Doctor Who 5.5″ 8th Doctor Action Figure

“I love humans. Always seeing patterns in things that aren’t there.”

The Eighth Doctor was an effortlessly charming, romantic figure. He was unguarded about his background and equally candid about what the future held for people he came into contact with.

Includes..

  • Sonic Screwdriver Accessory
  • Karn Chalice Accessory (Cup O’ Karn)
  • Cass’s Bandolier Accessory (removable)

It seems ironic that so much about this open Doctor remains a closed book…His first adventure took place in San Francisco at the turn of the Millennium with Dr Grace Holloway and Chang Lee in an epic battle with the Master.

Much later, after many adventures with many companions, the 8th Doctors fate is finally sealed during the Time War, as he attempts to rescue a pilot, Cass, whose ship was crashing into the planet Karn.

When Cass realized that the Doctor was a Time Lord and her enemy, she refused his help and allowed the ship crash.

    Will this be in the war doctor’s packaging or the new collector’s series packaging?

    I prey this is 5inch and part of the collector series! Looks beautifully detailed! This is the sort of figure I wanted to see in the collector series. These are the sort of characters (missy, 8th) i would pay the £20 price tag for with no question! More like this please Character! Its shaping up to be a great figure line!

      This one will probably 14.99 as its not a online character exclusive I think

    This is sure to be a fast seller, especially if at 5″ so I’ll be ordering it as soon as it’s available.

    We’re getting a nice set up of all the Day of the Doctor figures (+ the night of the Doctor prequel)

    Eleventh Doctor in his purple coat
    The Curator with Painting
    War Doctor
    8th Doctor

    All we need now is a Zygon and possibly an updated 10th Dr. Osgood etc are bound to turn up at some point with appearing in the new series.
    I doubt we’d get the Moment in human form though due to Billie Piper not wanting any more figures etc. Unless she’s got over that now. It was quite a few years ago.

    OMG I’m ECSTATIC!!! However I hope the head is removable and the war doctor spare can be put in it’s place. The hair doesn’t look quite right to me. However, if it isn’t I will still be buying it as I have wanted one for ages and was on the brink of making a custom. I would say this IS 5.5 inch as it has the upper arm 360 twist articulation. So Exited!!!!!

      Same here! Ever since I got the war doctor figure with the spare head I wanted a night of the doctor eighth doctor and now it is coming! You can tell it’s 5 inch because it doesn’t look like a sad dog!

      Hahaha that’s the best description for the 3.75″ figures I’ve ever heard!!! Oh wow. This figure gets better every time I look at it.

    Is it 5″ or 3.75″ why doesn’t it clearly state the scale ?!

      October 10th, 2015 - 10:28am

      no idea but its clearly been solicited as an individual figure

      if it is 5″ i still thing we will see a 3.75″ version, there has been a 3.75″ Missy developed i know for sure

    • Aster

      October 10th, 2015 - 10:33am

      Well I hope it is 5″ 🙂 Was the picture leaked or something or will further details follow today ?

    • booboo

      October 10th, 2015 - 10:36am

      Whona have it and they would have been sent it by Underground Toys so no leak

      Its been solicited (offered for sale), i don’t think a 3.75″ would happen individually this way

      WE do Know toys r us were expecting an 8th Doctor but not what scale, this looks 5″ to me but there may be 3.75″ version we just don’t know

    • Darren

      October 10th, 2015 - 11:15am

      Daft question booboo but you mean toys r us in the UK are expecting a 8th Doctor figure?

    • booboo

      October 10th, 2015 - 11:16am

      yes, but scale wasn’t mentioned, in any event its bound to be somewhere
