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 21st, 2014 - 2:04pmI think I prefer the first head sculpt of the 12th Doctor. It just looks a little but more like Capaldi to me.

September 21st, 2014 - 12:46pmthat 12th doctor’s leg is really wonky- I don’t think its meant to be like that

September 20th, 2014 - 10:33pmBooboo I don’t suppose you have heard when the updated Tardis is coming out? The one with the white windows and correct 12th Dr console room insert.

September 20th, 2014 - 10:33pmLooks like it was a great event, totally not jealous 😆 (joke).
From the pictures Capaldi doesn’t look too good, he looks like a gangly teenager and he seems to have a bit of a blank face which I don’t really like with figures (I prefer them to have a bit of personality). I also think the figure would stand out a bit more in burgundy shirt rather than all black.
Looks a lot of fantastic stuff was given out in that goody bag and poster, just wish it was like Toys R’ us or Argos that did this event 🙁 Hope people enjoyed themselves anyway!
Ian
September 20th, 2014 - 10:30pmI hope all those that went to Hamleys got the 12th Dr. Hate to think people missing out cause of scalpers.

September 21st, 2014 - 9:58amI got it. I ended up with two posters by buying a Tennant.

September 21st, 2014 - 11:53amI suppose many were like yes. Woo. But I would if I would’ve gone but I am grateful for the fact that many sent in pics – but still he does look a bit fed up with himself in the packaging. I hope they release the red lining version. Suppose I could customise or buy a spare 11th or 12th Doctor regenerated. I want to buy a few of this figure. Purple paint – Black – dark blue. Variations of his costume. Ah glad to see finally Character finally paint the 11th doctors sonic. Missing the green at the end. But phew finally.

September 20th, 2014 - 10:16pmThe paint on the sonic looks to have been greatly improved

September 20th, 2014 - 10:13pmI really hope the green coat doctor pictured is a mock up and what’s with 12th’s legs ( they seem to stick out a bit )

September 21st, 2014 - 11:54amI hope to spot these in Toys R Us or FP if anyone is lucky. I do remember seeing the black domed dalek but just given it a miss.

September 20th, 2014 - 7:12pmOh they had lots in Glasgow and I believe there are some left that they are selling tomorrow because they still have spare posters

September 20th, 2014 - 7:23pmThe head mould looks nothing like him. The original was much better and should have just been reused. And disappointedly, mine’s has two left feet.

September 21st, 2014 - 4:24pmit was a prototype.
Ian
September 20th, 2014 - 6:37pmThe pics at the top are mine, could someone tell me if the legs on their ones are OK. Mine are kind of bent, makes him look bandy.
Hamleys have told me in an email that they are extending the promotion so if anyone missed out they still have a chance.
alexanderop
September 20th, 2014 - 6:28pmNice pics, can’t wait for all the customs that are gonna be made of this figure. I mean for a Time Heist variant for instance all you have to do is colour his shirt in dark blue/black 😀

September 20th, 2014 - 5:43pmI have checked FP and no Peter yet although there were Amys, Tennants and Daleks 😀
Ian
September 20th, 2014 - 10:28pmA friend was in TRU today, he said nothing much new apart from what TheDoctorWhovian said was in FP.
I think Hamleys will have the exclusive on this figure for a few more days.
