Doctor Who Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Vortex 5.5” Action Figures
Character Options Confirms Rollout of the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday Action Figures.
Non exclusive variants are available to order from www.forbiddenplanet.com
You can try searching for individual Vortex figures if required on www.ebay.co.uk
Character and the BBC Studios are proud to announce to fans and collectors that that the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday action figures will join the ranks of their other incarnations, companions and foes on shelves everywhere soon. The announcement comes along with images of these latest ‘Vortex Edition’ characters.
Kathryn Ludlam, Character Options, brand manager, commented: “Since their first appearance at London Toy Fair, we have been inundated with requests about the release of the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday figures. We are delighted to confirm that the figures will be available in two formats; an exclusive bundle pack from Character-Online and as individual packs with alternative decoration at mass retail, both launching later in the year.”
Vortex Edition 5.5” Collector figures bundle pack – available at Character-Online
These Gen 3 figures feature a higher specification decoration for extra detail and features include internal pivots on the neck and ankles, ball jointed waist and shoulders as well as internal pins on the arms and legs.
In this exclusive online version of these figures, there is the Fifteenth Doctor as played, by Ncuti Gatwa in his tan coat with orange striped shirt blue trousers and red and black trainers. The Doctor’s accessories include the blue Sonic Screwdriver, landmine from the episode, ‘Boom’ and ubiquitous Psychic Paper. Meanwhile the Ruby Sunday figure, as played by Millie Gibson, is presented as she looked in her debut story dressed in red jumper, tartan skorts as well as her black bomber jacket, and comes with her mobile phone, and shoulder bag accessories.
This online exclusive set features specially designed packaging to allow the figures to be opened and played with or repacked for display. Each figure is individually boxed, and then beautifully sleeved together as a single purchase. A sturdy transit box is used to protect this unique set.
Mass Retail Single Packs
A mass retail version will be available shortly afterwards in fused blister carded packs; with the Fifteenth Doctor’s shirt in teal, ocean green trousers and tan shoes whilst Ruby Sunday is dressed in a denim jacket, blue skorts and cream jumper.
The online exclusive set will go on sale on www.character-online.co.uk on 17th October 2024 and costs £39.99

booboo
October 21st, 2024 - 11:40amsaw that, never happened before i dont think with an exclusive
booboo
October 21st, 2024 - 4:43pmits been suggested this is wrong and its the general release figures but then who sent Ikon the info and wrong images and more to point why hasn’t it been corrected if so.
Many Australian sites have them up for pre-order as pictured so someone needs to get it sorted if its wrong
Ian
October 21st, 2024 - 11:08amAny idea when they will be dispatched? Unusual to be this slow.
booboo
October 21st, 2024 - 11:33amthey dont work weekends so from today i would imagine, perhaps one their influencers would have a better idea.
Ian

Tom Williams
October 21st, 2024 - 12:34pmApparently today as I contacted a person called Tracey who dealt with my refund and confirmed it but had no dispatch email as off yet
The Fishmonger
October 20th, 2024 - 11:32amI usually get a confirmation email from CO about a week after the item has been delivered. I’m fairly sure the order went through, but I won’t know for sure until it’s delivered.
masterdoctorten
October 20th, 2024 - 1:08pmI ordered at 10:00 on Thursday, and got my email at 08:30 this morning.
Weird.

October 20th, 2024 - 1:19pmIf you are registered, you can go into your order history and find out the status of your order there.
The Fishmonger
October 24th, 2024 - 9:15pmHi Jay, I tried that but the drop down menu wouldn’t drop down lol.
Arrive today anyway, hurrah
Junior
October 20th, 2024 - 8:57amThis is complicated !
I tried a first time to purchase it, but couldn’t pay because of a PayPal matter.
Then I had an email for the order cancellation with an order number.
I resolved the PayPal matter and buy the figures two hours later. A message from the website told me it was successfully ordered, with the same order number as previously.
I then had a PayPal email for the transaction, but no character email (I checked the spam)
And on my account, it says that the order is cancelled.
I’m a little confuse, because the transaction has been made on my account and no email has been send since.
BeepTheMeep
October 18th, 2024 - 9:41pmAny ideas when they’ll be arriving? Managed to order yesterday and just can’t wait!
Tom Williams
October 19th, 2024 - 11:32amThe woman I got in contact with called Tracey who had too refund back for multi orders apparently said they will be sent this Monday
Snowman
October 17th, 2024 - 6:14pmHas anyone seen the Single Figures pop up in B&M (or anywhere for that Matter)?
Jamie
October 17th, 2024 - 7:35pmI don’t think we know when or where to expect those yet.
Tom Williams
October 17th, 2024 - 9:19pmThey are on galaxy 4 up for preorder I brought them before I realised which ones they where
Snowman
October 18th, 2024 - 12:11amThanks Tom, I’ve just checked the site and there isn’t any Photos, but at least we have an Estimated Release Date.
Snowman
October 18th, 2024 - 12:13am(I Used to Love There Shop). I’m sure it’s the Same Company that had a Physical Shop in Sheffield.
John
October 18th, 2024 - 7:52amI think its a regeneration of the shop and agree I spent too much money there over the years! Ben and Andy were great guys and they used to do the afternoon with…..events too.
Snowman
October 18th, 2024 - 10:31amI never knew about there Signing Days at the Time, I Just used to go for the Shop which was always Full of Dr Who Goodies. I remember picking up the CO Four pack From there with Astrid and the Two Heavenly Host, I was Delighted at the time as I think that’s the First place I’d seen that set in the shops. ( The same with alot of there Stuff really).
The Ergon
October 18th, 2024 - 10:53amI remember buying so many big finish audio cds from there. Those 2 guys were great and very helpful and i used to chat with them especially ben about the guests at those signings and what they were like and got a good insight. Even though i missed some good ones,which i regret including Bonnie langford and Mary Tamm.
David
October 18th, 2024 - 11:02amThey will be in shops a few weeks after these ones are released
Tom Williams
October 18th, 2024 - 1:24pmThey are due with galaxy store on 26th and don’t think there is any confirmation for anywhere else yet
booboo
October 18th, 2024 - 1:34pmprobably not supposed to be there.
Tom’s cabbage
October 17th, 2024 - 3:49pmI ordered mine no problem. Easiest transaction I have had with CO, Confirmation straight away, not like when I ordered jo martin doctor, that was a nightmare.
Tom
October 17th, 2024 - 12:47pmI ordered and found an email saying it had been cancelled at 9.52am, but then confirmation of order at 10.02am, so not sure what to think to be honest.
MJS
October 17th, 2024 - 12:51pmIf you created an account with CO, go I to it and see what it says
Tom Williams
October 17th, 2024 - 6:10pmAnother Tom with the same problem lol but I had no confirmation atall it was only cancelled and that’s it so dk what’s happened and worse can’t check my account
Tom Williams
October 17th, 2024 - 7:08pmInstead just had to resubmit from another bank account and it went straight through which ment the first time it didn’t go through properly as it’s still pending
Philip Shaw
October 18th, 2024 - 8:07amMy confirmation went to my junk folder…
Jackie
October 17th, 2024 - 11:20amAnything left in Southampton, Reading or even Basingstoke at a push? Looking for the 2 sets still. Thanks anyone for any help.
Matt Y
October 17th, 2024 - 12:07pmReading is a no. All the Davros sets got swiped from Oxford Road. Calcot had Resurrection sets in but were gone by the time I got there at 8am. Just checked the other two Reading stores and nothing.
Joe
October 17th, 2024 - 11:06amhad to order for a friend as they’re out of country and the site is blocked for them, went through smoothly. Seems character have finally fixed majority of the issues with ordering
Neutrobyte
October 17th, 2024 - 10:57amBagged mine and got confirmation email at 10:26am. No issues ordering; just like with the Ruins Of Skaro release.
Peter C
October 17th, 2024 - 10:28amDon’t think last message got through. Ordered mine around 10 and seemed to go through, but no confirmation email yet. Is anyone else finding the same? Is there an email to contact them to chase up do you know?
The Werewolf
October 17th, 2024 - 10:39amSame
MJS
October 17th, 2024 - 11:03amCheck your junk folder
David
October 17th, 2024 - 11:11amI ordered mine okay. Money came out of my account, but got no confirmation email. Checked my spam folder. Nothing.
Jamie
October 17th, 2024 - 1:12pmI ordered mine just before 10 and I did receive a confirmation email.
Euan
October 17th, 2024 - 10:22amAnyone else ordered but not got a confirmation email?
daz
October 17th, 2024 - 10:31amMy confirmation went to my junk folder.
The Werewolf
October 17th, 2024 - 10:37amStill not got confirmation email, and it’s definitely not in my spam. Only have PayPal email. Can’t see orders on Character website either yet, so I will expect the worst.
Pipkin
October 17th, 2024 - 10:41amIf you have paypal confirmation that should be enough. Mine did say confirmed with order number when payment went through but nothing from character gifts.
Radburn
October 18th, 2024 - 4:54amSeems to be a common problem this time around with no confirmation email. First time I have ever not received confirmation of an order.
Troughton’s Trousers
October 17th, 2024 - 10:12amOrdered mine too! The easiest experience I’ve ever had with CO’s website, which was a welcome change.
Whovian
October 17th, 2024 - 10:10amGot mine ordered at 10:02am.
Site felt a slightly bit laggy, but I’ve ordered and got the confirmation email
Snowman

toptimelord
October 17th, 2024 - 10:08amMy Doctor and Ruby figures are ordered! Give me the loving! They went on sale ten minutes early which was a surprise. Can’t wait for them to arrive. Even though they’re getting put away for Crimbo…
