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

October 30th, 2015 - 1:53pmI ordered mine the day after it was announced, should I be worried it hasn’t come yet?
booboo
October 30th, 2015 - 1:55pmnot really at the moment
they will be sending out 1000’s so there are bound to issues with postal times etc

October 30th, 2015 - 1:03pmMy Missy figure came today 😀 Definitely worth the wait and price! Hopefully going to get the Purple version for Christmas 😀

October 30th, 2015 - 12:55pmBoth of mine just arrived in the post, I only ordered them last week as well, I am very happy 🙂

October 30th, 2015 - 12:11pmMy black dress Missy just arrived and its amazing! Looks great with my purple shirt 12th Doctor.
Doctor Stu
October 30th, 2015 - 11:51amTwo black came yesterday instead of one of each so I sent one of the black ones back asking for a purple replacement but then a purple one came in the post today before I’d even sent the return back so this means they must have made an error and accidentally sent two black as opposed to replacing the purple one with the black by accident. Does this mean I’m going to get another purple one arrive in a couple of days

October 30th, 2015 - 12:53pmYay free Missy’s

October 30th, 2015 - 9:04amCame yesterday very happy
Thinking out loud
October 30th, 2015 - 1:24pmReally surprised yesterday when Missy arrived, most unexpected!
I ordered the purple version, this is a truly excellent figure!
Loving the new packaging across the range and the bar has been raised.
Simply cannot wait to see the 8th Doctor and I think future figures could move from strength to strength.
If they ever release a Master Box set perhaps it could include;
Roger Delgado re-issue (original was great)
Geoffrey Beavers (Keeper of Traken) re-issue
Anthony Ainley in Logopolis/TOATL famous common garb with his version of the tissue compression eliminator
Eric Roberts (Time Lord Robes or Leather Jacket version perhaps with swappable heads one with snake eyes the other with shades) and snake accessory (unlikely due to rights issue apparently)
Derek Jacobi – matt finish face repaint re-issue
John Simms – With the black overcoat with red inner lining he wore over his suit as seen in the sound of drums and the last of the time lords…. and why not have a few more Toclafane
Michelle Gomez – haven’t seen the black smiling figure in hand but confident it does not disappoint. Re-issues could feature straight face without hat or smiling face with hat???

October 30th, 2015 - 6:47amReally hope mine arrive today while I am at school I ordered both of them but I am keeping the purple one for my birthday because the purple one looks like the best one

October 30th, 2015 - 10:38amI got off last Thursday!
I’m not the doctor if your wondering
October 30th, 2015 - 10:46amMy school has a two week half term yay
TheWarDoctor
October 30th, 2015 - 1:27pmPerhaps the poster is from Scotland, we had the half term the week before england & wales broke up for half term.
whotoys
October 30th, 2015 - 3:01pmYeah I live in Scotland
Aster
October 29th, 2015 - 9:20pmOn my purple one, one of the heels are longer than the other – anybody else have this problem ?
Greg
October 29th, 2015 - 9:35pmInteresting! Does it affect the figure when you display it (i.e. can it stand up okay?)
Aster
October 29th, 2015 - 10:03pmI’ve managed to pose it so it stands by itself now. But I popped off the leg quickly and it seems the plug is bent so just put it back in as I don’t want to break it or anything

October 29th, 2015 - 9:20pmMy purple has arrived but not the black. I ordered the black later that day, so hopefully it comes tomorrow 🙂

October 29th, 2015 - 9:42pmwhen did you order yours?
Anonymous
October 29th, 2015 - 9:49pmI ordered mine the day it was released so I got it today
DoctorSong2016
October 29th, 2015 - 9:52pmim probably not getting mine till next week then as I ordered mine about a week after it went up for preorder
Trenzalore1502
October 29th, 2015 - 11:24pmI ordered mine on the first day too but I haven’t received anything today.
doctor w
October 29th, 2015 - 11:27pmI’d assume when people ordered doesn’t really matter to delivery times, i’d say it’s either location based or just quite random, or maybe depending on how good the postal service are in your area
Hazbo
October 29th, 2015 - 6:19pmDo you receive a dispatch email, because I ordered mine on the 1st of this month and haven’t got one, I have never ordered from character online before so I’m not sure is I will even get a dispatch email, so I’m just wondereding, will I get a dispatch email
Nathan
October 29th, 2015 - 6:21pmNobody has had dispatch emails. Apparently character don’t do them any more.
Hazbo
October 29th, 2015 - 8:54pmThanks, I was starting to get worried it wouldn’t come! 😀

October 29th, 2015 - 6:11pmMine has arrived! She is gorgeous!

October 29th, 2015 - 5:44pmI haven’t got this yet even though I ordered on the evening of the day the product became available for preorder. Kind of annoyed but loving looking at the pictures!

October 29th, 2015 - 5:45pmSo I forgot to put my name in that post! XD

October 29th, 2015 - 4:58pmGreat work on the paint jobs. Bit annoyed on the glue smudge on the purple but otherwise perfect!
whotoys
October 29th, 2015 - 4:48pmI haven’t got a dispatched email yet?
Greg
October 29th, 2015 - 4:53pmNo one has and no one will – character don’t do dispatch emails anymore!

October 29th, 2015 - 4:05pmI had my time squad figures come from character today but didn’t send my 2 missy figures with the other order.
the paternoster gang
October 29th, 2015 - 4:02pmI decided to just get the purple dress missy and it arrived earlier today. Overall I am very pleased with the figure. It has been painted very well and bears a great likeness to Michelle Gomez. One of my only gripes with it is that the teleport device is very loose in her hand but its a great figure.
Doctor Stu
October 29th, 2015 - 4:05pmI’ve put a bit of blue tack on the back of mine so it fits into her hand better
cyberdoctor42
October 29th, 2015 - 3:46pmThose of you who have theirs already please tell me ‘is she so fine?’ if so how do you think I will react when mine arrives?
Greg
October 29th, 2015 - 4:05pmThe likeness is superb (particularly on the purple version)
cyberdoctor42
October 29th, 2015 - 4:17pmThat’s good because I chose the purple version! And now we play the waiting game.
Greg
October 29th, 2015 - 4:58pmI hope you love it when it does arrive! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!
cyberdoctor42
October 30th, 2015 - 12:22amYeah, I think the main reason people ordered the black dress variant is to fit in with their master collection but I have no other master figures (except Derek Jacobi) as I was too young to truly appreciate the classic series figures when they came out.
DoctorSong2016
October 30th, 2015 - 1:12amhow do you have Jacobi but not simm

October 29th, 2015 - 3:36pmSpoke to CO today told me mine is on its way.
