Doctor Who 5.5″ 8th Doctor Action Figure
“I love humans. Always seeing patterns in things that aren’t there.”
The Eighth Doctor was an effortlessly charming, romantic figure. He was unguarded about his background and equally candid about what the future held for people he came into contact with.
Includes..
- Sonic Screwdriver Accessory
- Karn Chalice Accessory (Cup O’ Karn)
- Cass’s Bandolier Accessory (removable)
It seems ironic that so much about this open Doctor remains a closed book…His first adventure took place in San Francisco at the turn of the Millennium with Dr Grace Holloway and Chang Lee in an epic battle with the Master.
Much later, after many adventures with many companions, the 8th Doctors fate is finally sealed during the Time War, as he attempts to rescue a pilot, Cass, whose ship was crashing into the planet Karn.
When Cass realized that the Doctor was a Time Lord and her enemy, she refused his help and allowed the ship crash.

October 10th, 2015 - 5:03pmWould have been interesting if they’d released this figure as a 2 pack with the War Doctor figure, and also have a swappable head of a younger version of the War Doctor to put on this 8th Doctor figures body.

October 10th, 2015 - 5:04pmThey’re repainted Oswins aren’t they? She’s certainly never worn that costume in the show.

October 10th, 2015 - 4:31pmIs this the final clue to the fact 5″ are actually back or what? Haha!
booboo
October 10th, 2015 - 4:59pmthey never really went away
Mechanoid Fan
October 10th, 2015 - 6:01pmJust feels like we went through a phase of hardly any. Just feels so good to have regular announcements back 🙂

October 10th, 2015 - 6:52pmThough I hope they don’t stop the 3.75″ wave
Cyberman Bill
October 11th, 2015 - 2:21amThey’re not stopping the 3.75″ wave

October 10th, 2015 - 3:33pmWow. This looks awesome. Cant wait to get my hands on it.
Balakin
October 10th, 2015 - 3:18pmI don’t like double dipping and I already have the 8th Doctor figure…so I just have to give that away because the NotD version of him is just the best! 😀

October 10th, 2015 - 2:58pmAwesome! Wonder if the head is a pop off. Dear Santa can I have this for Christmas please lol
Anonymous
October 10th, 2015 - 2:47pmFinally…the most wanted figures for last 2 years! This is what we want….not 4 repaints of the 12th Doctor. Thanks for listening CO/UT…finally.

EndlessTimelord
October 10th, 2015 - 2:24pmIs it just me or is every 2 weeks their announcing/ releasing pictures of new 5inch figures? Never the less I hope we continue this pattern and get:
Cyberman (2013-present) and includes swappable cyber danny head, emotion in hibiter (One open and one closed) and attachable arm gun
Ice-Warrior (From Cold War)
Zygon (DOTD, TZI and TZI)
Skovox Blitzer
Davros (TWF and TMA) (Revised paint job and maybe an open eye head)
The 12th Doctor New variants including:
White shirt (With waistcoat)
TMA with Sonic shades and Guitar
UTL, BTF and LC
And him in his red velvet coat
Then a new Clara from flatline.
That is my main wish list. What does everyone else want to see? (I was mean’t to send my comment here not ask a question)
Cyberlord
October 10th, 2015 - 3:16pmThis seems good to me, but I don’t think we will be getting any more 12th doctors any time soon. However, I would like to see figures of:
Osgood,
Kate L-S,
Danny,
The Teller,
Colony Sarff
Also, but unlikely:
Simeon (the great intelligence),
Whisper-man,
Vastra,
Strax,
Jenny
And of coarse, there’s lots more we’d all like made. But this 8th Doctor is amazing!
Cyberlord
October 10th, 2015 - 3:17pmOh, and also, if he is cool, the Fisher King.
TheExtremeBlueTARDIS
October 10th, 2015 - 3:38pmI think the most likely figures to be released in 5″, if it continues like this, are:
Davros (Repaint, with an open eyes head)
Cyberman (2013-)
Zygon (DOTD)
Ice Warrior (Cold War)
Red Supreme Dalek
What I would also like:
The Foretold
Whisperman
Clara (Not a repaint, perhaps from ‘The Magician’s Apprentice’)
Colony Sarf
Ghost (Particularly the Tivolian one)
The Teller
Half-Faced Man

October 10th, 2015 - 3:49pmWe will never see dr simian as e grant never signs off on likeness for anything.
Mechanoid Fan
October 10th, 2015 - 4:31pmI agree with these! We need a cyberman (2013-), Zygon, Ice Warrior etc. Zygomatic are back soon, perfect chance to bring one out!
davrosdestroyer
October 10th, 2015 - 7:55pmmaybe they can release:
deep breath set including: half face man12th doctor in robot disguise with swapable head.
tma/twf set including: davros and doctor swapable body and colony sarff.
new cyberman
zygon
ice warrior
ghost (tivoli)
fisher king
rigsy
rusty
and clara (tma/twf)
davrosdestroyer
October 10th, 2015 - 9:35pmalso…
ghost doctor
dih set including: 12th doctor (white shirt,black cardigan with the invasion cyberman head) cyberman swapable head (danny cyberman) with removable chestplate and clara
dotd set includes: clara (dotd),bad wolf (rose) and zygon.

October 10th, 2015 - 10:10pmthese are all great wish lists but lets face fact – we are not going to be getting much. we will most likely only get
-straight up rereleases such as the red supreme dalek
-slightly tweaked or repainted figures such as series 4 davros with eyes painted on
-brand new figures for significant/ iconic characters only
unfortunately characters like the foretold, the wispermen and the fisher king will most likely never happen
Davrosdestroyer
October 16th, 2015 - 4:38pmI know but imagine getting releases of these and:
robot thing (gwd)
12th doctor space suit (though you could take the 10th doctor spacesuit head off).
osgood (dih).
rusty
and kate.
DoctorSong2016
October 16th, 2015 - 4:44pmI think Osgood and Kate are possible, I mean Osgood is a fan favourite and Kate is in a way an important part of doctor who lore

October 10th, 2015 - 2:24pmI think he needs to look more…dirty

October 10th, 2015 - 5:01pmJust roll him around in the mud in your garden if you want.
cyberdoctor42
October 10th, 2015 - 6:21pmI agree, but a bit of dry-brushing should fix it
Josh anderson
October 10th, 2015 - 2:17pmWill the head be swappable with the 8th doctor head that came with the war doctor?
booboo
October 10th, 2015 - 2:54pmJust don’t know these things are often announced with very little info
Mechanoid Fan
October 10th, 2015 - 2:07pmBooboo, is there no way to preprder? Or do we just wait until it’s out and go to TRU? Also, any idea of a price? Thanks 🙂
booboo
October 10th, 2015 - 2:17pmNot at the moment we will try to find out what’s what next week

TARDISGuy
October 10th, 2015 - 1:57pmEven if this is a 3.75″ figure, I’m still getting it because it looks like the best figure in that scale.
Rusty
October 10th, 2015 - 3:35pmNo need to worry. It’s 5 inch!
CG
October 10th, 2015 - 1:46pmThis looks awesome, ever since they released the new 8th doctor head sculpt with the War Doctor, I have hoped for this or dark eyes figure. Awesome!!
DannyTheNerd
October 10th, 2015 - 1:19pmLooks epic

October 10th, 2015 - 1:01pmThis will be available in the uk, won’t it?
booboo
October 10th, 2015 - 1:38pmYes
Ryan
October 10th, 2015 - 12:55pmOh my goodness. I’m speechless. This year has been spectacular in terms of a renaissance for the 5 inch line, and this would be the absolute icing on the cake.
TARDISGuy
October 10th, 2015 - 12:49pmI hope to god this is real. I love it when unexpected things like this happen. But every time they do I always think I’m dreaming. I really hope I’m not.
I guess I don’t need to make that custom I planning any more.
Anonymous
October 10th, 2015 - 12:49pmThe image looks 3.75 scale and as we already know they are working on that, I suspect this is what this is and not the 5 inch…shame.
booboo
October 10th, 2015 - 12:50pmIt’s been solicited as 5 inch
David
October 10th, 2015 - 12:53pmSeems to have the articulation of a 5″
Anonymous
October 10th, 2015 - 1:09pmthe detail is far too good to be 3.75 inch
David
October 10th, 2015 - 4:14pmHe who must not be named seems to have stated on Twitter we’re getting both 3.75″ and 5.5″ .
This image is of the 3.75″ however apparently.
booboo
October 10th, 2015 - 4:18pmDon’t understand why they would solicit a 5″ figure with a picture of the 3,75″
The Silent Silent
October 10th, 2015 - 4:21pmIf the 3.75″ looks this good we are in for a real treat with the 5″ version !
Anonymous

October 10th, 2015 - 12:14pmBooboo any news on a interior series 9 (with round things) TARDIS (like David tenants not the non electronic disappointment that is the matt smith one)
Anonymous
October 10th, 2015 - 1:37pmIt looks like it is removable. …as it should because technically, the 8th Doctor never wore it, he only picked it up after he regenerated into the War Doctor.
