52toys to Showcase 1/12 Scale Doctor Who Figures at SDCC
According to social media reports 52toys intend to showcase a new range of 1/12 scale Doctor Who Figures under the Figlite Banner at SDCC.
1/12 scale would make them slightly larger than the CO figures and they may not be easily available in the UK depending on licensing and other issues.
Time will tell.
Will will of course add them to the site if and when they become available to order.

July 19th, 2026 - 9:05pmSlightly larger figures would be great. They’ll match up with GI Joe Classified and Marvel figures Hasbro releases. I am looking forward to having 10 and 11 hanging out with Joe team…heck, Daleks working with Cobra will be awesome too! Sadly, if they are $40 a pop, I won’t get any as I have all the Character Options Doctors…

July 20th, 2026 - 3:21pmHello Derek, Im Not 100% sure, but looking at Comments below those New 6 Inch Figures might be £40, so that would be alot more in Dollars.(Unfortunately).

July 14th, 2026 - 2:15pmIf these are 1/12 scale that would make them smaller than CO, working off a baseline of a 6ft person 60 inches tall would give a 5-inch tall figure.

July 14th, 2026 - 2:22pmother way round, 6″ as apposed to 5.5″ probably like the Torchwood figures a bit

July 14th, 2026 - 4:38pm6 feet converts to 72 inches, not 60, so that’s where the discrepancy is coming from.

July 14th, 2026 - 5:19pmThe Big Chief/Master Replicas 12 inch Dr Who Figures were 1:6 Scale so 1:12 Figures half the Size to 6 inch.

July 10th, 2026 - 1:13pmNot being available easily to hands down Doctor Whos biggest Audience is a massive nail in the coffin before the line has even launched, Yet people will say its a sign of the decline in the popularity of Doctor Who, but as with the CO figures if you’re only selling in B&M and online your actual market is tiny
Scotel
July 10th, 2026 - 1:43pmIt’s a decline in the popularity of action figures. They are a collector’s market now, not something for the kids. These are targeting a smaller niche within that.
For anyone thinking it’s Doctor Who go take a look at the toy aisle in your local supermarket. Mine is all cheap tat, cuddly toys and Funko Pops. B&M seem to be the only ones still investing in their toy aisles.

July 9th, 2026 - 9:49am@Jonny – I’d be surprised if there was much merchandise in US stores even before the merch started winding down. The only place that I know in the US that regularly stocked Who stuff was WhoNA.

July 8th, 2026 - 10:33pm52Toys is I believe Chinese company.
They have Aliens, Predator and Capcom video game characters in this line ,they are highly articulated with very smooth joints.
They haven’t shown an actors likeness yet ,so I’m interested to see how these turn out.
Price wise should be just over £40.00.
Places like Kapow Toys have carried their figures.

July 12th, 2026 - 5:20pmYeah, £40 for a Six inch Figure, I can imagine that will go down well with alot of the Dr Who Community.

July 8th, 2026 - 8:56pmSo I’m guessing this is for America? If so, I think that’s nice considering they can’t really get the CO line over there any more so at least they’ve got *a* company making figures for the US market. 🙂

July 8th, 2026 - 10:37pmInteresting. Even though I’m American and I can’t find Doctor Who stuff hardly anywhere in stores anymore, I keep getting told by fans online that the creative decisions of the last decade have not wrecked Doctor Who and that it’s still extremely popular with plenty of merchandise in every store in America. Strange that.

July 8th, 2026 - 11:09pmAs long as you know it is US legislation that is preventing CO exporting their figures to the US.
davidhhh
July 9th, 2026 - 12:57pmWell, it’s not really legislation. The administration is doing all sorts of bad things without legislative approval. The illegal tariffs were struck down by the Supreme Court, but that doesn’t stop them. CO should be able to send stuff to America now, but they’re probably wary of what illegal things will be done next and are unwilling to gamble on things being done legally by people who don’t think that the law and the Constitution applies to them.
Off topic here, obviously, but it’s relevant to why we can’t get CO stuff here.

July 9th, 2026 - 1:06pmits actually more to do with new safety regulations and testing before toys enter the USA which is financially unviable on a small scale.

July 9th, 2026 - 12:58pmThere are plenty of things to be mad about in politics, but I never thought that preventing me from getting a Liz Shaw or Dugga Doo figure would be one of them!
