I just finished the 2011 TARDIS Interior set yesterday. I would say the time it took me all together, including me having to seperate all the pieces into piles at the start, possibly one and a half hours. I remember last time I built it it took me days, but this time it didn’t and it also feels more sturdy and not as flimsy as it used to be, although a I was missing a few pieces.
Posted by: Mike May 14th, 2013
Hell of a request but I’d love to see a CB Cyberking.
Posted by: Who fan May 14th, 2013
I think we need Clara Oswin Oswald and the new cybermen.
Posted by: BLANK May 11th, 2013
Does anyone know when the tardis mini set will be out? Really can’t wait for that one
Posted by: T4RD1S May 30th, 2013
http://merchandise.thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/the-tardis-mini-set/ you mean that one in the link or this one http://merchandise.thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/tardis-dematerialising-mini-set/ well they’re both out now
Posted by: legofreak86 May 5th, 2013
Can’t wait til the tardis interior set. I like the fact this one is enclosed and looks more together than the 2011 one. The prototype of the 2011 one looked great and more accurate than the final version. I hope they don’t change this prototype too much as the idea of it being on a baseboard means it will be easier to use,transport and because of it’s high walls and layout it’ll be good for stopmotions. Really hope this comes out in june! Hopefully the doctor and clara will be included. In an ideal world paternoster gang would be cool too.
Posted by: Criss May 12th, 2013
There are a few tweaks here and there that it needs, like raising the door for the TARDIS so that there is a platform leading straight from the door to the central console, but I like the figure ideas
Posted by: Liason Ice April 7th, 2013
Have we got any release dates yet?
Posted by: The Driver April 15th, 2013
Same time last year probably as that’s when all the mewerchandise gets released- June onwards.
Posted by: Criss April 1st, 2013
I think CB should make an 11 companion and Dalek pack: Sarah Jane and K9, Ace, Peri, Teegan, Jo Grant, Susan, Brigadier, Jamie, Rose, Donna, Clara
Ironside, Special Weapons, Bronze (2005), Renegade, Imperial, Red Drone, Davros, Sec, Exxilon, Gold and black, Blue and silver
Posted by: Anonymous April 13th, 2013
What about Jack and Martha?
Posted by: Criss April 15th, 2013
Yeah, I was trying to keep it one companion per Doctor
Posted by: James Smith March 6th, 2013
I want them to make figures of older new series characters like..
Slitheen
Face of Boe (Deluxe)
Novice Hame
Sycorax
Rose
Martha
Donna
Captain Jack
Cassandra
The Master
Scarecrow
There, Series 4.
Posted by: Cathal March 4th, 2013
These are awesome!
I haven’t even started collecting any figs or sets from series 3. Really happy with the dalek sec figure as I thought it would be super rare series 3. It would be better if it was the genisis ark though. I hope the next batch of CB has past companions. I say by their release there will be a Clara and the doctor in his new outfit figs in the Tardis set
Posted by: The Driver April 15th, 2013
You could paint a 2005 dalek black.
Posted by: Friend of the Ood March 4th, 2013
I’m hoping that they’ll have the redesigned cybermen when it finally all comes out.
Also please give us a hatless Doctor at one point, for regenarations and stuff.
Finally, any idea how you can use one acount for both Disqus and this site? I know some people manage, help appreciated.
Posted by: time and relotive dimens February 27th, 2013
ok i am doctor smith just fancied a new name.
i think they should do a peter cushing tardis set. a dalek control room set with blue and red and black dalek. a corridoor with door cutter unit dalek and a lift. prison room with the doctor susan ian and barbra with dalek opened and the thal forest with aladon with the tardis exterior
Posted by: cybercroc February 27th, 2013
they should release the new 11 doctors for normal figures
Posted by: Curtis Mccarthy February 25th, 2013
I would like to get the 11 doctor micro figures to collect the ones with different clothes then I will finish the rest of my doctor who collection
Posted by: Esterath February 23rd, 2013
I still can’t find these anywhere!
Posted by: Anonymous March 4th, 2013
they are not out yet
but i think argos might get them june ish
Posted by: Friend of Hath February 8th, 2013
I’m not going to bother with Cyberman and dalek speeders they just don’t look normal
Posted by: TheJaffaDodger February 14th, 2013
I’ll buy the Dalek one for the Sec microfigure
Posted by: Droney February 15th, 2013
Character Building have made a rip off star wars lego
Fun Fact Lego where going to make lego doctor who because on Lego cuusoo they said.It it is on Doctor Who-LEGO.
Posted by: Anonymous February 21st, 2013
droney that is most deifinely a confurmation
Posted by: The Driver April 15th, 2013
The cyberman speeder looks better quality. But there and again, they’re only promotional pictures so they’ll probably look better when they’re officially released.
Posted by: lego February 1st, 2013
they shode be cb sharah jane advntures
Posted by: Anonymous March 4th, 2013
same
Posted by: lego February 1st, 2013
hi i am from the uk caint wait when do they come out
Posted by: TheMadManWithABox1 February 15th, 2013
June ish
Posted by: Radburn January 31st, 2013
The Character Building Group was in the news in the Business section stating that “..they expect a poor business performance through to March but expect an increase in the second half”
I should say – Considering I will be buying all of their Products this year (Some more than once)
Hopefully the collecting can continue when it’s out?
Posted by: TheJaffaDodger January 28th, 2013
It would be nice if they released a hat-less 7th Doctor at some point
Posted by: doctor smith February 13th, 2013
that is a very good idea. oh by the way i am changing my name to golden syrup time lord
Posted by: Anonymous March 4th, 2013
good idea because if u do a 7th doctor regenaration u can have the head hat less not with a hat on.
Posted by: Anonymous January 27th, 2013
I want a cb red dwarf!
Posted by: dramy rivory January 28th, 2013
yer that would be awsome
Posted by: DAVROS And The Daleks is January 31st, 2013
Yeah and maybe a super rare black suit rimmer LOL
Posted by: morlu February 2nd, 2013
That is a great idea. Love the Dwarf.
Posted by: Anonymous March 4th, 2013
cool idea
Posted by: Davros and The Daleks is March 4th, 2013
morku so do i smegging great
Posted by: Anonymous April 13th, 2013
Smegging brilliant idea!
It would be great to have minis of boys from the Dwarf!
I’d mainly like that to get Bob the Scutter!
Posted by: Tardis’nt January 27th, 2013
isn’t the word speeder trademark of lucasfilm/disney? surely they can’t use it for this???
Posted by: cyber robert January 29th, 2013
yep starwho!
Posted by: Anonymous February 23rd, 2013
“starwho” love it! but no, the word speeder isnt trademark lucasfilm/diseny
Posted by: Dalek93 January 27th, 2013
The tardis looks amazing!
Posted by: Anonymous March 4th, 2013
yeah
Posted by: Paulio January 27th, 2013
Next we need Classic Doctor who Monsters, Imagine how awesome it would be to have Davros, The Master, 60′s Daleks, Morbius creature, Earthshock Cybermen and maybe the coolest of all…Special Weapons Dalek!! also..A k-9 would be nice.
Posted by: Anonymous March 4th, 2013
the k9 would be tiny
cool idea
Posted by: Anonymous April 13th, 2013
I want Ice Warriors and Zygons!
Now that would be cool!
Posted by: dan23 January 26th, 2013
All looks great especially the new doctor blind bags. Although i was wondering was there any hint at series 4?
Posted by: booboo January 26th, 2013
the press release suggests their are sets from series 7b to come later in the year so maybe series 4 contains figures from episodes due this year so they cant be shown in public yet.
Posted by: dan23 January 26th, 2013
Didnt think of that, I hope so, then again still got none of series 3 yet!
Posted by: Swift999 January 25th, 2013
From the Press Release, “the new constructable playsets based on the upcoming Series 7 part 2″, sounds like something more than we saw at Toy Fair this week. Fantastic. I hope Character will take the opportunity to include exclusive micro figures into the sets to promote sales.
Posted by: Saldersail2 January 24th, 2013
Do you think they may release the new cyberman CB figure ??
Posted by: Jack January 25th, 2013
Possibly the cyberman set thing has the old cyberman so they may have a new pattern on them due to the new series
Posted by: Anonymous March 4th, 2013
i hope they do because the new cybermen are EPIC
Posted by: CYBERMEN97000 January 24th, 2013
everything looks great just on query I understand they’re prototypes but I don’t get why they’ve made the new console room have a raised platform when it doesn’t
Posted by: Anonymous January 24th, 2013
It doesn’t have a raised platform, but it has a lower floor, so making the middle floor appear to be a platform is the only way to recreate it.
Posted by: Imaginethatnodoor January 24th, 2013
It does…
Posted by: CYBERMEN97000 January 24th, 2013
Sorry not a platform I mean it doesn’t have stairs when you walk in , its like you walk straight in and your in the console room
if im wrong then I think I should check my own you tube video out that would be embarrassing 
Posted by: Anonymous January 24th, 2013
That’s exactly what it is like in the picture, or it certainly looks like it, there’s a big sticking out bit heading into the back of the set.
Posted by: Dalek Sec January 24th, 2013
EVERYTHING HERE IS AWESOME, except for the big Lego Cyberhead, I don’t see the point of that.
Nevertheless I thought it was just another boring day on the Doctor Who Site, when suddenly a load of really awesome stuff comes up.
EXCITEMENT OVERLOAD!!
Posted by: Kroton January 24th, 2013
Another boring day on the doctor who site?!
How dare you!!!
Posted by: Scott the Raptor February 12th, 2013
I think he meant that he thought there would be no updates on the day.
Posted by: Imaginethatnodoor January 23rd, 2013
when do you think the monster set will be out, i could really do with the sontaran and the judoon, should they be out by april?
Posted by: booboo January 23rd, 2013
could be, no specific dates were given
Posted by: AndZa09 January 23rd, 2013
Hey imaginethatnodoor!
Posted by: Imaginethatnodoor January 24th, 2013
hey andza09???
Posted by: Anonymous January 23rd, 2013
Is the 11 doctors set the same figures as in the blind bags?
Posted by: booboo January 23rd, 2013
no it will be different
Posted by: DavidH January 23rd, 2013
So you’re saying that:
a) The current 11 Doctors Box
b) The new 11 Doctors Box
c) The new Blind Bag Doctors
Are all different? So there will be 3 versions of each Doctor 1-10 available [discounting Super Rares]?
Posted by: booboo January 23rd, 2013
some of them, nothing was set in stone about the new box set
Posted by: DavidH January 23rd, 2013
Okay thanks booboo, looks like we’ll just have to wait for the final release to find out
Posted by: drjakeyoung January 23rd, 2013
i may buy 2 eleven doctor box sets (one to open and the other to keep in it’s original packaging like i did with the older version)and the paradigm daleks set. Not to sure about the rest, all seems very expensive, but worth it!
Posted by: doctor smith January 23rd, 2013
when i first saw this ( last night ) i thought OMG these are amazing. on the new tardis interior they mist the 3rd level on the things on top of the time rotar. its a bid odd that they relesed dalek sec. my faviourite is the new doctors I LOVE THEM!!!. I would love to see a clare micro figure. I would give it all a 10 out of 10
Posted by: luke kelly January 23rd, 2013
is the new 9th doctor thre super rare variant with the green shirt????
Posted by: luke kelly January 23rd, 2013
and i like the new wave of doctors!!!!
an unearthly child 1st doctor
keeper of traken 4th doctor
ressurection of the daleks 5th doctor
real time 6th doctor
Posted by: Angel Of Death March 5th, 2013
No it is grey
Posted by: hanbot10 January 23rd, 2013
love the 11 doctors figures especially the 10th 11th and 4th doctors. also like the cyberman head thingy. nice to see judoon and sontaren without helmet. perhaps they will do strax?
Posted by: dramy rivory January 23rd, 2013
i must have them all, but i’m running out of room to put them. any idear when these are being released.
Posted by: booboo January 23rd, 2013
May/June onwards i would think
Posted by: dramy rivory January 23rd, 2013
can’t wait, my bday in july so hopefully i’ll get some for then.
Posted by: CG January 23rd, 2013
All very cool, but not sure about the cyber head.
Are the character building 11 doctors blind packets different from the new set? If so cool.
Posted by: CG January 31st, 2013
anyone?
Posted by: booboo January 31st, 2013
yes we were told they will be (or some will be)
Posted by: Anonymous January 23rd, 2013
On the dalek set there is a picture of dalek sec on the box!
Posted by: Liason Ice January 23rd, 2013
Awesome, all of it is just awesome
Posted by: LegoAvon January 23rd, 2013
Lovin the pics of the new CB drwho stuff.
this is my model btw
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1533231
I’ll have to make a new series one.
…now how many boxes of the 11 doctors do i want 2 or 3 ?
Posted by: Anonymous April 13th, 2013
That’s a cool bust! How long did it take?
Posted by: Whovian101 January 22nd, 2013
COOL! When will they be released?
Posted by: Droney January 22nd, 2013
Does the 11th doctor have a yellow jacket inthe 11 doctors blind packs.
Posted by: Hellbelly January 24th, 2013
It looks like the light brown jacket from Series 2 but with the blue bow tie rather than red.
Posted by: Droney January 26th, 2013
Ok
Posted by: Droney January 26th, 2013
What i is thanks.
Posted by: Angel Of Death January 22nd, 2013
Want All Of This Not Sure About Cyber Head But Might Get It
Posted by: The Silent Silent January 22nd, 2013
Oh My Galifrey. This is the best news Ive heared for CB EVER !!
Posted by: The Supreme Dalek January 22nd, 2013
These look good! I’m thinking of probably getting the new TARDIS. It doesn’t look, well, shall I say collapsible like the other one? Anyway, these are great!
Posted by: The Master January 22nd, 2013
OMG,all of this is awesome, soooo gonna buy it all
Posted by: BOOBOO JR January 22nd, 2013
Looks like a good year for Character Building, this looks like a great selection! Not so keen on the Cyber-Head thing, but the Elevn Doctors Box and Blind Bags both look amazing. I really am quite impressed!
Posted by: Saldersail2 January 22nd, 2013
nice i missed out on the daily mail eternal good to see it released
Posted by: doctorpond393 January 22nd, 2013
Those eleven drs are mini packets?!? Cool!
Posted by: the astornaut of death January 22nd, 2013
booboo how much is the new tarids
Posted by: Luke January 22nd, 2013
Not sure, we forgot to ask.
Posted by: drjakeyoung January 22nd, 2013
hey Luke, how come where it says your name in the “recent comments” box at the side of the page your name is not highlighted like booboo’s?
Posted by: Scott the Raptor January 22nd, 2013
Where are the steps leading to the balcony?
Posted by: Doctorwhofan101 January 22nd, 2013
I love this, especially the TARDIS. Although, last times TARDIS I was missing three quarters of the set.
Posted by: Doctorwhofan101 January 22nd, 2013
Plus, I hope Clara comes with it.
Posted by: the eternal dotor January 22nd, 2013
booboo how much is the tardis
Posted by: cyberman6 January 22nd, 2013
Really cant wait for these to come out!
Posted by: drjakeyoung January 22nd, 2013
you get dalek sec with that dalek speeder thing!
Posted by: drjakeyoung January 22nd, 2013
i love the mini figures, it’s just the fact that they are £2 each! and they are tiny!
Posted by: Friend of the Ood January 22nd, 2013
Booboo, any idea when these will be released?
Posted by: Judooning January 22nd, 2013
I’m probably going to keep collecting the CB mini figs, buying them in dribs and drabs.
The New 11 Doctor Wave looks out of this world! Lovely colour schemes, especially the 3rd, 4th and 8th Doctors!
And that Paradigm pack! :O I only have Dalek Drone so far, so i shall be getting this! Along with the Monster pack to get that Judoon Captain
Not fussed about the Cyber Head or the Dalek/Cybermen skimmers, but they still look nice.
Although i can’t help thinking that the new TARDIS playset just looks a little too cramped and bulky.
Posted by: Owen January 23rd, 2013
I They Are Prototypes.
Posted by: Owen January 23rd, 2013
*I Think They Are Prototypes.*
Posted by: RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND January 22nd, 2013
those multi pack look good
Posted by: Friend of the Ood January 22nd, 2013
Wow wow wow! Can’t wait to get ALL of these!
Posted by: Trenzalore64 January 22nd, 2013
I like the cyber speeder set, but i am not impressed by the Dalek set.
Posted by: drjakeyoung January 22nd, 2013
they both look to much like lego or me
Posted by: Kroton January 22nd, 2013
Is that cb series 4 then? No Clara!!!
And is the tarnish a prototype, or will it improve, as it looks nothing like it.?
Posted by: booboo January 22nd, 2013
anything can change and some are pre production samples or mock ups, we dont know what figures may come with the Tardis playset yet
Posted by: Anonymous January 22nd, 2013
That cyberhead looks terrible, and the tardis too chunky and blue, disappointed about the lack of clara figure, but love the monster five figure set!!!!!
Posted by: Scott January 22nd, 2013
I love looking at these, even though I don’t collect them , like last year they give you an idea of whats going to appear in the show.
Posted by: sheepinafez January 22nd, 2013
Mind = blown
Posted by: drjakeyoung January 22nd, 2013
absolutely love the lot! though i do think CB are trying to be a lot like lego
Posted by: Mumble5557 Productions January 22nd, 2013
Just going to get the wave
Posted by: MrWho63 January 22nd, 2013
Love 11 doctor varients
Posted by: Nicholas January 22nd, 2013
Tardis looks Great!!! I a;so love the new Doctor variants
Posted by: swift999 January 22nd, 2013
Agreed about the helmet-less Judoon and Sontaran. Greedily, I would like to have seen the Silurian with a helmet. Oh well.
Posted by: OswinOswald January 22nd, 2013
I don’t really collect these but I’m thinking about it. The TARDIS set looks amazing!
Posted by: Swift999 January 22nd, 2013
Great showing this year. Will pop along tomorrow for a closer look. I can see me getting lots of the Alien 5-pack. The new TARDIS looks fab and sturdier than the last offering. The Classic Doctors is much appreciated. All that’s missing for me is a Series 4 Blind Pack – Clara, Vastra, Snowmen, Victorian Strax anyone?
Posted by: Robert Langham January 22nd, 2013
Can they do a proper motorised tardis control room for the action figures? PLSSSSSSS
Posted by: DavidH January 22nd, 2013
So when these are released, there will be three variations off 11 Doctors?
The boxed set already released
The new boxed set
The new blind bags
And they’ll all be different?
Posted by: swift999 January 22nd, 2013
Particularly pleased with the final season Tom Baker, improved Davison and especially the long-coated Tennant.
Posted by: jonathan January 22nd, 2013
The tardis set is a thing of beauty, can’t wait for this wave to come out
Posted by: Esmeblabbed January 22nd, 2013
How much are the figure packs?
Posted by: Tardis’nt January 22nd, 2013
usually £1.99
Posted by: Esmeblabbed January 22nd, 2013
Wait, do you mean the individual ones? Cause I meant the 5 pack ones…I’d be very surprised if they are that cheap!!!
Posted by: Scott the Raptor January 22nd, 2013
Should be round about £9.95
Posted by: jack January 22nd, 2013
i love them and they do a sontaran general. when do they come out?
Posted by: Stephie January 22nd, 2013
Classic Who monsters as super rares would really be a great marketing idea!
Posted by: PanDoricus January 22nd, 2013
would be great if they bring out classic monsters mystery bags. set of 15. classic Dalek, Tenth Planet Cyberman, Yeti, Ice Warrior, Silurian, Sea Devil, Axon, Aggador,Zygon, Robot from Robot,Robots of Death Robot, Scaroth! 80s Cyberman, Sil and Tetrap!
Posted by: Connor January 22nd, 2013
And classic autons,veroids,time lords,master(from 70s and 80s),decayed master, ice lords, rani and tomb of the cybermen cybermen and cybercontroller!!! That would be an awsome Lego set of classic who monsters as well as you’r great choices! And maybe a kroton and a quark aswell!
Posted by: Cyberdevil January 22nd, 2013
Is there any other non character bulding Doctor Who items present?
Posted by: PanDoricus January 22nd, 2013
When are these out? soon I hope!
Posted by: THEBIGBLUEBOX January 22nd, 2013
omg!! i hope that they make a tardis playset for the 5 inch figures
Posted by: Radburn January 22nd, 2013
So the missing Sontaran/Judoon come in a seperate pack & the missing Black Dalek is presumably (As pictured) in the Dalek Skimmer?
Posted by: Connor January 22nd, 2013
I’m so getting the new 11 doctors box set and tardis and the angels take manhattan Lego set also the villain set featuring judoon, Silurian, sontaran, cybermen and ood! I don’t want the Dalek/Cybermen speeder sets because there not in the program and they look stupid!
Posted by: swift999 January 22nd, 2013
I may get the Dalek and Cyberman minisets for completeness. What I like about them is they look fun, playable and at £10 (?) with 3 figures is good value for kids presents. Could bring fresh customers to the line.
Posted by: TheMadManWithABox1 January 29th, 2013
I will only get the spreader if a black Dalek is included like the box says
Posted by: TheMadManWithABox1 January 29th, 2013
*speeder
Posted by: drjakeyoung January 29th, 2013
lol!
Posted by: TheMadManWithABox1 January 30th, 2013
Posted by: PanDoricus January 22nd, 2013
Love the Doctors mystery bags but shame there’s no classic monsters to be seen! glad we’ll be able to get Judoon and Sontaran with no helmet.
