Full details of Character Options’ Collect & Build Set 2 unveiled.

Following the sell-out success of Character Options’ debut Cybermen set in the 2026 Doctor Who Collect & Build series, the team is delighted to share with fans full details of the next to be released.

The ‘Vortex Edition’ Fifteenth Doctor Set featuring Mr Ring-a-Ding and Dugga Doo Figures will be available imminently, exclusively online via Character-Online.

This limited-edition Doctor Who Collect & Build “Vortex” set is the second of five launches this year. Each pack includes one or more ‘Vortex’ figures, plus a crucial part of the Collect & Build ‘Yeti’ figure. This second set will add the torso of the phenomenal Abominable Snowman figure that can be constructed once all five sets have been collected.

About the set

This six-piece set includes the Fifteenth Doctor, as seen in the 2025 episode Joy to the World, This is a rerelease of the original Gen 3 sculpted Vortex edition figure but with a revised hip component for better leg articulation. Thie decoration levels on this figure have been pushed to the limit to create what is possibly the finest iteration of this figure to date. The Trousers feature incredible high quality decoration to create that woven tweed effect. The shirt and jewellery details have been updated to the bright yellow version seen in the Episode, and the jacket wash wipe and face details are perfect. As expected, it comes complete with the appropriate colour Sonic Screwdriver accessory.

Joining The Doctor this time is Mr Ring-a-Ding or rather Lux, the God of Light, manifested this time in (bendy) action figure form. The bendy body with clear stand accessory allows for many hundreds of different poses and gestures. He comes with an alternative pop on, pop off ‘grumpy’ face head to add even more character.

Complete in the set fresh from representing the planet Grimbald in the 803rd Interstellar Song Contestant with the catchiest tune ever, is little Dugga Doo. With a poseable head and trumpet-like mouth, spikey space mullet and fluffy striped body it’s the perfect finishing touch.

About the episodes that inspired the set

In the recent Doctor Who adventure, Joy to the World (2025), the Fifteenth Doctor arrives at the Time Hotel, which combines both time travel and tourism in the 43rd century. This unique hotel is a prized destination as each room opens to a different place and era in the earth’s history.

Here, the Doctor meets Joy, who becomes caught up in events involving a friendly Silurian and a mystery briefcase containing an unlimited energy source (the seed star), created by the warmongering corporation Villengard. To stop the threat, the Doctor must jump multiple timelines and, while doing so, uncovers a side of Joy she was previously too scared to show.

Mr Ring-a-Ding was encountered in another Fifteenth Doctor episode, Lux (2025). Here, the Doctor and his companion Belinda travel to 1952 Miami and meet a cartoon brought to life called Lux – the God of Light. Lux uses the appearance of Mr Ring-a-Ding to escape the screen and kidnap the audience; the Doctor and Belinda overwhelm the God’s appetite for light, and he dissipates, fading beyond the universe.

Finally, Dugga Doo is a quirky character and star of the 2025 episode, The Interstellar Song Contest. Here, the Fifteenth Doctor encounters Dugga Doo, a contestant of the 803rd competition. Dugga Doo is the representative of the planet Grimbald and performs an incredibly catchy song from his flexible trumpet-like mouth.

About the Abominable Snowman figure

This pack also comes with the second key part of the ‘Collect & Build’ ‘Abominable Snowman’ (1967) figure: the Yeti’s upper chest. This can be assembled with the head from the first set, while each of the three subsequent sets will be issued with additional parts of the mighty ‘Yeti’ for fans to collect.

Al Dewar, Creative Director, Character Options, said: ‘Reaction to the Dark Water Cyberman set release has been fantastic, and we must thank the collectors for coming with us on this Collect & Build first step. At this point it’s hard to know whether the excitement we’ve seen is just about The Cybermen or Yeti’s or both … my moneys on the latter.

The Fifteenth Doctor set I have spoken about several times and arguably it’s the best of the best. Out of the three Fifteenth Doctors we have now done, the deco and styling of this one is peak, and that coupled with the improved articulation on the brand new (que the Elvis clips!) hip joints, well I don’t think its beatable.

This set also includes a ‘bendy’ … yessss! BENDY! …Mr Ring-a-Ding figure for the first time and it works so, so well. He has a pop on and off interchangeable head a wee clear base, and again just superb poseability. Lastly, we have yet another figure ‘and I can’t believe I’m saying this … but its Dugga Doo with his own poseable head and base. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever foresee that one coming!’

This Collect & Build set will be available to purchasers of Set One on August 3rd 2026* and then go on general release on August 4th and costs just £44.99 .
