New Doctor Who B&M Sets Due September / October
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 later this year. 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)
You can see a picture of this item in its packaging at www.ebay.co.uk
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.

October 12th, 2026 - 1:48pmSets have not arrived yet now saying early November
War Chief.
October 12th, 2026 - 2:19pmSigh….starting to think about ebay now….
Ian
October 12th, 2026 - 3:00pmNovember? Where did you see that? Getting later & later.
War Chief.
October 12th, 2026 - 3:42pmHum…! £120 for two Daleks…
Perhaps I’ll hang on a bit longer….

October 12th, 2026 - 5:26pmThe thing is War Chief some of the sellers are pre-order only which suggests that these individuals are just waiting to pounce on B&M stores and clear their shelves, so until we see them on the shelves I doubt some eBay sellers will have these yet either. So it’s just a waiting game at the moment we might not like it but we just have to be patient until they start arriving in stores. One seller on eBay War Chief are selling them Daleks over £100 for one set. But some are around £50 – £60 but pre-order only those are the ones I think are waiting to clear shelves. They will be taking these orders so they will know how many sets they will need to send out to those poor souls that are been ripped off. Me personally I would rather wait for B& M getting them in then pay ridiculous over the odds for them. If eBay is a last resort wait as overtime these sellers realise that they are not selling and reduce their prices.
War Chief.
October 12th, 2026 - 5:28pmYes, I think I’ll go along with that….
A penny saved, and all that…
Mr Dalekinator
October 12th, 2026 - 7:31pmLmafo so my prediction has actually got it right after all!
Best to get myself some more Daleks to paint em! 😉

October 12th, 2026 - 8:06pmWhat was the last B&M set to almost instantly sell out? It’d be one from 2022 wouldn’t it? Since then they normally end up on eBay going for less than RRP, although whether that’s down to fans giving two fingers to the scalpers or to the series itself is still up for debate. (Not a debate I’ll be partaking in, mind).
Ian: That’s Mick who works for B&M.

October 12th, 2026 - 12:41pmAs I was in Manchester Arndale I popped into B&M..nowt.
tri
October 12th, 2026 - 2:01pmtheres none in winsfords bnm, just £15 cybermen
Mr Dalekinator
October 11th, 2026 - 8:23pmMy prediction- Since all new Doctor Who sets are still haven’t come out in most of B&M stores (very obviously that would happened), I still wouldn’t be getting some Dalek sets until around November time because I am in the south UK so once the north UK are getting all new Doctor Who sets, it going to be take a very while until it eventually hit the south UK so I am not going to be surprised if I am actually got that right as always…. :-/
So much of the “official” September, they said eh.
Tri
October 12th, 2026 - 9:26amthey are normally out by now in places like liverpool right? maybe the map rn does not have info and they are out in some places maybe
Kev
October 12th, 2026 - 2:04pmIt was never officially September. And they are going to North and South at the same time.
Mr Dalekinator
October 12th, 2026 - 7:49pm@Tri according to mick’s comment just recents that they are not coming out all the way until early November (exactly like I predicted so, I’m not trying to be funny at all!). If I know better with my experience, there would be a live map on this website once some of those sets are beginning to come out eventually.
@kev try to tell that to somebody on magazine issue #634 about September being never an official one. Also that’s a bit not accurate from what I seen on a live map from few years ago as it shown the north does always get them first before the rest of them are coming down to the South.
Unless B&M has decided to playing a Monopoly game and just reverse it, perhaps?

October 11th, 2026 - 12:25pmAny updates on distribution ?
I went in my local on Friday and there was nothing and the staff didn’t know anything about new ones coming .

October 9th, 2026 - 10:13pmI can’t help but feel that the figure sets are going to be choking up shelves for a while if they are indeed raising the prices. I’ll certainly be skipping them, particularly with the Daleks crossing 50 quid alone. It feels weird remembering that these sets started out at 15 quid each and barely sold. After the scalpers started attacking, it’s just getting worse and worse, and now we don’t even get TARDISes for our woes
War Chief.
October 9th, 2026 - 10:23pmMy gut feeling Theodore is that the Daleks will sell better than the figures…
Certainly they’re all I’m interested in…

October 11th, 2026 - 9:44pmOnce again, the world has changed significantly in the last years. Costs to manufacture and ship these have spiralled. The prices cannot stay the same as they were or manufacturers will simply have to stop making them as they won’t make a profit. As to the price of the daleks, well it features two figures. So £25 each which is comparable to the price of a single figure release in say, the star wars range. These figures are not expensive. They are what they cost.
The Flying Shark
October 11th, 2026 - 10:12pmWho said anything about them being overpriced? Just that the price rise alone is enough to put people off
Andy
October 12th, 2026 - 12:06amI think the price is fair for the Dalek sets considering these were around £12.99 each when they were out first time around and that was about 15 years ago now. So these are just around the the same price as they were back then and we are getting two Daleks in each set. So am not gonna crumble at the price. I would rather pay £26.99 than £50 – £100 on eBay.
Kev
October 12th, 2026 - 2:04pmThe B&M dalek sets were not around 15 years ago!!!
Andy
October 12th, 2026 - 3:23pmYeah I know Kev, B&M wasn’t but Character were in other retailers like Toys r us or specialist sci- fi shops all the figures back then were just single figure on their own prices were from £9.99 to £12.99. They were also a few box sets at around £29.99 – £49.99. Some eBay sellers are still selling them in their original new condition as they are rare now. I remember these Daleks as it said there were 5 to collect I remember them they were £12.99 each back then. So when B&M eventually get these in £26.99 is not a bad price as they is two in each.
Red 5 Where Going in.
October 6th, 2026 - 12:22pmSince it’s the 6th of October I presume these Sets are now at the warehouse and being shipped to stores as we speak?
booboo
October 6th, 2026 - 12:50pmThink mick might have said dates can be fluid as we know
Missyrules
October 6th, 2026 - 1:06pmThey will arrive when they arrive, just be patient. No point in stressing over it. The world is dire enough without adding to it
mick
October 6th, 2026 - 3:29pmI’m on holiday this week so won’t be able to update on anything until I’m back next week
War Chief.
October 6th, 2026 - 4:10pmI expect we’ll still be in the same boat next week….
Red 5 Where Going in.
October 6th, 2026 - 8:25pmA bit harsh Missyrules, I was only asking if they had arrived yet.(Has soon as they hit shops I’ll be on the hunt for them again)?
tri
October 8th, 2026 - 12:41pmhopefully so yeah
War Chief.
October 8th, 2026 - 12:44pmThe Hunt for Red Dalek….in October….!
tri
October 9th, 2026 - 10:33ammmmmmmmmm red dalek
Red 5 Where Going in.
October 9th, 2026 - 7:30pmI got the Reference War Chief. “The Hunt for Red October”. I always loved Sean Connerys Russian Accent in that Film.
War Chief.
October 9th, 2026 - 8:01pmIn 2010, when these daleks first came out, there was a general election….
Much comment was made back then, that there was a red, blue and yellow dalek…!
Missyrules
October 11th, 2026 - 9:38pmRelax red, wasn’t having a go, just saying don’t stress over it as the world is bad enough without stressing over merchandise arrivals. We can do nothing about either the world being run by old ejits or (as a direct result of said old ejits) the uncertain nature of shipping goods these days.
Red 5 Where Going in.
October 12th, 2026 - 11:29amI was just asking if they were out in the shops yet so I could go on the hunt. (Unlike alot of people on here I enjoy the hunt and I don’t mind if it takes a couple of weeks hunting to get all the sets). I usually have a look while I’m on my Grocery runs?
tri
October 12th, 2026 - 2:08pmthey normally get snatched up fast by liverpool.. i think ill avoid there and stick to chester northwitch and winsford
Ian
October 3rd, 2026 - 11:45pmWhats the latest update on the availability of these sets.?
War Chief.
October 4th, 2026 - 2:42pmA tumbleweed just gently blew past…
ex15
October 3rd, 2026 - 1:57pmIs there any difference between this set and the original set? (other than the RC option)
Scotel
October 3rd, 2026 - 2:39pmWhich set are you referring to and what’s the “RC option”?
All the paint styles are fresh. If you’re looking for “new” figures then most of the “V2” Paradigm Daleks haven’t been released before (except for the blue Strategist) and we haven’t had the hatless Missy in that colour of dress before.
Red 5 Where Going in.
October 3rd, 2026 - 8:03pm“RC Option” will be Remote Control, Scotel
War Chief.
October 4th, 2026 - 2:45pmI was miles off with RC….thinking of religion and popes…
The Daleks seem exactly the same as the 2010 ones…
Peter C
September 30th, 2026 - 10:25amAm I right in assuming the figure sets are going to be £21.99 and the Daleks £26.99?
The Unlicensed Physician
September 30th, 2026 - 1:30pmYes, Mick on the previous page works at B&M so you can trust his info.
booboo
September 30th, 2026 - 3:49pmyes that’s right
Andy
October 3rd, 2026 - 3:39pmThat sounds about right as they were around £12.99 each the first time these were out about 15 years ago now. And we getting two in each set so £26.99 is about the same price as you would have paid for one back in the day.
Ian
October 5th, 2026 - 6:12am£26.99??? I want those Daleks but at that price might have to leave them.

October 9th, 2026 - 3:14pmits not that bad,
