Please note there are 2 variants of The Grey Drone, One with Grey slats and Grey mesh and one with Grey slats and silver mesh.
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.
This latest installment for the History of the Daleks series features the black, white and silver liveried Supreme Dalek and a more customary Grey Drone Dalek, from the episode ‘Resurrection of the Daleks’ that first aired in 1984. In the episode, the Daleks return to rescue their leader Davros from his cryogenic sleep, to save them from a deadly virus created by their enemies, the Movellians. The tale unfolds into an epic battle that may see the entire Dalek race, including Davros, succumb to the virus, and culminates the Dalek Command ship and station being blown to atoms.
These new sets will be available in the coming weeks at local B&M Stores. The retail price will be determined by the store.

Anthony Fgan
September 24th, 2024 - 7:54amWait til the two versions of the 3 pack arrive in December. That will upset a lot of people
Mark Belsom
September 24th, 2024 - 5:52pmTwo versions??
John
September 18th, 2024 - 8:52amWhy are the balls grey when they should be white? Another infamous shush and no one will notice or just the photo I wonder…….
Shaw, Philip
September 19th, 2024 - 10:41amJust the picture shadow I think…
beef
September 21st, 2024 - 4:43pmyou know, these are budget figures that get sold at a discount shop. their accuracy is astounding when you consider that. it’s about £11.50 per figure, try to not be so bratty
FH
September 21st, 2024 - 5:37pmI see what you mean John but I can confirm looking at videos of the real figure the balls are white and it’s merely the shading/lighting of the photo that makes it look like that.
Dalekoddjob
September 24th, 2024 - 9:48amExpecting something to be the right colour is not being bratty. Just because its budget doesn’t mean it can’t be correct!
Iany
September 15th, 2024 - 4:07pmIs it around the 23rd September these will be available?
Tom Williams
September 18th, 2024 - 12:31pmI think it’s high chance Monday 23rd or possibly by end off this week
mick
September 18th, 2024 - 7:47pmas of the 18th september still havent arrived at central warehouse.
Dalekoddjob
September 19th, 2024 - 8:04amDue end of the month other sites saying
beef
September 21st, 2024 - 4:44pmin my experience they start showing up about a month after everyone says they will.
Danny
September 8th, 2024 - 9:06pmI don’t know what it is but the scuff marks on the fender of the Supreme seem to stick out… strange as the 80s Daleks tend not to have them… then again the Blue Peter segment appears to be the only time we see the fender which seems unscuffed? 🙂
Vladnag
September 9th, 2024 - 6:53pmI agree! Although the scuffed base might be more accurate to the prop, and a nice bit of detail, I think it detracts from the supreme and makes it look a little battered. I think I’ll switch the base out for a regular black one when I receive it.
Otherwise they look like amazing figures!
Martino
September 10th, 2024 - 11:18amI don’t know if I’m glad or not that they didn’t go for the reversed skirting look we saw with the Eaglemoss release, but I imagine the scuffs are screen accurate.
Sean
September 7th, 2024 - 3:37pmOne fine day, we may get more Grey-and-Black Revelation Drone Daleks, I hope!
John
September 16th, 2024 - 9:04amIts the same prop, unchanged so you’ve got them in this set!
Andy Dodds
September 6th, 2024 - 5:15pmWill there be a map on here to indicate which stores have stock like in the past
booboo
September 6th, 2024 - 5:54pmyes its ready to go
Andy Dodds
September 6th, 2024 - 7:29pmThat’s cool booboo
Martino
September 6th, 2024 - 11:47amI’ve started my once-a-day pop-in to the London Willesden store, just to be safe, but actually I do shop a lot at B&M anyway as it’s a pretty good discount shop. Their Spam is 50% cheaper than Sainsbury’s! Good hunting, people.
Badwolfy
September 6th, 2024 - 4:35pmI get my Bovril there; It’s about a quid cheaper than supermarkets! Plus I always go there for household stuff and Hooch or if I have time to kill when out and about! ;D
Snowman
September 6th, 2024 - 4:55pmLove Spam, when I was a Kid my Parents regularly went to the Chip shop when Shopping in the Nearest Town and all I would have was Spam Fritters (With Chips and Beans of course). Anyway back to the Hunting. Good luck Everyone.
Andy
September 4th, 2024 - 12:23pmThere’s rumored to be a chase variant in these sets, but there’s been no official confirmation from Character yet.
booboo
September 4th, 2024 - 12:29pmseems to be Grey or Silver mesh, supposed to be a 50/50 split
Fh
September 4th, 2024 - 4:47pmWhat is meant by a ‘chase’ variant?
booboo
September 4th, 2024 - 4:59pmusually a variant that’s few and far between i.e. as in 1 in every 50 sets, not sure that’s the case though with this one
John
September 5th, 2024 - 12:52pmThe last few variant sets were just packed 50/50 in the delivery boxes. I’ve read that is the case with these, I’ve also read its less than that as booboo indicates. I guess we will have to wait and see.
Seems a strange little thing to change to me.
effjay
September 5th, 2024 - 4:12pmI hope it’s true that the variant without the mesh is 50/50.
It costs a monumental amount to ship these to the states after paying eBay scalper prices. I’ll probably only get one Davros to stay sealed, since the older one is actually more screen accurate and he’s an individual character, not one of many like Daleks are. If that makes sense…
Really excited though, even though the only thing ‘new’ here for me is the new drones in a slightly different grey. The black Dalek seems to be the same as the old one, but I’m happy it’s back out there for folks who missed it 13 (!) years ago.
And next time we get ‘The Parting Of The Ways’! (Please please please please do the black Emperor’s guard with the saw, and the black headed one with the weird sensor thing!)
Martino
September 8th, 2024 - 12:01pmVariants are always welcome, and can become chase items in years to come (though you can never predict which will be a popular figure).
Dalek fred
September 4th, 2024 - 8:01amI had been search8ng for history of the daleks set 16 to see if the set had been officially press releas3d but little did I know it had been renamed to set 18 which is an odd choice. Can’t wait to try and hunt down both variants of the Hotd set and the emperor davros (they look so good!)
Anjogr
September 4th, 2024 - 11:46amJust as oddly, the last dalek set was numbered 16/17 – new series gold & black daleks
John
September 4th, 2024 - 12:53pmCO said in a podcast thing they weren’t following the stories with the numbering anymore.
Rob
September 4th, 2024 - 10:02pmIt’s because Al wasn’t sure if BBC would continue with the licensing with CO, so they decided to put out the new series daleks if the range was to end, however it didn’t
Martino
September 8th, 2024 - 12:04pmIt’s a shame they couldn’t keep their set numbering consistent, even if it meant releasing similar figures back to back. And I’ve just realised they skipped the Skaro Dalek variant from Revelation of the Daleks completely!
Jack
September 3rd, 2024 - 11:04amDoes anyone know if we are getting the Special Weapons Dalek anytime soon?
beef
September 3rd, 2024 - 12:43amwhy are there four different barcodes?
booboo
September 3rd, 2024 - 6:42amthe 2 blank ones are for the next 2 sets due later
Seany
September 12th, 2024 - 2:04pmSo Friends and Foes, and the Parting of the Ways it is
anon
September 2nd, 2024 - 5:42pmWill there be an Imperial dalek from remembrance further down the line?
Vladnag
September 2nd, 2024 - 7:28pmTechnically we already got one with the Coal Hill School set, but I hope we get another release that’s easier to army build / has a corrected neck piece
Anon
September 2nd, 2024 - 9:57pmYes the history set 15 just checked. Not sure i even bought that set. I will need to backcheck. The last i remember buying was the bomb daleks from Destiny. It was last year i didnt bother at all.
Hoping the next wave has the odd exclusive.
John
September 3rd, 2024 - 8:03amAl did say no Imperials because its had 3 releases but I think we will get one at some point.
Philip Shaw
September 3rd, 2024 - 8:31amWe need a reissue of the destroyed Imperial Dalek and the special weapons dalek…
Martino
September 3rd, 2024 - 9:14amThe Imperial Dalek and two Renegade Daleks have already been released, so I don’t think we will see a re-release for a good few years. A Renegade vs Imperial pack maybe?
John
September 3rd, 2024 - 12:01pm3 Renegades, 3 Imperials, 1 destroyed, 2 Black and silver, 2 SWD and 2 Emperor Davros (will be shortly anyway) have been released.
Martino
September 3rd, 2024 - 12:15pm… plus 2 Ace’s and two Seventh Doctors. 🙂
John
September 3rd, 2024 - 1:32pmI’m surprised we didn’t get a publicity still version with the different ears!
HS
September 4th, 2024 - 3:33pmThey did release an Imperial Dalek with the Coah Hill High school set with Ace.
Loobop
September 2nd, 2024 - 4:51pmhere we go again fans want them,scalpers scalp them,fans pay double on ebay then after a month find b and m restocked the ones they wanted but now they are half price in their sales.Buyers remorse hits.
booboo
September 2nd, 2024 - 4:59pmwill be interesting to see if the new HMRC reporting rules have an impact on this
Doug Who
September 2nd, 2024 - 5:12pmIf folk are patient they will get them at reasonable prices! It’s the need to have them NOW that cost people. I held off and have paid under cost price on all of them so far…
The half price thing is so true Loobop! Got the ‘Five Doctors’ and ‘Revelation’ sets for that and was well pleased.
Latest ones look very nice though.
Fh
September 2nd, 2024 - 5:32pmScalping really isn’t as big a problem as people make out. If you buy ones for double the price then that’s your fault. Plenty of them that end up on ebay are hardly more expensive, sometimes even cheaper, than retail price. Very helpful to me as no B&M near me so it’s the only way I get them.
Doug Who
September 2nd, 2024 - 5:41pmYes Fh…it’s the dreaded FOMO but these don’t really seem to disappear even long term. I got fed up with the time and expense trawling round the B&Ms which are not too far away. There was one lucky trip where the ‘Five Doctors’ and ‘Revelation’ sets were half price but too many fruitless trips! I’ve got a lot of the releases on eBay for retail or less. Just have to wait a month or so…
Judooning
September 2nd, 2024 - 5:45pmHonestly, I feel like the whole scalping thing is slowly dying down anyway. People are learning that prices do go down and demand decreases after the first month or so of release.
I’m lucky that I’ve always found them in store, but I wouldn’t worry now if I couldn’t because I know eventually I’d get them for next to retail price either on Amazon or Ebay not long after.
Like you say, it’s the whole “I need it NOW” thing. Which I get. We are Collectors and it’s our hobby.
NickC
September 2nd, 2024 - 8:46pmI don’t entirely agree with the scalping and domo debate, as several of my local stores chose not to stock some of the last couple of waves. 🙁
Johnny
September 3rd, 2024 - 12:01amIs scalping still as much of an issue? I see the previous Dalek sets still available in most of the stores I’ve been in. Maybe demand is falling, or the the cost of living has played a part.
Daniel Seymour
September 2nd, 2024 - 3:04pmI was hoping for a Dalek Trooper figure and a Dalek rather than have two Daleks just for variation in this one but its still a good set.
Philip Shaw
September 3rd, 2024 - 8:38amI think they are sticking to purely Daleks for these sets. Perhaps a limited release like the Destiny Movellan set one day.
Fh
September 3rd, 2024 - 10:23amThey didn’t stick to it last wave with the five doctors set so I guess I wouldn’t say it was out of the realm of possibility, but the resurrection daleks, I think, have only ever been released once before so plenty of demand for these ones.
John
September 16th, 2024 - 9:05amTwo Resurrection isn’t there? the original set and the 50th Doc and Dalek set?
Sime
September 2nd, 2024 - 2:22pmResurrection is one of my favourite Dalek stories. Been waiting for this set to be released. A definite pick up for me!
Martino
September 2nd, 2024 - 12:20pmWith a little detour, I can pop in to Willesden London B&M on the way to and from work, so will start my daily monitoring probably Friday. Will be snapping up both sets.
Mrs Croot
September 2nd, 2024 - 12:04pmI know there’s no way this is the case but I really hope the variant Dalek take the spot of the supreme Dalek, because I’d rather have 3 drones and a supreme than 2 drones and 2 supremes.
Alan
September 2nd, 2024 - 12:43pmIt would make so much sense. I sense it will be the other way unfortunately.
The Outcast
September 3rd, 2024 - 1:41pmThe variant takes the place of the drone – to get both, you’d have a second Supreme.
prototype dalek
September 15th, 2024 - 4:57pmIt will be the grey drone as a variant, so by ending up with both variants you end up with 2 black supreme daleks
mick
September 2nd, 2024 - 11:19amProduct code is 412112
Judooning
September 2nd, 2024 - 11:37amSupposedly 2 versions of this set. 1 having Grey slats, the other not. I’ll be picking both up
