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

      It’s in toymaster, toy barnhaus and lorimers stores, so they should start to appear elsewhere over time

      My order status says “Not yet dispatched”, but in all fairness I ordered when the stock status was showing as “Out of stock” so I don’t expect it to be dispatched until it shows as in stock on Amazon.

    Mine finally arrived in the post from the Who Shop, and it’s defective.

    One leg is longer than the other, meaning she can’t stand properly.

    To say that I’m disappointed is an understatement.

      I wasn’t aware of the defect until I opened it as the packaging blocks the view of the feet, so no, I can’t return it for a replacement.

      I know, postage usually takes about two weeks from the UK to me. I just wanted to know if I’ve been missed, or whether no one else from outside the UK who ordered with FP have got theirs yet.

      None I could see in there this afternoon I’m afraid. Lots of the coatless Funko Pop and tons of Eaglemoss’s Figurine Collection Issue 138 (retail exclusive edition with the alternative cover that mirrors the standard BluRay/DVD cover art).

    Galaxy 4 emailed me on Friday (21st Dec) to let me know they have despatched 13th Doctor and the one I ordered from from Whoshop arrived yesterday.

    I also ordered 2 from Character Options but they haven’t sent them out yet. I did get these for my nieces and hoped they would have arrived before xmas, I’ll make a visit to B&M tomorrow and get them each a cheap toy so that they have something to open on xmas day and give them the Jodies when they arrive as a bonus present, they wasn’t expecting them so it will still be a nice surprise for them 🙂

      The one in Nottingham, I went back to get the TotD set, but it had gone. They also only had 6 of the 13th Doctor 5 inch figures left, they had loads yesterday, so I think she is quite popular.

      Just really disheartened that I lost out on the other set.

      Do they even send out dispatch notices before shipping?

    Mines just been delivered from Character. The packaging is damaged because they sent it inside a Jiffy bag envelope and not a box which is very annoying.

    It’s good to have it though before Christmas, it’s just a shame there’s no Tardis to go with it!

      I ordered 2 figures (just to take advantage of the free postage when you spend £25) the other one isn’t that bad so I’ll open the damaged one.

      It’s just annoying because I do like to keep most of my collection mint in unopened packaging.
