    I just bought the pack of 6 from Amazon – but annoyed CO don’t seem able to distribute their products to actual shops!! And as for Doctor Who Character Building – don’t get me started!! It’s probably alright if you live near forbidden planet… Shame they dominate the market in my opinion.

      Forbidden Planet had the Doctor, Clara, Ice Warrior and Dalek. But no Weeping Angels or Cybermen. John Lewis had nothing.

    The TARDIS is very flimsy and the door wouldn’t stay open. I got a refund and went and bought an old 5″ figure set from 2005 with 9th Doctor and 2 radio controlled Daleks, 10th Doctor’s sonic screwdriver torch, 2 target novels and a black dalek Sec from a collectors shop. I’m not going to buy this figure range.

      ..the hype for these is getting worse, just saw a post on YouTube of the figures, my worst fears have come true, the Doctor looks exactly as bad as he did in the prototypes, all other figures are ok, but Character Options have really dropped the ball on this one, I’ll wait final judgment until I will see them in the shops, but to fudge the main character like this is not good at all…

      My TARDIS has a nice solid feel to it, not flimsy at all. And I have no problems getting the doors to stay open.

    • Fez Master

      May 31st, 2013 - 6:58pm

      When I say flimsy I mean it didn’t feel as strong or sturdy as the 5″ police boxes.

    I am a bit stuck for choice. What should I do?

    Keep my order of Forbidden planet which is still processing?

    Order it from Character?

    Or look for them around the shops?

    I would really appreciate what you think i should do with this. My order is still processing and I am not sure what to do.

      ..keep your order, I live in Norwich and I’m an avid toy-hunter, the excellent ‘Television and Movie store’ here won’t have then until next week or week after, I think that all retailers except Forbidden Planet and Character themselves won’t have them until next weekend…
      Toys R’ Us here put out the new 5″ Doctor and Dalek two-packs, but have all there stock out now until next Friday…
      Argos has the 3.75 Tardis, it’s i stock here in Norwich, but marked up as £25:99.! (Twice as much as regular retail, so AVOID)…
      Hope that helps…

    Going into town in a bit to see if I can hunt these down. My local independant toy store who normally gets figures in early isn’t getting these in till late next week. But going to check forbidden planet just after lunch to see if they have got their delivery in, if not, I’m going to go down to Argus and see if they have any sign of them, probably pushing my luck there,but who knows.

      @ hacker – I know, but the same thing happened with the 2010 Tardis Playset, it wasn’t due out for about a week, but they code was released for it and you could reserve one as that’s what I did, so just wondering if the same might have happened with these and they might have their stock in early

      @ WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby I noticed that, and my FP is pretty good at getting stock in on release day, just hope that they have been delivered today and I can pick some up, otherwise I won’t have anything to review on my YouTube channel today!

      They are all so cool hopefully get the last two soon 😀

      At first i thought they would be really small and flimsy however when they come out the cool packages they are actually really good! Brilliant buy!!! Character opitions have done good for themselves!!!

      I just don’t know :/ were they definately £8.99 in final frontier? And how good are they compared to 5 inch? I just think they are too small! :/ but I am so tempted!!

    • Tardispals

      June 1st, 2013 - 5:15pm

      They are deffo £8.99 however at first i was like that for these however they do look really good and the detail is amazing. Compared to the 5″ i would say height is the only think different as these are easily posable apart from the legs. They do feel really quite strong so i cannot see them breaking. They fit perfectly on the stands which i think is a nice improvement because before with the 5″ figures one of them would fall down and then the rest would go to. You can still stand these up without the stand though clara might be a problem to.:3
