Character Building Series 3 Super Rare’s
The figures include only 500 of the Eleventh Doctor in tuxedo, 250 each of Rory in his nurse’s uniform and River Song in a catsuit, and just 100 each of Amy with tally marks and a space-suited Tenth Doctor. Each also comes with a golden ticket of authenticity.
Mark Hunt, Brand Manager for Character, commented:
The first and second series of super rare micro-figures were such a hit that we just had to add some super rare figures to the new collection. There is a huge demand for these figures which are findable… but it is a challenge!

Posted by: Kiebo03 April 10th, 2013
There is a Doctor in spacesuit for £87 at the moment but its on a bid. If you were to bid for it how much would you pay? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Character-Building-Doctor-Who-Super-Rare-Series-3-Tenth-Doctor-in-Space-Suit-/261195516332?pt=UK_ToysGames_ActionFigures_ActionFigures_JN&hash=item3cd07749ac
Posted by: mr March 21st, 2013
I have seen helmetless Sontarans and Black Daleks in photos, these aren’t the normal ones, and I checked the Super-rare figures, but they are not there. How do you but them?
Posted by: dramy rivory February 10th, 2013
the 10th doctor in space suite went for over £300. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251222030273?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2648
Posted by: booboo February 10th, 2013
much more than i was expecting
Posted by: Anonymous February 23rd, 2013
what the heck 300!? i would pay for 5 at the most
Posted by: the living shadow March 31st, 2013
If i have £300 spare I would buy 150 packets because then you’d probably get a super rare, if not 2
Posted by: dramy rivory February 4th, 2013

What’s the best way to post a pic for you?
Posted by: booboo February 2nd, 2013

Posted by: Phillip Phillips January 22nd, 2013
I just got the 10 doctor! Wooooo!
Posted by: WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby January 22nd, 2013
Do you have a picture?
Posted by: Radburn January 22nd, 2013
Excellent send a picture to Booboo & a pic of the Gold Certificate – I’ve been wondering what they look like?
Posted by: 4th Doctor January 24th, 2013
I would love to have that one more than any other super rare!!
Posted by: Radburn January 24th, 2013
..and we can’t wait for your picture of it!
Posted by: Radburn January 30th, 2013
Still waiting?
Posted by: dramy rivory February 2nd, 2013

Posted by: Angel Of Death January 19th, 2013
the only one’s i want are river amy and the doctor’s.
don’t know about rory maybe i don’t want him.
Posted by: Steampunk Doctor January 13th, 2013
anyone found some yet ?
Posted by: booboo January 13th, 2013
i haven’t seen one reported anywhere
Posted by: Andrew I January 13th, 2013
I think it would be nice if the super rare figures were from the classic series… It would make a nice extra to the range that focuses on the new series, and allows for people to actually collect all figures that relate to the new series… Just a thought.
Character Building could also have a voting system on their website whereby we could vote for the ‘people’s choice’ for new figures to be released! Listen to the market!
Posted by: Mels January 15th, 2013
Odd. Would have expected to see some by now.
Posted by: Dr tyler January 20th, 2013
I ve found the Amy and Rory but I wanted the doctor more has any one found him booboo?
Posted by: the living shadow January 21st, 2013
i really wish i could say say yes, but i have not got any. I’m going to forbidden planet in 2 weeks so you never know
Posted by: Anonymous April 12th, 2013
yes i have the tenth doctor in space suet the best thing is i got it for free cus i got it on my bday
Posted by: Baba January 3rd, 2013
The figures look good but I don’t know why they have those certain figures because there are better looking figures in the rest of series 3. Although I understand about the little differences in the figures like what they do with the variant 5″ figures. Also I think in the next Character Building Dr. Who series they should more of the classic monsters and aliens like the Ice Worriers, some of the classic Dalek designs or the classic Doctors however I heard that they made a set of all the Doctors since 1963!
Posted by: Sebatron January 10th, 2013
Yep
Posted by: Nathan Hancock December 30th, 2012
I`ve never seen the point in the super rares because it highly unlikely that you will get one and it would be nearly impossible to get all five in bind bags without ebay
Posted by: Steampunk Doctor January 1st, 2013
somebody has found two super rares in the same box you know !
Posted by: Nathan Hancock January 2nd, 2013
WOW! that person was lucky!
Posted by: Steampunk Doctor January 8th, 2013
The story is on this website somewhere , just go to the character building super rares series 2 found in the articles and its there ! , mine is there aswell
Posted by: Mels January 15th, 2013
It’s supposed to be a marketing thing I guess… you might buy more packets looking for super-rares, and you generate more discussion about a product when they are found.
I think that certainly worked for the first series, but after that I think the novelty quickly wore off as people became disillusioned with the prices the super-rares auction for – and the unlikelyhood of ever actually finding one (let alone owning the whole set), regardless of how many packets you buy.
I guess they keep making them though since it’s now become ‘a feature’.
Posted by: the living shadow January 21st, 2013
wow!! I think they’re also the only person to get any of the S-rare figs
Posted by: The Supreme Dalek December 29th, 2012
Why is my favourite always the one that has only 100 available!
My order from best to worst:
1. Amy Pond
2. Nurse Rory
3. Tenth Doctor in Spacesuit
4. Eleventh Doctor
5. River Song
Posted by: TheMadManWithABox1 December 22nd, 2012
I seriously don’t see why people are complaining about these. I think they’re amazing!
Posted by: Paul Castle December 28th, 2012
They’re amazing, but I think I have a greater chance of seeing Elvis in Morrisons than finding one. Which is a crying shame as I would like to have a complete set. I wish that they were of the same rarity level as the Serene Angels and Police Amys as they were pricey (only today I finally bit the bullet and bought a rare angel on eBay for a tenner) but at least you had a fair chance of getting one. The super rares I would rather not be teased with, thanks.
Posted by: The Driver December 29th, 2012
It’s because they are so hard to find
Posted by: TheMadManWithABox1 January 1st, 2013
Yeah I see where your comming from.
Posted by: morlu December 20th, 2012
What happened to the figures of the Judoon and Sontaran without there Helmets?
Posted by: booboo December 20th, 2012
we dont know yet
Posted by: Paul Castle December 28th, 2012
I’m hoping that they’ll be exclusives for Army Builder Packs.
Posted by: The Driver December 29th, 2012
At argos.
Posted by: the living shadow January 21st, 2013
yeah i realised that too. They were going to make a dalek sec fig aswell
Posted by: the living shadow December 16th, 2012
The 10th doc would be easy to feel because its the only one in the series although its easy to mistake for the 11th
Posted by: Anonymous April 12th, 2013

Ood pack
Posted by: The Driver December 15th, 2012
What about a ganger doctor or perhaps general staal
Posted by: doctorwhofan561 December 14th, 2012
These are really good but why does amy have the tally marks
Posted by: Sebatron January 4th, 2013
So she knows how many silents she has seen. Watch Day of the Moon. It explains it.
Posted by: Friend of the Hath December 13th, 2012
I love the design but i hate that they are so rare! Also it’s good that they are doing past doctors!
Posted by: James December 13th, 2012
I really wish Amy didn’t have tally marks, this is my favourite costume of hers, but the tally marks ruin it a bit for me to be honest.
Posted by: T4RD1S December 23rd, 2012
Well you can paint it off
Posted by: Steampunk Doctor December 30th, 2012
Its to rare to do that
Posted by: the living shadow January 21st, 2013
yeah, i thought that aswell
Posted by: Mels December 13th, 2012
Very nice. I’m a bit disappointed that the 11th Doctor in tux is a super rare (as I would have loved that one in my collection) however, we’ve been guessing that one as a super-rare for awhile now, so it’s not really a suprise!
River looks really great too.
The others are a bit ‘samey’ to me, but still nice.
Posted by: James December 12th, 2012
I really like them.
I just hate the fact Amy has tally marks, they look so pointless and ruin the coolness. The Doctor in Tuxedo looks awesome, so does the Tennant in SB6 spacesuit and Rory. I love the River, this just looks perfect.
Posted by: Anonymous December 13th, 2012
I’d take it as a good thing, there’s a chance they’ll release the non-tally mark version in a far higher quantity at some point.
Posted by: dra December 12th, 2012
is it me or is the river from the eternity clock the game
Posted by: Steampunk Doctor December 12th, 2012
its from the pandorica opens
Posted by: dra December 12th, 2012
what part in the pandorica opens
Posted by: The Silent Silent December 12th, 2012
the bit where she goes to the art exhibition to get the pic of the tardis exploding. I think..
Posted by: Sebatron December 13th, 2012
No its when she goes in the Royal Collection on the star ship UK. She also wears it in the eternity clock.
Posted by: Angel Of Death January 1st, 2013
the silent silent is right but sebatron is right too your comments r just a bit diffrent that’s all.
Posted by: Sebatron January 10th, 2013
Sorry

Posted by: pond01 January 19th, 2013
I am going to miss Amy and Rory so much!! They were the first ever couple travelling and I was sad when they were about to get a divorce but happy they resolved it!!! definitely the best!!!!
Posted by: i love karen gillan December 12th, 2012
how do u try to get them
Posted by: mr December 12th, 2012
So cool that they are doing new tenth doctor figures!
Posted by: drwhofan99 December 11th, 2012
I really like these super-rares. 10th Doc & Amy are my favs. I would really like to find one of these although I’ve never got a super-rare before.
Posted by: Anonymous December 11th, 2012
The problem with these is that they are just too rare. The idea behind them is to make a figure that is rare enough that it encourages people to buy even more of their figures but the problem is they have made them so rare that people just genuinely can’t be bothered finding them and would rather just spend a fortune on ebay if it really bothers them.
I think a good idea would be to increase the number of figures a lot so that there a single super rare in every case of figures. That way it costs a lot to get them all but it’s possible.
Posted by: Pull To Open December 12th, 2012
Totally agree. Even my 8 year old Great-nephew figured out that searching for these was pointless.
In fact the odds of previous Super Rares are such that you were more likely to get 4 numbers on the National Lottery (twice over) than find one of these.
They did the same with Wave 3 of HMAF and only 1 has ever been on Ebay out of the 222 they’ve produced.
Then they ask you to collect the set!
Posted by: RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND December 12th, 2012
I dont see the point in these either.
Posted by: drwhofan4ever December 11th, 2012
i want cat burgular river
Posted by: drwhofan4ever December 11th, 2012
so badly
Posted by: dra December 11th, 2012
here is some tip on finding them
tenth doctor:
tenth doctors head and sonic
Rory:
feel for his head but not a gun
river song:
feel for her head but not a skirt
hope this helps everyone
Posted by: the living shadow January 21st, 2013
Thanks.
Posted by: Oodkind25 December 11th, 2012
With the amy figure, if you are lucky enough to find one that is, you could swap her head for the comman tally amy in the series 3 packs to make a full silence marked body!
Posted by: the doctor December 11th, 2012
Im dying to get 10th/11th Doc
Posted by: Joe OHalloran December 11th, 2012
Amazing! But why aren’t they doing any monsters?
Posted by: Cyberdevil December 11th, 2012
“such a hit” not
Posted by: oscarwho December 11th, 2012
coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooolllllll oh i would like a tenth doctor with coat
Posted by: the living shadow January 21st, 2013
yes!!
Posted by: Mr Zarbi December 11th, 2012
It’s great that they are using past doctors! hoping for a 4th doc in red scarf + jacket.
Posted by: josh smith December 11th, 2012
theres no past doctors here?
Posted by: Scott the Raptor December 11th, 2012
The Tenth Doctor in Sanctuary Base suit is.
Posted by: i love karen gillan December 13th, 2012
hey how do you try to get them
Posted by: Steampunk Doctor December 11th, 2012
I hope i find one !! ive already got a hologram silent
Posted by: i love karen gillan December 16th, 2012

Posted by: Steampunk Doctor December 19th, 2012

Posted by: DOCTOR ROCKSTER January 8th, 2013
Really?
Posted by: the living shadow January 21st, 2013
Ha ha ha!!! yes!! that comment literally made me Laugh Out Loud!!
Posted by: dramy rivory December 11th, 2012
it’s a shame that they had to do more super rare figures, i think the doctor should have came with his top hat and cane.
Posted by: CONNORTHEDOCTOR December 11th, 2012
That Amy is in my opinion the best character options mini figure they have ever done! I might actually buy that on eBay!
Posted by: Friend of the Hath December 16th, 2012
I thought the series 2 amy pirate was the best ever! up to you though!
Posted by: Douglas Fir December 11th, 2012
I like them, but find it really annoying that this is now the fourth batch of Super Rares – guess my bank balance is going to take another hit once these start hitting eBay as doubtful I’ll ever find them in blind bags.
Posted by: Anonymous January 6th, 2013
Fourth? If there’s a super rare set each for series 1, 2, and 3, what’s the fourth set?
Posted by: the living shadow January 21st, 2013
I’m not to sure but apparently they made a S-rare 11 Doctors set
Posted by: booboo January 21st, 2013
yes they did, 100 only
Posted by: drjakeyoung January 21st, 2013
thats the one i have
Posted by: dalek eternal December 11th, 2012
these look like hard to find super rares i found one series super rare last time and that was river i felt for her head and then for a gun i got 80 pound for it on ebay but these like theres no distinctive things to feel for
Posted by: doctorpond393 December 11th, 2012
There is
River: Feel for hair, but has no skirt to feel for as with series 3
Amy: Nothing really
Rory:Again nothing
10th Doctor: Head and sonic
11th: Nothing.
Posted by: Mr Evil Fez December 11th, 2012
I’m disappointed with them, but my favourite is The 10th Doctor.
Posted by: Imaginethatnodoor December 11th, 2012
I want the 10th doctor
Posted by: Liason Ice December 11th, 2012
Damn it! I thought they stopped these now I’m mad
Posted by: Sebatron December 11th, 2012
FINALLY!!! It took them long enough!
Posted by: Sebatron December 11th, 2012
FINALLY!!!
Posted by: The Noise Tank Cyberman December 11th, 2012
Rory kinda looks like he’s holding something…but what??
Posted by: The Noise Tank Cyberman December 11th, 2012
My bad just his hand /)_-
Posted by: Douglas Fir December 11th, 2012
I would assume he’s holding a mobile phone given the costume (Eleventh Hour) – it does look like he’s holding something to me.
Posted by: booboo December 11th, 2012
its just the shadow on the inner hand, i have a much larger image here
Posted by: Radburn December 11th, 2012
Oh dear lord – Not again!
Posted by: The Driver December 10th, 2012
What about some monsters rather than companions!
Posted by: DavidH December 10th, 2012
Wow, 10th Doctor Super Rare! Did not see that one coming
Posted by: The Driver December 10th, 2012
Yes, that was quite a surprise!
Posted by: Judooning December 10th, 2012
Love the 10th Doctor! And at least the Judoon Captain and Sontaran Leader aren’t Super rare and should be available soon in packs or something along those lines
Posted by: Doctor Who Crazy Ross December 10th, 2012
This Looks Cool!
Posted by: Im new December 10th, 2012
I got straight doctor jacket last time.only one I rly want is Amy!!
Posted by: John Colwell December 10th, 2012
Rubbish practice and having emailed CB about Dr Who Figs in the past it does not suprise me that they have no clue what their customers really want.
These guys are just wasting so many opportunites with this range its rather sad
Also what happenned to the bare headed Sontaran and Judoon
Posted by: The Driver December 10th, 2012
Yeah
Posted by: the living shadow January 21st, 2013
and dalek sec
Posted by: Ian December 10th, 2012
These look good but this time I am not buying loads of them to try and find them. However a Judoon and a Sontaran should be easy to feel through the packet. Those I want and the Dalek.
Also apart from FP and Hamleys in Cardiff who else is selling these? A new Tesco that has just opened near me is still selling series 2.
Posted by: Esterath December 10th, 2012
STUPID idea! No-one will ever get them in packs!
Posted by: RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND December 10th, 2012
not bothered. rivers clothes are quite revealing. i do not approve. i am vaguely bothered about amy though…
Posted by: The Driver December 10th, 2012
No objections or anything, but what!
Posted by: RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND December 11th, 2012
just joking! it is bit wierd though. i am not bothered about any of these.
Posted by: That Snowman over there December 10th, 2012
The Super Rares? A hit?
Posted by: DavidH December 10th, 2012
They’ve sold for up to £300 on eBay. Clearly if people are willing to pay that much for a figure that the seller bought for £2, they have to be considered a hit
Posted by: The Monitor December 10th, 2012
Interesting that we find out now about the super rares, yet no one that I have met or have seen on the net has found one. Boxes may have initially been limited, but many thousands of packets must have already been opened, which makes me wonder if it is only the second wave of boxes to hit the UK that have them.
Great to see etc but a shame if all those loyal fans who now already have a full set stood no chance of a super rare. I hope I am wrong, but evidence would suggest otherwise.

Absolute RUBISH

Really?
Posted by: BOOBOO JR December 10th, 2012
Maybe this Series I’ll be able to find a Super Rare, but then again, maybe not
Posted by: Jamie December 10th, 2012
Just saw the image earlier! They look pretty cool, just a shame I will never get them.
