New Doctor Who B&M Sets Due September
Character Options is thrilled to announce a fresh new drop of exclusive Doctor Who figure sets, arriving on shelves at B&M stores across the UK this September. Following a blockbuster year of multiple releases for Doctor Who collectors, this autumn wave introduces four brand-new limited-edition sets, presented in the iconic 5.5-inch (14cm) scale and finished in premium Gold Seal packaging.
Exact landing dates will be confirmed shortly, but fans and collectors are advised to keep a close watch on their local B&M shelves from early September.
The autumn 2026 line-up includes:
The Twelfth Doctor & Missy Two-Figure Set (Ref: 08537)
Relive the dramatic tension of Series 8 with this dynamic duo. This five-piece set features the commanding and deeply principled Twelfth Doctor, portrayed by Peter Capaldi, alongside his most unpredictable nemesis: Missy, the first female incarnation of the Master. The Doctor is depicted in his classic attire and comes complete with his Sonic Screwdriver. Missy is dressed in her signature maroon tunic and long skirt, accompanied by her black umbrella and personal device accessory.
The Eleventh Doctor & Amy Pond Two-Figure Set (Ref: 08538)
Fans were able to celebrate a bold era of time travel with the fan-favourite Eleventh Doctor and his popular companion, Amy Pond. This limited-edition set captures the playful yet deadly serious incarnation of the Time Lord in his memorable, red-striped shirt and bow tie, carrying his famous Sonic Screwdriver. Amy Pond is depicted in her infamous police uniform, exactly as seen in her debut episode, The Eleventh Hour.
History of the Daleks: Paradigm V2 Set 1 (Ref: 08535) & Set 2 (Ref: 08536)
Collector demand remains high for the History of the Daleks series, and this wave delivers two distinct sets based on the purebred Dalek hierarchy created by the ancient Progenitor devices.
Set 1 (Paradigm Dalek V2): Features the blue Strategist Dalek, built for military campaign planning, alongside the orange Scientist Dalek, responsible for tech research and biological weaponry.
Set 2 (Paradigm Dalek V2): Features the sleek, red, metallic Drone Dalek, the essential foot soldier class that later rose to serve as field officers, and the yellow Eternal Dalek a foundation member of the new Paradigm
These highly detailed, limited-edition releases offer the ultimate way for fans to expand their treasured Doctor Who collections.

August 28th, 2026 - 11:09amHonestly not a bad lineup considering we have the CO Exclusive lineup for the more interesting bits, I feel they’ve mostly reached the end of what they can do with B&Ms budget so having a chance for casual fans to get into Doctor Who figures is always a plus!
I’m going to grab them all just to get the heads with the new face printing technology, and i’m surprised by how much I like the Paradigm Daleks considering they where the ones I was least excited for.
My only change would be giving the 12th Doctor his second screwdriver, it may not be accurate to the episode but it’s hard to find and can go for the price of a B&M set on it’s own!

August 28th, 2026 - 11:04amOverall I am disappointed by this wave. Presumably the Twelfth Doctor is still a little too tall versus the other figures? Plus he is still missing his waistcoat! Waistcoat-gate continues! I do like the Daleks and will buy them. It a shame we couldn’t get a repainted Amy rather than the police uniform.
I understand that these are B&M budget sets but I wonder how desirable the two packs will be. These are figures that are generally easy to find on the second hand market. To guarantee good sales, surely a safer option would’ve been a highly sought-after set as was Revenge of the Cybermen? Like three Earthshock Cybermen for instance? I’d be open to Classic or New Who.
It is hard to feel excitment for this wave when we are also getting some absolutely fantastic online exclusives this year, with plenty of new characters and tooling. Again, I know these are budget sets and are not comparable to the online exclusives, but at this point are they enhancing the figure range? I don’t feel they are showcasing the amazing work CO does and what they are capable of. These need to sell well for B&M and much of that rests on releasing a sought-after product.
I’ve been collecting all of the B&M sets since 2018. It pains me to suggest if they’re going this way then it’s perhaps time for the B&M line to wind down. They’ve had a great run.

August 28th, 2026 - 10:38amI don’t have an 11 figure so will be getting that set and the Paradigm Daleks. Already have a Missy (in black) and 12 but might pick them up too for the purple Missy and 12s sonic.
The Division
August 28th, 2026 - 10:33amGreat opportunity for those who missed all these the first time round. Selfishly, I am so pleased these are all re-releases so I do not have to get involved with the chaos of B&M.

August 28th, 2026 - 10:31amNothing for me this year, save my money for the CO Vortex sets.

August 28th, 2026 - 10:30amAs there doesn’t seem to be a B&M store within a million miles from where I live, can these be ordered online from Character Options, like the other Dr Who stuff…?

August 28th, 2026 - 10:58amNo and they never have been in the case if B&M sets, the deal B&M have with CO is for them to only be available through them (B&M commission and pay CO to make these so they get to call the shots) and although they experimented for one year a while back doing online ordering – then stopped it – B&M don’t do anything but in store sales. eBay might be your best bet or find a friendly fan who might try and get you sets and post them to you if you cover their p&p?

August 28th, 2026 - 11:15amEbay then I guess, at least for the Daleks….I have a Peter Capaldi Doctor (black polka dot shirt) and not really bothered about Matt Smith one…
Mr Dalekinator
August 28th, 2026 - 10:06amCan’t wait not to finding those daleks in Gloucester’s Absolutely Dalekless B&M store again but at least I will be starting with Cheltenham this time, Ho ahahahaha!
RobW
August 28th, 2026 - 10:23amBoth B&M stores in Gloucester tend to get them in stock 4-5 days before Cheltenham do. Lydney is a waste of time now. Worcester centre I’ve never seen them in store, South Worcester store I’ve not seen them either for years and Evesham store has them

August 28th, 2026 - 10:03amWhere’s the white paradigm dalek, shame not to finish the lot.
War Chief.
August 28th, 2026 - 10:12amLooks like he couldn’t make it….
Pity there’s not an Ironside Dalek to go with…
ChrisK
August 28th, 2026 - 10:03amI know Jon Culshaw is playing the 12th Doctor for Big Finish, nice of CO to give him his own action figure, cause that looks nothing like Capaldi!
Missy
August 28th, 2026 - 10:00amThe asylum are beautiful, I wonder what happened to the white one.. should have made a three pack. Or just a 5 pack would have looked wonderful.
The rest are very underwhelming.

August 28th, 2026 - 10:00amFantastic line up! Love all of these 🙂
War Chief.
August 28th, 2026 - 9:54amLove the Paradigm Daleks…! By far the best thing about Matt Smith’s first season of Dr Who….
That and his new Tardis console room…
TheSupremeOne98
August 28th, 2026 - 9:53amDefinitely a disappointing line up for this year. I feel like this is a sign they’re pushing all the good stuff down the character online exclusive route
Prototype Dalek
August 28th, 2026 - 9:45amCertainly an interesting lot, daleks seem to have been given a colour scheme in-between victory and asylum colours
David Butler
August 28th, 2026 - 9:44amThey look cool shame about twelve not having his waistcoat

August 28th, 2026 - 9:43amHow disappointing. Would have preferred new figures.
