Character Building
Now a major competitor in the construction toy sector, Character Building is adding to the Doctor Who and H.M. Armed Forces range, while Deadly 60 joins the line-up in spring 2012, followed by Ben 10 and more properties in the autumn.
From the hit CBBC series, Deadly 60 will lead with 15 micro figures in foil bags to collect, including programme presenter, Steve Backshall and many of the animals he encounters, otherwise known as Micro-deadlies. Kids can deconstruct them and build the ultimate micro-deadly of all.
The addition of Ben 10 will add a new way to enjoy this favourite boys property, with collectable micro-figures at the heart of the range together with themed construction play-sets and vehicles based on the new TV Series.

drlegoman
January 15th, 2012 - 12:24pmmonsters vs zombies sound awsome because they an be used as new villans against the doctor.
drlegoman
January 15th, 2012 - 12:19pmthe deadly 60 set would make for an interesting alien planet for dr who.
Mels
January 15th, 2012 - 9:36amLooking forward to seeing what Wow stuff will release this year… they make some pretty interesting/fun items.
I’m possibly interested in the Tardis by Zeon too… sounds intriguing!
booboo

whofan4ever

Last0fthetimel0rds
January 14th, 2012 - 12:40pmIf you took out the trees and bushes on the Deadly 60 set and removed the logs from the water, it would look like the area where the Doctor is shot by the Astronaut in the Impossible Astronaut. The Doctor, Amy, Rory and River have been released and you could use the astronaut from the tesco Character Bulilding set. You could also put a Silence on the top of the big rock like when Amy sees one but then forgets.
Also, the snow leopard set could be added to the Time of Angels Mini Set to make a bigger rock area.
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
January 14th, 2012 - 11:27amdeadly 60 is an interesting idea, it will be good for backgrounds and sets for other character building figures

The Wooden Prince (Previously Admiral Icktheus)
January 13th, 2012 - 8:28pmI don’t really like Deadly 60 to be honest, but those CB toys of the show look quite nice.
BOOBOO JR
January 13th, 2012 - 8:31pmI’m not a big fan of Deadly 60, but it’s nice to see Character adding more to the range.
The Wooden Prince (Previously Admiral Icktheus)
January 13th, 2012 - 8:38pmLooking forward to seeing what Character give us this year. Slightly worried about the sets though. The mini sets were fine but the bigger sets have had more criticism. The TARDIS mega set has sat in the same place in my room since September.
BOOBOO JR
January 13th, 2012 - 9:05pmMine’s sat in the same place since September too! It’s kind of in the way, but I can’t fit it anywhere else! Hopefully we’ll have some good things too look forward too though.
Commander Strax
January 14th, 2012 - 12:25pmi dont really like deadly 60
the astronaut of death
January 13th, 2012 - 7:08pmit says there is going to be a dalek eyetalk torch that sounds cool
Anonymous
January 13th, 2012 - 4:47pmInteresting it says that the Doctor Who and HM Armed Forces range are being added to, then sayign that Deadly 60 joins them in Spring. Is it possible that Series 3 will come out sometime in late January or February before Series 4 comes out alongside this and then Series 5 with the other ranges?
BOOBOO JR
January 13th, 2012 - 4:49pmHopefully.
booboo
January 13th, 2012 - 4:53pmI hope for some new Doctor Who CB very soon
BOOBOO JR
January 13th, 2012 - 4:57pmBooboo, can we have an updated ‘Which CB Sets would you like to be released’ poll please. It could have possible Series 6 sets, like a Junk Tardis, or the Silence Tardis, and so on.
booboo
January 13th, 2012 - 4:59pmOk give me a list with ideas
Anonymous
January 13th, 2012 - 4:58pmAnd hopefully it will be more than just those Temporal Combat Shield things.
BOOBOO JR
January 13th, 2012 - 5:10pmOk a list of ideas –
The Junk Tardis
The Silence Tardis
Pirate Ship
Flesh Bowl
Teselecta Cockpit
A room from the Dolls House
A room at the Two Streams Facility
A Hotel Room
The Cybermen’s ship from Closing Time
Part of the inside of the Pyramid
Not my best ideas as I just came up with them on the spot, don’t do it just yet though, see if anyone else has any better ideas.
booboo
January 13th, 2012 - 5:11pmgive me a pirate ship anyday
BOOBOO JR
January 13th, 2012 - 5:13pmI know, it would be brilliant.
King of the Sontarans
January 13th, 2012 - 6:08pmBOOBOO JR maybe the staircase room of the dollhouse!
Mr Byzantium
January 14th, 2012 - 6:35amI can picture a ‘Ganger Factory’ like the Dalek one
BOOBOO JR
January 14th, 2012 - 7:27amIf you are going to do a poll then, I think people are pretty happy with the original ideas.
The Wooden Prince (Previously Admiral Icktheus)
January 14th, 2012 - 12:34pmI’d like to see:
The hotel reception
The Underhenge
Kazrans study
Lily and Cyrils room (yes I’m serious)
Shark sleigh ride
Part of the Silurian city
and what booboo jr said!
tom turner
January 13th, 2012 - 4:39pmwhat about the next wave of figures if there issuant that will be disappointing because they have just done re releases
Anonymous
January 13th, 2012 - 4:52pmVery oddly worded press release, but there will be new additions to the range although it’s not clear what or when.
booboo
January 13th, 2012 - 4:56pmthat’s what these releases are, very general and not specific. We can assume we are getting more CB Doctor Who stuff though from that
BOOBOO JR
January 13th, 2012 - 4:35pmNice to see more things added to the range, do you reckon the new DW Stuff will be on display at the Toy Fair?
booboo
January 13th, 2012 - 4:38pmprobably but we dont know if it will be for public release yet, last year it was. The toy fair is strictly trade/press so you can only talk about what you are told you can by the relevant manufacturer
BOOBOO JR
January 13th, 2012 - 4:39pmWhat so if you’re going and you see something DW, you might not be able to tell us!
booboo
January 13th, 2012 - 4:49pmNot just us, anyone going cant release info to the public unless the manufacture is happy for you to do that although most stuff on general display is fine because people already know about it or they want the world to be told anyway.
You have to remember this isn’t a public event.
It should be said however that most confidential stuff is held behind closed doors and can only be seen by those specifically invited (which is not us)
BOOBOO JR
January 13th, 2012 - 4:54pmOh, ok. So what date is the Toy Fair then?
booboo
January 13th, 2012 - 4:57pm24th-26th January
Cyberdevil
January 13th, 2012 - 4:33pmThe Lion could be the one from the Romans
