Doctor Who 5.5″ Bill Potts Collector Figure

Available to order exclusively from www.amazon.co.uk

Our own images of the production figure with thanks to Character.

Doctor Who 06690 Bill Potts Collector Figure

  • Recreate scenes from Doctor Who
  • Fully articulated
  • Highly detailed
  • 5.5 inch Scale
  • For ages 5 years and over

Bill Potts wants her life to be about more than serving chips.

The cleverest person in the University canteen, but never a student, Bill lives with her Foster Mum Maria, and thinks exciting things happen to other people.

But when Bill makes a connection with Student Heather she soon finds herself dragged into a creepy and dangerous world that revolves around a mysterious and inexplicable puddle. There’s something wrong with her reflection…but what?

In searching for the answer, she discovers that the Lecturer who’s taken her under his wing is actually a time travelling alien who’s about to take her on the trip of a lifetime to get to the truth.

    What if this isn’t the company and this is just someone making a listing and they plan to resell it when it comes out. It would explain the odd price.

    So glad the Bill figure is actually happening! 😀 Won’t get my hopes up too much for Nardole though. Is this the final price? Seems a little odd.

      Intriguing. I can’t help but feel this figure was always intended to be mass market, available in a similar manner to 10th Doctor in Tuxedo and Hoodie 12th Doctors. Clearly something went wrong, and somehow Amazon have picked it up. Will be interesting to see if Character Online also sell it.

    • booboo

      February 20th, 2018 - 5:55pm

      the 10th doctor and 12th hoodies were never intended to be mass market but more FP exclusives and UT in the USA until they cancelled

      still think Bill was heading for the same market until the UT demise (and could well have been the “cancelled” figure) and CO had to find a new partner

    • Omega63

      February 20th, 2018 - 6:13pm

      Even so I think it was nice to see those figures on sites like Zavvi, Character Online, in FP stores and at the time the Experience store. I mean obviously ideally it’d be slightly more mass market than that but it was still nice to see.

      Tbh I find it difficult to see how the brand will manage now, in merchandise anyway, with Toys R Us declining rapidly I can’t help but think the potential paths are closing slowly overtime.

    • booboo

      February 20th, 2018 - 6:21pm

      that’s because the entire stock destined for the USA market had to be sold out cheaply to the UK

      Take the 13 doctors set, 600 UK allocation sets sold out in a month yet now half price a year and half later in the USA

      shows the appalling lack of commitment to the UK market in years past by retailers

      If this is real, I hope this isn’t gonna have a limited release and run out before I have a chance to get it like NotD 8, gonna hold out till I know its official.

      because its probably an exclusive, no exclusives are ever at the toy fair, i mean why would you show something to retailers that they cant buy

      Exclusive items are sometimes shown at US toy fairs, but they are a whole different kettle of fish.

      well as far as i know Amazon are not in the habit of making things up, would be a poor show by all parties concerned if this is a red herring and previous exclusives have been £14.99 plus post this is £13.87 with free post for prime members so hardly expensive

    • Anonymous

      February 20th, 2018 - 5:16pm

      But for last year’s wave of figures they were £9.99? I’m not going to order one yet just as it doesn’t seem 100% right. Please tell me if anyone recieves theirs 🙂

    • booboo

      February 20th, 2018 - 5:25pm

      last years wave had already gone into production and had do be sold out at CO expense on general release because UT cancelled the orders for the entire USA market, for all we know CO made a loss on these

      I can tell you for a fact they were all destined for FP at £14.99

      anyone taking on an exclusive wants to get a good return for their investment Bill is also probably a limited run and one off figure.

    • The Werewolf

      February 20th, 2018 - 5:24pm

      They were reduced to 9.99 to accommodate the US stock in the UK. They were supposed to cost 14.99

    • Anonymous

      February 20th, 2018 - 7:42pm

      Yikes. I always thought that £14.99 was too much.

    • prototype dalek

      February 21st, 2018 - 8:23am

      I remember when some of the individual classic figures use to be £18.99 for the single figures such as the 6th Doctor Regenerated and Leela “Face of Evil”.

    If it is really already up for preorder, I’m ecstatic about this news and I hope it leads into a whole new wave.

      there is nothing to loose by ordering to be honest but that’s my point, people hesitate because of the lack of info and those on the fringes may mean lost sales, I know, impulse purchases can make or break.

  • WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby?

    February 20th, 2018 - 3:50pm

    I wasn’t expecting this, I have never known Amazon to list 5” figures before FP. I wonder if there will be anymore figures or it’s just this one? If it is just this then it makes sense because it was probably months into production and too late to cancel which is why we may be getting just this figure and no others. I think it’ll be packaged in the standard collector’s series packaging as the branding hasn’t been released yet for Series 11 so it’s unlikely the figure will come packaged in anything relating to the next series.

      we still dont know if its exclusive, the term coming up against a brick wall springs to mine right now

    • WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby?

      February 20th, 2018 - 4:00pm

      This is a different approach from CO when it comes to releasing 5” figures as they’ve been known to release them through FP or TRU, there’s nothing to say though that FP won’t sell it but I doubt TRU will with their recent financial situation. Is this what you meant during the week of London Toy Fair when you said stuff was definitely coming but you weren’t allowed to say?

    • booboo

      February 20th, 2018 - 4:05pm

      something like that

      I still think Bill was developed months ago with UT and FP as the retailers but the split put pay to that and CO had to find a new retailer if she was ever to get released which they seem to have now done

      this listing strikes me as a “pre press release” listing so its ready to link to when all the info/images come out.

      ifs that correct it should be immanent

    • WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby?

      February 2nd, 2018 - 1:45pm

      It seems like reports of what “may” have been there have been greatly exaggerated. There have been many different posts on social media either claiming that nothing was there or that there was but it was being shown to retailers. It really is anyone’s guess as to if there was anything shown in a conference/secret room or not. There could’ve been something being shown to retailers, but without images or confirmation the information is sketchy. We don’t even know for definite if there was a Thirteenth Doctor figure there or not and if there was what scale it’s in and what costume, I suspect it would’ve been her main costume. I’m not sure where the rumour of there being a Thirteenth Doctor figure there originated from in the first place, it could easily have been people assuming there was one on display there, which I’m not saying there wasn’t but there isn’t enough information to prove it and the only people who really know aren’t allowed to disclose the information.
