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
· Cardiff – 27th September 2014 from 9:30am
· Dublin – 28th September from 10am

About the poster
The posters have been created in collaboration with Character Options, Hamleys and BBC Worldwide and depict the entire 3¾ inch figures series from May 2013 to end December 2014.

September 25th, 2014 - 6:15pmDoes glasgow still have the figure in store
obey the whispermen
September 25th, 2014 - 4:50pmhow much is the postage
Chris
September 25th, 2014 - 4:33pmGot my poster and Twelfth Doctor figure from Hamleys Manchester today. I wonder if the posters are given out in order. There’s no number to identify which poster it is on the tube, but I thought they’d have had a system to give them out in order, so the first customer receives the 2nd poster, for example (the poster labelled 1 of 250 being held back for charity auction). Mine’s number 162 of 250.
mick
September 25th, 2014 - 4:41pmif its not numbered on the tube then probably just given at random.

September 25th, 2014 - 11:24pmStrange but It seems Hamleys Manchester charge different amounts on postage I paid £3.95 for postage after but other people are saying they have paid £4.95 and also £3.95 but when I first called they said it would be £5.00 do they make it up depending who you get on the phone line lol ?
DoctorQue
September 25th, 2014 - 2:06pmDo Hamleys London still have plenty of the 12th Doctor in stock? Will be stopping by tomorrow if they do.
Davide Edinburgh
September 25th, 2014 - 1:14pmPosting out, knowing there were only 250 of these sold in 5 stores, means the event wasn’t that successful, am I wrong? Or at least not many people turned out…
booboo
September 25th, 2014 - 1:17pm250 per store – that’s a lot of sales for a single product line to expect on one day
Davide Edinburgh
September 25th, 2014 - 9:23pmI thought 250 in total, thank you. Anyway, I phoned Glasgow, the guy said they are not posting
booboo
September 25th, 2014 - 9:24pmthey posted to me an several others – got my figures this morning from them
toptimelord
September 25th, 2014 - 11:29amI’m really excited now as I just ordered my Twelfth Doctor figure from Hamleys!
Jared
September 25th, 2014 - 3:56amHey everyone, I usually read the comments but thought I’d post for once. Can anyone find out if Hamleys would be willing to ship internationally to Canada? Otherwise, can someone order one for me and I’ll pay them back in full over paypal (postage and shipping) included? You guys seem like a trusting lot, I’d really not like to pay those nasty e-bay prices…
(Booboo, I’ll remove this post if it’s not appropriate for the site. Apologies if it is)
booboo
September 25th, 2014 - 7:35amthey might i would ring them
Jared
September 25th, 2014 - 8:34pmThanks Booboo. I called but they don’t ship BFPO. Oh well. Guess I’ll have to wait until it’s in the BBC shop.
luke kelly

Jack
September 24th, 2014 - 7:17pmIn case anyone is wondering Hamleys Manchester still have the poster and the new doctor figure they are still taking phone orders for them. Thanks so much for this post letting us know about this.
SUPERWHO
September 24th, 2014 - 7:36pmthanks for letting me know, do you know how many they had left
Jack
September 24th, 2014 - 7:48pmNo idea but it sounded like they had plenty left. The guy in the phone was a forum user lol when I asked if they had any left the first thing he said was ‘are you from the forum?’ Lol and ensured me it was the brand new 12th doctor figure not the regenerated. I didn’t even have to ask. He said people have been calling all day and they have been able to provide every caller with a figure and poster. So it sounds like they have plenty. It was £12 for the figure with poster which included postage.
booboo
September 24th, 2014 - 8:11pmmust be here, i have not even seen it mentioned on any of the big toy forums
Jack
September 24th, 2014 - 8:26pmYeah it was this site. He said it has been good because he has got to talk to doctor who fans and fellow forum users all day 🙂

Exterminator

ThePixelatedDalek

Anonymous
September 23rd, 2014 - 3:55pmCan you get the new series 8 tardis from hamleys or is it not available yet?
Also have any of the chase variants been spotted?
booboo
September 23rd, 2014 - 3:56pmunless there is a top up, i dont see how many chance variants would be left on the shelves to be honest
Exterminator
September 23rd, 2014 - 4:28pmWhat chase variants? Do you mean the gold dalek and green coat 11th Dr?
booboo
September 23rd, 2014 - 4:29pmi assume they mean the original 6 from wave 1
Exterminator
September 23rd, 2014 - 4:35pmOh right, can shops still order wave 1 then? Because the chase variants were in that wave.
Anybody know if hamleys had figures from all 3 waves?
Owsi
September 23rd, 2014 - 1:58pmDo you have to buy something to get one?
Exterminator
September 23rd, 2014 - 2:32pmYes, any Dr who toy. Posters are limited supply.
Exterminator
September 23rd, 2014 - 1:49pmI hope as many people as possible get these. 🙂
Tom
September 23rd, 2014 - 1:29pmwhen will the 12th doctor figure be available at toys r us or any of the forbidden planet websites?
booboo

they will need to call you back
StetsonDoctor
September 23rd, 2014 - 1:33pmHow does that work? Are you put on a waiting list or something?
booboo
September 23rd, 2014 - 1:38pmjust phone and cash desk will phone you back – go for it
Exterminator

Exterminator
September 23rd, 2014 - 1:44pmBooBoo, you’ve missed the 1 off the end of the Manchester hamleys phone number.
It’s 020 747 836 71.
booboo
September 23rd, 2014 - 1:46pmyes i posted it to quick, changed it now
Where In Time And Space
September 23rd, 2014 - 1:56pmHope to see some more pics. Going to Cardiff Saturday. I will try to get more pics.
Chris
September 23rd, 2014 - 2:06pmDo Hamleys Manchester have a large amount of posters and Twelfth Doctor’s in stock then Booboo? Or is there only a few left?
Exterminator
September 23rd, 2014 - 2:12pmManchester store did have about 60 of the 12th Dr figures left and some posters when I spoke to them.
Chris
September 23rd, 2014 - 2:16pmWhen was this?
Exterminator
September 23rd, 2014 - 2:33pmI spoke to the assistant manager at the Manchester hamleys store about an hour ago and she told me.
Chris
September 23rd, 2014 - 2:39pmAh. Any idea on roughly how many posters were left? I’m thinking of ringing reserving a figure and poster as I had already planned to go in a few days.
Exterminator
September 23rd, 2014 - 2:42pmShe didn’t say how many posters just said “some left”. If I were you I’d phone and get them to post a 12th Dr figure and poster to you whilst they still have them. It’s only £3.95 p&p.
Chris
September 23rd, 2014 - 2:46pmDo you think they would just let me reserve them though? If I’m going in in a couple of days time then it saves me the p&p, plus if the Doctor figure’s quality control is a little dodgy then if there’s any left I can swap it for a better one.
booboo
September 23rd, 2014 - 2:55pmhonestly dont know
we are miles from any Hamleys so I’m just glad we can do this
Tom
September 23rd, 2014 - 2:51pmi managed to get one thank you for the people who told me who to phone
Chris
September 23rd, 2014 - 3:50pmJust phoned and reserved a poster and Twelfth Doctor figure, for collecting on Thursday. 😀
Doctor RevWho
September 23rd, 2014 - 7:23amIt looks like they’re using a different head sculpt on Peter Capaldi than the one on the regeneration figure. No idea why they’d do that. The regeneration head looked great, just like Capaldi. This one looks a little like him but not much. Are they likely to do a 5 inch Twelfth Doctor figure?
cheesy pie
September 23rd, 2014 - 7:08amthis looks so cool! 🙂
drwhocollector
September 22nd, 2014 - 9:17pmcan you buy the 12th dr figure on the website
booboo
September 22nd, 2014 - 10:01pmthey dont seem to have any figures
Jordan Whovian
September 22nd, 2014 - 4:41pmLooks awful but good at the same time. Legs are wonky and no red lining but you can tell its Capaldi and same with the costume.
CassiusX
September 22nd, 2014 - 7:26amThe figure looks about OK, however, without the red lining it looks a bit dull. I suppose if you really want the red lining, the best thing to do is paint them on.
Doctorwho
September 21st, 2014 - 11:30pmWhy is his legs all wonky
TheDoctor
September 21st, 2014 - 4:02pmwhat’s up with that head sculpt? it looks nothing like him! 🙁
