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

STRAXTHEDESTROYER
October 3rd, 2015 - 7:43pmSo which one is more limited , black or purple, in terms of quantity released in the uk??
The magicians apprentice
October 3rd, 2015 - 7:49pmBlack is going to be rarer as other countries such as USA and astralua only orderd the purple so there only is 4000 black
STRAXTHEDESTROYER
October 3rd, 2015 - 11:51pmThank you
PheebsegirlFA
October 3rd, 2015 - 7:09pmbooboo, do you have any idea when we will get the figures and will it be soon?
booboo
October 3rd, 2015 - 7:24pmI dont it will probably take some time to get the orders processed but is they are actually in stock now it shouldn’t be to long
Doctor Stu
October 3rd, 2015 - 7:28pmDo you think it will be before November though
booboo
October 3rd, 2015 - 7:33pmwell if the actually have them i cant see them not starting to despatch them
shatner
October 3rd, 2015 - 6:10pmi just checked my info on character page as when i ordered the computer made a mistake putting an old address on my billing and all my info has now reverted back to the old address. I have now changed it for the third time. I hope they havn’t printed my label for delivery yet as cannot call them till monday. Do you think they will start to dispatch next week please?
booboo
October 4th, 2015 - 10:52amDon’t know to be honest
shatner
October 4th, 2015 - 2:20pmthanx… i like your new avatar.
Charlie
October 3rd, 2015 - 6:10pmDo you think there are more scans unannounced? If so, who?
I know Ingrid Oliver has already said she has been scanned for an Osgood figure…
booboo
October 3rd, 2015 - 6:19pmI would imagine they scan a lot of the major characters whilst they have the opportunity even if they have no immediate plans for a figure
Nobody in particular
October 3rd, 2015 - 8:05pmApparently they scan most of the main cast on the set before they film their scenes, so any character is a possibility. I believe that’s how we got Tom Baker as the Curator in figure form. Presumably they needed to get Michelle in for extra scans so they could do the different expressions
Doctorfan
October 3rd, 2015 - 5:20pmdo you think they’ll do a normal common version of the purple costume with same expression as it does on purple missy just no hat
Anonymous
October 3rd, 2015 - 5:56pmI don’t think they will in 5 inch otherwise what’s the point of these being exclusive?
Doctorfan
October 3rd, 2015 - 5:19pmdo you think they’ll do a normal common version of the purple c with same expression as it does on purple missy just no hat
Luke

Greg
October 3rd, 2015 - 9:28pmI think the War Doctor has to be up there! I also really liked the old and ancient 10th Doctor pack!
Doctor Stu
October 3rd, 2015 - 9:35pmMy favorite is the 5″ Davros and 5″ commander Staal because the likeness on both were 100% spot on
Luke
October 3rd, 2015 - 10:05pmI’m is the purple clockwork man, but also like the old and ancient 10th doctor.
daleksean

the paternoster gang
October 2nd, 2015 - 9:31pmAster, did you amend your order by adding the black dress missy because I saw you said you were thinking about it and am thinking to do the same.
Aster
October 2nd, 2015 - 10:10pmI ordered the black one seperately then emailed both order numbers and they refunded my delivery charges and are going to send both together 🙂
the paternoster gang
October 2nd, 2015 - 10:12pmCool, thanks for the reply
cyberdoctor42
October 2nd, 2015 - 8:45pmOrdered the purple one but haven’t ordered a 12th yet… Looks like I’ll be having some mismatched master mischief.
caolan

caolan

Anonymous

Aster
October 2nd, 2015 - 5:39pmhopefully we will get it this time next week then.
Antonio Zambonini
October 2nd, 2015 - 6:43pmI never ended up pre-ordering them now 🙁 but guess most likely when both missey and Carter set is develided the final figers will be realised
Antonio Zambonini
October 2nd, 2015 - 7:33pmI never ended up pre-ordering them 🙁 but I guess that most likely when both Missy Figures and the Curator set are delivered, the final figures will be released
FEoD
October 1st, 2015 - 9:22amI was kind of worried when BBTS offered to cancel my Curator pre-order because they’d listed it as 5″ scale rather than this new 5.5″ and hesitated to buy these, but from the photos they look pretty much the same size. Anyone got any idea why Character switched to labelling the range differently?
booboo
October 1st, 2015 - 9:34amdont really know why they did it
we know the 12th and curator are a tad to big but i think we can live with that, Missy is fine
shatner
October 2nd, 2015 - 12:05amI dont think the 12th Doctor figure is too big at all. peter is a tall fellow he always has to bend his knees.
cyberdoctor42
October 2nd, 2015 - 6:13pmI think it’s because with the late 10th/ early 11th doctor figures i notice they are slightly larger than the earliest figures.
The Moment
September 30th, 2015 - 9:15pmIf you could only have one Missy figure, which one would you get? The purple variant or the black variant?
Exterminator
October 2nd, 2015 - 8:03pmGet the black one, there’s fewer of them so it’ll be rarer.
The magicans apprentice
October 2nd, 2015 - 8:05pmid get the purple as thats the costume that missys probably going to wear all the time now
Anonymous
September 30th, 2015 - 8:08pmwill the purple one be released by Christmas booboo?
booboo
September 30th, 2015 - 8:23pmi hope so
TheDaleksDeath
September 30th, 2015 - 6:21pmMissy seems tiny!
M
September 30th, 2015 - 2:38pmHi booboo all these new figures are great! What’s with the delay on the likes of Clara and the black shirt doctor? Thanks
booboo
September 30th, 2015 - 2:39pmno delay, as far as i know they were supposed to spread out every 3-4 weeks
M
September 30th, 2015 - 5:05pmThank you. Should they all be released before 2016? Thanks again
booboo
September 30th, 2015 - 5:24pmi would think so
shatner
September 30th, 2015 - 1:19pmif november is the outside edge for delivery what is the quickest time for delivery if there are no delays? please. I wish I could just forget till November but this is the most exciting figure for ages.
Greg
September 30th, 2015 - 3:05pmHopefully at some point in October we’ll all get a nice surprise!
MrHalloWho
September 30th, 2015 - 7:18amJust ordered mine. There can’t be many left, surely? They said they’re only making 4000!
booboo
September 30th, 2015 - 8:03amwell 4000 of each and that’s a lot to sell from one source
cyberdoctor42
September 29th, 2015 - 6:45pmAre we gonna get a capaldi figure that isn’t fpi exclusive? I’m almost certain we will but just want to make sure.
Judooning
September 29th, 2015 - 5:50pmDebating if I should get another one of each to keep in their boxes as the packaging looks really nice.
When The Doctor Was Me
September 30th, 2015 - 10:19amThe packagings designed to be opened and closed without damaging it. So theres no need to buy 2 of each.
Anonymous
September 29th, 2015 - 5:47pmis it easy to stand up booboo?
booboo
September 29th, 2015 - 6:04pmi had no problem (edited)
cyberdoctor42
September 29th, 2015 - 6:43pmMakes sense, action figures in heels rarely work out, ask hasbro.
booboo
September 29th, 2015 - 6:54pmi meant to say no problem, Ainley Master was though
luke kelly
September 29th, 2015 - 3:52pmordering both next week on my birthday, gonna swap the heads though when i get them,
Michael
September 29th, 2015 - 9:54amI’m not impressed they take the money immediately. It’s fortunate it’s on my credit card and I don’t have to pay up until the bill is due in a few weeks
Anonymous
September 29th, 2015 - 3:33pmYeah, not many do that. Big Finish do, but they are a small company and need that pre-orders to fund the materials. CO should have put something in place – they must have known in plenty of time they were going to do this.
I guarantee, this will get pushed out til December. The video said 2 or 3 weeks away and already they are now talking about November.
booboo
September 29th, 2015 - 4:11pmWhat’s the fuss, dont order until they have it if its such a big deal.
They probably need solid commitments rather than chasing declined and out of date cards as so often happens when things are ordered in advance.
They also said 2-3 weeks to clear customs, then it has to get to the distribution centre, labelled and sent out
If its on the boat any delays will be outside of characters control and they are putting sensible time line on it to try not to disappoint.
cyberdoctor42
September 29th, 2015 - 5:18pmYeah, I’m pretty happy with waiting till November
Michael
September 30th, 2015 - 10:22amI don’t think people are unhappy at waiting, it’s the paying in advance but NOT being told you would be paying in advance. When I order something on-line I expect to pay for it when it is dispatched unless I am told otherwise. I can then make a decision as to whether I can afford to pay for it NOW. I didn’t see anything on the site to say money would be taken immediately. It wasn’t a problem for me because I can afford it. However, I know people who would have gone into their overdraft if £40 was taken unexpectedly.
booboo
September 30th, 2015 - 10:50amThey have told you, its CLEARLY in the terms which EVERYONE should read before ordering
You also have to tick a box to say you have read them before the order is placed and there is a link to the terms right next to it
Its not characters fault if people dont read them
Quote
Please Note: We do charge your credit card or debit cards at the point of order. This is to ensure our financial systems are manageable and for no other reason. Sorry for any inconvenience.
and Quote
We now take payment at the point of order as a form of commitment from the customer.
Its not even in the small print they have put both quotes in BOLD
cyberdoctor42
October 3rd, 2015 - 6:19pmAlso when i preorder something I prefer to pay when i order it because then I feel more like i have actually ordered it and less like I’ve just said to the man at the till “would it be too much bother for you to hold onto one for me when you get them in?”
The magicians apprentice
September 28th, 2015 - 10:22pmWas there much point on putting a hat on Missy as she’s
Likely never going to wear it again
cyberdoctor42
September 28th, 2015 - 11:16pmIt’s to make it seem like more of a variation than it actually is- remove the hat and you’ve got yourself 2 almost identical action figures
DoctorSong2016
September 29th, 2015 - 3:15pmPlus this has probably been in development for as long as the 3.75 inch version was.
MrHalloWho
October 3rd, 2015 - 11:07amBut she also has different trimmings on her coat, which is something I expected the makers to missy.
Why couldn’t they add on a couple of pounds to the 12th Doctor in white shirt, and have a waistcoat??? I’d definitely buy it.
cyberdoctor42
September 28th, 2015 - 9:37pmFinally got the purple one ordered, although the consensus is that the black costumed variant has the superior headsculpt I feel that a more neutral facial expression lends itself more to posing, especially for a character such as missy.
Antonio
September 28th, 2015 - 6:51pmcant wait for tomoz can finally get both misseys so excited 🙂
MrHalloWho
October 3rd, 2015 - 11:08amIt’s not out until November.
Doctor Stu
September 28th, 2015 - 5:45pmAre these the only ones in existence or will there be more once they’re sold because I brought the black version and now really want the pink as well at a later date
The magicians apprentice
September 28th, 2015 - 6:36pmNo these aren’t the only Missy figures in existane there’s some being sent to austraila and america so if the purple one is sold out on character just import off whatever site Missy ends up on and there will be a packaging different if you import
