Character Building Temporal Balster Set
Time is fractured!…and now the Vortex is being invaded by the Doctor’s arch enemies the Daleks and the Cybermen! Using stolen Time technology, they could do untold damage to Time itself, so the Doctor with his companions by his side must venture into the Vortex to find and stop them. Each Enemy is protected by a bubble of Temporal shielding made up of four shields.
The following sets have Red blaster bolts…
Cyberman Blaster with Eleventh Doctor
Cyberman Blaster with Dalek Drone
Cyberman Blaster with Dalek Scientist
Cyberman Blaster with Dalek: The Supreme
Cyberman Blaster with Dalek Strategist
The following sets have blue blaster bolts…
Dalek Exterminator with River Song
Dalek Exterminator with Rory Williams
Dalek Exterminator with Amy Pond
Dalek Exterminator with Cyberleader
Dalek Exterminator with Cyberman
When all four shields are knocked down the enemy is thrown back out of the Vortex to their own time and space… But… The Doctor is also using the same technology and can also be knocked out of Time. Use Dalek and Cyberman weaponry to fire bolts of time energy at your opponents’ Temporal Shields to knock them down one by one.
When the Shields are gone the enemy is eliminated. Cyberman Blaster and Dalek Exterminator versions are available. Each pack includes one spring loaded blaster weapon, one micro-figure, and one Temporal Shield. 10 variations to collect. One supplied. Styles may vary. For ages 5 years and over.

booboo
January 19th, 2012 - 1:44pmonly that stock must be imminent but there are no new figures according to CO

January 19th, 2012 - 2:06pmBooboo jr posted a comment on that H.M forces page with all the figures that come with it.

January 18th, 2012 - 6:35pmYesterday (17/01/12), the new Tesco Extra in Crewe on Monday had a “placeholder” for these figures. I stress they had no physical stock or imagery, but the price was £7.49.
resistance0905
January 18th, 2012 - 6:36pmThat should read ‘Yesterday (17/01/12), the new Tesco Extra in Crewe [which opened] on Monday had a “placeholder” for these figures.’

January 18th, 2012 - 7:55pmmy tesco has a nano recorder some character building sets the time lord phycal container and some smiler figures
the astronaut of death
January 15th, 2012 - 8:19pmthe new argos catologe comes out next week but the doctor who stuff in there might get in a bit late because when the 2010 argos catologe came out i saw the tardis play set in there so i went to buy it and argos said there not be going to getting it in for another 3 months so i had to wait 3 months just to get a tardis play set

BOOBOO JR
January 15th, 2012 - 12:56pmHave just e-mailed Chacter asking them what’s going on with this, hopefully they’ll get back to me tomorrow.
booboo
January 15th, 2012 - 12:59pmif there going to be in Argos Saturday we should get info soon unless they are exclusive
BOOBOO JR
January 15th, 2012 - 1:03pmI did think that, I’m going to check on Argos on Saturday (hopefully).
Anonymous
January 15th, 2012 - 1:17pmNormally the catalogue gets released the day before so you could always try and get that if anyone happens to be in an Argos on Friday.
BOOBOO JR
January 15th, 2012 - 1:47pmWell, I’m sure if booboo gets hold of anything he’ll be sure to put it on the site as soon as he can.
BOOBOO JR
January 16th, 2012 - 4:04pmThey just replied:

January 14th, 2012 - 5:53pmArgos now seem (In some places) to have an early release of a Silents Army-Builder Pack (With Open-Mouth Variants) unknown if it is an exclusive to Argos only, like last year’s Cyberman Set? They also have the Dalek & Cyberman Versions of the Temporal Blast Combat Sets. So I’m checking all my local Argos stores this Mon. Argos new Catalogue is out next Sat 21st. Jan.
BOOBOO JR
January 14th, 2012 - 5:57pmWhere did you find this out?
Radburn
January 14th, 2012 - 5:59pmCurrently floating around on other Dr Who forums & said items have been seen
booboo
January 14th, 2012 - 6:06pmwhat forums would this be as its not on any on the main ones, mind you Argos often have stuff in ready for the Catalogue launch and there was supposed to be a silent army building set
BOOBOO JR
January 14th, 2012 - 6:00pmLike you, I will try and check local Argos stores ASAP. Though whether this can be trusted, I’m not sure?
BOOBOO JR
January 14th, 2012 - 6:04pmOh and which forums have you seen this on?
Radburn
January 14th, 2012 - 6:05pmTrouble is this happens a lot! You can guarantee that if you want something & see a mention of it & don’t follow it up, it then disappears & you never get it! I was extremely lucky to get my White Shirt 11th. Doctor Variant & missed out on Idris with 5 Cubes because FP never got any in stock. Luckily I purchased one from an online retailer – But they are like gold dust now.
Radburn
January 14th, 2012 - 6:07pmOutpostWho.Com – But no pictures yet!

BOOBOO JR
January 14th, 2012 - 6:50pmWhat are Argos’s Opening Times? I know that the vary from store to store but I just need to know the general ones. I want to see whether I’ll be able to make it one day after school.

Captain of the Teselecta
Corroded cyberman with chest damage
Corrodded cyberman with limb damage
Handbot

BOOBOO JR
January 8th, 2012 - 1:28pmMy opinions on your Series 3:
Doctor in green long coat-Totally agree
Amy from The Girl who Waited-Totally agree
Rory from Let’s Kill Hitler-Totally agree
River from Let’s Kill Hitler-Totally agree
Captain of the Teselecta-Strange choice, but not actually a bad idea
Corroded cyberman with chest damage-Totally agree
Corrodded cyberman with limb damage-A minor variant to the above, would prefer something else
Handbot-Totally Agree
Doctor with eyepatch-Totally agree
Doctor in wedding suit-Could have something else instead of a third doctor.
BOOBOO JR
January 8th, 2012 - 1:29pmOverall, some good choices. As for the variants, I think it would be better to see something from a Classic Story maybe, or something from Series 1 – 4. The rest of your ideas are brilliant!
Handbot Scott
January 8th, 2012 - 1:42pmit couldn’t be from classic or series 1-4 because they would release those in a seperate wave
BOOBOO JR
January 8th, 2012 - 2:12pmTrue.
Commander Kaagh
January 8th, 2012 - 2:14pmBut it would be good if there was series 1-4!
Anonymous
January 14th, 2012 - 7:56pmThe RTD era as a whole is part of the classic series now so if anything was to come out from it that wasn’t also involved in the Eleventh Doctor’s series then it would be in with classic figures.
Alex_The_Geek
January 8th, 2012 - 7:22amI think this has been discontinued. Because Character have looked at what people are saying on the internet and so decided to with draw it. Either that or their waiting for toy fair.
resistance0905
January 8th, 2012 - 12:14amThe suspense is so cruel! It’s been such a long time since Series 2 was released.
the astronaut of death
January 7th, 2012 - 9:17pmbooboo do you know if i can see a picture of this in it’s packaging yet
booboo
January 7th, 2012 - 9:19pmthere are no more images yet
BOOBOO JR
January 7th, 2012 - 9:09pmThanks for sorting that Booboo!
BOOBOO JR
January 6th, 2012 - 4:30pmWeren’t we supposed to find out more about this today? We haven’t, so when will we?
booboo
January 6th, 2012 - 4:34pmwe were told that retailers should not pre sell these until 6th of January when there would be more images but nothing has arrived, things may have changed that we are unaware of.
BOOBOO JR
January 6th, 2012 - 4:53pmSo if not soon, it might be revealed at the Toy Fair? Or are you saying they should of been released today and shops were told not to put them out before then? When is the Toy Fair by the way? And have you decided whether your going?
booboo
January 6th, 2012 - 4:54pmits at the end of the month a i think we are going, also to the DWE
BOOBOO JR
January 6th, 2012 - 4:58pmIf your going back to the DWE, could you get pictures of the new stuff like the Peg Dolls, and the Wooden King and Queen (and anything else added since the Ganger’s Acid Suit)? I’d like to add them to my collection of pictures from the DWE. Thanks.
booboo
January 6th, 2012 - 4:58pmwe certainly will
Commander Kaagh
January 6th, 2012 - 4:59pmWhat is the DWE??

December 25th, 2011 - 1:54amGrrrr im needing these in my life, it seems like forever since series 2 came out!!
Ultra8
December 23rd, 2011 - 10:46amThis looks like a good excuse to include some of the older characters from the past seasons/series like Susan, Sarah Jane, The Master, Omega, The Rani, Torchwood(both the old and Capt.Jack vers.), UNIT, ect.
I’d definitely love one for that Krilathane principle from that reunion eps.
Ultra8
December 23rd, 2011 - 10:52amor the Next Doctor.
10thdocforev
December 22nd, 2011 - 12:58pmI think they should sell all doctors in packets not in one big set that would rock
Booboo Jr Jr ( A Link To The Doctor Who )
December 22nd, 2011 - 12:41pmHas anyone thought about how they will do a bulky sontaran, or a flat slitheen, it’s possible, but will be difficult to manufacture.
Anonymous
December 22nd, 2011 - 1:27pmThey could just make a smaller body sculpt for Sontarans and then reuse it for children or something along those lines. It certainly wouldn’t be impossible to remake the body, there is even a different arm structure for male and female figures.
StetsonsAreCool
December 15th, 2011 - 1:50pmAre Series 1 packs still available in shops??

Karl-B
December 11th, 2011 - 1:03pmI think Character Building should back-track through the history of the Doctor. If they released 20 new characters that go back through his history, I think it would go down SO well! I would suggest the following.
1. Sarah Jane Smith
2. The Brigadier
3. Davros
4. Sontaran (Helmet on)
5. Sontaran (Helmet off)
6. Menoptera
7. Ice Warrior
8. The Master
9. K-9
10. U.N.I.T. Soldier
11. Classic Cyberman
12. Captain Jack
13. Rose Tyler
14. Martha Jones
15. Sharaz Jek
16. The Editor
17. Jamie McRimmon
18. Jo Grant
19. Ace
20. Ood

December 11th, 2011 - 1:42pmgood idea
doctorwhofan27
December 11th, 2011 - 2:04pmyou could just have sontaran with removable helmet and save you 2 figs.
doctorwhofan27
December 11th, 2011 - 2:04pmsorry, save you a figure, i meant to say.
TheAwesomeDoctorDonna
December 25th, 2011 - 2:17amI would LOVE a companion set, much like the 11 Doctors set, but if they did i think they would keep it in the ‘now’ as it were
Rose Tyler
Captain Jack
Mickey Smith
Sarah Jane Smith
Martha Jones
The Master (not a companion but you he was a main character)
Astrid Peth
Donna Noble
Jackson Lake
Christina de Souza
Adeliade Brooke
Wilfred Mott
Amy Pond
Rory Williams
River Song
That would be an awesome set that i would gladly fork out my money on!!! 😀
Anonymous
January 7th, 2012 - 10:53pmthey should add the tenth doctor with glasses and trench coat
Liason Ice
December 9th, 2011 - 8:04amIf they spend as much time making CB stuff as they do making figure variants then we would have series 4 by now!
Karl-B
December 11th, 2011 - 1:04pmI agree. Series 3 is well overdue, especially if they’re trying to keep up with the ongoing TV series.
doctorwhofan27
December 29th, 2011 - 11:45pmthey’ve got until autumn.

December 7th, 2011 - 7:47amIf there will be Daleks I hope there will be ALL 5. (That’s a hint for the Eternal)

November 28th, 2011 - 7:51pmI think cb should make a Cybermat mini set which you have to build – not a figure (But that would be cool)
