Character Options announces a 5.5” Scale Thirteenth Doctor Figure

The new collectible will be available for pre-sale from 1st December 2018

Character Options has announced details of the next item in its 2018 Doctor Who collection; a 5.5-inch scale figure of the Thirteenth Doctor, played by Jodie Whittaker.

Renowned for its highly detailed 5.5 -inch figures, this latest collectible from Character will delight fans who are celebrating the brand new TV series which launched on BBC One on 7th October.

The figure depicts the newly regenerated Time Lord dressed in her high-waisted culottes, rainbow striped dark blue shirt and coat. Carrying the essential sonic screwdriver, the figure comes with multiple points of articulation.

Mark Hunt from Character Options commented: “From the moment we announced details of the 10” Thirteenth Doctor figure in late August, we have been inundated with questions about a 5.5-inch scale version. We are therefore delighted to be able to reveal details of this latest Doctor Who release.”

The new figure costs £12.99. It will be available from late December, and can be ordered on pre-sale from 1st December 2018

    Mine arrived from Amazon today. Great figure, although I wish she had more articulation, but I understand why she doesn’t.

    Has the 3.75inch range been abandoned? I haven’t seen or heard of any new figures for a while.

      I miss the 3.75 scale. Would’ve loved a 4th Doctor, Missy, and 13th Doctor in this scale, as well as series 10 12th doctor.

    The London megastore have these in now. I bought another one (I’ve now got 3). One of them has a dodgy box, so I’ll open that one.

    After my Amazon US order was canceled, I was later able to reorder with Amazon UK. However, now they’re showing “Usually dispatched within 1 to 3 months” with my estimated arrival date switched to “Arriving 16 Feb – 2 Apr”.

    Did they sell out of their first batch? Or did they never get any?
    Did anyone get one from Amazon UK?

      Because it comes out on the 9th it will probably dispatch on the 10th or 11th and arrive on the 13th or 14th!

    I’m actually disappointed with Forbidden Planet I ordered this when it was preorder and they are still yet to dispatch it. Lucky I have a Forbidden Planet International close, they had them in stock reasonably early.

    The Amazon UK link is no longer showing a £12.99 out of stock option – it now just has 2 in stock options, both of which are shockingly overpriced options.

      seen this happen so many times once a third party seller adds stock the Amazon option vanishes until stock arrives.

    Got one last week in FP Manchester. No idea if they’ll be any left now. Just don’t fall into the trap of paying a fortune on eBay from those who managed to get it early! I’m sure it’ll be easy to get once it’s officially released.

      I hope so. Otherwise I have no idea if we’ll be seeing any of the monsters or companions from Series 11. I’m also annoyed that we still don’t have any 5 inch figures of the Series 7 Cybermen or Ice Warriors.

      I think we all dream of the return of the Classic line…

      Anyway, I’d hope we’ll see something new at the Toy Fair. Perhaps the 13th Doctor TARDIS toy that was listed a while back? Though, I’m not going to hold too high hopes.

      I’m sure the re-vamped colour scheme daleks from ‘Resolution’ will feature sometime in 2019?

    • The Outcast

      December 31st, 2018 - 2:10pm

      If it’s a design that would require new moulding, I doubt we’d be seeing it anytime soon. But if its a simple repaint of a previous design, then it’s possible they’ll be able to get a prototype done by the Toy Fair (not to mention something I’d buy if they actually released).

    Good news for Americans! Amazon US is making these available (sold by “Amazon Global Store UK”), or you can order then from amazon.uk. Either way, it comes to around $21 US including shipping, if you select the slightly slower shipping. Shipping is much cheaper than I paid for the Bill figure from Amazon UK.

    It’s listed as “Temporarily out of stock”, just as the Bill figure was when I ordered it.

    Thanks for the heads up!
