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.
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.”
The posters were available from the following stores on the selected dates;
· London Regent Street – 20th September 2014 from 9:30am
· Manchester – 20th September 2014 from 9:30am
· Glasgow – 20th September 2014 from 9am

September 20th, 2014 - 3:06pmI wonder if he might go up for sale on the BBCShop soon.

September 20th, 2014 - 3:11pmAlso, did anyone take a picture of what the setup was for the toy section? Did they just have a load of 12th Doctors lined up together? I’m really interested to know what it looked like and how many they had in stock.

September 20th, 2014 - 2:51pmIs there any news about any of the other stores? Around the uk?

September 20th, 2014 - 2:22pmLast time I went to the London one (biggest in the world), there was hardly any Doctor Who merch. It would be a struggle to get anything, so your chances of getting this are very limited.

September 20th, 2014 - 2:12pmBooboo, apparently there is a new TV Advert with Amy, 10, Daleks and Peter!

September 20th, 2014 - 1:55pmSo is that 250 in each store or 250 between all 5
booboo
September 20th, 2014 - 7:06pm250 each
Trenzalore
September 20th, 2014 - 7:20pmAnd does each shop have a different design like it says in the description? They all look the same so far.
booboo
September 20th, 2014 - 7:22pmlooks like they have the stores name on them
Trenzalore
September 20th, 2014 - 7:23pmOh right 😆 I was expecting like completely different designs for each shop 😆

September 20th, 2014 - 1:40pmI went to Hamleys in Manchester, very welcoming there. I got two posters and two 12th Doctors (one each for a friend) and the goodie bag is brilliant. A4 Dr Who ring binder, Character build 50th Anniversary figure and Deep Breath DVD. They also took my photo as I am in the Guinness book of records. 😀

September 20th, 2014 - 1:38pmthe 12th doctor figure looks great I cant wait until I get my own
I think the coat needs to be longer though
Sam Richard Bentley
September 20th, 2014 - 3:17pmI don’t know how long you think his coat is, but the coat of the figure is fine.

September 20th, 2014 - 1:36pmHi I went to the Hamleys store in Glasgow to pick up the new Peter Capaldi 12th dr who action figure. I was there at 9am today. The only one they didnt have in stock was the Peter Capaldi dr who variant with the red jacket opened showing the red lining ? I checked them all and there was no variants at all !!!
Where In Time And Space
September 20th, 2014 - 3:36pmI don’t think that was released . Sorry ;(

September 20th, 2014 - 4:35pmI don’t think it’s released yet
TheWarDoctor
September 20th, 2014 - 4:50pmThat was a prototype… its not being released…
Explosive Cookie
September 20th, 2014 - 5:06pmThat one was only a prototype, the one above is the only variant of 12.
Babyface
September 20th, 2014 - 1:30pmAnybody seen the green coat 11th yet?

September 20th, 2014 - 1:20pmwhat toys did they have
Where In Time And Space
September 20th, 2014 - 1:18pmWhat was the price for the figure in each place
Button
September 20th, 2014 - 2:17pmMine was £8.00
Button
September 20th, 2014 - 2:24pmThat was from the Trafford Centre, but do expect the prices to be anything but forgiving when they find their way to Ebay.
Shaun
September 20th, 2014 - 2:48pmI got my Capaldi figure for £8 at Manchester Trafford Centre. Shame his coat seems a dark purple shade rather than black! No gold dalek from DOTD or green coated 11th Doctor, even though they are on the poster…
Nicholas
September 20th, 2014 - 3:27pmPeter’s coat is actually a dark blue, which wouldn’t be too far off a deep purple
SUPERWHO
September 20th, 2014 - 1:02pmany left at Manchester?
The Twelfth Doctor
September 20th, 2014 - 12:52pmJust got back from the Glasgow event. Got a 12th Doctor figure and a poster. Lovely Jubbly!
William Stewart
September 20th, 2014 - 4:57pmWho where you at the event? Where you the guy dressed as 11 and was the first to get it?
The Twelfth Doctor
September 20th, 2014 - 5:46pmNo. I got there early (about 11) and was allowed a poster early by the lovely members of staff. So, the guy who was first to get it was probably second.

September 20th, 2014 - 2:18pmPrice range must differ from store to store, but you cannot argue with the likeness of Capaldi!
