September 5th, 2022 - 12:14pmDon’t hold your breath, folks – it’s not worth the hype. Nothing new, just two old 4th and 13th Doctor sets for £9.99 – they can’t give them away. I said it when the “first wave” of figures was announced last month and I’ll say it again – very disappointing. I was expecting – like everyone else – something special. Instead we just get this – CO really haven’t got a clue and unless they start at least trying to make an effort, this range is doomed.

September 5th, 2022 - 12:13pmHow totally underwhelming!

September 5th, 2022 - 11:55amSo not the Yeti set, then?

September 5th, 2022 - 11:45amThe Warriors of the Deep Set is back on – maybe thats it?! Assumed they sold out previously?

September 5th, 2022 - 11:02amI have a feeling it’s going to be the sea devil’s from warriors of the deep

September 5th, 2022 - 10:31am“…Product OFFER” Strange wording. Almost sounds like a sale rather than a new product.
Ken
September 5th, 2022 - 10:54amI saw a new Jo Grant variant on eBay.Wouldn’t be something like that?
booboo
September 5th, 2022 - 10:56amI doubt it, do you have a link to the listing?
PigeonMoss
September 5th, 2022 - 11:58amI love it when I’m right – does get boring aftwr a while though 🙂

September 5th, 2022 - 10:30amIs there any information on when this announcement will be made?
Enough letters for 2 alphabets
September 5th, 2022 - 10:32ambefore lunch
booboo
September 5th, 2022 - 10:32amjust before lunch, that’s all it said.

September 5th, 2022 - 11:37amPrepare for lunch I mean lauch of whatever it is. Lol
James
September 5th, 2022 - 11:41amPrepare for lunch I mean launch of whatever it is. Lol
booboo
September 5th, 2022 - 8:38amClearly some people across forums are suggesting they know what this is and its not worth the hype without giving any context or source for their information
We have no idea what it is so will let people make their own minds up.

September 5th, 2022 - 10:07amAny idea when exactly this mystery product will be unvailed? I’m just sitting here on my PC Pressing F5 every other second.
booboo
September 5th, 2022 - 10:09amno idea just before lunch it says, dont even know if it is a product as such but seeing some wild “info” going around.
Canary Wharf Cyberman
September 5th, 2022 - 10:20amCan you give me the link that you obtained this information from?
booboo
September 5th, 2022 - 10:24amThere is no link, the info on the site comes direct to us from Characters PR company, the rest of it is just forum speculation.
Canary Wharf Cyberman
September 5th, 2022 - 10:26amThe way it says “Special offer” Makes me think that after lunch this mystery product will be taken down form the Character options site. Can you confirm if that is true?

September 5th, 2022 - 10:28am@Canary Wharf Cyberman – booboo is in the same boat as us! everything outside of the email he kindly shared is speculation and fan fiction at this point. Lets just wait for the announcement eh?
No point in 20 questions as the second he knows more, we will know!
booboo
September 5th, 2022 - 10:31amyes everything we know is in the post, although the email is more of a mailshot these days to no end of people on their list, i just hope the build up is worth it.
Canary Wharf Cyberman
September 5th, 2022 - 10:34amFair enough. Anyone else hoping for a 2005 Dalek Emperor or an electronic 12th Doctor Tardis Console?
Enough letters for 2 alphabets
September 5th, 2022 - 10:36amdoctors 9-12’s tardis arent being made anymore, this is why 13s was the smaller version, costs too much, if its a tardis will be a 1-8 variant, hopefully the 8th
Docwhat
September 4th, 2022 - 10:28pmIt’s a mail-in offer, send in your BnM receipt for the 10th doc 3 pack and they’ll send you a ball- jointed shoulder 10 in return…..if only

September 4th, 2022 - 10:27pmI’m hoping this means we can order the upcoming wave online (perhaps at a discount) as the hunt for B&M is never fun for those who live in areas that struggle to get stock! I’d also love to see a new online exclusive.
Gareth Pugh
September 5th, 2022 - 9:40amI’d be very surprised if that occurs – B&M invest in the blade development and production of those sets and will want to drive footfall to their stores – however frustrating it is for us, that’s how they make their money – that bottle of Fanta and choc bar you also are tempted to at the checkout.
Sons of Skaro
September 4th, 2022 - 9:18pmDavros 3 packs:- Genesis, Destiny and Resurrection
Revelation, Remembrance and Stolen Earth.
Scott
September 4th, 2022 - 9:38pmRemembrance Davros will never be re released unfortunately, gutted I am 🙁
Alan
September 5th, 2022 - 10:29amWhy do you think Remembrance won’t get a re-issue?
Anonymous
September 5th, 2022 - 11:02amAl Dewar confirmed the tooling is lost/broken not usable
Anonymous
September 5th, 2022 - 11:32amThey can’t re-release Remembrance Davros?
Mrs Croot
September 4th, 2022 - 9:14pmoff topic but the Silurian set is allowing 844 in my basket, it seems very specific, but also surely there isn’t that many in stock?
pupbenny
September 5th, 2022 - 11:53amThat’s quite a lot left over, way more than people previously thought.
Mark
September 4th, 2022 - 8:31pmI bet it’ll be some kind of subscription thing – maybe a ‘History of the Cybermen’ one-a-month figure collection. Or a ‘build your own Dalek’.
cosmosboy98
September 4th, 2022 - 7:27pmI’d really love for it to be an offer of old sets, as a kid in the golden era of ‘07-14 I could only collect new series stuff; I’ve built out my collection since with classics but still lots of sets I’ve struggled to get my hands on!
Anonymous
September 4th, 2022 - 7:27pmA potential for us to fund a new figure ?
PandoricaOwner
September 4th, 2022 - 6:43pmHey Booboo, a bit off topic. But unsure if you are aware of an upcoming Doctor who book? – Doctor Who: A history of everyone – noticed this is available to pre-order on Amazon for October release.
booboo
September 4th, 2022 - 6:48pmyes it was another of those delayed books, been on here for a a while, nearly a year actually, https://merchandise.thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/doctor-who-a-short-history-of-everyone/
PandoricaOwner
September 4th, 2022 - 7:00pmWasn’t aware it was a delayed release! Perfect.

September 4th, 2022 - 6:37pmIan 6 pack.
Jake
September 4th, 2022 - 5:18pmI think it will be a 8th Doctor and Electronic TARDIS or a war Doctor and Electronic TARDIS. I personally think it will be a character online exclusive.I reckon it’s another TARDIS set, but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see
Bob James
September 4th, 2022 - 11:02pmThat would be Christmas come early for me! It would be wonderful to have a NOTD Eighth Doctor and War Doctor with the Tardis in one set, as they both had the battle scuffed model. I was a bit disappointed to hear Dewar say he thought we had had enough Doctor/Tardis sets (or something to that effect), because I would love Doctor/Tardis sets for Six, Eight, and Twelve.
When The Doctor Was Me
September 4th, 2022 - 4:27pmBeen a while since i’ve posted on here!
Anyway….judging by the way it says product offer and mentions the 3 figure packs. This will announce that the line will be sold exclusively online by Character. As well as exclusively in store at B&M. The launch will have the new wave of Dalek sets and 3 packs and then they will drop in stores later this week or something.

September 4th, 2022 - 4:35pmI hope so
Steve
September 4th, 2022 - 8:11pmThis would be a lovely happening if it is the case 🙂
Looking forward to the announcement tomorrow.
Martino
September 4th, 2022 - 4:22pmOR …
“This is something you will want to be part of” reminds me of a few years ago, when there was a CO survey on Outpost Gallifrey of what figures collectors would like to see. Maybe CO are going to show us some new figure sets & ask us which one we want to go into production?
The ergon
September 4th, 2022 - 6:07pmWell i am 5th doctor orientated. Any from that era for me if theres a choice. More companions.
Martino
September 4th, 2022 - 4:17pmHmm, Very Special Product Offer? Maybe CO are re-releasing some of their older sets, or a repackaged collection of older figures?
The Fishmonger
September 4th, 2022 - 2:56pmI wonder if it might be something leading up to the 60th Anniversary, like Forbidden Planet are doing?
Philip Shaw
September 4th, 2022 - 3:24pmMy hope is they are always available to buy online from character, I won’t miss the excruciating slog to fail to find any figures.
Loobop
September 4th, 2022 - 2:55pmearly september was around the time the new b and m sets where said to be out so maybe character sells them first with a introductory offer. I live in hope anyway.
Billy Hatnell
September 4th, 2022 - 2:18pmProbably looking to flog off the 300 odd
Silurian sets left a bit cheaper
Matt Paveley
September 4th, 2022 - 9:20amAny update on what this might be yet? Im sure I read somewhere that we would know more before Monday
booboo
September 4th, 2022 - 1:03pmNothing more will be said before Monday.
Anonymous
September 4th, 2022 - 9:04amWhat if it is just that they are making some sort of documentary and they want fans involved? Maybe the ‘product offer’ is that whoever contributes or is used gets a slight discount on the next online exclusive?
booboo
September 4th, 2022 - 9:13amOr they are doing a Big Chief and selling a set amount of the B&M sets online themselves especially for USA buyers.
Jamie
September 3rd, 2022 - 10:40pmI feel like we may need to focus more on the word “Offer” than “Product”. People are coming up with some crazy ideas and it might not even turn out to be anything new.
Nath
September 4th, 2022 - 8:27amWould be a dangerous move on their half
Anonymous
September 3rd, 2022 - 10:39pmPerhaps a Wilfred Mott figure? Out of respect for Bernard Cribbins maybe?
Anonymous
September 4th, 2022 - 4:07amDefinitely not. It takes a long time to make figures.
Doctor Mysterio
September 5th, 2022 - 8:35amThat would be fab though!
