B&M 2024 Remembrance of the Daleks – Emperor Davros
This set is due in-store in September.
As a last resort you can search for this set on www.ebay.co.uk
Character Options is delighted to reveal details of the first Doctor Who Collector Sets for B&M Stores, for 2024. Available in September, these two exciting new sets will be the perfect addition to any fan’s collection.
For fans of one of the Doctor’s most feared enemies, the first set boasts the fearsome Emperor Davros Collector Figure, and to further sate the demand from fans of the Daleks, the second offering is a new History of the Daleks set. Each pack features a comprehensive description, accompanied with details on the inspiration behind a summary of which is below.
As all fans know, Davros is the creator of the Doctor’s deadliest enemies, the Daleks. In this special set, the evil genius is depicted as in the 1988 (Corrected from 1982 in the press release) episode “Remembrance of the Daleks” partially mutated with one functioning hand, a cybernetic eye mounted on his forehead he is encased in his self-designed cream and gold support chair in place of his lower body – this mobile chair inspired his design of the Daleks. The box comes complete with a gold limited edition seal and an inner back drop that sets the scene for the Emperor Davros’s evil doings to come.
These new sets will be available in the coming weeks at local B&M Stores. The retail price will be determined by the store.

September 18th, 2024 - 12:40pmThere’s a shuttle on the map. Does it mean anything?
John
September 18th, 2024 - 1:34pmHopefully a container ship from China!

September 17th, 2024 - 4:24amDo we know which shops will have which yet? I don’t want to pay ebay prices if I can avoid it.
mick
September 15th, 2024 - 3:31pmAccording to the store system there are over 12 thousand of these. So hopefully no need to pay eBay prices of £40 to £50 when it retails at £12.99
Ddwho
September 15th, 2024 - 4:53pmAny news on release date?
WhoCollector
September 15th, 2024 - 5:07pmGotta feeling it will be significantly reduced in that case… i mean, how many double packs are usually produced? Seems like they sit around for ages. Also are we sure its not 3000 of each set?.. since there are four sets this year?
WhoCollector
September 15th, 2024 - 5:12pmAlso this better not be the reason for less sets (more of the davros produced than usual) , if it is, its a bit of a silly move given how the last couple years have gone.
Tom Williams
September 15th, 2024 - 5:14pmVery chuffed too see this 🙂 espically give more the high chance when it arrives for people too get it better now
WhoCollector
September 15th, 2024 - 5:21pmAlso, yeah it is a good thing for people – not gonna dispute that with anyone, its clear as a crystal. My concern stems from how it will affect future waves, as they are bound to sit around for ages. No one needs to army build emperor davros figures. Not gonna go well, if im honest, as sort as it is. Now, if they done that for the parting of the ways set (provided it has new attachments) – it may stand a better chance. Ultimately, i dont want b&m to stop doing the “better” waves of figures, but that depends on sales of each wave.
mick
September 15th, 2024 - 6:51pmDefinitely said 12 thousand davros figures will check on the amounts for the other 3 sets tomorrow
mick
September 16th, 2024 - 11:20amDavros 12108 sets
Resurrection 10230 sets
Friends and foes 9270 sets
Parting of the ways 9270 sets

September 16th, 2024 - 11:31amNo arrived at central warehouse yet
Snowman
September 16th, 2024 - 12:48pmJust Curios Mick, Why the totally random numbers.
(Why not just a Straight 12,000 or 9,000 etc)?
Bobby Davros
September 16th, 2024 - 12:50pmSounds like a Sorcerers Apprentice type scenario at the factory (the Disney film not the Moffat episode)
The DR.
September 16th, 2024 - 1:29pmCome on Guys, hurry up. It’s my Birthday next week. I didn’t know what I wanted, then I realized these figures should be released soon, so I thought I would have these as my Present. (Plus the other Two sets as a Christmas presents)
WhoCollector
September 16th, 2024 - 1:35pmSo let me get this straight… They made LESS of the army building sets, and more of the “single” type figures… Expect next years wave to be poor. These will sit around. Im not being pessimistic, im being realistic… given what happened with the abysmal triple tennant packs at one point. That killed the three packs regular releases.
WhoCollector
September 16th, 2024 - 1:45pmIn other news, I’ll check b&m at the end of the year during sales. Lol. I grabbed a load of remembrance sets when they were £13 during the 20% off figures & lego week. Got rid of the supremes and kept the renegades
Snowman
September 16th, 2024 - 1:57pmI think this Year’s Waves have been poor Who collector and Considerably less sets aswell.
I think this is a Knock on Effect from last Year’s poor sales.
mick
September 16th, 2024 - 2:04pmI don’t know why the odd numbers just going by what it says on the store system. Davros is 12 to a box all the other 3 are 6 to a box
WhoCollector
September 16th, 2024 - 2:04pmFor sure, perhaps these were produced in such big quantities as they expected a resurgence in the doctor who popularity during the 60th and during season 1. I would imagine (but don’t quote) they probably had these in production a long time ago. Do you know what? I even miss the days of b&m monster sets with cybermen, zygons etc. at least re release army builders or iconic villains. Nobody can argue that three tenth doctors or three timelords are better than tomb cyberman / earth shock cyber and sontaran set.
John
September 16th, 2024 - 2:12pmI’m very very sceptical that is correct. It could be hence fewer sets but considering you can still find last years Daleks in some places………..
mick
September 16th, 2024 - 2:44pmin my opinion i think b&m are losing interest in the line and will be very surprised if there are any sets next year.
will keep you posted as soon as stock arrives at the warehouse.
WhoCollector
September 16th, 2024 - 3:36pmIts genuinely a shame mick. As cool as al dewar is, and probably as hard as his job is. Yes, Its a bit of a thankless job most of the time. He hasn’t really gone out of his way to help with the window packaging / old style presenting of figures. They do it for the online, why not b&m. That was the point that dalek sets started sitting on shelves for prolonged periods. Presentation is key. Then there is the constant half baked three packs that started during that time. They say “we have this but it won’t be released yet” or “we put this inferno set on hold” but then get shocked when fans criticise whats in its place. Ive never felt a “i must buy this now!” Since the five doctors figure set. That was the last b&m three pack that actually had decent figures. Three packs always feel like 2-3 of the same figure. A bit of variation would be great. Repaint a third doctor without tie. Do something worth it aha. Got a bad feeling on the three pack this year. Unless its ball joint Tennant. The ninth Doctor new coat sculpt baffled me, especially given that they released dark eyes eight with the old one at the time? Why not do a dark eyes eight jacket wrap instead. And use old ninth …
WhoCollector
September 16th, 2024 - 4:17pmBooboo, im not trying to fight. Aha. Im not on gallifrey base either. I just get my updates here. Plus, my concerns wouldnt even get listened too by him aha. Im not expecting anyone to actually acknowledge the concerns. But there is a link between the daleks staying on shelf and the packaging change. Since they went cheaper with packing, the sets just dont sell as well. I think its quite valid to have these concerns… it could be the beginning of the end for b&m doctor who sets.
Tom Williams
September 16th, 2024 - 4:43pmI thought myself they would off landed maybe today but seems more now next Monday most fingers crossed looks like a hunt trip next Monday too b and m
Bobby Davros
September 16th, 2024 - 5:07pmIf B&M are losing interest in Who then they are only reflecting the general zeitgeist towards the show in the nation currently. When Character are forced to release a current doctor or companion as an online exclusive because apparently the big bricks and mortar retailers aren’t interested then it’s obvious the show’s lost its mass appeal for the moment.
Snowman
September 16th, 2024 - 8:14pmBooboo, if there’s regular Releases of Ruby and the 15th Doctor aswell as CO Exclusives, I presume the Figures are totally different (Otherwise people would only buy One set and not both)?
Pipkin
September 16th, 2024 - 8:48pmCould The parting of the ways set be an ironic statement from CO?
Martino
September 17th, 2024 - 7:05amSo, the collector who only buys B&M sets when they’re on offer (“In other news, I’ll check b&m at the end of the year during sales”) is blaming everyone else if the line dies off? I see. Well, the only real problem here IMO is that B&M are essentially a large chain of thrift dupersto run by some very hard-nosed businessmen. Al Dewar has pulled off a small miracle by getting them to approve some very esoteric sets for the benefit of US COLLECTORS, but still gets shat on by so-called collectors who seem to be trying to discourage Al from even trying. Doctor Who is a massive brand, it’s global, and these collectible action figures are being OFFERED to us very cheaply compared to other franchises, and still we complain?!? What the hell guys??
WhoCollector
September 17th, 2024 - 8:00amMartino, you missed my point completely. My point is that they are not producing sets that i personally (and from the looks of things a lot of others, because shelves were full to the brim) want to spend full price on. Last one was the five doctors set, as i said. If they produced sets that actually had some variation and thought. Id pay full price, as i did when i purchased a few of the five doctors sets on release. Im not blaming everyone else either? Im blaming character/b&m with the huge quantities. So please dont misinterpret my comments…
Pipkin
September 17th, 2024 - 9:34amActually i recently read that a Liz Shaw figure had been commisioned as part of a future set.
Im all for recycling if they create a new head for something new to keep these lines alive.
Jamie
September 17th, 2024 - 9:46amI disagree they are not producing sets fans want. Emperor Davros is probably the most requested rerelease and everyone complained when they skipped Ressirection the first time round.
Also it’s a funny turnaround to see people complaining they are producing too many of the B&M sets!!
WhoCollector
September 17th, 2024 - 10:19amThis is the last ill say on the situation, but it will be interesting to see how the sets progress, or regress, in b&m over the next couple years. Ill be the first to say i was wrong if the next couple years bring more interesting sets. I just find the reduced amount of unique sets, but the increase in production of fewer sets to be confusing. I do think a few doctor who fans can be blinded by loyalty some times – potentially to their own detriment. Doctor who is not as big as some people think. Especially today.
Jamie
September 17th, 2024 - 12:08pmBut you are the one saying the B&M sets should have more new stuff, fancier packaging and be more expensive. Whilst everyone else is telling you the reality of the situation.
Is it not you who is blinded?
Pjd94
September 17th, 2024 - 12:28pmSTOP!
Can we just do like when we’re adding map locations and keep our comments limited to useful information?
Otherwise lots of hopeful fans are just going to check for new info every time a comment is posted just to find people having a pointless argument!
WhoCollector
September 17th, 2024 - 2:34pmYep, Jamie. Its entirely my fault that the shelves (at three of the b&m shops near me at least) are full to the brim with daleks… its a shame people see realistic outlooks as offensive. This is also when quality starts to go down, when people praise and thank for less. An example i always use is that a brilliant episode of doctor who today, would be a mediocre episode years ago. Its the same with merch. All i will say is, im not the one making personal digs at commenters Jamie. Im talking generally about the merch.
FH
September 17th, 2024 - 4:36pmWhile it’s true that Emperor Davros is a highly requested re-release, the issue lies in the balance and variety of the sets being produced. The overproduction of certain sets leads to them sitting on shelves for extended periods, which can negatively impact future waves. It’s about thoughtful curation and variety that keeps the line fresh and exciting for collectors. The reduced number of unique sets and increased production of fewer sets is potentially detrimental in the long run.
It’s not about discouraging Al Dewar or the efforts behind these releases, but about providing constructive feedback to ensure the longevity and success of the line. The goal is to see more thoughtful and varied sets that genuinely excite collectors so they will actually spend the money on them.
But, of course, ultimately the aim is to ensure that the Doctor Who action figure line remains vibrant and appealing, not just for a few dedicated fans, but for the broader collector community. Constructive criticism and feedback are essential for growth and improvement, and I hope this perspective is taken into consideration. WhoCollector is totally spot on.
WhoCollector
September 17th, 2024 - 5:00pmThank you FH. Im not the best when it comes to wording, but that is the perfect summary of exactly what i was trying to say. I appreciate it.
John
September 18th, 2024 - 8:47amIt is interesting what people think can be achieved on a B&M budget! Although when you look at what we have had – Harry, 80s Sontarans, 5 Docs Pertwee, 5 Doct Cybers, Romana 1 and 2, new Sarah, Ian, Voord, Sensorites, David Bradley, BF versions of Docs and Daleks, flip top Daleks (plus others I’ve probably forgotten) we know it has been done to create new and interesting things – yet we get godawful 3 packs no one wants (another spare Tennant anyone?) so something has changed somewhere.
booboo
September 18th, 2024 - 9:23amB&M sets used to always just be re-releases, taking over from Tescos. Then someone i believe got a bit more interested which coincided with what i assume CO thought would be a lucrative USA market through gogs1
Much bigger quantitates = more investment. The USA venture clearly failed with much of the stock having to be sold of for next to nothing.
Some of the other items were probably already tooled.
So almost back to square one but still getting better variants etc than straight re-releases.
I would imagine possibly the budget 3 packs probably offset what is probably higher production costs of the Dalek packs, or it could be the other way round, who knows.
NickC
September 18th, 2024 - 9:42amWe all know the scalpelrs will be out in force again, sigh
booboo
September 18th, 2024 - 9:53amI hope they are all aware of the new HMRC reporting rules which ebay, vinted etc are now legally obliged to report
More than 30 sales or £1700 in money and your details will be sent to HMRC in Jan 2025, if they see you are deliberately buying new items to sell on a profit they may well ask for a self assessment tax return,
If you are already a tax payer then tax will be due on your profits if your trading is over £1000.
If you are caught out as a serial non tax payer they can go back 10 years – some people may be in for a nasty shock!
Peter C
September 7th, 2024 - 12:32pmDo we know which week these are to begin appearing?
Tom Williams
September 7th, 2024 - 1:21pmI did see approximately 23 on a you tube video last night but not 100 sure
mick
September 9th, 2024 - 6:29amNot arrived at central warehouse yet. Last time I checked it said arriving around the 16th september
Tom Williams
September 9th, 2024 - 11:54amThank you mick that’s handy for me as don’t have too visit b and m lots this week lol and better it fulls on my payment week
Matt Y
September 10th, 2024 - 8:15pm24th September has just been stated as release date and CO online 15th and Ruby on 25th.
Tom Williams
September 11th, 2024 - 9:30pmI said myself 23 off sept this is getting too confusing lol but I think mick will know better as he updates on all b and m sets
Tom Williams
September 11th, 2024 - 9:41pmPlus just saw on galaxy 4 the preorders already for 15 and ruby figures without no images as yet rumoured for Oct/nov
James
September 7th, 2024 - 12:15pmJust curious…it says above the retail price willbbe determined by the store. Has anyoneseen the sets different prices in different branches?
booboo
September 7th, 2024 - 1:03pmNot to start with, they would always be the same on the system I think one time a RRP was mentioned in the press release which was different to the instore price
Taren Capel
September 6th, 2024 - 10:39amI never realised until this moment, when closed, The Emperor has a distinct resemblance to Zippy
Valeyard
September 6th, 2024 - 10:44amThanks. I’ve never going to un-see that now.
bungle
September 6th, 2024 - 9:01pmsame actor as does zippy does the dalek voices in remembrance.
JRT!
September 7th, 2024 - 12:35amOMG!! I LOVED Zippy! Still have my plush Zippy sitting next to my plush Alf,lol. Never knew Zippy and the Daleks were the same guy! So cool.
Alan
September 7th, 2024 - 7:48amSame actor behind Bungo and the Dalek battle computer too
daz
September 7th, 2024 - 11:01amIf you watch Revelation of the Daleks. In the end battle between the Renegade and Necros Daleks in the tunnel, Roy Skelton goes a bit too Zippy in his portrayal but it is amusing.
I always thought Emperor Davros looked like a zippy puppet. But it is a great design based on the TV21 version.
Valeyard
September 8th, 2024 - 12:25pmAh the fantastic Roy Skelton. Still my favourite Dalek voice artist 🙂
Snowman
September 8th, 2024 - 1:09pmOn this Site, if you check out the Vinyl Records section in the Merchandise Guide, you’ll see a Matt Berry Television Themes (Including Dr Who) LP.
On the cover (Believe it or not) is Zippy with Tom Baker.
Always found it abit random having those Two Guys on the Cover of an LP.
Toffee10
September 5th, 2024 - 6:04pmWhen you say 50/50 set for parting of the ways do you mean one human one dalek, and will that count as a history of the dalek set because I’m waiting for a journeys end or stolen earth set which looks to be in a year or two the way they release them hahaha
booboo
September 5th, 2024 - 6:06pmno idea at this stage, its just been said something is split 50/50 in the sets
John
September 6th, 2024 - 9:22amIt was touted as a HOTD set so I’m expecting 2 Daleks.
Drwhofan08
September 7th, 2024 - 7:55pmWell the 5 drs was HOTD but that only had 1 dalek
FH
September 9th, 2024 - 2:22pmWouldn’t be one Dalek, one human for the parting of the ways set though. Five doctors only had one Dalek in it so that’s all they could have, whereas POTW has a plethora of Dalek designs to use, to the point that one set probably wouldn’t even cover it haha. Not to mention there’s no obvious choice for what human would go with a POTW set, so not sure where this speculation has come from, it doesn’t make any sense!
beef
September 4th, 2024 - 3:38pmwhat’s the speculation on the parting of the ways set? Could we be getting some praetorian guards? I really hope so because I don’t think CO ever made those figures outside the 3.75 range. Hope there’s two POTW sets so that we can get all four guard variants but that’s probably wishful thinking.
booboo
September 4th, 2024 - 3:41pmI think its a Dalek set with another 50/50 split of something
Daniel Seymour
September 4th, 2024 - 4:25pmAs long as ANOTHER hologram figure or pub fight pose Rose figure isnt included, im happy.
Anon
September 4th, 2024 - 6:07pmI,d like another Rose figure even if its the same hoodie but not that dreadful articulated version, i agree.
Mrs Croot
September 4th, 2024 - 8:19pmWe got 2 in 3.75, got one in 5” (with the 2013 Dalek doctor wave). With the selection of Daleks for that story, I assume we’re getting updated door cutter Dalek, and a 50/50 split between two types of emperor guards. My guess as to the guards is the buzz saw and the sonic canon, but that’s all speculation
KSIK
September 5th, 2024 - 1:13pmWasn’t the 5″ guard dalek in the ToysRus exclusive 2 packs with the 9th Doctor?
John
September 5th, 2024 - 2:20pmKSIK it was but had a plunger not a fancy attachment.
B92Whovian
September 4th, 2024 - 3:17pmDoes anyone know or heard any rumours what the “friends and foe” set could include ?:)
booboo
September 4th, 2024 - 3:21pmOnly that its supposed to be “new series”
Simplyzak09
September 4th, 2024 - 3:57pm“New series” as in 2005-2022 or 2023-present ?
John
September 5th, 2024 - 8:22amNew series generally relates to 2005 to present so could be anything.
Mark belsom
September 5th, 2024 - 10:43amI have heard that the set includes River Song, clock work man, not sure on the third. So nothing very exciting.
Anon
September 5th, 2024 - 8:09pmDoesn’t that depend on whether you want the figures or not mark? Someone who doesn’t have those may be very excited by those
Ian
September 5th, 2024 - 8:15pmOne rumour is it’s a Clockwork robot, Riversong & a Cyberman.
John
September 6th, 2024 - 9:24amIt will peg warm like the other 3 packs whatever it is!
Megafan61
September 7th, 2024 - 12:05pmI agree with John, if that’s the set it will be like the rose set, sitting on shelves until next year
Dalek fred
September 4th, 2024 - 8:05amWhy is there a davros on the side of the b&m map? I was not a were of a floating barge b&m
Alan
September 4th, 2024 - 9:47amHe’s leading the invasion. The Dalek fleet will land in Scarborough
Sean
September 3rd, 2024 - 7:11pm10 months on, and Crescent Link Derry store still had at least 6 each of the 3 Dalek sets from October ’23, a couple of days ago. At £16.99, as well.
Berno
September 5th, 2024 - 1:23pmStrange as everywhere i go they sell out within hours and nothing ever seen again!
Snowman
September 3rd, 2024 - 4:54pmOh my Gosh, I’ll have to hire a Boat if that’s were Davros as been Sighted. LOL.
Snowman
September 4th, 2024 - 1:23pmPanic over, I’ve hired a boat and will be setting off later today, I’ll let you know how I get on.
JRT!
September 6th, 2024 - 8:26pmLOL!! Hope you find some. You could also just swim,save you some money. Has he moved on the map though? Looks like he’s just outside Blackpool now. Should be easier by boat or a nice long swim,lol. Hope everyone gets their Dave Ross figure.
Snowman
September 7th, 2024 - 12:55pmYes, JRT, I searched all the North Sea but didn’t see anything. (Didn’t realize how Big the North Sea was).
Then came home and checked the Map again and he had moved to the Irish Sea. (No Wonder I didn’t find him). LOL.
JRT!
September 7th, 2024 - 2:57pmROFL!!
Fishermansteve
September 8th, 2024 - 5:16pmToo late, I already picked up the Davros in the Irish Sea, He’s soaked!
Snowman
September 10th, 2024 - 1:18pmPoor Davros he didn’t Deserve this.
vladnag
September 10th, 2024 - 3:04pmI’m now imagining the scene in Remembrance of the Daleks where Davros reveals himself, but as the lid opens water and fish pour out with seaweed draped over his head
Lewis Frisby
September 3rd, 2024 - 4:05pmDo we know when these are on shelves
booboo
September 3rd, 2024 - 4:20pmno exact date yet
ex15
September 4th, 2024 - 5:29pmWell, the eBay guys say around this weekend?
Tom Williams
September 4th, 2024 - 6:08pmOr maybe tommrow as Bedford town centre b and m had a lorrie turn up today
Anjogr
September 4th, 2024 - 6:47pmHmm I think most B&M stores would get a few deliveries each week, so I’m not sure the lorry will definitely have these sets on it. Would be happy to be proven wrong though
Tom Williams
September 4th, 2024 - 9:17pmNot true as Bedford is always the ones that get it first
Peter C
September 4th, 2024 - 11:25pmThat’s cos the Daleks always invade Bedford first!
Tom Williams
September 4th, 2024 - 11:47pmVery true 😀
Jamie
September 3rd, 2024 - 3:58pmI already have the original releases of this and the Resurrection Daleks but the new paint jobs do look very nice. I will pick them up if I see them.
Mrs Croot
September 3rd, 2024 - 1:38pmI’m guessing that the friends and foes set needed more work done to it, because originally the announcement was the 3 pack being in this wave, and Davros being in the wave at the end of the year, so this was brought forward to fill the gap since this is an existing mould.
Vladnag
September 3rd, 2024 - 4:15pmYou can see this in the product codes, with Davros ending in 15 and the Resurrection set ending in 12!
I hope this means the three pack has some new mould, there’s a prototype hatless brigadier floating around so I’m assuming that’s in there
John
September 4th, 2024 - 8:18amAll the rumours indicated it was NSD so I doubt the hatless Brig will be in there. I hope the rumours are wrong and it is classic!
Mark belsom
September 4th, 2024 - 1:40pmSadly the three figure set is all new who.
Anon
September 6th, 2024 - 12:41amSome of us will be very happy with new who figures
JRT!
September 11th, 2024 - 9:46amI can’t wait! Hope one is the rumoured Fugitive Doc with glasses.
GallifreyStands
September 3rd, 2024 - 10:14amScalpers will already got their palettes ordered.
WhoCollector
September 3rd, 2024 - 12:12pm“Will already got”, gave me a bigger headache than i expected aha.
beef
September 3rd, 2024 - 12:35amI’m sure it was 1982. I don’t need to double check
Philip Shaw
September 3rd, 2024 - 8:39am1988
Markstevenson
September 3rd, 2024 - 10:04amRemembrance of the Daleks is the first serial of the 25th season of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. The serial was first broadcast in four weekly episodes from 5 to 26 October 1988. So 1982 is wrong
beef
September 3rd, 2024 - 10:24amit says 1982 in the write-up so it must be 1982
Peter
September 3rd, 2024 - 10:50am@beef I was born in 1984, and one of my earliest memories is watching “Remembrance of the Daleks” in October 1988. It’s most definitely 1988. Think of it this way: it’s a 7th Doc story… and there was no 7th Doc until 1987. Therefore, it can’t be 1982 and that writeup is just wrong (TBH I’ve found most of the writeups on the boxes quite poor and incorrect in places. Proof reader/editor for the box blurbs wouldn’t go amiss, as they usually just big slabs of barely intelligible text).

September 3rd, 2024 - 10:54amThe press release is wrong we have corrected it now.

September 3rd, 2024 - 2:05pmI think Beef might have been having a little joke about the writer not bothering to check their facts. (Let’s just all be glad that they didn’t accidentally write about 1982’s Stavros, evil genius and creator of kebabs.)

September 3rd, 2024 - 7:32pmyeah I was making a joke
Rex Farrel
September 3rd, 2024 - 9:27pmBeef: I thought it was funny, anyway.
Anon
September 4th, 2024 - 7:49amNever joke about doctor who facts beef! I thought it was funny too.

September 4th, 2024 - 8:20amThat’s the trouble with written media – you don’t know whose joking or not!

September 4th, 2024 - 1:29pmSome get round it John by putting Emojis after there Comment. I.e. Serious Emoji or if there just Joking a Laughing Emoji.
booboo
September 4th, 2024 - 1:32pmyou can use emojis if you know the codes
😃
Snowman
September 4th, 2024 - 1:41pmHello Booboo, I literally wondered about that for a few Years now. Many times in the past I’ve Commented with an Emoji at the end of my Comment, but the Comment always appeared without my Emoji. (I always Wondered why).
booboo
September 4th, 2024 - 1:44pm😃
Snowman
September 4th, 2024 - 1:57pmLOL.
Rory
September 4th, 2024 - 4:58pmWait. It was a joke?
I distinctly remember watching this in 1982, so everyone else is just wrong.
David Minter
September 5th, 2024 - 11:16pmStavros! Is that an incredibly bizarre reference to Marvel US’s Doctor Who reprint comics in color in the middle 1980’s? I still have burned into my memory the “fact” page that had a terrible drawing of Davros labeled “Stavros” underneath it.
Rex F
September 6th, 2024 - 8:09amStavros was a Greek kebab shop owner played by Harry Enfield in comedy sketches in the early 80s, based on the man who ran his own local kebab shop (“‘Ello peeps!”). Occasionally a hapless writer would mix the two up and end up having the mickey taken out of them – those fans could be quite merciless! I never knew the mistake had even made it across the pond as well though…
Snowman
September 7th, 2024 - 8:45pmDon’t forget Stavros Flatley aswell, another Comedy Act popular in Britain.

September 2nd, 2024 - 9:21pmI assume these will go up on the website too, I was wondering have the previous sets sold out pretty quickly on there? Because I’ve not got any physical stores that near to me, so I think I’ll need to just keep an eye on the website if I’m lucky.
David Goldberg
September 2nd, 2024 - 9:41pm@AlexanderOP – more than likely these will be exclusive to B&M stores only, so won’t be available from the CO website.
John
September 3rd, 2024 - 7:28amB&M stores exclusives are just that, exclusive to stores. theya re not sold Online.
Rex Farrel
September 3rd, 2024 - 1:50pmB&M’s online selling experiment was very short-lived, although I’m not quite sure why. I think it was only the wave including the Bradley Tardis and 8th Doctor 3 pack that was available that way.
John
September 3rd, 2024 - 3:30pmThe wave which was sold online was the one with Genesis Davros in it.
Bib
September 2nd, 2024 - 7:07pmI just want a 15 figure
GalexTEM
September 2nd, 2024 - 5:25pmso… I cant help but notice only one history of the daleks set for the first wave of this year, any reasons as to why?
booboo
September 2nd, 2024 - 5:32pmthere were fewer sets this year, i assume Davros replaced one, 2 more to come named on the system are friends and foe and a parting of the ways set.
The Zoo Boy
September 3rd, 2024 - 12:41pmBooboo do you know when that Friends and Fir set will be revealed/released?
booboo
September 3rd, 2024 - 12:43pmno sorry, the only way we get to find out anything is when the official press release arrives
Snowman
September 3rd, 2024 - 12:56pmI find it very odd in this day of Technology and the Internet that CO have managed to keep Two Sets Secret for this length of time.
Loobop
September 2nd, 2024 - 4:37pmDavros looks like he’s fell down the toilet,now i know why the daleks have plunges. lol
Doug Who
September 2nd, 2024 - 5:14pmPerhaps there’s a built in commode!
Ronson from Genesis of the Daleks
September 2nd, 2024 - 8:45pmBet you wouldn’t say that to his face.
Alex Oswin
September 2nd, 2024 - 2:28pmGlad to see him (officially!) and a very short date for once! Not a must get for me but a strong maybe depending on what I think if/when I can see him in store.
Anyone knowing anything about this year’s 3 packs? I remember seeing some leaked names on Twitter but nothing since.
Sime
September 2nd, 2024 - 2:20pmLiking this. Will be a good addition to my growing Davros collection.
Margaret
September 2nd, 2024 - 1:27pmThe gallifrey sets are still littering my local stores.
Alex Oswin
September 2nd, 2024 - 2:26pmSame with my store. I think they might have sold worse than that 10th Doctor variants set near me.
David Minter
September 2nd, 2024 - 1:12pmRemembrance Of The Daleks aired in 1982? 😉
In all seriousness, this came an utter surprise to me. Last I had heard, Character Options had lost the mold for the Emperor Davros and no more could be made. I must have been misinformed by that source.
John
September 2nd, 2024 - 1:46pmIt was announced months ago it had been found, when these sets were first shown.
David Minter
September 2nd, 2024 - 4:16pmAh, I was not aware the mold had been found or that this set was previously announced. I generally get my Character Options news from this site. Anyway, that’s all great news!
booboo
September 2nd, 2024 - 4:50pmWas never “announced” by CO or B&M directly to the wider public in any official press release etc, only on closed facebook groups and forums.
John
September 3rd, 2024 - 1:26pmAnnounced or revealed, the info came from B&M even if it wasn’t ‘official’
booboo
September 3rd, 2024 - 1:31pmwhich we asked if we could share for our visitors and they couldn’t even be bothered to reply , i dont call giving info to a closed Facebook group any sort of announcement to a select few, not everyone resides on social media and some companies need to wake up to that
Tom Williams
September 2nd, 2024 - 12:38pmGood I’m glad finally as that eBay seller who’s listed it at moment for preorder is rediclus paying especially nearly 50 pound for this davros
Tom Williams
September 3rd, 2024 - 5:31pmVery happy I live near st Neots and Bedford now so let’s hope they arrive next week if not it will have too resort more my parents way b and ms letchworth hitchin etc 🙁
Tom Williams

Tom Williams

Doctorbendisco
September 2nd, 2024 - 11:34amI am getting this one when it comes out as well as the 15th doctor sonic screwdriver as well.
HS
September 2nd, 2024 - 11:32amPaint job is so much better on this one compared to the old one.
Doctor Stu
September 2nd, 2024 - 7:18pmIs it though? He looks like he’s got jaundice and the wires have barely any colour compared to the original
Anomie
September 3rd, 2024 - 12:08pmStu, do you actually like anything?
FH
September 3rd, 2024 - 6:18pmTo be fair, the wires are very lackluster compared to the original, but I don’t understand the criticism with the face. That’s the second time I’ve seen someone say he looks like he’s got jaundice, but that’s literally how he looks in the episode and is far more accurate than the original release. I will say the promo pics do make it look a bit too sharp and that made me unsure a bit, but after seeing the videos of the actual figure, it actually looks much better and it works very well. So, I’d say above the neck, it’s better and more accurate, below the neck it’s worse and less accurate. I’m pretty okay with that. Painting the wires should be an easy job if it bothers me that much.

David
September 2nd, 2024 - 11:07amI just hope that they are in my local B&M stores. The previous sets were impossible to get.
