Doctor Who12th Doctor 5.5″ Figure in Purple Shirt
Available to order from www.toysrus.co.uk
Also available to order from www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk
Available to buy in Australia from www.popcultcha.com
Doctor Who follows the adventures of the last Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey who simply goes by the name “The Doctor”. At the end of the 2013 season, The Doctor regenerated into his new form and new personality, and is portrayed by legendary Scottish actor Peter Capaldi. This new incarnation, the Twelfth Doctor, is a spiky, brusque, pragmatic, yet funny, passionate and fearless character who travels with his companion, Clara Oswald. His adventures with (and without) Clara in the 2014 season lead him to make tough and ruthless decisions that make him question his character and the value of his travels.
This all new 5 inch tall figure showcases the new look The Doctor takes on after the regeneration, featuring his now signature dark blue Crombie-style coat with red lining, dark blue trousers, a long collared purple shirt buttoned to the top with no tie, and brogue boots. He also comes with his trusty sonic screwdriver.

October 10th, 2015 - 8:14pmGreat review – just watched it. The figure in your review looks so much better than the official image too.

October 10th, 2015 - 10:29pmGreat review! 😀

October 10th, 2015 - 11:03pmI am a massive fan and love all your reviews! I feel that you do a great job of showing off the figures and your time of the doctor review made me really want to buy the set. Keep up the good work, I’m looking forward to what you have to say about the missy figure when it comes out!

October 10th, 2015 - 5:04pmCan I add a picture to a comment? If not, I’ll try and send some to Booboo later
booboo
October 10th, 2015 - 5:05pmyou can if you know how to code it, i am not at home this weekend to do very much
The Living Shadow
October 10th, 2015 - 5:08pmI see, do you think if I took a photo on my phone, then copied it and pasted it into the comment box it would send it?
booboo
October 10th, 2015 - 5:09pmdon’t know probably not
The Living Shadow
October 10th, 2015 - 5:15pmAh well! It’s a great figure, the shirt (incase some people were wondering) is quite purple, but I personally think it looks fine!
booboo
October 10th, 2015 - 5:17pmtry sending them to [email protected] see what i can do
The Living Shadow
October 10th, 2015 - 6:21pmSent! Sorry it took a while, I hope you got it 🙂

October 10th, 2015 - 1:00pmThe shirt is too purple, and, for the majority of ‘Robots of Sherwood’ his top button on the jacket was done up, which, makes this a bit odd for me, but, a nice figure nonetheless. I must admit I was hoping the black one would be out next, that’s the one I’ve been looking forward to most because it will look the most ‘minimalist’, matching Capaldi’s initial desires for the costume so that one for me will be the most like ’12’ for these releases. Does anyone know what’s occurring with that variant though, I’ve heard all sorts? It’s already out in the USA, we’re going to get it here, but only at TRU, any info?
Jamie
October 10th, 2015 - 11:31amI am going to pre order this, anyone know any Forbidden Planet codes?

October 10th, 2015 - 10:04ami am afraid i am still not feeling it,
have you ever looked at any of the doctors in there outfit and said…”yup thats the one”
when i saw peter in his first outfit, with the jacket done up and the red lining inside, i said “yup thats him”
but none of these figures are like that sadly
2doctors2000
October 10th, 2015 - 11:03amI think the upcoming purple velvet coat will suit him perfectly, I hope for a figure of that!
EndlessTimelord
October 10th, 2015 - 9:53amAm I the only one who loves this figure and thinks it very accurate for a figure? I LOVE IT! 😀
Hazbo
October 10th, 2015 - 11:18amI love it too, but sadly the shirt is a bit too purple
EndlessTimelord
October 10th, 2015 - 2:28pmI’m not that bothered about it for some reason. But sadly I do agree.
davrosdestroyer
October 10th, 2015 - 9:38pmno,same here.
cyberdoctor42
October 9th, 2015 - 11:54pmIf my local forbidden planet does not have the white shirt one next time I’m there I’ll purchase this one because i feel that it works far better than the ridiculous polka-dot one.
Dalek Smith
October 9th, 2015 - 11:44pmThere are a few black shirt figures on ebay
Dalek Smith
October 9th, 2015 - 11:44pmNow I’ve seen that I’m going to have to think about that one or this purple one
Anonymous
October 10th, 2015 - 12:00amHave the black shirt version been released in the uk yet or is it a usa exclusive?
Doctor Stu
October 9th, 2015 - 10:24pmIt’s a bit purple
Hazbo
October 9th, 2015 - 9:50pmI might be wrong, but didn’t he wear the purple shirt in the robots of sherwood
Hazbo
October 9th, 2015 - 9:54pmOk, so just looked up a picture and he wasn’t wearing that colour, it was much more burgandy, but due to the white shirt variation being sold out, in going to get this one, I think the polka shirt variant isn’t great
ARandomWhovian
October 9th, 2015 - 9:44pmWHY IS IT SO PURPLE?
Greg
October 9th, 2015 - 10:04pmThey just haven’t taken time to get these variants right!
ARandomWhovian
October 9th, 2015 - 10:39pmYeah, I’ve made a list of inaccruries!
White Shirt – no waistcoat
Polka Dot – dots are too big
Purple Shirt – too purple
Hopefully the black now will be the best!
booboo
October 10th, 2015 - 8:58amwhite shirt isnt inaccurate it was seen on screen; but not for long

October 9th, 2015 - 11:29pmThey have completely screwed up this series. For a start the 12th Doctor is out of scale with the rest of the Doctors (how can they make that mistake). Secondly for the prices these are being sold at you would expect at least one unique accessory as well as the Sonic (Psychic Paper, Yo-yo, an arrow to stick onto Tardis and a Spoon would have all been nice, cheap but cool accessories).
I understand the business reason behind the repaints…but I think the White Shirt variant should have had the blue cardigan/waistcoat.
CO made such a great job of the War Doctor and the Time of the Doctor sets (The Impossible set was ok…11th Doctor is great but Oswin is awful) and the Missy figures look as is they will be good….but they have let us and themselves down with these 12th Doctor releases.
Greg
October 10th, 2015 - 12:25amYou’ve nailed it A RandomWhovian! I agree with all your observations! I think the black will probably now be the best! There is no way I’m going to buy the polka dot version with those ridiculous, oversized dots or this silly purple version!
How hard can it be to look at the on-screen costume and copy it exactly!?
The Foretold
October 10th, 2015 - 10:52amIronically, you state the black shirt will be the best, despite it definitely not appearing on screen… 🙂
ARandomWhovian
October 10th, 2015 - 11:40am@The Foretold, it was in Time Hist
Kribu
October 10th, 2015 - 4:45pm@ARandomWhovian – the Time Heist shirt was actually dark blue. It looks close enough to black on-screen though (and the black is closer to the Time Heist look than this one compared to the one worn in ROS) and I agree it looks best overall.
James A
October 9th, 2015 - 9:39pmA Magician’s Apprentice/ Witch’s Familar set would be easy! Just a bunch of releases with repaints
– Davros
– Supreme Dalek
– 60s Classic Dalek
– Missy
MrHaloWho
October 9th, 2015 - 9:56pmAnd a 12th Doctor from the episode.
The magicians apprentice
October 9th, 2015 - 10:30pmOr how about instead of missy clara in her magicans apprentice costumr
Dalek Smith
October 9th, 2015 - 9:13pmFINALLY! This is the variant I’ve been waiting for!
Anonymous
October 9th, 2015 - 9:39pmIs the polka dot version not as limited?
Aidan Gula
October 9th, 2015 - 9:46pmSame!
Dalekparadigm2
October 9th, 2015 - 8:46pmDon’t know if I want to get this or not. Really can’t decide. I got white shirt but I don’t know whether to get this or wait for black shirt in the UK.
Dalekparadigm2
October 9th, 2015 - 8:47pmOr I might save my money for something like the Clara figure
Greg
October 9th, 2015 - 9:36pmI’m thinking the same thing!
ChristopherAdventures
October 9th, 2015 - 8:21pmis anyone else really annoyed about the shape of the legs?
Tom
October 9th, 2015 - 8:17pmJust ordered one each for me and my boyfriend
Doctor Stu
October 9th, 2015 - 8:46pmI don’t know whether to get it or not I’m not sure about the face
GallifreyanKnight
October 9th, 2015 - 7:38pmMakes me wonder when a variant with Sonic Shades will be released, lol.
Aidan Gula
October 9th, 2015 - 8:19pmIn this new range, I’m hoping for:
-Black jumper (Listen)
-Black jumper and Hoodie (Last Christmas)
-White t-shirt, Hoodie, Checkered Trousers, Sunglasses, and Guitar (The Magician’s Apprentice)
Dalekparadigm2
October 9th, 2015 - 8:43pmHow about Red Crombie with Waistcoat?
Aidan Gula
October 9th, 2015 - 9:47pmOh yes of course
Anonymous
October 10th, 2015 - 7:51amWe need a rock star Capaldi with hoodie, big hair, shades and guitar!!
Greg
October 9th, 2015 - 7:30pmI might actually wait until the black shirt variant comes out in the UK!!
Jason
October 9th, 2015 - 7:16pmBought this today in Forbidden Planet, Stoke on Trent.
Daleksaresupreme
October 9th, 2015 - 7:12pmMy local FP already has these in.
Cool Salsa
October 9th, 2015 - 7:09pmGreat, another ‘FPI exclusive’ are any of these going to come into shops like toys r us?
Anonymous
October 9th, 2015 - 8:01pmNo thanks!
TheDaleksDeath
October 9th, 2015 - 6:58pmI hate how inaccurate this is.
Greg
October 9th, 2015 - 7:28pmAgreed!
DoctorSong2016
October 9th, 2015 - 9:21pmit isn’t inaccurate, the purple looks off because im 99% sure this has been photoshopped and the actual one will look much better
Matthew Friel
October 9th, 2015 - 6:50pmWhite shirt variant out of stock..? 🙁
Dalek1963
October 9th, 2015 - 6:45pmI’m guessing that this I just another new figure that no one within Australia or New Zealand will be able to get at a reasonable price
cyberdoctor42
October 9th, 2015 - 11:56pmNo one anywhere can get these figures at a reasonable price.
TrustYourDoctor
October 9th, 2015 - 6:28pmWhen did he wear that?.. Thought it was a red/burgondy colour???
Greg
October 9th, 2015 - 6:35pmI was going to order this one, but the shirt colour is all wrong! I thought it was going to be burgundy too!!
Greg
October 9th, 2015 - 6:39pmJust had a trawl through some pictures of his actual costume from Robots of Sherwood – some of them look brown, some burgundy and one looks really purple!!
DoctorSong2016
October 9th, 2015 - 9:26pmits definitely not burgundy, but no where near that purple
Exterminator
October 9th, 2015 - 6:27pmIt says exclusive to fpi. So that’s all 3 so far.
DoctorSong2016
October 9th, 2015 - 9:27pmim pretty sure the polka dot version didn’t say exclusive to FPI
thedoctortrash
October 9th, 2015 - 6:16pmI cant wait until they actually release the Twelfth Doctor with Sunglasses
TrustYourDoctor
October 9th, 2015 - 6:29pmIf they do that, I hope they either drastically update the head sculpt or us the TOTD head!
Aidan Gula
October 9th, 2015 - 8:20pmIn this new range, I’m hoping for:
-Black jumper (Listen)
-Black jumper and Hoodie (Last Christmas)
-White t-shirt, Hoodie, Checkered Trousers, Guitar, and Swappable Head with Sunglasses (The Magician’s Apprentice)
Dominic
