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

    I think I prefer the first head sculpt of the 12th Doctor. It just looks a little but more like Capaldi to me.

    Looks like it was a great event, totally not jealous 😆 (joke).
    From the pictures Capaldi doesn’t look too good, he looks like a gangly teenager and he seems to have a bit of a blank face which I don’t really like with figures (I prefer them to have a bit of personality). I also think the figure would stand out a bit more in burgundy shirt rather than all black.
    Looks a lot of fantastic stuff was given out in that goody bag and poster, just wish it was like Toys R’ us or Argos that did this event 🙁 Hope people enjoyed themselves anyway!

      I suppose many were like yes. Woo. But I would if I would’ve gone but I am grateful for the fact that many sent in pics – but still he does look a bit fed up with himself in the packaging. I hope they release the red lining version. Suppose I could customise or buy a spare 11th or 12th Doctor regenerated. I want to buy a few of this figure. Purple paint – Black – dark blue. Variations of his costume. Ah glad to see finally Character finally paint the 11th doctors sonic. Missing the green at the end. But phew finally.

    The pics at the top are mine, could someone tell me if the legs on their ones are OK. Mine are kind of bent, makes him look bandy.
    Hamleys have told me in an email that they are extending the promotion so if anyone missed out they still have a chance.

      I think Hamleys will have the exclusive on this figure for a few more days.
