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 26th, 2015 - 7:16pmbooboo you know that collectors series clara figure we saw back in july and it was just a repaint, do you think that was the real thing? or could it have just been a prototype?
booboo
September 26th, 2015 - 7:44pmno i think it was the real thing
The Silent Silent
September 26th, 2015 - 6:56pmI Would love it if they released a 10th Doctor from Day of the Doctor with Updated articulation and new head sculpt / hair. Also, you could swap the shirts / heads to have possible variants
We can only dream 🙂
TrustYourDoctor
September 26th, 2015 - 7:02pmthat would be great! they should do a small DOTD wave!
Including:
-Updated 10th doctor
-Updated 8th doctor
-Clara
-Kate
-Osgood
The Silent Silent
September 26th, 2015 - 6:54pmWhy don’t they do like a Master 11 doctors set ????
DoctorSong2016
September 26th, 2015 - 7:03pmi think they should do a B&M Master set that includes ;
Roger Delgado Master
Anthony Ainley Master
either Professor Yana (repainted head) or a John Simm Master rerelease
I think it would compliment the Missy figure quite nicely and with the crispy master released in the other bm set it gives people a chance to have all the master if they don’t already and think of the custom possibilities.
TheDoctor
September 26th, 2015 - 6:44pmI would love to see an updated 11 doctors set in the 5.5 inch range with new sculpts for all the doctors AND all of them with the new articulation that 11, 12 and Missy have! that would be soo good! think it would be pretty damn pricy but I’d be willing to anything up to £200 for it!! what does anyone else think? would you get something like that booboo?
booboo
September 26th, 2015 - 6:52pmthey would never sell enough sadly to warrant all new sculpts and tooling
TrustYourDoctor
September 26th, 2015 - 6:53pmI think that sounds amazing! I would love a new version of that set as well! it would be crazy expensive though but it would be well worth it! we really need an updated 10th doctor with that new articulation! he really deserves it and I think it’d be something that could be released on its own as well as I think there would be a pretty high demand for it!!
TheDoctor
September 26th, 2015 - 6:55pmBooboo, do you think we might see some of the doctors released on there own that have updated bodies and sculpts and stuff?
booboo
September 26th, 2015 - 6:56pmpersonally i dont think so
TrustYourDoctor
September 26th, 2015 - 7:04pmWhat makes you think that booboo?
booboo
September 26th, 2015 - 7:43pmto expensive
The13thDoctor
September 26th, 2015 - 6:42pmSomething else I would love to see is an updated 11 doctors set in the 5.5 inch range with new sculpts for all the doctors AND all of them with the new articulation that 11, 12 and Missy have! that would be soo good! think it would be pretty damn pricy but I’d be willing to anything up to £200 for it!! what does anyone else think? would you get something like that booboo?
The13thDoctor
September 26th, 2015 - 6:13pmWho does everyone want the next 5.5 inch figure/figures to be released?? I’d quite like to see a New Clara, the new cybermen, a Danny Pink figure and a NOTD 8th doctor!
booboo
September 26th, 2015 - 6:19pmI can see a Cyberman and 8th doctor
DoctorSong2016
September 26th, 2015 - 6:22pmOsgood or a magicians apprentice 12, I don’t mind whether we get a NOTD 8 but I think there is so many better figures we could get than Danny Pink, I wouldn’t mind a cyberdanny but atm I really want osgood
Anonymous
September 26th, 2015 - 6:24pmIs there any chance a cyberman figure would be cheaper than this ( with plenty of people wanting more than one)
booboo
September 26th, 2015 - 6:51pmpossibly
The13thDoctor
September 26th, 2015 - 6:30pmI would REALLY REALLY REALLY love to see and updated 11 doctors set with all 13 doctors in it with updated sculpts and costumes and the thing I’d really love to see in a new set like that would be the new articulation they have given to figures like 11, 12 and missy! I would particularly like an updated 10th doctor with this new style of articulation! I would be more than happy to pay anywhere up to £200 for that set, it’d be amazing! what does anyone else think of this? and what do you think Booboo? would you be up for that?
mark Belsom
September 26th, 2015 - 8:39pmSome classic companions would be nice. Or Anthony Ainley in his proper outfit.
DoctorDalek2201
September 26th, 2015 - 5:35pmJust placed the order for the black variant, but the both look equally good figures.
The Werewolf
September 26th, 2015 - 4:54pmThe Missy figure looks very impressive in those pics booboo. I preferred the purple on instinct, but the black does look very good actually. Did you get a purple one too booboo?
booboo
September 26th, 2015 - 5:02pmJust the black one
DoctorSong2016
September 26th, 2015 - 5:14pmdoes the figure have a hard plastic skirt and jacket or soft?
booboo
September 26th, 2015 - 5:25pmsoft
DoctorSong2016
September 26th, 2015 - 5:44pmare talking clara figure soft or more like TOTD figure jacket
booboo
September 26th, 2015 - 6:18pmno not as soft as Clara More like TOTD but perhaps slightly more rigid
DoctorSong2016
September 26th, 2015 - 6:23pmok cool, thanks
StetsonDoctor
September 26th, 2015 - 4:50pmI’d like to order both if I can, at some point anyway. Bearing in mind there are only 4,000 of each, how late should I leave it? Might there still be some (on pre-order) left in a month’s time?
prototype dalek
December 7th, 2015 - 4:54pmNever leave limited editions too late
Trenzalore
September 26th, 2015 - 4:34pmJust ordered them both, very excited for them. The amount of articulation sounds like its going to be a really fun figure.
It looks quite good in the pictures which means it should look brilliant in hand. Can’t wait to add it to my collection 😀
Trenzalore
September 26th, 2015 - 4:46pmI liked the way he announced it, he answered all the questions rather than us having to guess. Hopefully we get more announcements like this. Also VERY glad its re-sealable.
Dalekparadigm2
September 26th, 2015 - 4:02pmJust ordered the black outfit as I like all my masters to match (except for Yana). Does anyone know where to get an Anthony Ainley master figure from as he’s the last I need now.
wholords2
September 26th, 2015 - 5:58pmThe ainley master is very very hard to get now
I got mine for £50 in the planet of fire set boxed
Matthew
September 26th, 2015 - 3:56pmIt looks smaller than the 5 inch masters I though it was 5.5
booboo
September 26th, 2015 - 4:20pmthey are actual all 5.5″
Cyberman Bill
September 27th, 2015 - 2:56amWhy do everybody think that this line is bigger (5.5) than the old line. They are exactly the same. No difference. That has been said time and time again but yet, for some reason, it doesn’t seem to register with some people. This size of figures is 5.5″
booboo
September 27th, 2015 - 7:36amThat’s because for the last few years this line, rightly or wrongly has always been referred to as 5″ by the wider fan base.
You will notice that the official blurb on the 12th Doctor and curator is also 5″.
The boxes state 5.5″ so its bounds to lead to confusion with Jo Public
Its also clear that the Curator and 12th Doctor are not in scale with previous releases (although there are variations within those even) and are to big, hence people also thinking the “scale” has changed.
Missy however does not suffer from this problem as the photos show.
Cyberlord
September 26th, 2015 - 3:49pmJust ordered the purple variant. Can’t wait!
wholords2
September 26th, 2015 - 3:30pmBooboo, how come your polka dot 12th doc and TOTD set is all scratched in the pictures
booboo
September 26th, 2015 - 4:09pmits just light reflections of the plants
did notice it until you said to be honest its just on the one
edit juts had a look not on the original just be the upload going to change it
Nathan
September 26th, 2015 - 2:55pmThese new pictures look amazing. Can’t wait for mine to arrive!!!
Aster
September 26th, 2015 - 2:50pmbooboo where could I get similar garden decorations such as the hedges and flower pots from your photos.
booboo
September 26th, 2015 - 3:11pmthey are dolls house items easily available
Aster
September 26th, 2015 - 3:13pmah right ok,. thanks very much booboo – great pictures

September 26th, 2015 - 1:53pmAre there any promotional codes for character options online? I already know about the free shipping deal but was wondering if any others are available?
DannyTheNerd
September 26th, 2015 - 1:53pmBooboo please could i use your pictures of missy? I would like to use them on my site.
booboo
September 26th, 2015 - 2:35pmyes that ok as long as you say where they came from
have you seen all the new ones?
DannyTheNerd
September 26th, 2015 - 2:44pmI will metion that they are your photo’s. And yes i have seen the new one’s. They look super cool! 😀
DannyTheNerd
September 26th, 2015 - 1:14pmWhy does it say in stock and then says “EXPECTED DESPATCH W/C 2ND NOVEMBER 2015” Surely if its in stock they should dispatch it next week not in 2 months!
booboo
September 26th, 2015 - 1:33pmits not in stock, Character site is not geared up to pre orders at the moment
DannyTheNerd
September 26th, 2015 - 1:51pmOh that explains it then xD Thanks booboo

Purple Missy looks amazing
Nobody in particular
September 26th, 2015 - 10:53amI thought they would’ve sold out by now. I guess only people who have been following figure news will really know about them.
prototype dalek
December 7th, 2015 - 4:55pmMaybe if people buy them to sell them off for more
The Silent Silent
September 26th, 2015 - 9:21amWill the black version become extremely rare ???
Doctor 909
September 26th, 2015 - 10:31amUndoubtedly, if the US didn’t order them, then there could only be 4000 in existence, unless Austrailia ordered them.
Ian
September 26th, 2015 - 10:49amAustralia hasn’t ordered them. Both could become rare in time. But at the moment CO have not sold out.
DoctorSong2016
September 26th, 2015 - 10:56amwell as far as we know there are 10,000 purple Missy’s, 6000 in the US and 4000 in the UK
The Living Shadow
September 26th, 2015 - 8:29amI hope to get both. The purple outfit look is a little more iconic and I like the headsculpt, but the grinning head on the black outfit figure is just fantastic! Generally I think likenesses definetely look better on figures when they’re pulling some kind of expression!
DoctorWotM8
September 26th, 2015 - 7:33amI live in the US, do you guys think I should wait until the Purple Variant comes out in the US (Is there even a confirmed date? o.o) or order it with the high cost of international shipping from the UK? Thanks! 😀
booboo
September 26th, 2015 - 7:46amThe USA are due to get 6000 purple dress and some stage and whona said they will get a few but likely to be $40. Its unclear how the rest are going to be sold.
They will be in the USA packaging.
UT haven’t said anything as yet so we don’t know what happening
Alex
September 26th, 2015 - 4:27amThe prototype black dress doesn’t do the actual figure justice. First off it needs to be viewed slightly from the side, once you get the angle right it is one of the most spot on head sculpts they’ve ever done. I’m a sucker for limited edition so I ordered both.
According to Al the USA haven’t ordered any of the black dress, so it’s expected to sell out quick and become super rare…
souffleboy99
September 26th, 2015 - 1:18amJust ordered the purple one! I cant wait to get it, I wonder how long it will be though?
Doctor_Number 10
September 26th, 2015 - 12:14amBooboo, does this mean that 5.5 scale figures are making a full come back? What ever happened to the 3.75 figures?
booboo
September 26th, 2015 - 7:52amAll i know is this is the start of a possible collectors line but with maybe a few a year if it works out
Wave 4a of the 3.75″ figures seems to be now exclusive to toys r us if their latest catalogue is right
They also “appear” to be expecting something else…
koloth
September 26th, 2015 - 8:38amToys r Us don’t have wave 4 yet. 4a has only been available at Forbidden Planet so far.
booboo
September 26th, 2015 - 9:03amsorry i meant wave 4b

September 26th, 2015 - 9:26amyes that its

September 25th, 2015 - 11:00pmI think I’ve gone for the same as most people-purple outfit. I would have preferred swappable heads but I’m happy with my choice!
Antonio Zambonini
September 25th, 2015 - 11:20pmI think if u buy both they are swappable heads like al dewl said in the video
mark Belsom
September 25th, 2015 - 10:11pmSomeone on the Toys”r”us web site posted this figure by mistake on Wednesday on their site,then it was removed.

DoctorSong2016
September 25th, 2015 - 11:11pmNo I meant about it being a fake, I saw it on the night it first appeared, do we know where the screenshot actiually originated from?
booboo
September 26th, 2015 - 7:58amA poster on a forum, they edited the post later but only after it was put on twitter etc
i didn’t believe it for one minuet which is why i wouldn’t let any of the comments through

mark Belsom
September 26th, 2015 - 12:07pmThought it was a bit strange. Sadly the manager at my local Toys”r”us doesn’t like doctor who,so they wouldn’t have got the figure anyway.

September 25th, 2015 - 10:01pmyes would have been a nice option.
I have gone for the purple though, glad there is a hat option too.
