Character Building Series 3 What’s in The Box – Updated

Character Building Series Three – What’s in The Box

Build your Doctor Who micro-figure collection with all new Series 3 micro-figures featuring characters from the hit TV show.

Each highly detailed and fully articulated micro-figure is sealed within a secret bag, so you never know which Doctor Who Micro-figure you are going to get!

And every character has its own Doctor Who display base and collectors leaflet highlighting all the characters available in Series 3.

There are 12 micro-figures to collect. One supplied. Dalek micro-figures do not include display base.

Common

  • Handbot
  • Dalek
  • Doctor
  • CyberController

Uncommon

  • Ood
  • Sontaran Trooper
  • Amy Pond

Rare

  • Madame Kovarian
  • Vashta Nerada
  • Rory Williams
  • Judoon Trooper
  • River Song

    you will be feeling the skirt of the dalek so that’s how you know it’s a dalek

    there are 5 daleks in a box so you can army biuld.

      In the shops by me they are on the counter, but the people who work in the shops help me feel them and help me find out what they are! I suppose it gives them something to do, sometimes they open them and if you don’t want that figure they will just have a display of open ones and you can choose which you want!

    • BOOBOO JR

      November 25th, 2012 - 6:28pm

      That sound great Kroton, the staff helping you to feel, and actually being able to open them before buying the figures. I doubt anywhere near me would be willing to do that 🙁

    That poll for how you collect figures dosent have a ‘feel the packets and never get doubles’ answer. Its so easy to tell these apart. The only doubles i have ever got from cb accidently are NT Amy, when looking for the police amy. And when i mixed up amy with restac.

    • The Monitor

      November 25th, 2012 - 4:31pm

      In the past when I have had the time I too have spent time successfully feeling packets. Buy a Dalek and its red, go back, but another Dalek and luckily it its blue) However there are drawbacks:-

      a) fewer shops are selling them these days
      b) having the time to do it
      c) most importantly of all is that such activity does attract the attention of store detectives…
      …for this reason or because of theft or likelihood of theft one supermarket even put each packet into a plastic container only unlockable at the till.

    That’s quite bad if you stated on the phone that you wanted a full box and they even agreed.

    Probably will be difficult to pick up from stores. Wilkinsons (near me) no longer sells anything Doctor Who. John Lewis’s near me are still trying to lose series 1 and 2 figures. Asda only has one Who item (Cleric Wars) and Sainsburys has nothing, the same with Tesco. FP did not have the S3 figures today.

    It is becoming quite a challenge getting things…
