Limited edition numbered Doctor Who collector’s posters up for grabs at Hamleys Stores across the UK

September 2014 will see a very special Doctor Who event take place at five Hamleys Toy Shops in locations around the UK, when a series of uniquely numbered exclusive posters will be available for fans to get their hands on.

hamleys

The posters are the first and only collector’s posters ever created by the producers of the official Doctor Who figures, Character Options. On each poster the entire collection of 3 ¾ inch figures they have released to date are shown. Only 250 of the posters have been produced for the five Hamleys stores (London Regent Street, Glasgow, Cardiff, Dublin and Manchester) and each is uniquely numbered from 1-250 for authenticity.

The poster has been created to celebrate the launch of the latest series of Doctor Who figures, which have been produced to commemorate the new TV series and the brand new Twelfth Doctor played by Peter Capaldi. With fans always eager to get their hands on any unique Doctor Who memorabilia, they are bound to be popular.

To be eligible fans must purchase an item from Hamleys’ Doctor Who collection. The posters will be available as a free gift with that purchase but only while stocks last. There is no minimum spend, but as the gift is so unique it is restricted to one per customer.

Grant Yuill, Marketing Manager of Hamleys commented; “Our free limited edition Doctor Who poster day is a very exciting event for our shops. Doctor Who has so many fans that like to collect the figures and other memorabilia but now with the chance of owning one of these very exclusive posters we expect there to be a huge demand. What’s more we have an added bonus of 25 goodie bags for fans that come dressed in Doctor Who costume. These will be distributed free of charge on a first come first served basis.”

    I’m pretty happy about this, even though It means the masses of this site probably won’t get one themselves until next week (I would hope so anyway). It means we’ll at least get to see some in hand images of the figure itself and maybe a couple reviews by tomorrow night.

      I have a spare poster booboo, (purchased all of wave 3, except Amy because there weren’t any on display in the morning, then during a break from Daleking I noticed they’d put stock out, which is why I ended up with two). No idea of the number as I haven’t opened the tube, but it’s yours if you want it…

      Yeah, that’s what I thought but it couldn’t be another new figure already could it? And the gold Dalek was there so I think it must be.

    Booboo, if you were to make a choice out of either the 12th Doctor in costume or the poster, which one would you get? I really think I should leave early, buy 12 and forget about the poster…

    • The Twelfth Doctor

      At Glasgow they don’t start giving the posters way until 12, but by then all the twelfth doctors might be sold out.

    • booboo

      September 18th, 2014 - 8:08pm

      pick one up and wander around for 3 hours

    • The Twelfth Doctor

      September 18th, 2014 - 8:11pm

      Do you think 12 will be popular before the posters are given away?

    • booboo

      September 18th, 2014 - 8:14pm

      i would think so, also depends on just how many they have

    • alexanderop

      September 18th, 2014 - 8:13pm

      12th Doctor definitely, I don’t particularly mind about getting a poster.

    • booboo

      September 18th, 2014 - 8:15pm

      you will always be able to buy the 12th Doctor some other time – but not the poster

      the main shipment cant be far away

    • The Twelfth Doctor

      September 18th, 2014 - 8:32pm

      Thanks guys. So basically, I should go when they start giving away the posters and not get my hopes up, but hopefully I’ll be surprised at the sight of the twelfth doctor? Hehe 🙂

    • FEoD

      September 19th, 2014 - 7:08pm

      Sorry, I think the “giving away the posters starting at 12:00 in Glasgow” thing is my fault. Transport complications have prevented the Dalek being there any earlier and they obviously the regional manager wants to tie the two things in…

    • The Twelfth Doctor

      September 20th, 2014 - 9:40am

    September 18th, 2014 - 6:10pm

    I wonder if the “huge stock shipment” will ring true for how many figures Hamleys will have available for sale on the day. If theres a chance I could go I would like to think I would be able to get one if not the poster.

    Though this figure will soon be everywhere I personally don’t like the feeling of other people getting it early, personally I feel it a bit unfair especially with how few Hamley’s shops there are (1 and half hours to nearest one for me).
    With a lot of merchandise lately it feels like you have to rush to get things as you don’t know how rare it will be, I mean it basically says that in the description.
