Rory Williams 5″ Action Figure Red Shirt, Blue Vest

Doctor Who 2012 – Rory Williams Action Figure

Amy Pond’s fiancée who, on his stag night found himself whisked away in the TARDIS. After defeating the Saturnynes and the Dream Lord, Rory was killed saving the Doctor’s life during a battle with the Silurians.

However, his body was absorbed by the time energies leaking across time and space – resulting in him never having existed. However, his essence was placed into an Auton replica of himself in Roman times and after briefly reuniting with Amy, he accidentally killed her.

To restore her, the Doctor placed her in the Pandorica and for two thousand years Rory stood guard over her, the legendary Lone Centurion. When time was finally rebooted, Rory became human again, married Amy and once again joined her and the Doctor in the TARDIS.


Recreate scenes from Doctor Who with this incredibly detailed and fully articulated 5-inch Rory Williams action figure. One supplied. For ages 5 years and over.

    looking at in again and again, it does acutally look like him, but it’s just the hair that diverts your eyes.

    its great! the hair and the nose and the shirt colour is what lets it down for me, but this is probably just the prototype image so who knows?

    I think we’re probably going to get full details within a couple of weeks like when the Seeds Of Doom or Castrovalva sets were “leaked” early. I do like the outfit and the face the problem is definitely the hair. I know some people are saying this is a prototype and the real one will be different but I say think of Rivers hair.

      the rory figure for me is one of the closest look a like figures ever in dr who. the ones which don’t look like the characters are…
      River Song
      Amy Pond
      Rose Tyler
      a few more

      It’s very difficult to get a ‘proper likeness’ at this size/type of figure. CO don’t always get it perfect but they do a pretty good job compared to a lot of other toy companies out there.

    I know that we are all moaning but we have waited ages for a Rory figure and when it is released it looks nothing like him. Ah well, definitely getting this, my dad drives trains for virgin and is always in Wolverhampton or Birmingham and so can pop down to the forbidden planet stores so I’ll ask him.

      Doesn’t look very posable because the arms are thick and it might not bend because of his jacket!!!!!!!! But I’m so glad there’s one out. :mrgreen: I wonder why it is not for pre order at forbidden planet. I thought it would be for pre order there first

      Adds to suspicion if u ask me?? Why is it not in FP, why is there no other figures?? I don’t like this, I think its a joke or fake just to annoy people. Or its a very early image and the company put it out before we were supposed to know?

    • Doctor Stu

      August 21st, 2012 - 1:10am

      But it looks like a real figure Im gonna preorder anyway I’m only gonna lose 11.99. It’s shocking how high the prices go up every year I remember when the series 2 figures only cost £7 and now there £12.
      It doesn’t really look like it’s going to be a good figure year because of the episodes because the daleks and weeping angels may or may not be released so all we have to look forward to really is a load of dinosaurs an eyguiptian woman and a re released ood with black cubes presumably. Looking forward to it whatever happens : mrgreen:

    • andrew

      August 21st, 2012 - 1:44am

      I wouldn’t wanna loose 11.99 that i can put towards the next classic set, whihc I hope is either Jo or POM set!

    • Doctor Stu

      It says due release for semptember so he might be released with the first wave of series 7 figures

    To be honest I think the face sculpt is actually quite good and would look better in hand. The only problem is the hair is a bit dark but again would probably look better in hand.

    There appears to be a lot of negativity over this figure. Whilst it might not be CO’s greatest figure (although I’ll decide that properly when I have it in hand), there ARE worse figures. Does nobody remember the straightjacket Doctor?? THAT was a bad figure. 🙂

    I really hope this is a joke as if this is the real thing after all the waiting and hoping and after how brilliantly they created Winston Churchill (Ian McNiece) as an action figure then I am truly not very disappointed as it looks nothing like Arthur Davrill as Rory.

      No, there’s been on set photos and trailers now, we know what he’s wearing in every episode.

      Chances are it is a poorly painted version of the outfit Arthur Darvill wore in the promo images for the 2011 series.

      Yeah probably, or maybe it’s the outfit he wore in Vampires of Venice but without the Amy and Rory heart on it, but highly unlikely.

      It’s not from any episodes of series 7. we have seen pics. If it is any costume, it’s probably a poorly painted version of the series 6 promo images
