This exclusive anniversary year release of the Sixth Doctor with his TARDIS comes exactly a decade and half since this figure’s first release in 2008. The Sixth Doctor was one of the most verbose, and articulate of The Doctors incarnations, and could be both melodramatic and stubborn. But despite these tendencies, under his thunderous and turbulent exterior, he was passionate, warm and empathetic.
Al Dewar Creative Director says ‘These were interesting sets to work on. Regarding the Dalek sets we’re hopping around a little this year, but it meant we could be creative and add the ‘Five Doctors’ into the History Of The Daleks Sets. As fans know this story featured one lone Dalek so it was a perfect opportunity to bring back a head sculpt created over a decade ago of the late great Richard Hurndall who played a version of the first Doctor in this story. Or … it would have done had the sculpt not been scrapped. So, not to be outdone we resurrected it in digital form, and I think it’s fair to say it’s better than the original.
‘Both the Daleks for this Set and the second ‘Revelation of the daleks’ set have been given a makeover with a mix of new parts to update the look to better match the screen used props including a lifted neck bin making them a teeny bit taller, new eyestalk, new dome lights and an updated chunkier front shoulder section on the Necros boys!
‘The final Set is The Sixth doctor and TARDIS set featuring a very different version of The Sixth Doctors costume based on one used in a Stage Play of the time. It’s a lovely figure which coupled with a delightfully shabby TARDIS which perfectly reflects the state of the prop at the time, creates a nice standout set.
‘It’s also worth mentioning fans and collectors will notice a distinct change to the packaging for these 2023 sets giving the whole range a nice facelift.’
These new sets will be available in coming weeks at local B&M Stores and with and SRP of £34.99 for the TARDIS sets and £24.99 for the Dalek Sets. (prices may differ in store)

September 1st, 2023 - 3:43amIt’s such a shame that this year’s Tardis is non-electronic when last year’s David Bradley one was.
I mean, ONE STEP FORWARD, TWO STEPS BACK! Come on, B&M…!

August 30th, 2023 - 8:42pmLooks like Bedford warehouse got them.. sets sighted in south. Come on Liverpool get a shift on

August 30th, 2023 - 7:23pmAll sets located at Chippenham Store apparently according to one of the social media groups I follow.
jason
August 30th, 2023 - 9:18pmso some spotted now
Who is who?
August 30th, 2023 - 11:39pmYes just seen the photo of them on the end aisle
Pjd94
August 30th, 2023 - 3:24pmHaving reviewed the timescale between announcement and release of last year’s first wave I do feel I have to ask whether or not we’re all getting a bit ahead of ourselves with this lot?
Independently Cross
August 30th, 2023 - 4:28pmHope so, personally/selfishly- I’m skint for another fortnight! Hadn’t banked on it all potentially reaching fruition this quickly. We shall see.
MC
August 30th, 2023 - 6:01pmNo – their arrival is imminent
Ian
August 30th, 2023 - 9:29amBooboo is there a chance all stores may stock them this year? Somone on Facebook who works for B&M think they will.
booboo
August 30th, 2023 - 9:30amthings do seem to be different this year, how things pan out is yet to be seen
Dwho
August 30th, 2023 - 11:41amBooboo do you know stock numbers? Always thought Daleks were around 4K sets, is there more this time?
booboo
August 30th, 2023 - 11:50amnot at the moment , used to be around 7K per product code but as the Daleks had the same code it was 3500 of each, Tardis used to be around 4k i think
Ian
August 29th, 2023 - 4:32pmAre folks aware that the sets seem to be the same price as last year.
booboo
August 29th, 2023 - 5:41pmwell if the visit here they would be its says that at the top
Ian
August 29th, 2023 - 7:27pmAll I saw was srp of £34.99 for example for the Tardis. I’m relieved they are not that expensive. All we need from the Five Doctors is 2nd in that version of fur coat, proper Ainley Master, Chancellor Flavia ,Borusa & the Castellan
booboo
August 29th, 2023 - 7:29pm£24.99 has been at the top of the page for a while srp was in the CO / BBC studios press release with a very specific store prices may vary
personally i think if they had put the “right price” to start with it would have saved a lot of backlash and hostility that’s been rife across social media.
Ian
August 29th, 2023 - 8:47pmAgree. I got the press release too. Al Dewar didn’t exactly reassure people it wouldn’t be £34.99.
booboo
August 30th, 2023 - 7:55amhe may not have known to be honest
Ian
August 29th, 2023 - 4:10pmI just wish I could go to any B&M and pick up the sets instead of the hunt.
Jay
August 29th, 2023 - 7:07pmThat would be lovely, wouldn’t it? I’m autistic with severe anxiety, not knowing whether I’ll be fast enough to grab the sets really stresses me out, lol.
Matt
August 29th, 2023 - 10:58pmJust getting tired of stressing about the scalpers and constantly checking at my local b&m every day for yet another tardis.
Giving it a miss, sticking with the versions I want to keep and selling the rest, fed up with chasing these down every time.
Scalpers are crushing the enthusiasm for these sets.
Erato
August 30th, 2023 - 8:36amRemember that eBay isn’t the only place you can buy sets – people sell them on other online marketplaces such Facebook and Vinted. Just have an idea of how much you’re willing to pay when you factor in the stress and cost of travelling to find them.
rich
August 30th, 2023 - 1:43pmMatt, are you selling the ones you don’t want at cost or at market value? Because isn’t selling at more than you paid scalping?
booboo
August 30th, 2023 - 1:53pmno its not, not even close, if something increases in value over time then that’s an investment, no different to property or gold and you have every right to sell it for its market value at the time.
Buying multiples to immediately and deliberately sell on at a significant profit is scalping and its also classed as a business.
Independently Cross
August 30th, 2023 - 4:22pm100% agree with Booboo. Textbook definition of ‘scalping’. We might not personally like the aftermarket prices of older/discontinued items, but the ‘late tax’ isn’t what scalping is at all. Nobody would reasonably expect a 1978 Jawa for 99p in 2023. But if somebody bought as much local stock as they could in 1978, and then tried to sell them at £10 each a week later, while the item was still technically supposed to be available at retail: That’s scalping. It’s specific (and horrible) and gets used too frequently as a descriptor for everything that’s no longer it’s original retail price. Genuine scalping’s bad enough without needing to muddy the waters by lumping in absolutely everything that’s no longer the price it once was.
Rory
August 30th, 2023 - 5:21pm@booboo, have been called a scalper more than once for buying a second copy as an investment.
I know that it may sit for years to see a good return and that’s fine by me as that’s investment strategy. It’s speculating on what will increase in value over time, rather than choking the initial supply to make instant profit.
Jamie
August 28th, 2023 - 7:09pmDo we have any Product Codes for the other sets? X
MasterofDisguise96
August 28th, 2023 - 4:44pmAre we thinking the Dalek sets will appear at the same time as this Tardis set in stores?
booboo
August 28th, 2023 - 5:06pmthe fact the price is now scanning suggests to me the delivery is immanent or is already here
Jake
August 28th, 2023 - 3:57pmwhen will this 6th Doctor and TARDIS set be at B&M?
booboo
August 28th, 2023 - 4:00pmany time now, maybe even tomorrow

August 29th, 2023 - 8:12amThanks for the update Mick. Just got back from the Lake District so it’s nice to know I don’t have to rush back out just yet
booboo
August 29th, 2023 - 9:49amcould they go to Bedford like last time so south get them 1st?
Dwho
August 29th, 2023 - 10:05amHi Mick do you work in the warehouse? How do you know? Can’t wait for the sets to be released? Maybe Bedford see them first again?
itachithing
August 29th, 2023 - 1:02pmJust been in Crawley retail park branch and no sign yet, if that’s of any use to people
mick
August 29th, 2023 - 4:56pmi dont have any way of knowing if they go to bedford first as our store is only served by the liverpool hub.

August 30th, 2023 - 7:20amNothing yet
Judooning
August 23rd, 2023 - 5:44pmRemember the Dalek Sets now come in cases of 12 rather than 6. So there should be more on the shelves.
Dwho
August 29th, 2023 - 10:06amHave they ordered more stock? Normally around 4K I believe of Daleks?
Mark
August 29th, 2023 - 8:54pmWent to bedford bnm no luck yet

Mouth on legs
August 21st, 2023 - 11:32amWhen will these be hitting the shelves? In the past it’s usually been around 3 or 4weeks from announcement to availability… and then the mad panic dash from shop to shop!
booboo
August 22nd, 2023 - 11:36amat the moment 29th (always fluid)
Also I believe they maybe doing the same as last time with a lower in store price showing a reduction.
Barcodes are not working (which they did) so might be updating the system for immanent arrival
Had updated the posts with all the info / barcodes product codes etc then had to take them off to remove it all again as couldn’t do it there and then.
Duncan Moss
August 23rd, 2023 - 9:50amThere should be no mad dash. These products should be available online.
booboo
August 23rd, 2023 - 9:52amnot anymore
Philip Shaw
August 23rd, 2023 - 9:53amIs that 29th of August, or September BooBoo?
booboo
August 23rd, 2023 - 9:55amAugust, barcodes work again this might be £24.99 in-store (but dont hold be to that, they did this before with the last Tardis set.

August 25th, 2023 - 11:08amIt’s just one ship.
Dalek Eye Stalk
August 19th, 2023 - 10:18amNot interested in this set. I didn’t even buy the electronic Tardis last year. I’ve got enough Tardis with figures from B and M over the last few years. I just can’t justify buying yet another one!
Winston2
August 19th, 2023 - 4:30pmSame nothing really to get too excited over I f an exclusive comes up or a new classic figure then they can gladly have my money
Snagrut
August 19th, 2023 - 6:57pmWhat does SRP mean can I order these online
booboo
August 19th, 2023 - 7:37pmSuggested retail price and no in store only B&M have stopped selling online
Aber
August 20th, 2023 - 11:24amYeah I’m not too fussed about this one either. Fortunate to have the Davison TARDIS sets, and a couple of Colins already.
Holding out for a reissue/online release of the McCoy one (with duffle coat?)
GrantP
August 20th, 2023 - 12:46pmYeah they deffo got to do a 7th Dr Tardis set in the duffle coat would be Ace! Hopefully next year!
Anonymouse
August 24th, 2023 - 2:51pmI’d imagine that if they ever get round to releasing duffel coat 7 it would be part of another “deluxe” set with lights and sounds on the TARDIS.
Given that the 6 set above (without lights and sounds) is going for £5.00 MORE than the Abominable Snowman set from only two years ago, putting out a duffel coat 7 set would probably be so prohibitively expensive that B&M would balk at including it in their “budget” range (even though it isn’t really a budget range any more).
The Unlicensed Physician
August 24th, 2023 - 3:47pmThe Snowman TARDIS set was 39.99.
Doctor dolby
August 19th, 2023 - 8:43amWhen does the code come out
Jackson Lake
August 17th, 2023 - 10:17pmI’m definitely getting this. Good to see something different. Although I hope at some stage we might see some new ‘new who’ figures.
But I know the B&M range can only do so much.
Wilf, Nardole, an updated Tenth Doctor from Midnight, an in scale 12th Doctor from Twice Upon a Time and
an 11th Doctor from Closing Time would be at the top of my list, but I know this isn’t 2011.
Anonymous
August 18th, 2023 - 10:21amWe had New Who figures last time and theres a Dalek set later this year.
The Quark
August 18th, 2023 - 3:49pmYou want way too many ‘repaints’. Plenty of superior ‘classic figures being overlooked – but while fans are content with ‘rehashes’ we’ll never get them.
John kelly
August 17th, 2023 - 9:26pmNo point anymore scalpers will have there fill and bulk buy again most b&m stores won’t be getting any in because some old sets didn’t sell well I won’t be giving in to ebay scalpers ever because all we will do is feed their greed
J Blackmoor
August 18th, 2023 - 3:34pmI agree with you. If absolutely no one paid for these off the scalpers then they would vanish. I’m so tired of making the trip to the B&M’s and finding nothing… only to see them on eBay for stupid money… am really sick of it. But I would love to have this set, I truly would! (Just not at scalpers cost!)
Nick r
August 19th, 2023 - 3:40pmAgreed no more £65 a set on e bay allready no more.
Spacewarp
August 20th, 2023 - 12:15am@John Kelly. Tardis sets always sell, as do Dalek sets, so I can’t see why the the larger B&M stores won’t still get them. Certainly that means about 6 in my area. They seem to be selling for around £70, which would make the seller about £20 (if you assume postage is about a fiver). However, I really can’t believe that someone has bought a 6th Doctor & Tardis set on Ebay “pre-order” for £180. Personally I’ve found that after about a fortnight or so the prices start to drop by about a tenner or so.
If you try one of the online Ebay fee calculators you find that to break even on a £35 set with £5 postage you have to sell it for no less than £47. That’s how much Ebay take in fees!
rich
August 26th, 2023 - 5:35pm@spacewarp – the only 6th doctor set I can find that has been sold on eBay also includes the other two sets
Lightningboy
August 17th, 2023 - 11:23amHow about them doing a “Trial of a Timelord” Colin Baker with the bigger hair etc..was never entirely convinced by the shape of this one..just churning out the same figure/head etc in a different colour outfit is slightly lazy.
Bundy
August 17th, 2023 - 10:25amRegarding the price, was it not in the last wave there was a price stated but it was actually always sold for less in the stores (and I think it may even have been advertised as a discount price on the website)?
booboo
August 17th, 2023 - 11:29amyes it was, i’ve looked on the B&M app and no price is listed yet for any of these
Colin
August 17th, 2023 - 8:17am£34.99!! Gee don’t think can afford to do this anymore if it was brand new classic companions would happily part with my money same with the Five Doctor set could have given us Susan in her trench coat surely that would have been easier to do? I know it’s a budget line but £34.99 that’s not very budget!
booboo
August 17th, 2023 - 8:38amThere has never been a 6th Doctor in the B&M range because the multiple paint runs and colours were far to expensive for the sets and B&M budgets.
This probably seemed the best way of doing it rather than continuously exclude him from the range altogether (which people constantly complained about)
These sets are commissioned on a very very small budget
Rex Farrel
August 17th, 2023 - 3:12pmI often seriously wonder if I could commission Character to produce a new figure, and have them sell it via their website or Amazon fulfilment. The numbers available, or that we can deduce, I’d be very tempted…
Martino
August 17th, 2023 - 3:52pmThat idea has been floated around a few times, but depending on the figure you might generate a lot of support now. Back when I started casually collecting, late Eighties, I commissioned work from model shops, buying kits and getting them professionally assembled and painted. Orc’s Nest & Comet Miniatures (both local to me, I lived in Stockwell and worked in Holborn) charged me what seemed astronomical amounts to me back then. The idea of getting a Character Options figure off the starting blocks is very appealing.
Bob James
August 17th, 2023 - 1:09amA NOTD Eighth Doctor and War Doctor w/battered Time War Tardis is still my most fevered dream. And it would be so simple and easy to do. Unless they went the distance and created a younger Sir John Hurt head sculpt. Now the dream is even more fevered…………..
silver5urfer
August 17th, 2023 - 11:15amI wouldn’t normally comment but I was so pleased that somebody mentioned this. Not sure there would be a more fitting tribute to 60th Anniversary and Sir John Hurt , his excellent portrayal of the Doctor. Minimum, non electronic Tardis and Figure, think that is a bit of a miss, but i’m sure someone somewhere thought of this, guess its a cost thing, and unfortunately fans rarely get their wishes.
Spacewarp
August 17th, 2023 - 4:47pmA War Tardis would be very nice indeed. I made a start on customising a 9/10 one but I’ve not got round to the blast marks, because if I don’t do them right I’ll ruin it. And there’s the issue with a mass-produced one. The paint jobs are done by hand, and those blast marks are very distinctive.
Bob James
August 16th, 2023 - 10:01pmThe Sixth Doctor looks awesome! CO really does do extraordinary work with the repaints. And to finally get the Hurndall First Doctor is something I’m also grateful for.

August 16th, 2023 - 9:52pmIt’s really good costume in those colours
The Quark
August 16th, 2023 - 9:05pmThe shuttle Is VERY impressive! Now if he’d said that was being released my enthusiasm for this company and Dr Who in general might well have been revitalised – but how much would it cost if it was released anyway ?
