SDCC 2016 New 13 Doctors Figure Set on Show
The page is live but not available to order yet, keep checking at www.toysrus.co.uk
Available to order in the USA from www.thinkgeek.com
Also available to order in the USA from www.calendars.com
You can also usually find this set on www.amazon.com #ad
Available order in Australia from www.popcultcha.com
Its that time of year again with SDCC 2016 about to start
Wednesday saw previews night between 6-9 pm, that’s 2-5am in the morning for people in the UK.
From what we can see nothing new was on show.
It starts on Thursday at 9.30am which is 5.30pm in the UK so no late night waiting for any information.
If anything is on show it should soon become clear.
The only Doctor Who items we know of so far are the 2 Titans, Ghost 12th Doctor and Glitter Tardis, Titan Comics, an electronic 20 questions Tardis, 5.5 “x 7” giant mug and Rory’s Story Cubes.
This year we have noticed the “exclusive” title has been dropped in many cases and replaced with “first to market” which means it is only sold there first.
I suspect all eyes (where Doctor Who is concerned) will be on the Underground Toys Stand where, assuming its on show, something “big” is coming (and no its not the mug)…

July 26th, 2016 - 12:02amI want this set as I wanted a 3rd red Jacket for ages. I like all of the figures except 10&11. 10 should have the sculpt he had in the 11 Doctors set & 11 the later one. Off topic but Boobo what’s happened to the 3.75″ range.. Just curious. Thanks
booboo
July 26th, 2016 - 7:10ami think unless wave 5 is sat in a warehouse for delivery later in the year its finished
mark Belsom
July 25th, 2016 - 11:47pmRead a comment on Facebook saying this set is only available in the US, can anyone confirm this ?
booboo
July 26th, 2016 - 7:11ami very much doubt it, i know at least one place in the UK has said they are getting it
as its an UT item not sure the price wont be quite high now though
mark Belsom
July 26th, 2016 - 10:10amThanks boo boo ,got a bit worried for a moment. Don’t want to pay over the top prices for the set.

July 25th, 2016 - 11:33pmIf they wanted a simple, new 11th Doctor variant they should’ve repainted the S6/Asylum Doctor with A Good Man Goes to War/Angels Take Manhattan colors. That’s personally my favorite 11th Doctor costume. 🙂
Tardis23
July 26th, 2016 - 1:18amMe too although fortunately I made an easy custom one from a s6 blue shirt one and swapped the bow tie with one from the fez figure, then I gave him glasses from a spare bracewell figure too.

July 25th, 2016 - 9:51pmHey Booboo, considering the announcement of this and the recent B&M sets, any chance the Lists section of the site can get updated to reflect the new figures? That’s be awesome, it’s a really helpful feature!
booboo
July 25th, 2016 - 10:06pmwe are completely re doing the list but it will take a while
the old ones were very difficult to keep up to date, the new ones can be updated daily and can contain much more info
they are still a work in progress but this is the collectors series one

July 26th, 2016 - 1:11amI didn’t know about that, it’s a great idea!

Doctor_Number 10
July 25th, 2016 - 8:02pmThere was. I bought it. I bought some SDCC Doctor Who comics on ebay from a guy going to SDCC. I found out about the 13 Doctors set and asked him if he could pick it up for me and he did.

July 25th, 2016 - 8:26pmBrilliant! Can you post some pictures of the figures in-hand when the set arrives?

July 25th, 2016 - 8:31pmHow much did it cost you?

booboo
July 25th, 2016 - 4:15pmtried to find out but had no luck so far
Don’t think it will that that far away as its already arrived in the USA but then there has been quite a gap sometimes in the past
always a problem when they show these items with very little info to go with it
Weeping Angel
July 26th, 2016 - 7:42pmOk thx
WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby?
July 25th, 2016 - 2:40pmI wish Character gave us a hatted Time Crash Fifth Doctor variant in this set instead of the variant from The Awakening but that one will do nicely regardless.
Doctor_Number 10
July 25th, 2016 - 12:45pmThis link shows how each of the Doctor’s outfits is a variant and what episode they wore that outfit in.

July 25th, 2016 - 12:58pmsorry cant allow links to articles that contains stuff we were asked to remove
real shame all this useful and very informative information couldn’t be shared for all officially.

booboo
July 25th, 2016 - 10:40amBlue but slightly different from previous releases

July 25th, 2016 - 10:59amactually i was reading a description of the pinstripes so it may not be, its form the Shakespeare code which was brown i think
Gallifrey Falls No More
July 25th, 2016 - 11:03amWhat’s the difference in the 10th?
booboo
July 25th, 2016 - 11:08amthere is a whole list of other differences on other sites, you will have to search around
not linking as it contains stuff we were asked to remove.
TheDarkAndTheLight
July 25th, 2016 - 11:35amThink the differences with Ten are a white shirt for the first time instead of light blue, a solid brown tie instead of one patterned with blue, more screen accurate colours (specifically the overcoat, and in the pinstripes on the suit), and dirtier trainers.
Tardis23
July 25th, 2016 - 2:21pmYou’d think if they’re correcting all the colours they would have made the suit brown finally but it seems not
booboo
July 25th, 2016 - 10:19amso this isn’t solely a character item then as it has the UT logo on it as well as Character logo , might effect the price in that case
Its only solely Character branded items that have been cheaper in the Uk in the past
Omega63
July 25th, 2016 - 11:10amWhat if they cover the UT logo with black tape if it does end up in Toys R Us? Will that reduce the price?
booboo
July 25th, 2016 - 11:19amI’m just looking at what’s happened in the past
All Character only Branded items (where the character logo is on the front) (B&M sets, All toys r us exclusives (NOT the joint FP exclusives) like K9, Doctor Dalek sets, 3.75″ sets, BBC hide set) have been much cheaper in the UK than the USA
All dual branded sets with both logos (which this set has) have been a similar price, but in many cases, because we pay VAT more expensive in the UK that USA.
There are Clearly some changes going on however so until someone give us a Solid UK price we have no idea now
Doctor_Number 10
July 25th, 2016 - 6:04amCloser look Look at the 13 Doctors figures. Question. How is 12 different from the black shirt version single release?

Michael
July 25th, 2016 - 7:22amI hope the paint apps are good on all the sets. The 3rd Doctor’s frog clasps need to be painted on very carefully. Some sets (eg 4th Doctor eyes in Keeper of Traken set) had substandard apps.
I’m really looking forward to this set.
Cheesypie
July 25th, 2016 - 7:27amThanks for sharing, after having a closer look the paint application on the 8th doctor’s face doesn’t look great. The blood looks really strange 🙁
Jordan Scott
July 25th, 2016 - 9:59am11 has the new head sculpt on the back of the box! Does this mean it was a mistake that they used the old one and is it possible that the sets will have the new one? It looks so much better!
booboo
July 25th, 2016 - 10:01amI’m sure this is the set and what you see is what you will get
they are probably already on the boat over
Jordan Scott
July 25th, 2016 - 10:12amShame as it’s the only thing I don’t like about the set, the’ve gotten everything else pretty much perfect! Oh well, at least it should be here soon! ☺
DannyTheNerd
July 25th, 2016 - 10:32amI may get it now i can see all the diffrences from their original releases. They do look pretty good
Awesomecrumpet11
July 25th, 2016 - 11:34amThis set looks awesome! Boo boo, do u know if the frog clasps are printed or painted?

July 25th, 2016 - 11:40amhonestly don’t know they look printed there doesn’t appear to any variation in shape between them

TheDarkAndTheLight
July 25th, 2016 - 11:41amTo answer your question on the difference with Twelve, Doctor_Number 10, his shirt is now supposedly the screen accurate dark navy instead of black.
STRAXTHEDESTROYER
July 24th, 2016 - 11:02pmi know it isn’t , but I think it would be cool to see capaldis new sonic screwdriver with him

July 24th, 2016 - 10:16pmBooboo, is this set for just SDCC or will it be for sell at retailers?
booboo
July 25th, 2016 - 7:14amno UK are getting it, dont know exactly what retailers yet but FP I’m sure will
Ericthedalek
July 24th, 2016 - 10:12pmI will get this set as well. I love the redone 6th doctor in blue from Reel Time. This version is much improved. The 3rd in red is the selling point for me!! Loved that look on Jon Pertwee. The second Doctor( The 2 Doctors) I assume, from the hair, has always been a favorite. I will retire my customs of these figures with ACTUAL versions. I only wish they would make my favorite classic companion…Jamie. Come on! I’m getting old, make the classic companions box set. I smell a golden opportunity here. Ian, Barbara,Susan. Jamie, zoe. Sgt Benton, Capt Yates. Young Sarah Jane and Harry. The 5th Doctor’s crew: Tegan, Nyssa, Adric, Turlough and YES, Chameleon. At least one Romanna. We need Mel too. Then let the BBC hash out a deal to allow Grace and Lee, and then the TV Movie Master too. Ok, done dreaming. Thanks.
Andy Thorpe
July 24th, 2016 - 8:42pmI will definately get this. I missed out on the 11 doctors set. Although I could have bought it at the Doctor who Festival last year for £60. I bet this set will go for at least £80 to £90. Will this actually be released in the UK?
booboo
July 24th, 2016 - 8:43pmyes it def will
Doctor_Number 10
July 24th, 2016 - 9:21pmWas told from a someone at SDCC it costs about $250-$300
Anonymous
July 24th, 2016 - 9:41pmSo that would be about £190… Blimey. That’s quite a jump from the old boxset. I’d think the dearest they could probably get away with would be a £100, but even then that’d be pushing it. I think if this set went for about £70, that would be pretty reasonable, and honestly it’d be a steal.
Anonymous
July 24th, 2016 - 10:08pmIt was $150 at comic con definitely not over $200. Plus booboo estimates it will be £60-£70 in the uk because of the b&m price difference from last years comic con
booboo
July 25th, 2016 - 7:15ammy guess is at least £69,99
it does have a number sticker though so they might have plans for a low run / high cost i suppose

July 25th, 2016 - 1:48amI’m almost certain they were being sold for $150 at SDCC.

July 24th, 2016 - 7:46pmI thought it was purple but in pictures I looked up for the episode it looked like the standard burgandy jumper to me. There’s me talking about Character getting their facts wrong when I clearly can’t tell one colour from the other.

TheRavenMustBeFaced
July 24th, 2016 - 3:04pmShame about the 7th and 12th doctor figures! real opportunities missed, the 7th could’ve been based off the TV movie and the 12th could’ve had his early series 9 outfit or even the velvet jacket outfit! The 5th doctor could have possibly been based off “Time Crash” but they probably wanted to get the figures looking like they do/did when they were originally on screen!
Daz
July 24th, 2016 - 2:06pmI wont be getting this as i have the old 11 doctors set. Already got war, 8th, 4th, 7th in these variants. I do however love the 3rd doctors outfit… just can’t justify more doctors and would rather use the money on future classics if we get some.
If they ever do the regeneration set that would tempt me.
TheDarkAndTheLight
July 24th, 2016 - 6:35pmAs booboo has said countless times, there won’t be any future classic releases if people don’t spend money on these sets.
Daz
July 24th, 2016 - 10:45pmStill not gonna waste my money. When you already own at least 2 variants of each doctor there’s no need for more. With there being no new who this year i guess this is all we will get though.
WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby?
July 24th, 2016 - 1:47pmI’m really looking forward to picking this set up. Mainly for all the new variants including the new First, Second, Third, Sixth, Eighth and Ninth Doctor variants. I’m glad the season 18 Fourth Doctor is getting a rerelease as I was never able to get my hands on that figure previously. One thing that annoys me about this set is how on the packaging some of the episodes the figures are based on do not match the picture of each Doctor. For example two big problems are that the Third Doctor variant is apparently from Day of The Daleks according to the picture, yet it says that he’s from The Time Monster which is incorrect as the figure features his bow tie which never wore in either stories, in reality the costume is from The Three Doctors. The second problem is that the Twelfth Doctor variant is according to the description from Deep Breath but the picture of him is taken from Into The Dalek, neither of which match the figure. I can only assume that the pictures and episode names the figures are from according to the packaging reflects that previously we were supposed to see Third Doctor and Twelfth Doctor variants in this set based on The Time Monster and Deep Breath in this set instead of the variants we got, or Character have just got their facts wrong.
Jordan Scott
July 24th, 2016 - 2:50pmI find that annoying too!
WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby?
July 24th, 2016 - 3:23pmYou would’ve thought with a company like Character that they would know what figure is from what episode but then again there could be an explanation behind it. It’s just odd how they managed to get a tiny piece of information wrong and I noticed when this set was announced that the Ninth Doctor variant is also from the wrong episode as well. The description on the packaging lists him as being from The Parting of the Ways yet he never wore a blue/dark purple jumper he wore a black jumper which was included on the figure that came with the Toys R Us exclusive Emperor’s Guard Dalek in 2013. He did however wear a blue/dark purple jumper in The Unquiet Dead, Aliens of London and World War Three, I should know as I asked Al Dewar when he was on Twitter last year if there was a chance that we could see a variant in that jumper and he told me that Christopher Eccleston never wore a jumper in that colour.
Ian
July 24th, 2016 - 3:52pmThe 12th doctor is supposed to be from Time Heighst.
Anonymous
July 24th, 2016 - 3:54pmHence the black shirt.
WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby?
July 24th, 2016 - 4:04pmIt isn’t black in this set, it’s dark blue and yes I know it’s from Time Heist but it doesn’t say that on the packaging. On the packaging it says he’s from Deep Beeath yet the image is from Into the Dalek, neither match the figure.
WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby?
July 24th, 2016 - 4:19pmI meant Deep Breath.
TheDarkAndTheLight
July 24th, 2016 - 6:33pmThis Ninth Doctor variant has a purple jumper, so is from The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances. He wears a navy jumper in the three episodes you mentioned above.
the ergon
July 24th, 2016 - 1:27pmAside from the 3rd doctor in red ,theres very little appeal for me. Had they done the5th/6th doctors from the end of androzani mud splattered or from casual wear in the planet of fire and the two doctors respectibly. Or even the 2nd doctor inpipe stove or shaggy coat from the abominable snowman, but no thanks.

Beat me to it!
The Fishmonger
July 24th, 2016 - 12:29pmThis set really highlights how they dropped the ball on the 12th doctor figure. The height difference is ridiculous. How it got through multiple checks unnoticed is beyond me. (Or did they notice but not care?) I hope any subsequent 12th figures are back in scale. I hope red coated 12th – which must surely happen – is in scale and with a more realistic likeness. But will I be buying this set? You bet I will!
Guest
July 24th, 2016 - 6:26pmThey said somewhere that prior to the release of 12, many of the figures weren’t at realistic heights, Twelve was e first one at actual scale.
Platon29
July 25th, 2016 - 1:49amBut they’re action figures, they’re scaled down. What is is not at a realistic height in comparison to?
The Fishmonger
July 26th, 2016 - 9:31pmYes exactly. All I’m bothered about is, are they to scale with each other? And in the 12th Doctor’s case, it’s clearly not, unless Peter Capaldi is a giant

July 24th, 2016 - 8:57am12’s is just a closed 11’s sonic which we got with the other 12th Doctor figures. Plus the figure is based from time heist so if would be inaccurate.

July 24th, 2016 - 3:45pmSo he got his tv movie sonic, but not the costume :-/
Ian
July 24th, 2016 - 12:47amBoobo which Doctors are you looking forward too the most in this set,? Also do you think the reason for this set is to regenerate interest in the 5″scale with retailers?
booboo
July 24th, 2016 - 2:42am6th, 3rd, 1st,
I think this would already be in the Argos catalogue just out if they were interested
i think the idea is to give people a chance of a set who didn’t get the first one and and to get some of the variants out their that people were asking for
problem is we dont know if there is anything new this year figure wise but they would still want to get some value from their no doubt very expensive master toy licence regardless of their future plans

July 23rd, 2016 - 11:56pmBooboo, do u think this (when online) should be limited to only one per customer, personly, i hope it is, but whats your opinion?

July 24th, 2016 - 2:34amdont think it be that limited for them to do that
booboo
July 24th, 2016 - 2:54amI really doubt it to be honest, unless the quantity is very limited i cant see retailer turning down multiple sales.
It will be around plenty long enough for those who really want one to get one I’m sure

Also, having said that do you think that this set may be limited to one per customer, personaly, I really, REALLY hope it is, but id like to hear your opinion.
