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

    Did anyone else order theirs from Galaxy 4? I ordered it back in early November, just just wondering if its possible those orders will be amongst the first batch of figures.

      I ordered from Galaxy 4 as well, I highly doubt it though. Their dispatch date said 5th January and I’ll bet they’re sticking to it. I suspect only those who ordered through character will be likely to have a chance to get theirs before the New Year.

      Well, I take back what I said, Galaxy 4 just sent me and from what it looks like, other people as well, a dispatch email…. huh. Glad of the quick dispatch, despite being a little confused.

      Excellent! Although I imagine it may take a bit of time to get all 800 odd of the first batch shipped out so if you didn’t order strait away then I wouldn’t worry if it isn’t shipped just yet

    I’ve seen the American figure and the U.K. Figure. Both have issues. The American one looks stiff and the U.K. One has the horrible paint job on the hair. Although this may be a collectors item anyway.

      I disagree. This is a new era. They would sell very well if released now/asap.

      Are you serious? Have you seen the ratings for this series? No one would buy these figures aside from a few npc’s and beta males.

    • The Outcast

      December 13th, 2018 - 9:28am

      What ratings are you talking about? Viewings figures wise, the ratings are at 2008 levels.

      If your talking about review websites like IMDB, there’s been a lot of review bombing going on before the episodes aired (I wonder who would be doing that?), so the scores are going to be lower because of that.

      As for the figure choice presented in the original post, I like a far few of the ideas, though some, like Ribbons, I really don’t care about. One of Series 11’s genuine flaws was it’s lack of proper, iconic villains. Tim Shaw was the best villain this Series, and he pales in comparison to some we’ve gotten in recent Series. I mean, I’d take the underutilised Fisher-king over him.

      I reckon it’ll be released in Feb around the same time as the B&M figure sets.

    • Bundy

      December 11th, 2018 - 7:05am

      Words fail (but I’ll still have a go) – there are 7 different figures on booboo’s Christmas Guide, all of which will benefit from being released whilst the show is on air and available for Christmas.

      The 5″ figure on the other hand will be released after the Christmas sales window, and after the only episode of 2019 airs.

      I don’t buy the BBC are to blame – the other 7 figures were given clearance in plenty time to be available, if this was available for submission why would it take so much longer?

      Well, they’ve missed the boat yet again just like they did with the Bill figure. The series has ended and they could’ve sold thousands if the figures and Tardis had been available to buy!

    • booboo

      December 11th, 2018 - 8:15am

      I’m sure they would have done it if they were able to, lots go on behind the scenes that we are not privy to and much of it outside characters control.

      The Bill figure had been hanging around for months and its only because Amazon stepped in that we even got her most likely

      The B&M sets have a long established time line, much of which doesn’t even need approval yet it was still more than 6 months from initial planning to when they hit the shelves.

    It’s just a shame that some articulation that had become standard hasn’t actually been included here, such as the ball joint shoulders, the thigh cuts, and the foot swivels.

    The colour stripes on the shirt are wrong too.
