The Tenth Doctor and Eighth Doctor action figures, coming soon

The Tenth Doctor and Eighth Doctor action figures, coming soon

Character Options has announced their next batch of Doctor Who products, with four new sets going on sale in August 2022.

These action figures are available from B&M in the UK in August 2022.

Each new addition to this line forms part of the 5.5” figure range and features new decoration as well as multiple points of articulation.

Here’s what to look out for, with details behind each of them:


The Tenth Doctor Set


Doctor Who The Tenth Doctor Collector Figure Set

In this set, there are three all-new variants of the Tenth Doctor. The first figure depicted is the Tenth Doctor in his slightly brighter blue two-piece suit, pale blue shirt and burgundy tie from THE WEDDING OF SARAH JANE SMITH parts one and two. The second figure is based on this same story but sees the Doctor wearing his iconic long duster style overcoat. The final figure of the Tenth Doctor is inspired by the comic book series THE TENTH DOCTOR ADVENTURES. This figure has a particularly ‘ragged’ look, with dirtied blue shirt, tie worn askew, and lower forearms exposed.


The Eighth Doctor Set


Doctor Who The Eighth Doctor Collector Figure Set Group

Fans first encountered the Eighth Doctor back in 1989 after a failed mission to transport the remains of the Master back to Gallifrey. In this three-figure set, he is depicted in all his screen seen outfits from his adventures but with updated decoration.

The first figure is inspired by THE TV MOVIE, with the Eighth Doctor, in an updated version of the costume worn after he regenerated. The second figure depicts the Doctor in his dark blue leather pea coat and jeans from his audio adventures. The decoration has been revised and, for the first time, this figure also has the brown satchel. The final figure in this set is taken from THE NIGHT OF THE DOCTOR, the minisode where he sported a worn green overcoat, ruffled tie, bronze waistcoat, and US Army Cavalry boots. This outfit corresponds with his overall weary appearance during the Time War.

 


History of the Daleks 9 – ‘Planet of the Daleks’


Doctor Who History of the Daleks Planet of the Daleks set

This duo of Dalek figures set is based on the Third Doctor’s battle with his greatest nemesis, on the planet Spiridon. The first Dalek figure from this set is the Supreme Dalek from this story. This was a redressed ‘movie’ style prop but with some unconventional changes to its overall appearance. Nevertheless, finished in a gold and black colour scheme, and towering over the BBC props it was visually stunning and has remained a fan-favourite despite its limited screen-time. The second figure is the ‘Invisible Dalek’ from the story and is fully representative of a transparent Dalek!


History of the Daleks 10 – ‘Death to the Daleks’


Death to the Daleks

The second History of the Daleks Set features two Daleks from the Third Doctor’s final encounter on-screen with these foes. The TARDIS suffers a complete energy drain and crash lands on the planet Exxilon and, for this story, a visually impressive, but sadly never seen again, silver and matt black livery was chosen to revive the ‘60s feel’ of the props. The first Dalek figure in the set is the ‘unofficial’ leader from this story, and sports orange-tinted dome lights, as well as having the special ‘machine gun’ style weapon, whereas Dalek figure two has clear dome lights and the standard exterminator gun.

Al Dewar Creative Director commented: “I think and hope the fans and collectors will really like these new sets. We have really spent time updating the look of the figures to make them different. The Eighth Doctor set, especially the TV Movie and NIGHT OF THE DOCTOR figures are a real delight and have a much more sophisticated look, befitting a modern action figure. I think they are the best yet. The Tenth Doctor sets have a very different and fresh feel and come with two never released variants. The Dalek sets not only feature new packaging, but we have finally brought to the fans the Dalek Supreme and a fully transparent Dalek from Planet of the Daleks, and the Death to the Daleks set is also very close to my heart!”

These action figures are available from B&M in the UK from August 2022.

Coming soon, the Twelfth Doctor and Davros, plus Ace and Dalek action figures!

Coming soon, the Twelfth Doctor and Davros, plus Ace and Dalek action figures!

Character Options has announced their next batch of Doctor Who products, with two new sets going on sale in November 2020.

The Witch’s Familiar Set

Doctor Who Character Options

This action figure set is inspired by the Twelfth Doctor story The Witch’s Familiar, first broadcast in September 2015.

On Skaro the Twelfth Doctor confronts a dying Davros who is using living Daleks as life-support. Can the Doctor intercept Davros’ evil plan before it is too late?

The set comprises of the Twelfth Doctor and Davros figures and recognises the face-to-face moment when Davros and the Doctor lock horns.


The Coal Hill School Set

Doctor Who Character Options

This action figure set is inspired by the Seventh Doctor story Remembrance of the Daleks, first broadcast in October 1988.

The TARDIS arrives in London in 1963, where the Doctor and Ace discover that two rival factions of Daleks – one loyal to the Dalek Emperor and one to the Dalek Supreme – are seeking the Hand of Omega, a powerful Time Lord device that the first Doctor hid there during an earlier sojourn on Earth.

The Daleks are focusing their search around Coal Hill School – the school that the Doctor’s grand-daughter Susan attended – while a military unit led by Group Captain Gilmore is attempting to resist their incursions.

The figures in this set feature an Imperial Dalek and Ace as well as accessories like Ace’s backpack and an RPG launcher.

Al Dewar, Character Options’ Creative Director, said.

“This year has seen a cascade of new sets for collectors and fans and these latest two sets are favourites of mine because they represent unique moments in Doctor Who that many fans including myself remember… wonderful stuff!’


These action figures are available from B&M in the UK from late November 2020, and from The Official North America Doctor Who Store, Amazon and the BBC Shop in the US.

The range includes a new Judoon Captain figure from the episode Fugitive of the Judoon, celebrating the return of this fan-favourite monster. The Judoon, an alien known for its lack of finesse, thuggish tactics and resemblance to a rhino, is depicted in this new figure as the leader of the Judoon platoon and comes complete with a new pistol, bio-reader and translator accessories.

The Reconnaissance Dalek

Burgeoning the enemy ranks, a new and slightly special Dalek will be available. The infamous Reconnaissance Dalek seen in Resolution is an elite and highly aggressive variety of the Dalek species. This new action figure is presented in its rusty steel ‘junkyard chic’ home-made armour and comes with a Mutant Dalek accessory.

The Sonic Screwdriver

Doctor Who wave 1 figures by character options

Both the Thirteenth and Twelfth Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver will also be joining the collection. The Thirteenth Doctor’s electronic screwdriver from Character Options is the perfect replica of this Doctor’s essential and most-trusted devise; fully lighting up when activated and featuring brand new diagnostic sound FX.

The Twelfth Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver toy replicates that which debuted in the episode Hell Bent. This Sonic features static, pulsate & chase light modes and four sound FX.

The TARDIS

Doctor Who wave 1 figures by character options

To round off this new range is the Thirteenth Doctor’s Electronic TARDIS with light and sound FX. When the TARDIS reconfigured itself for the Thirteenth Doctor, it gained a striking new weathered exterior in blue/green glaze, silver steel rimmed windows and brand-new phone door sign. Once you’ve stashed your action figure of the Thirteenth Doctor inside, pick the new toy TARDIS up to hear it take off and see the lights flash. Place it down again and the landing sound is played. Both doors are openable and spring loaded for hasty departures!

These action figures are available in several retailers, and for online order from Amazon and the Character Options website.
