure to be some from London Toy Fair next week. Currently the 10th Doctor in Tuxedo is the only figure available to pre-order from Forbidden Planet.

New 5.5" Doctor Who Collector Series Figures

Underground Toys USA surprised us all with a flurry of announcements of new and upcoming Doctor Who figures in the 5.5" Collector Series.

First up is the 10th Doctor in his tuxedo from a selection Series 2 and 3 episodes. This is a figure that fans have wanted for years, so it's great to see it being released. It's worth noting that this figure uses The End of Time head, something that's been long overdue on 10th Doctor figures. It also features bicep articulation, something else seldom featured on 10th Doctor figures.

The 12th Doctor from The Girl Who Died is next up, featuring a new head sculpt and hoody and t-shirt combo. The figure also includes the new Sonic Screwdriver first seen at the end of the series.

FPI have confirmed that they will be receiving the 10th Doctor sometime in December and I think we can safely assume that the 12th Doctor will also become available.

The 10th Doctor's TARDIS Playset is also getting a re-release in America where it was not widely available, so it's a great opportunity for US based fans to get their hands on the best Doctor Who playset ever made. 

In other news, the 13 Doctors Set is now listed on Toys R Us' website for £99. No word on home delivery as of yet but there as been rumours that FPI will also have some sets available.

Doctor Who Action Figure Review: The Third Doctor Set - B&M Bargains Exclusive!

I take a look at the new Third Doctor set exclusive to B&M Bargains, featuring the Third Doctor from Invasion of the Dinosaurs, Jo Grant from The Time Monster and the Master!

13 Doctors Action Figure Set Revealed at SDCC 2016

Word had been floating around that something 'big' was coming from Underground Toys and yesterday they didn't disappoint as they revealed a whopping great set of 13 new Doctor repaints in the much loved 5.5" Collector Series scale.

The set appears to include the following:

- 1st Doctor from The Web Planet (although it does seem to have trousers from his later stories)
- 2nd Doctor from The Two Doctors
- 3rd Doctor from The Time Monster (actually it's The Three Doctors because of the bow tie)
- 4th Doctor from Logopolis (more accurate scarf pattern and darker colours)
- 5th Doctor from The Awakening (new version of the season 21 trousers and dirty trainers)
- 6th Doctor from Big Finish covers
- 7th Doctor from Ghost Light (greener trousers, scarf and handkerchief)
- 8th Doctor from The Night of the Doctor (dirty and battle damaged)
- War Doctor from The Day of the Doctor (new colours based on nothing in particular)
- 9th Doctor from The Parting of the Ways (purple/blue jumper actually from Aliens of London)
- 10th Doctor from The Shakespeare Code (slightly different colours)
- 11th Doctor from The Beast Below (slightly different colours)
- 12th Doctor from Deep Breath (actually from Time Heist with a dark blue shirt)

No news on when or where it will be available or how much it will cost. More info as it comes!

Doctor Who Series 9 Missy - Forbidden Planet International Exclusive

FPI have listed a new Missy variant, this time from the opening episodes of Series 9.

The outfit is now a more vibrant purple, with a different colour shirt, a different broach, and black pencil line down the skirt. She comes with her umbrella and her little gizmo (Missy's Device).

FPI have also listed the black variant of Missy, which is exactly the same as the Character Online exclusive. With this in mind, I would imagine that we won't be seeing any new exclusives on Character's site. With both Missy's still in stock it on Character's site and now the re-release and repaint from FPI, it doesn't look great for the 5.5" line.

You can order the new variant here.
