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 - 3:53pmBooboo will it go down in price cause it’s quite expensive for 1 figure?
booboo
September 24th, 2015 - 3:55pmI doubt it
this is the sort of price you will have to pay for a limited figure now
Jamie McCrimmon
September 24th, 2015 - 3:56pmThanks

LastOfTheSonics
September 24th, 2015 - 3:49pmDang, I wish I didn’t spend all my money on the Figurine Collection now
Jamie McCrimmon
September 24th, 2015 - 3:49pmPlz make there be a 5.5″ osgood or Kate stewart

September 24th, 2015 - 3:43pmWhat other figures are 5.5inchs?
Doctor RevWho
September 24th, 2015 - 3:31pmThe only thing presented here that is more beautiful than these figures is the packaging they come in. They look absolutely marvolous!
Doctor RevWho
September 24th, 2015 - 3:32pmAlso, can someone tell me when Missy wore black? I don’t remember that.
TrustYourDoctor
September 24th, 2015 - 3:37pmShe wore it in a lot of the scenes of her in ‘heaven’
TheAgeOfUltron
September 24th, 2015 - 3:39pmDeep Breath, Into the Dalek, The Caretaker, Flatline and In the Forest of the Night.
Doctor RevWho
September 24th, 2015 - 6:10pmAh, thank you.
the doctor
September 24th, 2015 - 3:31pmhoping to order the purple version if it doesn’t sell out with in the next 1 and a half hours
Plydoc
September 24th, 2015 - 3:17pmKind of wishing I didn’t sell my collection of 5″ figures now 🙁
Antonio Zambonini
September 24th, 2015 - 3:45pmYou ain’t the only one I miss my silent and Amelia pond figures I def miss 🙁
TrustYourDoctor
September 24th, 2015 - 3:14pmThis looks awesome!!!! Was hoping for maybe a few more releases as well in the 5.5 inch line, anyone think we’ll get a couple more figures like this??
Matthew
September 24th, 2015 - 3:11pmAre these limited in numbers or will they be available for a couple of months
booboo
September 24th, 2015 - 3:28pm4000 of each only, if they sell out that quick then bodes well for futures figures
Anonymous
September 24th, 2015 - 3:07pmpurple or black?
Luke
September 24th, 2015 - 3:44pmBoth
DoctorSong2016
September 24th, 2015 - 4:41pmim getting both at the same time, I know that if I bought one I would eventually buy the other and buying both at once comes to 10 pounds cheaper than ordering separately
ahunter8056
September 24th, 2015 - 2:59pmUnderwhelmed by the announcement, I was expecting multiple figures to be announced.
But anyway, the Missy figure looks decent enough. But I am disappointed that both heads are not included. The Purple dress is far too light coloured. Should be a lot darker. Going to have to do some mental debate before I can determine which one I’ll order. Certainly not going to buy both.
Braxos
September 24th, 2015 - 3:16pmEr…. but it is multiple figures, 2 in fact and different sculpts at that! The heads and and coats are different.
The colour tends to be a bit bright in these photos (also depending on your monitor settings) so I will reserve judgement on that.
booboo
September 24th, 2015 - 3:29pmsimply people setting the bar to high
we are effectively getting 7 figures in a short period of time already and this is an onine exclusive, there maybe other things we dont know yet
ahunter8056
September 24th, 2015 - 5:04pmBut it’s still a figure of the same character, with near identical body sculpt. Does not count as multiple figures. It’s the same figure with minor differences and a different head.
But PR definitely overhyped it. They could have just as easily done a simple announcement, but doing a whole advance announcement of the announcement with precise times made it seem like it would be a bigger deal than it ended up being. Especially considering that it was stated that it would be half an hour before a writeup of the announcement would be available (turned out being 10 minutes).
booboo
September 24th, 2015 - 5:58pmone would imagine they needed to attract as much attention as possible to make this work for them AND for collectors
Cyberlord
September 24th, 2015 - 2:42pmThis will look so cool with the 12th doctor, Clara, and the new flight control Tardis. Is the Tardis out yet?
booboo
September 24th, 2015 - 2:43pmon its way
Aster
September 24th, 2015 - 2:40pmbooboo, I’ve ordered the purple one but tempted to get the Black one now too, but I don’t want to have to pay another £5 for postage. Would they send both together if I order the black one now separately.
booboo
September 24th, 2015 - 2:43pmnot sure, can you amend the order?
Aster
September 24th, 2015 - 3:07pmI’ve emailed them so hopefully I’m able to sort it out. I decided seeing as the Black variant may become extremely rare I will get it and keep it boxed.
Antonio Zambonini
September 24th, 2015 - 2:37pmSay something nice this is awesome 😀
Cyberlord
September 24th, 2015 - 2:26pmI’m really pleased we’re getting this, but are there going to be more figures announced after. I was expecting at least a new cyberman or something.
booboo
September 24th, 2015 - 2:44pmToy r us are supposed to be getting something but we don’t know if its things we have already seen
Anonymous
September 24th, 2015 - 1:54pmDo you think it will sell out fast booboo?
booboo
September 24th, 2015 - 2:08pmno, steady flow i would think
8000 figures is a lot from one source.
Castrovala
September 24th, 2015 - 1:52pmBut I have order one of each bacause I need them. fingers crossed on the paint job
TheDarkAndTheLight
September 24th, 2015 - 1:55pmI’ll have to wait till tomorrow, but I might just do the same.
Luke
September 24th, 2015 - 1:58pmI have ordered both has well, lets hope the paint jobs are good.
TheDarkAndTheLight
September 24th, 2015 - 1:46pmI probably sound a bit mental in saying this, but I’m a bit OCD when it comes to paint jobs etc. and have never ordered a figure online for this reason. I always go through every version of any given figure on the shelf to literally hand-pick the best looking one, so I’m quite annoyed this is an online exclusive. Does anyone else feel that way? Or should I just deal with it and order the damn figures?
Castrovala
September 24th, 2015 - 1:49pmNo you are not the only one. I never order the FP exclusives on line, I wait til they our in my local FP then go through all of them to get the best paint job
Luke
September 24th, 2015 - 1:50pmI’m the same but I just had to order both figures.
booboo
September 24th, 2015 - 2:06pmWell for the vast majority of the population they have to order on-line as they dont live near a FP that have stocked recent figures
especially the 8.000 million + in London
So for most its not an option anyway
Ian
September 24th, 2015 - 3:32pmI am the same. I like to check each figure etc and find the best one. Same with Daleks, I don’t want ones with bent eyestalks and misaligned neck rings.
prototype dalek
December 7th, 2015 - 4:50pmI had that with dalek collector’s set 2 from forbidden planet online and the gold supreme daleks eye was bent
StetsonDoctor
September 24th, 2015 - 1:40pmIs money taken straight away or when despatched?
Luke
September 24th, 2015 - 1:43pmIts taken straight away.
StetsonDoctor
September 24th, 2015 - 1:45pmThanks
Aster
September 24th, 2015 - 1:38pmJust ordered the purple version – I’m ecstatic !!!!!!!
James
September 24th, 2015 - 1:36pmOrdered both, they look excellent, can’t wait to receive them.
Cousins2019
September 24th, 2015 - 1:32pmJust ordered the Purple one!
Luke
September 24th, 2015 - 1:21pmJust ordered both Missy figures.
Kribu
September 24th, 2015 - 1:14pmWas all set to get the purple one but … the additional £29.99 shipping charge is just far too much for one single figure, within Europe and all.
The figure itself looks terrific and the cost for a collector’s figure seems reasonable enough but yeah, the shipping costs push it from “would love to have one, yes!” to the “I don’t need it THAT badly” range for me.
Bruno B
September 24th, 2015 - 1:46pmI believe it’s a flat fee and you can order more than one for that price. It’s the case for some other countries.
Kribu
September 24th, 2015 - 1:58pmYeah, it’s a flat fee up to a certain weight, but since I don’t particularly want to buy any other figures, the shipping does make it prohibitively expensive for me.
Dalek the Supreme
September 24th, 2015 - 1:09pmBoth look great, but the black dress version has the sneer. Given the choice, I’m going after that one, if I can help it.
Exterminator
September 24th, 2015 - 1:00pmThis is actually a very clever move by Character Options, by cutting out the middle man and selling exclusives direct to the public themselves, they make maximum profits.
I wonder how forbidden planet and underground toys feel about this?
Handles
September 24th, 2015 - 12:52pmOMG!! I was literally just thinking the other day about how i wanted one. And here it is. So Cool. i might get both and swap the sneering face onto the purple dress
Greg
September 24th, 2015 - 12:45pmThis looks like a brilliant figure! I ordered a purple version as I feel this has the best likeness.
It says “in stock” on the character options website. I know Al was talking about it not being available for another 3 weeks, but does this mean it’s ready to be dispatched!?
booboo
September 24th, 2015 - 12:52pmwe will soon find out
we dont know how long ago that video was made
Greg
September 24th, 2015 - 1:02pmIt says the expected dispatch is W/C 2nd November, but hopefully it’ll be before that!
7thwhovlogs
September 24th, 2015 - 12:42pmGetting both!
