October 5th, 2013 - 10:23amWhat really irritates me is that people are selling these off for really crazy prices I’d gladly pay £15 for one but No people won’t except that and they want a really crazy price like £75 and there not even doctor who fans there just using these figures for there own greedy ends
So lesson of the hour is
To you toy companies put a stop to this!
The Big Friendly Button
October 6th, 2013 - 8:28pmI totally agree a rare figure should be no more than £20.

October 4th, 2013 - 7:00pmOne person on eBay is bidding on three looped angels each angel is from a different seller that hardly seems fair

Anonymous
October 3rd, 2013 - 4:47pmThat’s a very good idea. Yes very good indeed ! Also do we have any news on when the second wave is out I was thinking December but it might be a bit longer than that any ideas? Or the chase ones might be rereleasesed and now they are just samples just to see how well they sell and to see how many people really want figures that are from other series
DoctorArkham
October 3rd, 2013 - 5:01pmHi. Here are some answers for you.
1. Wave two is scheduled for January/February 2014.
2. Chase figures will not be re-released according to Alisdair Dewar, the head of the Doctor Who department at Character Options, however he has considered the Cyberman.
3. Figures from other seasons are planned (2005 onwards, no classic).
Dominic Kane
October 3rd, 2013 - 9:03pmwhy the cyberman we need a screaming angel!

October 4th, 2013 - 5:02pmWhere did you get info from
Exterminator
October 3rd, 2013 - 10:26amI too have managed to get all 6 chase figures. I was lucky enough to find 3 rare’s in shops for £6.99, but the others I did buy from eBay.
I emailed Character Options suggesting that in future waves they should consider doing mail away specials. Collectors send in the required number of barcodes cut off the backing card of purchased figures together with a sum of money for the mail away figure and to cover p&p and they then get sent the special mail away exclusive figure(s) in the post.
This is a much fairer way of doing it.
Exterminator
October 3rd, 2013 - 10:35amCharacter Options would ultimately sell more figures too because collectors and kids would have to buy the required number of figures to cut out the barcodes to send off for the mail away exclusive figures.
I’m a child of the 1970’s, I can remember Kenner toys did mail away figures with Star Wars, more recently Diamond Select Toys with their fantastic Stargate SG1 figures. I can remember as a child being so excited when a small package containing a figure came through the letterbox for me.
What do you all think of the mail away idea?
booboo
October 3rd, 2013 - 10:44amif its viable its a good idea, collect all six and send away for the free one or something like that
I understand the ides of the rares to get people back into the shops looking but its clear a lot are being taken out of the chain
But yes agree, some people who bought a gold Dalek would also have bought dalek sec – core collectors (who are far more than 100 per batch) would have bought everything
the flip side however is that the “toy buyers” wouldn’t so it could dilute sales of both. swings and round roundabouts
The Monitor
October 5th, 2013 - 6:33pmCertainly agree with the need to have alternatives, but there have been send-aways before in the 1990s.
Why should I/other collectors cut up the ones I bought to get something else. It meant I had incomplete collections because I did not want to sacrifice existing packaging.
So I am not a fan of cutting up packaging or opening packaging.
Not an easy one this. If there is the need to have rarer variants, make them in slightly less volumes and put them on special cards with a limited number and charge more.
Exterminator
October 5th, 2013 - 9:53pmAnyone wishing to keep the figures mint in packaging would obviously have to buy a second set to open and send off the tokens from these to get the send away figures. Character Options will therefore sell more figures!
Or you could just send in your till receipts as proof of purchase for the mail away figures?
Danny K
October 2nd, 2013 - 3:30pmSaw a variant Doctor figure (dark waistcoat) in TJ Hughes today, but left it. Not bothering with this daft game that CO seem to insist we play.
That’s the only variant I’ve ever seen at retail.
Anonymous
October 2nd, 2013 - 4:14pmYour joking !!!!! I’d buy it for £7.00 just so I could play with it and put it with my other dr who figures what I can’t understand is people who sell them off for crazy prices and then some people buy them then so here’s some advise for everyone out there if you see one on eBay what ever you do don’t bid,bid and your £70.00 is gone just on one figure but if no one bids on them of the buys them for the crazy price then they will go cheaper than the general release

October 3rd, 2013 - 7:51amDont worry mate. I live by london & all tg hughes are up north. nice to see a rane of retailers getting them though
Dark Lord
September 30th, 2013 - 4:46pmFrankly, I cannot understand this marketing strategy. They know people want these figures and that they will sell as well, if not better than the others. Why deny themselves the revenue!??
Just release them properly and be done with it!
The Big Friendly Button
September 30th, 2013 - 6:48pmI think the overall objective is to encourage people to go into the shops to look for these figures, though as we have seen they do not get there.
booboo
September 30th, 2013 - 6:54pmsome do, but its clear a lot are being taken out of the retailer chain and sold on-line.
The Monitor
September 30th, 2013 - 7:43pmSome shops look for them and sell them for a minimum of £30 to collectors. I have been saying the same as Dark Lord all along; release them as standard variants, we get a complete collection and CO get more revenue. The shop gets more turn-over too, so surely its a more win than lose argument.
I am going into toy shops a lot more again, but I am not going to come out with something else instead. The only exception is when I saw a mottled weeping angel and bought one in the hope it might be considered a variant.
AlexB
September 30th, 2013 - 7:50pmReally?! So it might be worth asking behind the counters of actual chain toys stores like Smyths and Toys R Us?! That’s obscene!
booboo
September 30th, 2013 - 7:52pmthose retailers wont do it (increase the price), were talking on-line retailers or small chains here
Radburn
September 30th, 2013 - 9:55pmI have given up on the variants – They are pointless trying to obtain & are on a par with the CB limited rares. Both expensive to buy & of such limited supply it’s not worth the effort…
Mels
October 1st, 2013 - 6:39amUnfortunately I’ve given up on them as well. That’s 6 extra figures CO could have sold me, but didn’t. Other than resellers/eBay sellers, I don’t see who really benefits from these chase figures. I could understand the mentality if different stores got different boxes/sets of variants (so you may have to travel to several stores to get them all) but making them this rare/ramndom is silly. I’m yet to see even one of these variants in store. :-/
The Big Friendly Button
October 1st, 2013 - 7:05amAt the end of the day when you are paying a unbelieveable sum of money for a chase variant, you are in fact paying for a piece of plastic and that is all it is.
RexisnotyourDoctor
October 1st, 2013 - 5:44pmThis is a good point. A very *small* piece of plastic at that. I think it’s very easy to get caught up in the thrill of the chase with these figures, but once you’ve ponied up, let’s say, 50 quid plus p&p for an 11th Doctor variant, I think buyer’s remorse would set in pretty quickly.
I wouldn’t pay these asking prices for figures in the 5 inch scale, let alone the 3.75 range. It does nobody any good but the ebay scalpers, and doesn’t do anything to improve CO’s standing in the eyes of the fan community.
The Big Friendly Button
September 30th, 2013 - 3:24pm(Just altered my name a little bit), The only chase figure that really want is the cyebrman.

September 30th, 2013 - 8:02amFinally collected all the rares after winning a screaming angel last night on eBay!

September 30th, 2013 - 2:19pmWell Done!

September 30th, 2013 - 7:48pmFound a lot of them from ringing up Argos and asking if they had a specific one in stock as well as Toys R Us.
Doctor Stu
September 29th, 2013 - 9:47pmThey should rerelease the screaming angel
AlexB
September 30th, 2013 - 11:18amI know! It’s absurd, I’ve emailed them about it numerous times telling them that it’s okay to have chase figures, but when the chase figures are almost separate characters in themselves ie. Black Dalek Sec and Screaming angel, it’s highly unfair to normal collectors!
Scotty 240
September 29th, 2013 - 9:14pmYes! Just got the Projected Angel from eBay!

September 29th, 2013 - 9:05pmCollecting is not about collecting them all.
If you collect bottles and theres a bottle on the other side of the Earth for your collections and its impossible to get you dont stop collecting.
If you collect the Lego Minifigures and you cant get Mr.Gold you dont stop collecting!

September 25th, 2013 - 10:29pmis it me or dose the rare version of the 3 inch doctor look more like matt smith 🙂 http://www.doctorwhotoys.net/eleventh_doctor_purple_shirt.jpg
The Silent Silent
September 26th, 2013 - 7:15amyep. The reason why is that because its the limited of 100 variant they improve the imperfections
Trenzalore
September 26th, 2013 - 7:28amWe don’t know that it is limited to 100. Personally I think it is limited to a lot more. Think of all the people that have found variants on here. Then imagine people that have found variants by not even going on here, and I’ve heard of stores keeping the rares back so I would say limited to 1000 at least or it’s not even limited, just they are releasing a little at a time.
booboo
September 26th, 2013 - 8:53am100 per batch

September 26th, 2013 - 3:30pmi bet i will have no chance of getting the rare doctor ill go to toys r us is my town to see if they have the 3 inch figures and see if its there and any others 🙁 im thinking of getting them now hopefully wave 2 will be better

September 25th, 2013 - 10:14pmWait, I never knew there was a Doctor variant, just going to check mine now!

September 25th, 2013 - 10:15pmthere seem to be a pictures of a 3.75″ console doing the rounds, posted on twitter then taken off, looks like a full console rather than just bits so maybe we are getting one after all

September 26th, 2013 - 7:45amDo you think The Peter Capaldi head on the Matt Smith Figures torso will have a black waistcoat like he’s been seen wearing during Christmas Special filming and if the Figures head is removable like The Eleventh Doctor’s if the Chase Varient with Black Waistcoat Figure will no longer be a Rare?

September 26th, 2013 - 7:50amI meant Matt Smith wearing the Black Waistcoat during Filming not Peter Capaldi.

September 25th, 2013 - 8:43pmi have been looking for evar but i got all of them except for the angel(not the translucent one) i dont want him
Anonymous
September 25th, 2013 - 4:52pmI think they might release some of these as normal figures if they were to make 50th figures considering the colours that Clara and the doctor are wearing are in the 50th from what I have seen from pictures
Exterminator
September 24th, 2013 - 10:18amI’ve found 5 projected screaming angels on eBay at the moment. That’s why the chase figures are a bad idea. People only buy them to sell on at a profit.
booboo
September 24th, 2013 - 10:24amat least 2 of those are online retailers as is the trend with these, is not just the public looking to make a quick buck, have also seen these on the hight street in retailers for £69.99
The Monitor
September 24th, 2013 - 8:03pmTotally agree. I saw two rare Cybermen on the day of launch but deliberately left one for someone else. I just want a complete collection, but am not willing to pay more than RRP for them. I think the trend with CO to have such limited rares is a missed opportunity for their own profit margins and for fandom contentment.
Dominic Kane
September 26th, 2013 - 3:31pmthey should do a box set of the rare figures for christmas that would be awsome 🙂
Sebatron
September 24th, 2013 - 1:05amI think it was a terrible idea to make the screaming angel a chase figure. I mean, it is the common appearance of the angels.

AlexanderOP
September 29th, 2013 - 8:40pmYou say that, but what are the Angels called? That’s right “Weeping Angels”, I think that is the more common appearance myself.
doctorpond393
September 23rd, 2013 - 7:40pmThis would have been all very good back in the days of woolworths and supermarkets had variety but not now. I live where I cant gain access through a shop and I personally would love the cyberman and the clara. I understand it is to try and get people back into the shops but I can’t get back into them if I don’t have any, can I?
Dalek Comand
September 23rd, 2013 - 8:31pmWoolworths was great. I remember getting the remote control Imperial Guard Dalek from there. It was a Woolworth exclusive at the time. The good thing was although limited there were enough of them to go round and not too difficult to get.
McGann is the Doctor
September 26th, 2013 - 1:20pmI was bought my first ever Doctor Who figures from there.
RC Dalek Sec and a Cyberman with arm gun.

September 26th, 2013 - 3:50pmAh, Woolworths. Those were the days. Now I can hardly find any figures often… Luckily there haven’t been many to find recently.
AlexanderOP
September 29th, 2013 - 8:42pmI remember when I had wanted a Scarecrow figure for ages, I just really wanted one. My Forbidden Planet order messed up and never actually arrived, but I actually managed to find one of those really long figure packs which had a scarecrow in, in woolworths. Ended up just selling the other figures as didn’t need, good times.

September 23rd, 2013 - 5:51amI’ve had a look around a few stores for them soon after they’ve been unpacked, but haven’t seen any of these yet. If I do find any I’ll pick them up, but I won’t be heading to eBay for these figures.

September 23rd, 2013 - 5:55pmAgree Mels – It’s doubly difficult for you to find them. If we can’t find them here in the UK – I doubt if you will have much luck & ebay is silly money for these…
