Limited edition numbered Doctor Who collector’s posters up for grabs at Hamleys Stores across the UK
September 2014 will see a very special Doctor Who event take place at five Hamleys Toy Shops in locations around the UK, when a series of uniquely numbered exclusive posters will be available for fans to get their hands on.
The posters are the first and only collector’s posters ever created by the producers of the official Doctor Who figures, Character Options. On each poster the entire collection of 3 ¾ inch figures they have released to date are shown. Only 250 of the posters have been produced for the five Hamleys stores (London Regent Street, Glasgow, Cardiff, Dublin and Manchester) and each is uniquely numbered from 1-250 for authenticity.
The poster has been created to celebrate the launch of the latest series of Doctor Who figures, which have been produced to commemorate the new TV series and the brand new Twelfth Doctor played by Peter Capaldi. With fans always eager to get their hands on any unique Doctor Who memorabilia, they are bound to be popular.
To be eligible fans must purchase an item from Hamleys’ Doctor Who collection. The posters will be available as a free gift with that purchase but only while stocks last. There is no minimum spend, but as the gift is so unique it is restricted to one per customer.
Grant Yuill, Marketing Manager of Hamleys commented; “Our free limited edition Doctor Who poster day is a very exciting event for our shops. Doctor Who has so many fans that like to collect the figures and other memorabilia but now with the chance of owning one of these very exclusive posters we expect there to be a huge demand. What’s more we have an added bonus of 25 goodie bags for fans that come dressed in Doctor Who costume. These will be distributed free of charge on a first come first served basis.”

· London Regent Street – 20th September 2014 from 9:30am

alexanderop
September 19th, 2014 - 8:29pmI’m pretty happy about this, even though It means the masses of this site probably won’t get one themselves until next week (I would hope so anyway). It means we’ll at least get to see some in hand images of the figure itself and maybe a couple reviews by tomorrow night.
Cammythechangeling

ahunter8056
September 19th, 2014 - 12:13amThey’re the rare variants from Wave 1. The “chase” figures which at the time of release sold for at least£30 on Ebay usually.

September 18th, 2014 - 8:04pmIf anyone goes (or anyone from Hamleys?) that could get us a 12th Doctor and poster we would be most grateful –
we spend half our lives promoting this stuff would be nice to get one
FEoD
September 20th, 2014 - 6:32pmI have a spare poster booboo, (purchased all of wave 3, except Amy because there weren’t any on display in the morning, then during a break from Daleking I noticed they’d put stock out, which is why I ended up with two). No idea of the number as I haven’t opened the tube, but it’s yours if you want it…
booboo
September 20th, 2014 - 6:49pmthat’s good, send me an email to [email protected]
Jack
September 18th, 2014 - 7:58pmNo doubt these posters will end up on ebay for crazy money 🙁
alexanderop
September 18th, 2014 - 8:09pmI think the 12th Doctors will sell for more than the posters when they pop up Saturday night haha.
PheebsegirlFA
September 18th, 2014 - 6:51pmWhich ones closest to Blackpool for me I was thinking Manchester?
Mrdoctorwhomad
September 18th, 2014 - 8:13pmI’d say Manchester as well. It’s definatley closer than Cardiff or London 🙂
PheebsegirlFA
September 18th, 2014 - 6:40pmAnyone going to Manchester?
doctor who crazy ross
September 18th, 2014 - 6:26pmI remember the 9th/10th doctor ‘The story so far’ poster that was free with dwa
Doctor 19
September 18th, 2014 - 6:20pmWhat are the bottom range
booboo
September 18th, 2014 - 7:44pmhide set and the playset figures mostly
only thing on here new is the Gold Dalek which we know about
StetsonDoctor
September 18th, 2014 - 7:52pmCorrect me if I’m wrong, but what is the figure in the bottom right of the very bottom box? I can’t for the live of me work it out…. ❓
booboo
September 18th, 2014 - 8:00pmDalek form the Dalek ship i think
StetsonDoctor
September 18th, 2014 - 8:01pmAh, thank you. I feel so stupid now 😀
booboo
September 18th, 2014 - 8:08pmnot really i had to look hard at a few of them
TheWhovianVortex
September 18th, 2014 - 8:01pmI think its dalek sec?
matt9982
September 18th, 2014 - 8:09pmWhat about the figure in-between 10 and Amy? Perhaps its green coated 11? 🙂
booboo
September 18th, 2014 - 8:12pmcould be just didn’t look that green
matt9982
September 18th, 2014 - 8:16pmYeah, that’s what I thought but it couldn’t be another new figure already could it? And the gold Dalek was there so I think it must be.
The Twelfth Doctor
September 18th, 2014 - 6:16pmBooboo, if you were to make a choice out of either the 12th Doctor in costume or the poster, which one would you get? I really think I should leave early, buy 12 and forget about the poster…
The Twelfth Doctor
September 18th, 2014 - 7:49pmWhat do you think guys?
booboo
September 18th, 2014 - 7:50pmbut you get the poster if you buy something Doctor Who
The Twelfth Doctor
September 18th, 2014 - 8:07pmAt Glasgow they don’t start giving the posters way until 12, but by then all the twelfth doctors might be sold out.
booboo
September 18th, 2014 - 8:08pmpick one up and wander around for 3 hours
The Twelfth Doctor
September 18th, 2014 - 8:11pmDo you think 12 will be popular before the posters are given away?
booboo
September 18th, 2014 - 8:14pmi would think so, also depends on just how many they have
alexanderop
September 18th, 2014 - 8:13pm12th Doctor definitely, I don’t particularly mind about getting a poster.
booboo
September 18th, 2014 - 8:15pmyou will always be able to buy the 12th Doctor some other time – but not the poster
the main shipment cant be far away
The Twelfth Doctor
September 18th, 2014 - 8:32pmThanks guys. So basically, I should go when they start giving away the posters and not get my hopes up, but hopefully I’ll be surprised at the sight of the twelfth doctor? Hehe 🙂
FEoD
September 19th, 2014 - 7:08pmSorry, I think the “giving away the posters starting at 12:00 in Glasgow” thing is my fault. Transport complications have prevented the Dalek being there any earlier and they obviously the regional manager wants to tie the two things in…
The Twelfth Doctor
September 20th, 2014 - 9:40amAh, don’t worry about it. Atleast it means I didn’t need to leave at half 8 this morning lol
AlexanderOP
September 18th, 2014 - 6:10pmI wonder if the “huge stock shipment” will ring true for how many figures Hamleys will have available for sale on the day. If theres a chance I could go I would like to think I would be able to get one if not the poster.
mick
September 18th, 2014 - 6:04pmand if you live in Lincolnshire what you ment to do??
Mrdoctorwhomad
September 18th, 2014 - 8:17pmMake a ridiculously long journey? 😀
The same applies to me, I’m up at the tip-top of Scotland, and I’m not trekking to Glasgow 🙂
booboo
September 18th, 2014 - 8:19pmwe are also miles away, but would have gone to Cardiff but its just not possible Saturday
Danny
September 18th, 2014 - 6:01pmDon’t like the poster much
The Silent Silent
September 18th, 2014 - 5:48pmHow much will the figures cost ???
Drwhofan130
September 18th, 2014 - 5:50pmhamleys shop by me sells 3.75″ figures of £12.99 each
DOCTOR WHO ONE
September 18th, 2014 - 6:01pm£6.99.
Jamie
September 18th, 2014 - 6:36pmHamleys in Cardiff charged about 10 or 11 quid for the 3.75 figures if I remember right…..
Drwhofan130
September 18th, 2014 - 10:24pmYep Jamie was right in Cardiff store £10-12 per figure 😛
Anonymous

The Twelfth Doctor
September 18th, 2014 - 5:22pmHoping to get this at the Glasgow store on Saturday 🙂
The Twelfth Doctor
September 18th, 2014 - 5:28pmBooboo, how many people would you expect to be at the Glasgow event on Saturday? Definitely want 12 and the poster, but not sure how early to be there.
booboo
September 18th, 2014 - 5:44pmno idea at all
TheWarDoctor
September 18th, 2014 - 5:29pmYeah me too as I live in edinburgh… May not even be going tbh with you depends on if family drive me :/ (only whovian in family *sobs*)
The12thDoctor17
September 18th, 2014 - 5:31pmIm going I’m near the store! What about you twelfth doctor?
The Twelfth Doctor
September 18th, 2014 - 5:51pmI live about 30 minutes away from Glasgow.
TheWarDoctor
September 18th, 2014 - 5:18pmFound a picture of the poster and stuff you get BooBoo, you get a 50th micro figure and a doctor who folder and a Deep Breath DVD. Posters nice 🙂 https://www.facebook.com/HamleysGlasgow/photos/a.181693565195791.39599.143746435657171/822796381085503/?type=1&relevant_count=1
Might not be going :/ i live in edinburgh but im determined to get my family to drive me there haha
Trenzalore
September 18th, 2014 - 5:16pmThough this figure will soon be everywhere I personally don’t like the feeling of other people getting it early, personally I feel it a bit unfair especially with how few Hamley’s shops there are (1 and half hours to nearest one for me).
With a lot of merchandise lately it feels like you have to rush to get things as you don’t know how rare it will be, I mean it basically says that in the description.
Dalekparadigm2
September 18th, 2014 - 5:00pmOr Argos?
Danny
September 18th, 2014 - 4:58pmThat’s cool! But if hamley’s are having it why can’t FP?
matt9982
September 18th, 2014 - 6:01pmProbably so Hamleys can sell it over priced like most of their products as fans will want to get it first
