Character Building Clear Plastic Display Brix
Character Building Clear Plastic Display Brix
Display Brix are a new way of displaying your Character Building figures.
They are clear plastic boxes which can be stacked on top of each other.
These will replace the blind bags (but you will still not be able to see the figure inside). They should retail for £1.99 and will spread across all ranges.
We have no further information at present.

December 3rd, 2013 - 9:56pmSo much to that character building clara we was gonna get this year.
booboo
December 3rd, 2013 - 9:57pmstill think most of these are holding images
did Clara arrive OK?
100000BC
December 3rd, 2013 - 9:57pmTo tell you the truth I was expecting the 2013 TARDIS control room with 7b Doctor, Clara, Vastra, Strax and Jenny.
100000BC
December 3rd, 2013 - 9:59pmAlong with some classics: Companions, TARDISes, monsters… Along with the new series: New Cybermen, metallic Daleks, Dalek Prime Minister…
CONNORTHEDOCTOR
December 3rd, 2013 - 9:59pmYes perfect condition! I said thankyou on ask a question not sure if you saw it but in case you didn’t thankyou so much for it! It’s great it really is and I love the new head sculpt they used for it as I couldn’t tell they were a new one by pics so it was a nice surprise. Thankyou so much for it I really appreciate it!
booboo
December 3rd, 2013 - 10:00pmgood, the new sculpt is so much better and a really good likeness
CONNORTHEDOCTOR
December 3rd, 2013 - 10:03pmYes I agree, don’t know why they didn’t use it for the actual figure because its must better. Do you know if they used a different head sculpt for the doctor?
booboo
December 3rd, 2013 - 10:05pmits the same, although we have seen pictures of this Clara in the Standard release bought in toys r us recently
CONNORTHEDOCTOR
December 3rd, 2013 - 10:07pmVery lucky, I may go to ebay to buy a rare cyberman and a dalek sek, I don’t think a cyberman will be that much since they’re quite commen I hear.
booboo
December 3rd, 2013 - 10:08pmabout £20 now
CONNORTHEDOCTOR
December 3rd, 2013 - 10:13pmStill a bit pricey considering there only £7 but I suppose it will be worth it
MadManWithABox
December 3rd, 2013 - 9:21pm4 “new” figures. slightly dissapointed
booboo
December 3rd, 2013 - 9:24pmsuspect this is only what the can show right now as a promo to show the new brix, some of those figures people already have by the bucket load.
MadManWithABox
December 3rd, 2013 - 9:32pmah fair enough
Adam Sumnall (The Bigges
December 3rd, 2013 - 9:39pmI know the doctors are new but what others are new
booboo
December 3rd, 2013 - 9:45pmJudoon and Sontaran have never been released although they were seen nearly 2 years ago now
100000BC
December 3rd, 2013 - 9:47pm11th Doctor

Silent was exclusive in a 5-pack
booboo
December 3rd, 2013 - 9:50pmstill not going to bring the house down as a wave
DavidH
December 3rd, 2013 - 11:04pmRe: 100000BC
The 9th Doctor was already released, it was in the 50th Anniversary Blind Bags along with the 10th Doctor
But other than that you’re absolutely right 🙂
100000BC
December 4th, 2013 - 3:42pmI thought the jumper looked paler than on the leaflet I have. Wasn’t sure though.
TheExtremeBlueTARDIS
December 3rd, 2013 - 8:53pmNew and old (rarer) figures! Yay! 😀
BRick
November 27th, 2013 - 8:37pmHave any of the Display Brix (Dr Who, Sports Stars etc) been seen for sale yet?
booboo
November 27th, 2013 - 8:38pmno they probably wont be out until well into next year now
oscar denman
November 19th, 2013 - 6:45pmi think its stupid, what if you want to army build gold daleks ( wont be able to feel for them in the packet!)
100000BC
November 17th, 2013 - 5:00pmIf they re-released S1 and S2 they could make small changes:
S1
Doctor: Fez
Amy: The Time of Angels
Daleks: Metallic (AotD)
Cyberman: 2013
Screaming Angel: Regenerating
Smiler: Happy/Frown
Silurian: Warrior with mask
RARES STAY THE SAME
S2
Doctor: No jacket
Amy: The Angels Take Manhattan
Rory: The Impossible Astronaut
Dalek: Metallic (AotD)
Cyberleader: Non-Cybus
Silent: Open mouth
Vampire: Different hair or mouth closed
Roman: Orange cape
RARES STAY THE SAME
Dominic Kane
December 3rd, 2013 - 8:38pmWhat about river song?
100000BC
December 3rd, 2013 - 9:35pmShe’s a rare – You could have Time of Angels River though.
DoctorArkham
November 17th, 2013 - 12:03pmThis series NEEDS:
Common:
The Eleventh Doctor with Fez
Whisperman
Asylum Dalek (in chains)
Uncommon:
Clara Oswald (Hide)
Madame Vastra
Jenny Flint
Strax
Ice Warrior
Rare:
The Eighth Doctor (The Night of the Doctor)
Doctor Simeon
The War Doctor (John Hurt)
The Driver
November 17th, 2013 - 11:20amNow there’s now way of telling which figure you’re going to get ❗
Alex The Geek
November 17th, 2013 - 8:31amI hope this is to go with a big relaunch foor Doctor Who Character Building. Widely avaliable (unlike series 3 or the 50th set) with lots of characters everyone wants such as Clara, Vastr, Jenny, Strax and an Ice Warrior.
BRick
November 17th, 2013 - 9:13amYes. I hope this puts some momentum back into the CB range, but I am braced for the range being both a release of old stock (Series 3), unreleased showcased figures (helmetless Sontaran and Judoon) and maybe some easier to produce new figures (Strax and Vastra).
Ultimately what will really excite is new molds for Clara, Ice Warrior, Zygon, War Doctor, Rose etc that have been/ will be the stand out images of the year.
Continued…
BRick
November 17th, 2013 - 9:14amFinally, I am braced for the trade off between a useful Display Case and losing feeling for a figure – which has becoming a key element of the fun of collecting and an essential part of deciding to buy yet another… Sontaran/Judoon/Ood/Dalek etc.
Anonymous
November 17th, 2013 - 7:20amWe need an Eighth Doctor from the night of the Doctor minsode and a John Hurt aswell
The Day of The Doctors
November 17th, 2013 - 8:06amYes that would be great
Radburn
November 16th, 2013 - 9:23pmHopefully not a re-hash of already released figures!
Still to come:
Black Dalek Sec
Sontaran (No Helmet)
Judoon (No Helmet)
11th. Doctor Fez
BRick
November 16th, 2013 - 9:55pmWell, they are all hinted at in the picture on another website
Radburn
November 17th, 2013 - 7:08amYes, seen the pictures – So here’s hoping?
I’m more concerned about having endless repeats: I do hope the final images(s) for the product have a completely new range.
(ie) The New Series 4 restart NOT re-hash…
Anonymous
November 17th, 2013 - 10:54amDalek Sec has already come out, he was in an Argos set.
100000BC
November 17th, 2013 - 2:30pmI think that either that picture is just a ‘mock up’ or they are re releasing the S3/50th figures (I hope they are as I have no 50th figures and not many S3s) as well as the new series 4.

Kroton
November 16th, 2013 - 7:49pmSo now we can’t even feel the figures.
whotoys
November 16th, 2013 - 6:54pmCan you take the brick a part
booboo
November 16th, 2013 - 6:55pmif you mean take the figure out then yes
jonathan
November 16th, 2013 - 6:22pmGreat idea, will make displaying them so much easier
agent1320
November 16th, 2013 - 5:33pmThis isnt about the bags but in TK max today i saw two dr who cb sets at half price

daff69
November 16th, 2013 - 5:31pmI like these more, finally a nice way to display the figures, all mine are stood in front of my TV but they keep getting knocked about because of our cats also FEZ!! AWESOME!! They should have the accessory as a Mop though not a sonic screwdriver
Matt Smithy
November 16th, 2013 - 5:08pmVery clever character. They’re displaying this as if its a cool way to display them now when really it’s clear the only reason they’ve changed it is so you can’t feel the packets anymore. Most people are saying they will start getting them now. I’m going to stop.
I Ended the Time War
November 16th, 2013 - 5:22pmYou make it sound very dramatic
Anonymous
November 16th, 2013 - 5:26pmis it a real figure?
Matt Smithy
November 16th, 2013 - 8:56pmIt IS very dramatic 😀
100000BC
November 16th, 2013 - 4:44pmFrom the other pics on doctorwhotoys.net it looks like you can see the figure from the see through bit on top. Also couldn’t you just open the display brix in the shop?
100000BC
November 16th, 2013 - 4:45pmAlso where was the info about being unable to see the figure from?
booboo
November 16th, 2013 - 4:48pmMr fusion from character
Trenzalore
November 16th, 2013 - 4:47pmProbably got an alarm if you take it off that alerts the armed response team 😆 only joking… I hope…
100000BC
November 16th, 2013 - 4:49pmI’m sure I can see the fez through the top of the box with the insert in on doctorwho.toys.net
booboo
November 16th, 2013 - 4:49pmthey will probably be wrapped or something
50TrustmeimtheDoctor50
November 16th, 2013 - 4:49pmYou cant see from the top, it has the CB Logo on top.
100000BC
November 16th, 2013 - 4:51pmOh and I was so hoping it was gonna be better – it’s only made them harder to collect!
booboo
November 16th, 2013 - 4:52pmtrue, but i thing the display box is a great idea
100000BC
November 16th, 2013 - 4:58pmYes I know. I’ll still collect them, but unless there is a tiny flaw in the card insert I may have to buy less.
100000BC
November 16th, 2013 - 4:59pmBelieve me, I’ll have the card inserts under a microscope just to find the tiniest hole!
100000BC
November 16th, 2013 - 5:07pmDon’t know about you, but if I could go to the shop, safe in the knowledge that I could pick up, say, five Daleks, two Doctors, two Claras and a rare Doctor, then I would do that rather than picking up five figures I had no idea of the identity of. I would be much more likely to get more figures if I had more freedom in which ones I chose.
The Master
November 16th, 2013 - 5:40pmWhat you see at the top of the box is the CB logo.
Kroton
November 16th, 2013 - 8:19pmCharacter would make more if we could see the figures. More people would buy them and more money made.
daff69
November 17th, 2013 - 6:49pmNo you cant, its obstructed with the Character Building logo
Trenzalore
November 16th, 2013 - 4:40pmHmmm… still deciding if I like them of not..
It’s basically like the old one except you get a box with it this time. And you still can’t see them but this time you can’t even feel them. Wonder why they changed it to like this.
Hopefully there won’t be any super rares…
Trenzalore
November 16th, 2013 - 4:40pmAlthough I suppose it will be easier to display.
booboo
November 16th, 2013 - 4:41pmyes a lot easier, wonder if they can be lit up with lite brix
Trenzalore
November 16th, 2013 - 4:43pmThat would be cool. Definitely get a lot more interest then.
KORSAIR
November 16th, 2013 - 4:45pmYup 🙂
agent1320
November 16th, 2013 - 5:36pmbut then again if your being really picky, you could say that they are the same price and they come with a box – so therefore it is a plus rather than a negative.
BRick
November 16th, 2013 - 4:36pmIs the fez-wearing 11th Doctor an official image?
New CB Doctor Who! It’s about time.
Much prefer the display brix to the blind bag approach.
booboo
November 16th, 2013 - 4:37pmyes but these are for illustration only, anything shown could change by the time they get to retail
Handbot10
November 16th, 2013 - 4:35pmFEZ!
KORSAIR
November 16th, 2013 - 4:35pmSo these are sold with a figure already inside them?
booboo
November 16th, 2013 - 4:36pmyes for £1.99, there is a card insert inside the box so you cannot see the figure
KORSAIR
November 16th, 2013 - 4:37pmNice idea that, I’ll def be getting some of these if they are easily obtainable that is.
Dalekwho
November 16th, 2013 - 4:23pmcan you still get your guy out?
booboo
November 16th, 2013 - 4:33pmyes
Doctorgeorgebaker
November 16th, 2013 - 4:00pmThx for putting it up booboo
booboo
November 16th, 2013 - 4:02pmsupposed to be trade info were told but its an other sites and all forums so what the heck
Luke smith
November 16th, 2013 - 3:38pmAny idea when the new sets will be out?
booboo
November 16th, 2013 - 4:07pmno idea, sometime next year i would think
Dorium Maldovar
November 16th, 2013 - 3:32pmCool that they’re still only £1.99 🙂 . But I wish the figure could be seen inside before buying, as I hate getting doubles!!!
76 Toters Lane
November 16th, 2013 - 3:11pmDoes this mean that the stands will no longer be included?
Dorium Maldovar
November 16th, 2013 - 3:34pmI guess, but now you get the blue stand thing in the picture.
booboo
November 16th, 2013 - 4:00pmthe blue base is a stand
matt9982
November 16th, 2013 - 3:10pmCool, might start getting these now 🙂
