Character Building – What’s in the Box

Character Building – What’s in the Box

The un-opened box…

The packages are all kept separate with a card insert, this image shows them all loose…

The expected ratio of figures is shown below…

Common:

Eleventh Doctor ( Brown Jacket) 8/36
Cyberman 5/36
Drone Dalek 5/36

Standard:

Amy Pond 4/36
Weeping Angel (screaming face) 4/36
Dalek Strategist 3/36
Silurian General Restac 3/36
Smiler (Angry face) 2/36

Un-Common:

Weeping Angel (serene face) 1/36
The Eleventh Doctor (blue shirt) 1/36

Although the boxes may be randomly packed, our box was identical to the ratio’s given…

Some of the actual figures…

And no we didn’t get a super rare!

    2 red bow tie eleventh doctors
    1 dalek strategist
    1 weeping angel screaming
    1 silurian restac.

    I had all of them except the silurians. At least I’ve now started a dalek and weeping angel army πŸ™‚

    I got one today. I got a weeping angel angry face. It surely does go with my other micro figures 11th doctor red bow tie, amy and blue dalek. I see why it is so hard to know which one your getting because the big box of them in tescos felt like they were all doctors but I felt the wings of the weeping angel and got that. You know these figures are cool! :mrgreen:

      They announced these so far in advance the line up could change, after all we are on series 6, these give-aways may mean they are never in wave 2 and will be replaced with series 6 figures

    Okay, theres the Smiler and Silurians, But what of the rest? Red Doc and Amy you are in Tardis set, Weeping angel in the ToA set. Dalek Supreme is a Progenitor exclusive. Drone and Blue Dalek are to be in the 5 boxes, and the Factory set thats comming, as with Cyberman in the Conversion set. Blueshirt Doctor is supposidly in the Tardis Console set. Is it really worth buying these for 2 exclusive figures and the 5 super rares, since with so many duplicates some figs will end up worthless…?

    How easy is it to feel for this figure you want through the packet? I know Daleks are different shapes of course, but if you have time to feel them, could you come out with the ones your looking for?

    • booboo

      May 4th, 2011 - 8:39pm

      I had a go a couldn’t really tell as they are in bits in side the packet, i could just make out angels a couple of times because of the wings but then you dont know which one

    • felgercarb

      May 5th, 2011 - 12:49pm

      Daleks….very easy (bulky packet), also Angels really easy (rubbery wings).
      I found that Amy and the Siluruan were fairly easy too as they both have the small rubbery skirt piece which is easy to pick up in the packet.

  • booboo

    May 4th, 2011 - 7:58pm

    Regretfully any talk of the super rare quantities will be deleted, its causing more trouble than its worth, if Character confirm it ( which i dont know they will) then fine but until then its a no go.

      Completely off topic but Booboo does your Time Warrior set doctor have brown paint on his trousers. Mine does and I am not sure if it is an error or perhaps a TFS?

      it depends on the store, not all have them on the counter and some stores have only had 3 or 4 figures

      No offence but maybe reading the posts on here first would be a good idea yeah?

      what websites could you go on? and how do you pick in particular which one you want? All it says is “one supplied”. how much is one packet again? and when it says collect and build, what do you collect and build pieces for?

    • booboo

      May 4th, 2011 - 6:11pm

      You build them yourself as they are in bits when you buy them basically, you will need to find a website who sells individually, plenty on ebay and who Blackpool were doing them

    • H.K

      May 4th, 2011 - 6:09pm

      oh, and do you have to go to supermarkets, or can you get them from newsagents, because i haven’t seen them in local stores.

    • Dave

      May 4th, 2011 - 7:17pm

      yes WHO in Blackpool has all the figures instock singly for sale right now. although the case opened here had the exact denomination(ie guide) it is not guaranteed.

    I’m really interested to see how these super rares are going to work if each box appears to have a fixed ratio (we can’t say they do, but there is nothing to prove they don’t).
