June 5th, 2013 - 7:19pmI need a straight answer from everyone who has got these

June 5th, 2013 - 5:52pmGreat they have turned Doctor Who figures into Character Building. Why cant they just send the varients out in Wave 2.
It will turn out being everybody has that figure exept 1 person.
Really i dont like 3.75 anymore now that theres varients
Mels
June 5th, 2013 - 6:35pmHave we got any info yet on how ‘rare’ the variants are? (ie 1 per case etc)
booboo
June 5th, 2013 - 6:37pmmy guestimate is 1 in 50 or 60 figures at the moment but it may be a lot higher
Radburn
June 5th, 2013 - 10:45pmYes, unfortunately this smacks of the CB Super Rares. So we have a Black Dalek, Cyberleader with Blue Chestpiece & Gun, Standard Cyberman with Gun, Clara in Red, Projected/Hologram Weeping Angel & a Screaming Angel as well? Prices for the Black Dalek/Cyberleader are rocketing on ebay. I want affordable variants that I can find – Not impressed!
Mels
June 6th, 2013 - 5:05amDarn. My interest in these figures is rapidly dissipating. “Hunting’ for variants in Australia is… impossible, we don’t have the stock.
LumatTheEwok
June 5th, 2013 - 5:35pmThere’s a normal cyberman with a gun at 0:11 without the blue chest

June 5th, 2013 - 5:16pmIt looks like we’re getting the old figure trailers back! The series six figure advert was horrible.
Doctor 909
June 5th, 2013 - 5:10pmI am well annoyed that most of the good ones (screaming angel, clara, Cyberman with gun arm and dalek sec) are rares because they look so good and I am prity shore that all the Cybermen had gun arms and the screaming angel is really iconic to the show.
dwho
June 5th, 2013 - 5:07pmkids might think that all the cybermen come with guns and the weeping angles are screaming even though i am a kid well pre teen but i dont tink charater should’ve done that I GOT THESE TODAY BUT NO VARIANTS OH WELL

DoctorArkham
June 18th, 2013 - 5:27pmNo variants in FP Newcastle either except the light purple coat Doctor but I wanted the standard Clara more so I got her.
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
June 5th, 2013 - 5:06pmclara, sec, angel and cyber. i don’t think i like that red dress.
Anonymous
June 5th, 2013 - 5:00pmDon’t the sets clip the other way? With the open space facing each other?
booboo
June 5th, 2013 - 5:01pmyes they do
Anonymous
June 5th, 2013 - 5:05pmSo the advert is wrong?
Anon
June 5th, 2013 - 5:06pmThey clip with the backs inwards. Though you might be able to clip them the other way too. Haven’t attempted that!
booboo
June 5th, 2013 - 5:13pmthey can go either way i think
matt9982
June 5th, 2013 - 5:25pmYou are supposed to clip them so the tardis hole is in the corner. Creating a hole in the centre of the 4 sets. Then you can spin the TARDIS in between each set, like its travelling 🙂

June 5th, 2013 - 4:56pmThe only pointless variant is clara. She didn’t even wear a red dress, they should have at least changed the rest. Maybe to the JTTCOTT dress.
cyberman6
June 5th, 2013 - 5:48pmIn JTTCOTT it had clara in a red dress but they just added a jacket to her
Nicholas
June 5th, 2013 - 4:37pmI was just thinking the other day about these adverts. Oh, how I’ve missed them. I do miss the voice other though
DoctorArkham
June 18th, 2013 - 5:29pmThe voice over is coming soon. I didn’t mind the Series One, Two, Five and Pandorica wave voice over but the season 3 and 4 sounded weird… 🙂
Jacob Adams
June 5th, 2013 - 4:33pmVery nice advert:D
😎
Luke Smith
June 5th, 2013 - 4:31pmam I the only one going nuts about that Clara variant? OMG I WANT IT!!!!!
DoctorArkham
June 18th, 2013 - 5:29pmYou’d be very lucky if you did. As usual, the companion rare variant is the hardest to find.
cyberman2
June 5th, 2013 - 4:24pmcyberman with gun and silver chest plate, screaming angel, projected angel and clara with red dress
cyberman2
June 5th, 2013 - 4:25pmoh and dalek sec
cyberman2
June 5th, 2013 - 4:26pmthe other variant that didnt appear was cyberman with gun and blue chest piece. i wonder if there is a sceaming projected angel
cyberman2
June 5th, 2013 - 4:26pm*screaming*
cyberman2
June 5th, 2013 - 4:28pmps the vortex and cgi tardis looks way better than in the intro

Doctorb23
June 5th, 2013 - 4:15pmIt seemed that there was a cyberman with a gun but a silver chest plate!?
DoctorArkham
June 18th, 2013 - 5:30pmYes, there is a normal Cyberman, Cyberman with gun and closed chest plate and Cyberman with gun and open chest plate. Three variants.
Oodkind25
June 5th, 2013 - 4:06pmWasn’t that the character building spaceship at 0:21?
DoctorArkham
June 18th, 2013 - 5:32pmNew model for the figures. I do think that Character are using quite a bit of artistic licence for this new collection e.g. Dalek Sec has not appeared since series 3 and he is a rare variant.
DOCTORWHOSBIGGESTFAN
June 5th, 2013 - 3:58pmWho else has missed these adverts?
The Living Shadow
June 5th, 2013 - 4:18pmMe

Esterath
June 5th, 2013 - 3:23pmGood graphics!
Moxx of Who
June 5th, 2013 - 3:08pmLove these new figures. I guess this means they’ll be out in shops around now then as none of the shops near me have any of them apart from the tardis.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
June 5th, 2013 - 3:00pmAll that seems missing is a voice over talking about these new figures.
I thought Character Options didn’t bother making TV adverts for their Doctor Who figures these days, only adverts for other toys not relating to Doctor Who.
DoctorArkham
June 18th, 2013 - 5:32pmIt’s a prototype video.
Scott the Raptor
June 5th, 2013 - 1:36pmClara with pink dress, Dalek sec, hologram weeping angel, cyberman with gun and silver chest plate, screaming angel.
tardisfan97
June 5th, 2013 - 1:32pmJust a shame you can’t get these variants online, I live in a remote town so it’s difficult to get these figures otherwise!
DoctorArkham
June 18th, 2013 - 5:34pmHmmm. I was quite frustrated because my brother wants an open chest plate Cyberman with gun on arm but he is a rare variant and they seem to be only available individually on eBay at the moment. Probably terrible price though, but still its worth a go!
charliec3po
June 5th, 2013 - 1:22pmscreaming angel, looped angel, black dalek, and also a regular cyberman without the blue chest piece but with a gun arm
Ian
June 5th, 2013 - 1:13pmNice advert but doesn’t say what the playsets are, maybe kids might not be aware of them. Glad to see how the spin & fly Tardis works.
booboo
June 5th, 2013 - 1:16pmremember this is preview, no speech
Androzani12
June 5th, 2013 - 1:09pmGive money to anyone who can see variants lol

doctor hugh

jim
June 5th, 2013 - 1:07pmbooboo what do you think, screaming angel and projected screaming angel possibly the other rare chase figures ?
76 Totters Lane
June 5th, 2013 - 1:06pmThere was a screaming angel on that advert. Is this the variant or is it the clear, projected version.
DoctorArkham
June 18th, 2013 - 5:35pmThere are a few variants. There is a Serene Projected Angel, Standard Serene Angel, Screaming Angel and Projected Screaming Angel. Agh!
Andy Hall
June 5th, 2013 - 1:05pmNice advert. If only Dalek Sec, Cyberleader and screaming Angel were not so rare!
Dalek the Supreme
June 5th, 2013 - 1:05pmWow! That was great! Must get new figures!
Dalek the Supreme
June 5th, 2013 - 4:18pmAlso, I saw the black Dalek, gun-arm Cyberman, and looped Angel!
