Doctor Who 5.5″ Action Figure Missy UK Packaging Exclusive
These exclusive and limited edition action figures are highly detailed and features 18 points of articulation, interchangeable head (with hat) and iconic accessories including Missy’s umbrella and “Missy Device”.
Available to order now Exclusively in the UK from www.character-online.com
Character Options has unveiled details of a brand new Limited Edition Doctor Who 5.5” scale action figure. Images of the Missy figure, first in a new range of scale Doctor Who Collector Series toys were revealed by Alasdair Dewar, Product Development Director, today via video on the Character Options’ website.
Missy, played by Michelle Gomez, is a villainous Time Lady who recently revealed herself as the Doctor’s arch enemy, the Master! Missy has been firmly established as a new fan favourite character, and as a collector’s figure, she is truly a must have.
The Missy Figure will be available in two variants; a purple outfitted version with hat from the series finale episodes; and alternatively in her ‘Heaven’ outfit, hatless with black jacket and manic grin.
The Missy figures each have 18 points of articulation and are highly detailed and decorated. Each figure head can also be swapped so that both heads can be incorporated with either outfit, and they both come with accessories.
The bespoke UK Collector Series packs are perfect for display and for the first time are re-sealable, so that the figures can be enjoyed in or out of packaging without losing their collectability.
Only 4,000 units of each of the two figures are available in exclusive UK packaging at www.character-online.co.uk for a price of £19.99 each (excluding P&P). Delivery will be made to customers by early November.
Al Dewar states: “Character Options has been designing, manufacturing and marketing Doctor Who toys since 2005, so as true fans of the brand we wanted to tell collectors the latest news in the most direct, if informal way, which is why I made the announcement in person on the website.
Missy is the first of a potential new line of highly sought after 5.5-inch action figures so we expect interest to be high and we are all very excited to share this with fans and collectors alike.
“Working with Michelle Gomez was great fun and she was the best subject we ever 3D scanned, patiently holding her facial expressions including her trademark Missy “sneer” for long periods of time. We know that many collectors have been eagerly waiting to see if Missy would at some point be included within our figure range, and at last, here she is.”
Available to order now Exclusively from www.character-online.com

September 24th, 2015 - 12:39pmRe pricing. Bear in mind these are limited releases and the packaging is more elaborate than a plastic bubble on a card. These prices are pretty much in line with other limited release figures give or take…. I’d happily pay for one of these than two pints of lager (and afterwards I still have this and no hangover)
booboo
September 24th, 2015 - 12:41pmI also think as these are direct from Character it will help fund development of further figures that we would just not get otherwise.

September 24th, 2015 - 12:34pmWent for both… Hoping this starts a new line of 5″ers……

Colin the 3rd
September 24th, 2015 - 11:32amThat side view of Missy in black in the box is spot on, superb
DannyTheNerd
September 24th, 2015 - 11:29amHow much is postage? I know it’s free of 25 pounds but how much is it if it don’t spend 25 pounds?
booboo
September 24th, 2015 - 11:30am£4.99
DannyTheNerd
September 24th, 2015 - 11:33am:O lol
7thwhovlogs

DannyTheNerd
September 24th, 2015 - 1:56pmYeah, but will end up paying £40 which is even more than £25. And besides i don’t need both lol
prototype dalek
December 7th, 2015 - 4:48pmBuy both, works out better
DannyTheNerd
September 24th, 2015 - 11:18amYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! Looks amazing! Altough not sure why this one is £20 and the 12th was £15, but who cares!? Definitely gonna get this one
The Legend Doctor
September 24th, 2015 - 12:23pmLittle bit more limited than 12th Doctor 🙂

September 24th, 2015 - 11:12amIs that our 1st look at purple shirt capaldi in the background?

September 24th, 2015 - 11:01amCan’t wait for thease going to order the purple one then black later on
Kane
September 24th, 2015 - 11:01amI must say, £19.99 + postage and packaging does seem quite expensive for a normal standard figure. that’s just over £40 for both, a little expensive in this day and age. Although I would love her figure, im sure because of high demand they’ll release an alternative figure within their next wave or two, which will only be £9.99!
Jamie
September 24th, 2015 - 11:06amThere will be no 5 inch version for 9.99! Those days are long gone! There is a 3.75 version coming that will be cheaper.
the doctor
September 24th, 2015 - 11:11amFree postage on orders over £25 as well
Mr Fish
September 24th, 2015 - 10:59amExciting stuff! That’s a really cool idea with how you can open it and seal it again as you like… I wonder what we’ll get next?!
DS
September 24th, 2015 - 11:21amYes, definitely a fan of the new packaging overall
Mr Fish
September 24th, 2015 - 11:23amYes it is nice! 🙂 Just ordered mine!! Really hope these sell well and we get further figures!
Reece
September 24th, 2015 - 10:50amDoes anyone know if character take the money straight away or only on dispatch?
Jdog
September 24th, 2015 - 10:46amThat’s lovely to hear. But how would people from Australia be able to get this?
DS
September 24th, 2015 - 11:07amI think Character delivers worldwide.
I was sure I caught a glimpse of something to this effect on character-online.com Apologies if this is not the case.
Jdog
September 24th, 2015 - 12:15pmI remember hearing people say that Character delivers worldwide but I thought that something different would be happening if the US market get packaging without the special border design, and the video did put emphasis on getting this being in the UK.

September 24th, 2015 - 10:42amI remember when Al originally said said there would be 2-3 of these collectors figures available each year…
We’ve had 5 announced so far in the space of a month!
T4RD1S
September 24th, 2015 - 11:04amWell so far we know there is,
4 variants of Capaldi
2 variants of Missy
Clara

TARDIS (it has the same packaging of Capaldi so it kind of counts)

November 30th, 2015 - 9:22amWe also have some rereleases such as rose and K9 and Sarah Jane and K9 as well
Judooning
September 24th, 2015 - 10:40amI think the black dress version looks better! Love it when she grins like that. Face sculpt is brilliant! And I do prefer that “softer” tone to the paint apps.
Character online now have their own separate page for the collectors figures so looks like we have many more to come! 😀
Cyberdevil
September 24th, 2015 - 10:37amOrdered! Although I’m not keen on the grinning Missy.
Anonymous
September 24th, 2015 - 10:31amA bit disappointing I think… I really don’t understand why there’s no classic or capaldi style tardis console set/diorama…. I have had one custom made in America for £100, I’m so sure there’s commercial value to producing them, think of all the variations they could do with them. By the way the custom made one looks amazing.

September 24th, 2015 - 10:46amJust sent some to booboo
Exterminator
September 24th, 2015 - 10:29amI’m pleased about this but for £20 they should’ve given us both head versions with each figure.
I prefer the purple outfit but like the mad grin on the other figure.
Anonymous
September 24th, 2015 - 10:32amYeah….not sure why 5 inch now cost double what they used to. I wouldnt mind if we got loads of accessories.
booboo
September 24th, 2015 - 10:37ambecause they probably used to sell probably double if not triple the amount before Woolworths went
people dont realise what an impact that had to the impulse buy market
Exterminator
September 24th, 2015 - 10:42amI think I’ll just get the purple one. BooBoo, any chance you can put one of those surveys up so we can see what people are going to get (both, purple, black, none)
booboo
September 24th, 2015 - 10:44amwill do
Exterminator
September 24th, 2015 - 10:56amThanks BooBoo.

September 24th, 2015 - 10:22amOrdered both instantly, very happy and feel lucky. just hope it doesn’t tower over all of my figures like my 12th Doctor…
Cyberman Bill
September 24th, 2015 - 10:21amWhere can we order them in the US?
Grand Moff Moffat
September 24th, 2015 - 10:41amNowhere yet.
Anonymous
September 24th, 2015 - 11:47amIf you watch the video the address for purchase in the US is given out.
Rob
September 24th, 2015 - 11:52amwhere?
I can only see Characters address and the postage is huge from them
Anonymous
September 24th, 2015 - 11:55amNo. It isn’t. It’s just the UK address.
Grand Moff Moffat
September 25th, 2015 - 10:47amSigh…
🙁 🙁 🙁
I feel like we’ve been getting the short end of the stick.
-No 5″ figures except for 12.
-The new 3.75″ figures have disappeared in this country, I can’t find series four of the figures.
– BBC charges a ton for DVDs of the show.
– Never seen Time Squad in this country either.
I wish that I could “say something nice”, but I can’t.
You guys can complain about how the figure looks and then buy it anyway; I can’t even buy it for a reasonable price!
Slitheen97
September 24th, 2015 - 10:20amOrdered my 2! 😀
Nathan
September 24th, 2015 - 10:18amDoes anybody know if Character Online charges you immediately for items, or when they are dispatched? I really want one of these, but won’t be able to afford it until next week.
Pat
September 24th, 2015 - 10:22amimmediate nathan
Nathan
September 24th, 2015 - 10:23amOkay, thanks. Just have to hope they don’t sell out too quickly.
GallifreyanKnight
September 24th, 2015 - 10:16amI suppose it’s good for those that want a Missy figure.
The face sculpt is rubbish though. Looks nothing like Michelle Gomez.
I’m honestly a bit underwhelmed.
I love Missy, but not enough to want to buy a figure of her.
On a side note, Al said that Missy’s “death mobile” was infact a teleport device. That would explain how Missy isn’t dead in season 35, but that would also explain how Osgood is able to return, even though she was apparently “vaporised”. 🙂
