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.

hamleys

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.”

The posters were available from the following stores on the selected dates;

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

About the poster

      Also, did anyone take a picture of what the setup was for the toy section? Did they just have a load of 12th Doctors lined up together? I’m really interested to know what it looked like and how many they had in stock.

    Last time I went to the London one (biggest in the world), there was hardly any Doctor Who merch. It would be a struggle to get anything, so your chances of getting this are very limited.

    I went to Hamleys in Manchester, very welcoming there. I got two posters and two 12th Doctors (one each for a friend) and the goodie bag is brilliant. A4 Dr Who ring binder, Character build 50th Anniversary figure and Deep Breath DVD. They also took my photo as I am in the Guinness book of records. 😀

      I don’t know how long you think his coat is, but the coat of the figure is fine.

    Hi I went to the Hamleys store in Glasgow to pick up the new Peter Capaldi 12th dr who action figure. I was there at 9am today. The only one they didnt have in stock was the Peter Capaldi dr who variant with the red jacket opened showing the red lining ? I checked them all and there was no variants at all !!!

      That was from the Trafford Centre, but do expect the prices to be anything but forgiving when they find their way to Ebay.

      September 20th, 2014 - 2:48pm

      I got my Capaldi figure for £8 at Manchester Trafford Centre. Shame his coat seems a dark purple shade rather than black! No gold dalek from DOTD or green coated 11th Doctor, even though they are on the poster…

    • Nicholas

      September 20th, 2014 - 3:27pm

      Peter’s coat is actually a dark blue, which wouldn’t be too far off a deep purple

    • The Twelfth Doctor

      September 20th, 2014 - 5:46pm

      No. I got there early (about 11) and was allowed a poster early by the lovely members of staff. So, the guy who was first to get it was probably second.

      Price range must differ from store to store, but you cannot argue with the likeness of Capaldi!
