May 16th, 2011 - 9:28pmJust to say Booboo, you mention you can buy the figures from Character Online but are not yet available on the website, hopefully they will ahve them on the website sometime this week, and can anyone tell me if they CyberCentry Offer is still running on the CO website as I may order all the figures and get the Cyberman free but need to know before i order.
Thank you in advance
someone
May 16th, 2011 - 9:30pmThe cyber sentry offer is still running.
booboo
May 16th, 2011 - 9:51pmCharacter tend to put them on the site just before delivery or when they are actually in stock. they have in most cases (but not all) had them for sale at the release date.

May 17th, 2011 - 6:31amAwsome so if I buy all of them i will get a bonus figire that would be great but i dread to thing what P&P would be
Innes
May 16th, 2011 - 9:25pmLooking forward to these, hopefully there will be more down the line, but nopefully not much variants this time round as we had too many last year, I will be getting a few Silents, a couple of each(if i can and allowed) and will get one of all the others, I can’t wait for the next wave to come out which will probably be a few weeks after the Summer break which I look forward too.

May 16th, 2011 - 9:20pmBooboo are the titles for series 6 pt2 released yet if not when will they 😕
Anonymous
May 16th, 2011 - 10:07pmOnly 2.11 so far The God Complex, 2.9 has the working title of What are Little Boys Made Of? but is incredibly likely to change.
Ryan
May 16th, 2011 - 9:17pmWell no Rory or River, but the only MAJOR new figure is the Silence, and even they are both variants, and with the Time Monster set, I’m starting to get the impression Character are losing intrest in 5 Inch (NOOO!) Figures, Character Building and all. Still a Small but Superb wave, no quarrels from me!
Cyberdevil
May 16th, 2011 - 9:01pmThis is very annoying No Rory or River. Instead we get another Doctor Varient which only appeared for 30 seconds on TV. Two silince with diffrent facial expressions (pointless al we need is one)A cheap Green repainted ood (glow in the dark should cover that). Amelia is the only one i have high praise for and closed mouth Silince
Charecter Options will still haven’t seen:
Rory, River,Amy(Imposible Astronaught),Astronaught,Delaware,The Siren Girl,Idris let alone the next few episodes.

May 16th, 2011 - 9:03pmThey aren’t allowed to release figures from future episodes by the BBC because of spoilers, and The Curse of the Black Spot was only filmed in February and it takes at least six months to produce a figure from scratch. With costumes prepared in January the earliest we could get a figure in July.
booboo
May 16th, 2011 - 9:10pmI wondered if figures were produced in filming rather than episode order , it all makes sense really
someone
May 16th, 2011 - 9:22pmNo in fact we are schedueled for a Captain Avery so anonymous is wrong I am surprised that it didn’t turn up in this initial wave also where is “sexy” she is due…
Anonymous
May 16th, 2011 - 9:58pmAvery is a real life historical character which they are not allowed to make them without paying a massive fee towards descendants or a corresponding estate of some form. Doubt one exists for Avery but there will be some kind of loophole which will get them out of making a good figure.
Anonymous
May 16th, 2011 - 10:16pmThey cannot physically fully produce and release Avery until about July (give six months production from scratch and January costume preperations) at the earliest so I think you must be wrong “someone”.
King Ninja
May 16th, 2011 - 11:15pm17th century historical character’s are not copyrighted. And Avery was a ruthless pirate so i doubt his family claims money for any kind of estate. If they could, they would have kicked up a fuss about his fictional use in the episode and of all the useage of ‘his’ image in magazines etc…So while you are smart to think of such possibilities, I still have high hopes of a figure being released…
Anonymous
May 17th, 2011 - 9:43amIf they labeled it “Pirate Captain” they could get away with it. Different rules apply between television shows and figures as nobody is making profits off of a television show directly. While his family if there are indeed any would not have an estate they will still be taxed by the government for using “human likeness” and so they could similarly tax for not going to the correct authority (even though there isn’t one).

May 16th, 2011 - 8:56pmwhich forbidden planet is it best to order from booboo? because i tried international and it never came 🙁 (i mean some series 5 figures i tried to order that never arrived)
booboo
May 16th, 2011 - 9:08pmThey are both generally ok to be honest, they tend to run out of their initial order quickly so you have to wait for the next delivery which can be weeks, or even months sometimes, order immediately and you should be ok or wait for Character to put them up – they are very good also.
davros
May 17th, 2011 - 8:25pmthank you booboo 🙂
Anonymous
May 16th, 2011 - 8:54pmI think we all know why there’s only five, the RRP is now going to be £50 for the whole wave.
cyberleader4
May 16th, 2011 - 8:54pmmy dad said that rory is a wave 2 figure
doctor 2011
May 16th, 2011 - 9:18pmthanks for this info and thank your dad 🙂
Jordan
May 16th, 2011 - 9:23pmHow does he know that ???
Joe
May 16th, 2011 - 10:59pmoh dont tell me “your dad works at character” this is not confirmed and can be taken with a pinch of salt for now
Mumble5557
May 16th, 2011 - 8:53pmThe two figures i want the most is Anelia (night dress) and The Eleventh Doctor (Steston) I’m not really bothered about the Silence’s but I might get Nephew. Not sure yet.
Jordan
May 16th, 2011 - 8:49pmWhat do you have to type in on fp to buy them
D0ct0r11
May 16th, 2011 - 10:03pmJust go to the Doctor Who section of Forbidden Planet: http://forbiddenplanet.com/?tag=doctor-who&show=preorders&show=available&size=12&sort=addition-date-desc
wetty
May 16th, 2011 - 8:45pmwhy do u like silence with mouth shut i like silence with mouth open
Come along Pond
May 16th, 2011 - 11:29pmI like both of them, and I for one saw this coming
Doctor with Stetson
Green Eyed Ood (Nephew)
and two Silent Variants
Amelia Pond, however, was on my series five wish list from last year and now we’ve got two – fantastic 😀
ben
May 16th, 2011 - 8:31pmthe scilence looks to big:$..
BOOBOO JR
May 16th, 2011 - 8:38pmYeah, I think that Character have made it just a little to big, they look like giants compared to Amelia. By the way, are these the only ones in Wave 1, or is this just a small selection of whats to come?
booboo
May 16th, 2011 - 8:40pmThis is all of wave one but i’m sure there will be more, its actually a very small wave
Callum Metcalfe
May 16th, 2011 - 8:43pmWHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! THAT IS NOT FAIR. WHAT ABOUT A RIVER, IDRIS AND RORY!!!!
booboo
May 16th, 2011 - 8:44pmI’m sure we will get them in time, lets face it, The Junk Tardis playset wouldn’t be any good without and Idris
someone
May 16th, 2011 - 9:24pmThe Silence are the correct scale in hand remember the actors are 6 foot 8 inches matt smith is only around 6 foot slightly more perhaps…
Anonymous
May 16th, 2011 - 10:08pmMatt Smith is 5′ 10”.
wetty
May 16th, 2011 - 8:29pmood looks cool he is called nephew
hugh
May 19th, 2011 - 7:16pmI cant belive it when I was watching dr who the doctors wife I thought he was called mathew
wetty
May 16th, 2011 - 8:21pmare they goin to make rory because he needs a figour
booboo
May 16th, 2011 - 8:47pmI hope they do, we want one to
Come along Pond
May 16th, 2011 - 11:36pmRelax, Rory is definitely on the cards as well as River, Canton, Astronaut, Idris and I’m sure there will be a Captain Avery (Well here’s hoping anyway – watch this space)
I know for definite there will be a Lady Kovarian figure released this year, which will be surreal cause my Aunt plays her in the TV series 😀
TardisCreation
May 16th, 2011 - 8:15pmThese are rubbish.
doctorwhoforever
May 16th, 2011 - 8:17pmPersonally I think they are brilliant. Best action figures ever!
booboo
May 16th, 2011 - 8:25pmIn what way do they look rubbish?
Come along Pond
May 16th, 2011 - 11:50pmRubbish? These figures are a fantastic start to the Series 6 line up; we may even see more figures of characters from series 5 added to this wave, which would be fantastic also – Father Octavian, River Song variants from 5.4/5.5, 5.12/5.13 and 6.1/6.2, Liz 10, Malohkeh and Eldane, Rosanna, Saturnyne as well as The Rebel Flesh and Gangers; be patient and I’m sure CO will deliver 😀
Jason doctorwhoone
May 16th, 2011 - 8:10pmyounger Amy isint even in Series 6 far as i know, so why she in the Series 6 range when she’s a Series 5 character ?. Character made that same error with the Time Lord figure, put him the Series 4 range when he only appeared in Series 3.
Anonymous
May 16th, 2011 - 8:30pmThe figure will have “Series 5” on the packaging, which is annoying for those of us who use the correct numbering system.
booboo
May 16th, 2011 - 8:31pmIt does seem a little odd they have released this in a series 6 wave
Anonymous
May 16th, 2011 - 8:35pmI don’t think it is wave 1 of this series, it’s just the first wave of the year, like they used to do mixed waves from the RTD era.
booboo
May 16th, 2011 - 8:39pmThat would be an interesting way of doing it, there were so many good series 5 figures we didn’t get
doctor 2011
May 16th, 2011 - 8:42pmthey could of made loads of other figures than amillia
whofan
May 17th, 2011 - 9:47ami think that the young amelia might be the mysterious girl inside the astronaut suit(she is wearing the same clothes) and they have made a mistake with the name
booboo
May 17th, 2011 - 9:52amI’ve had a look, they are different, this must be Amelia form the 11th hour, the Doctor Who experience looks a much better likeness so maybe this is an early sample
rabid frog
May 16th, 2011 - 8:10pmwant to get two silence figures but if i ordered them i would forget i ordered them
Whats a Silence 😕
Dalekdragon
May 16th, 2011 - 10:07pmI can’t remember :/
MadmanWithABox
May 16th, 2011 - 8:08pmbooboo how do you have the actual figures?
because i mean for the promotional pics they never release multiple pics of each figure and also u can never see the joints…. so im coming to the conclusion that u have the figures am i right.
dan23
May 16th, 2011 - 9:09pmGood point do you booboo? btw i love all of these!
booboo
May 16th, 2011 - 9:13pmno ( i wish) all these promo images were sent to us direct from Character, a lot of sites only put one up.These all look like final figures and would have been produced weeks ago i suspect
dan23
May 16th, 2011 - 9:23pmoh right i see thanks booboo, i think nephew ought to of have had ood sigmas head as it is better.
MadmanWithABox
May 17th, 2011 - 7:50amoh s othat means they’ll be out pretty soon right?
DOCTORWHOSBIGGESTFAN
May 16th, 2011 - 8:08pmOMG! I am so getting these!
roloboy97
May 16th, 2011 - 8:06pmno rory and river song?
Time and Relative Dimensions in Space – TARDIS!!!
May 16th, 2011 - 8:03pmWHERE IS RORY!!! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! HE’S ONE OF MY FAVE CHARACTERS!!!
Im gonna change my Name to Rory Pond coz he is just that awesome lol
doctorwhoforever
May 17th, 2011 - 9:15pmYes. We have been waiting for a Rory figure for ages. Maybe they are keeping us in suspence for a really good figure. Or maybe they should just give us a Rory!
booboo
May 17th, 2011 - 9:18pmyes we need a Rory
who crazy!
May 16th, 2011 - 7:55pmIsn’t it a bit early for series 6 figures already?
booboo
May 16th, 2011 - 7:57pmNot really we only have 2 more stories to go before the long break
rabid frog
May 16th, 2011 - 8:02pmdon’t you mean 3 episodes booboo
the flesh rebbles
the almost people
a good man goes to war
Jason doctorwhoone
May 16th, 2011 - 8:08pmRabid Frog – Booboo is right, it is still 2 more stories before the break –
The Rebel Flesh [ 1 / 2 ]
The almost people [ 2 / 2 ]
A good man goes to war
Come along Pond
May 17th, 2011 - 12:02amTechnically, I think it’s 1 story (The Rebel Flesh/The Almost People) and the beginning of another (A Good Man Goes To War… a long wait and then Episode 8, which will be the concluding part of Episode 7) Look out for Eyepatch Lady/Lady Kovarian in these two episodes…
nicholas
May 16th, 2011 - 7:51pmGetting, them all, Have to save my pocket money
hugh
May 19th, 2011 - 7:20pmWhy, just save up for a rory figure
the doctor and bradley
May 16th, 2011 - 7:50pmwhen will they be in argos
Silence Will Fall
May 16th, 2011 - 7:51pmRound about summer (that is when the new catalogue comes out)
the doctor and bradley
May 16th, 2011 - 7:56pmbut it is summer
Silence Will Fall
May 16th, 2011 - 7:48pmYes silent with closed mouth is winning (i was the first voter for it)!!!
H.K
May 16th, 2011 - 7:46pmI AM GONNA ASK A QUESTION, WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE FIGURE FROM THE WAVE?? MINE IS THE CLOSED MOUTH SILENT
nimibubs
May 16th, 2011 - 8:56pmMine is both of the silents
The Spaceman
May 16th, 2011 - 7:44pmI’ve just pre ordered the silent with it’s mouth closed!
🙂 🙂
Doctor stu
May 16th, 2011 - 8:26pmwhen does it say it should be arriving?
booboo
May 16th, 2011 - 8:30pm16th June or there abouts
H.K
May 16th, 2011 - 7:41pmISN’T NEPHEW THE SERIES 2 OOD JUST WITH GRREN EYES AND A ORB???
Callum Metcalfe
May 16th, 2011 - 7:53pmYep. Plus, he shouldn’t have gloves!
H.K
May 16th, 2011 - 8:47pmi think they should have made a totally new figure for nephew
McGann is The Doctor.
May 16th, 2011 - 7:39pmIm at odds and ends with the Doctor+Stettson figure, Im GLAD that they’ve not given him the Tigerskin-Jacket from that Christmas adventure set but its still a loss that its the same one from Series 5, which was, to be fair, a different Tweed Jacket. The REAL one worn in the Series in 2011 was Freakin Amazing !! ❗
And the hat-hair of the figure looks (IN these Prototype Pictures anyway) slightly off. But I can’t really judge the authenticity of the Figure until it comes out, summer holidays.
SpiderDalek94
May 16th, 2011 - 8:12pmYour Right, The Hair / Hat is slightly off because in the show a part of his fringe hanged down to the side of his head, by his ear. though in fairness to try to recreate that look on the figure would be impossible. though on a good note there getting MUCH better at making matts face. It looks exactly like him. Im going to get this along with amelia and the closed mouth silent or whatever silent pops up in argos or other stores in town
Doctor stu
May 16th, 2011 - 8:27pmill probs get more closed mouth silents than open mouthed ones
