Doctor Who Figurine Collection in August / September?
According to www.previewsworld.com/ the Doctor Who Figurine Collection will launch in the USA in September.
Members have been told a possible August release for the UK
Celebrate a half century of the BBC’s hit series Doctor Who with a brand new magazine and figurine series that covers 50 years of Doctor Who history, including every Doctor and all the greatest monsters from Daleks to Weeping Angels. Every figurine is 1:21 scale, with an average height of 85mm.
The magazine tells you all about your character and the history of Doctor Who. The first issue features the Eleventh Doctor from ‘The Pandorica Opens’ at the special introductory price of £2.99! Then continue your collection in issue #2 with Davros from ‘The Stolen Earth’, in issue #3 with the Cyber Controller from the ‘Rise Of The Cybermen’/’Age Of Steel’; and in issue #4 with the Weeping Angel (Angry) from ‘Time of Angels’/’Flesh & Stone’.
Published fortnightly.
The Official Figurine Collection Magazine
The official figurine collector’s magazine that explains how the character evolved. Plus get the inside story behind classic moments, explore 50 years of the series’ history, learn the secrets of the Doctor Who universe and discover the answers to some impossible questions.
This magazine was available in test areas before its national launch later in 2013.
The first few magazines appear unchanged from the test issues

booboo

76 Totters Lane
June 23rd, 2013 - 3:32pmOkay, thank you. Looks like it’ll cost £181.74 a year then for the magazine without the additional £1 per issue for the extra Daleks. Blimey! I think I need to start saving.
josh smith
June 23rd, 2013 - 1:07pmi just want the daleks

booboo
June 23rd, 2013 - 1:19pmyou can only get them buy subscribing and paying a £1 extra per issue – at least thats what was said in the test issues

dalek 105
June 23rd, 2013 - 10:32ambooboo how many issues are there going to be
booboo
June 23rd, 2013 - 10:34amat least 52 i would think, though if its popular it could run until they run out of monsters
Anonymous
June 23rd, 2013 - 10:59amAnd as more and more episodes are broadcast there will be a wider selection. Although it wouldn’t surprise me if it finishes with a lot of reasonably popular characters still unreleased.
josh smith
June 23rd, 2013 - 1:05pmi hope we get a ainly master
The Supreme Dalek
June 23rd, 2013 - 10:18amAre these good? Do they have any articulation? Every when will they come out?
booboo
June 23rd, 2013 - 10:20amthey are very good apart form the Doctor, they are figurine’s so static
we dont know exactly , USA have been told September, some people have been told August for UK
DoctorWho4eva
June 22nd, 2013 - 10:42pmAnybody know how much these are??
Anonymous
June 23rd, 2013 - 9:50am£6.99 for a figure and magazine, £7.99 if you take the premium subscription for the bonus Daleks.
goshiwott
June 23rd, 2013 - 1:17pmThe fist one is 2.99
dalek62
June 22nd, 2013 - 9:27pmanybody know how these compare in size to the new scale toys ?
booboo
June 22nd, 2013 - 11:09pmslightly smaller but Davros and the cyberman look fine side by side
dalek62
June 23rd, 2013 - 12:43pmthanks
Moid
June 22nd, 2013 - 8:46pmWhere are the subscription details? Was it only in the test-released copies themselves? I’d like to know about these additional dalek figures etc but can’t see anything about it on the preview site. Thanks.
booboo
June 22nd, 2013 - 8:48pmall information about them has been deleted in case the full release is different
basically it was for a £1 extra per issue you get a whole host of classic daleks
there is a facebook page here with some images https://www.facebook.com/pages/Doctor-Who-Figurine-Collection-Magazine/125947807583337?fref=ts
its not official and is nothing to do with us even though it seems to using a lot of our images
Moid
June 22nd, 2013 - 10:13pmThank you very much. I’ve become obsessed with checking this site for updates in recent weeks, mostly for news of when the 2nd wave of FX daleks, and further twin packs will be released (including this mysterious dalek with the 3rd doctor). However shall I fill my days when merchandise calms down again after the 50th.
Josh Previews World
June 22nd, 2013 - 6:51pmHi!
Just to let you all know, we cover launches in America, so it launches in September in American comic shops. The release date for the UK may well be in August, as Doctor Who is British, and you get most Doctor Who things before we do!
Much regards,
Joshua
Previews World Team
booboo
June 22nd, 2013 - 7:31pmThanks for that, fits in with what others have been told
KRYNOIDY
June 22nd, 2013 - 5:31pmI’ll wait until they release some Classic figurines
cjayp33
June 22nd, 2013 - 2:32pmWell this is contradictory as there is a rumor going around that this collection will launch in August (including one comment on here https://www.facebook.com/pages/Doctor-Who-Figurine-Collection-Magazine/125947807583337?fref=ts a fan page for the collection, who says customer services told them that and not September as this site suggests.
I have not emailed customer services as they are useless and ignore you as I emailed them a couple of weeks ago, and they only answered the question about where my replacements were(awaiting stock from
cjayp33
June 22nd, 2013 - 2:37pmpublisher) and ignored my questions on if subscribers will get issues 4/5 and if they knew if the test was successful and would launch nationally.
Although I did ask EM on there facebook last week “Just wondering if you had any update/news regarding the Doctor Who Figurine collection?as there is a new rumor going round the internet and I am dying to know if its true or not. I suspect you can’t/won’t confirm, but I thought I would ask anyway, as I am so excited for this collection, I take any rumor to be true.”
cjayp33
June 22nd, 2013 - 2:41pmthere reply: “Hi there Callum! We haven’t had any news yet. Keep an eye on the FB page for any updates Many thanks, EM”
Makes me wonder who is running that page, as I thought it was by somebody who works for Eaglemoss , but clearly not as they say we have not had any news yet, when surely they do, as they are the publishers of the collection. its the we havent that makes me reach this conclusion as surely it would have been better to say we have no news/updates yet, so I think customer services now runs the page?
booboo
June 22nd, 2013 - 2:46pmthis is the problem, preview world have September, someone has been told by eaglemoss August yet they say they have no news.
booboo
June 22nd, 2013 - 2:42pmAgain its just what we read else-ware and so many different stories – i know people who subscribed and never got anything
If this indeed launching in September why has this info turned up on a USA preview site. Surely they should tell their actually customers first.
I was told 10 weeks ago to expect issues 4-5 with 21 days as they were waiting for stock, they never arrived and since then i have sent 2 more emails and got no reply.
I really dont understand why they cant just tell people what’s going on – we are the customers after all and we just want the truth.
cjayp33
June 22nd, 2013 - 2:47pmI should point out that partworks are released in set periods (late december to march, end of august to end of sepetember) so its more then likely that it will launch in one of these months.
Yes it is annoying they don’t tell us customers what is going on, and when people email about issues its always we are out of stock/awaiting stock from the publishers. Personally I don’t think we will get our remaining issues if the collection is launching in 2 months as they are/will want to prepare for the national launch.
booboo
June 22nd, 2013 - 2:49pmif they want to get with the 50th hype they need to do it in September as things will be hotting up the for the best exposure
drjakeyoung
June 22nd, 2013 - 2:48pmI would make a complaint to them saying it’s appalling service you have been given and you are thinking of unsubscribing.
booboo
June 22nd, 2013 - 2:53pmyes but we want the stuff – I just dont think we should get the launch date from a USA previews site – if its true and that what they have decided to do subscribers should have got a letter explaining what’s happening.
As i have said before many people will have bought the magazines in newsagents and then subscribed without having any idea it was just a test.
drjakeyoung
June 22nd, 2013 - 2:57pmI would do what i said but threaten to leave. Just threaten so they know they will lose valuable customers.
Doctor Stu
June 22nd, 2013 - 10:39amBy birthday is in August so I’m going to ask for the money for the super subscription with the Dalek emperor and the Dalek models
the mr master
June 22nd, 2013 - 10:44amis there a 2005 emperor ?????
booboo
June 22nd, 2013 - 10:45amthe was on the test release but we will have to see if it still stands
the mr master
June 22nd, 2013 - 10:47amoh i really hope it does
Explosive Cookie
June 22nd, 2013 - 9:51amIm only going to get Davros, the cyber controller and a few classic daleks (Im sure they did something with classic daleks, please tell me if im wrong) to go with the 3.75″ figures, see what I mean in the 3.75″ pictures.
Mels
June 22nd, 2013 - 8:16amWow, those are really nice! I particularly like the Silurian.
Javert
June 21st, 2013 - 11:27pmin my opinion there are now far too many Doctor Who collections out there… Card games, action figures, DVD+Magazine collections etc… too many! I’ve stopped collecting Doctor Who stuff now because it’s becoming too much, costing too much money, becoming a big of a boring hobby… Nowadays I’d much rather sit down and build an airfix model…
eddy
June 21st, 2013 - 11:31pmsame here in some aspects mate lol, having a big collection myself, i have enjoyed every second, but it was costly, never the less a lot of it was worth it, but now days i have completely slowed down, only something every few weeks, and i certainly not getting any 3.75 inch figures – really dont like them – but i do love airfix models lol and i do have the doctor version 🙂
Blake
June 22nd, 2013 - 12:16ami agree, i personally think there should only be the dvd range, about half a dozen books a year, big finish doing all of the audios including new adventures with 11 and so on and thats about it
Alex The Geek
June 22nd, 2013 - 6:44amBut you don’t have to buy everything. As Doctor Who gets a bigger and bigger fanbase (both in UK and the rest of the world) more and more people will want to buy things. Everybody is different and everybody will want different things. For example an eight year old kid isn’t going to want a big chunky hard back book about the making of Doctor Who.
Javert
June 22nd, 2013 - 11:25amthat’s not the point though.. the point is there’s way too much Doctor Who merch on the shelves, and half of it isn’t being sold and retailers are starting to hate Doctor Who merchandise… I mean take the Talking Daleks wave, only FP is getting the second batch because other retailers said no…
booboo
June 22nd, 2013 - 11:56amyou want to come to Cheltenham, you will be hard pushed to find Doctor Who merchandise on any shelves
KORSAIR
June 22nd, 2013 - 12:03pmIt’s the same here Booboo the proverbial cupboards are bare.
Javert
June 22nd, 2013 - 12:59pmperhaps there are more Doctor Who fans in England than in Scotland then! xD
booboo
June 22nd, 2013 - 1:06pmi have always found some of the distribution quite strange, our Tesco’s never has any Doctor Who stuff at all apart from a token figure or two and a sonic screwdriver, they never had any of the 3 figure sets they had as exclusives.
we have one toy shop now that had 3 new 3.75″ figures and no sets, that’s all
There may be tons of merchandise but you can’t buy it if you live here
drjakeyoung
June 22nd, 2013 - 2:55pmsame here booboo. Only toy shop we do have is in the town center and they want £10 for one 3.75″ figure! THAT’S RIDICULOUS!
That is the only place in Banbury that sells Dr who figures, not even Tesco – Sainsbury’s – Morrison’s sell anything Dr who related. And the only DVD SHOP IS HMV, and we all know they are extremely over priced.
booboo
June 22nd, 2013 - 3:06pmnot just toys though
I really like a lot of the Zeon stuff, the mugs tea pots etc and cant wait to see the Toby type mugs but as far as i know there inst one place in Cheltenham you can buy any of it
Big D
June 24th, 2013 - 10:48amYep, Ive largely stopped collecting apart from the Classic Series stuff – and thats darned expensive as its mainly via F.P so even there I have to be very selective.
Im afraid I wont be buying any of the 3.75 figures aswell.
Dont think I’ll be getting this collection apart from the first issue (to go along with all the other first issues I havent looked at).
Anyway, when are we going to get a collection similar to the 11 Doctor Tardis set featuring Classic series assistants?
timelord22
June 21st, 2013 - 11:22pmCan’t wait to get the rest of these. I love the first 5!
The Master
June 21st, 2013 - 10:17pmhope this comes out in Australia
Sebatron
June 22nd, 2013 - 3:52amSame!
CyberGuy500
June 21st, 2013 - 9:25pmI will proabaly buy the first and then decide whether to collect it.
Anonymous
June 21st, 2013 - 8:55pmCan’t be too sure about September, the website says the first four issues are all coming out then (which isn’t possible for a fortnightly magazine).
Dalek The Supreme
June 21st, 2013 - 8:12pmThey all look great, but I won’t be able to get them, I don’t get a lot of money anyway and I’ll be busy getting the Character Options/Underground Toys Doctor Who figures.
booboo
June 21st, 2013 - 8:19pmmight be Worth picking up some, you are likely to see figures that might never be released by UT and they are very close to the 3.75″ figures
CGren123
June 21st, 2013 - 8:07pmWill the Dalek Emperor figurine still be available? If so, I’ll subscribe for exactly as long as it takes to get that, and then cherry pick from the rest of them.
booboo
June 21st, 2013 - 8:09pmno idea, we will have to wait for the full info to see if everything is the same
the mr master
June 21st, 2013 - 8:33pmhow long will that be
DOCTOR WHO ONE
June 21st, 2013 - 7:43pmAbout time. I was starting to wonder when on earth this was gonna be made available to whole of the UK.
I’ll only be getting one’s that really interest me, such as the issue about Davros with the New Series style version of his as a figurine.
KORSAIR
June 21st, 2013 - 7:41pmLord above but that Matt Smith one is terrible.
booboo
June 21st, 2013 - 7:43pmyes he is, i hoped for some improvement before the national launch – i cant fault the monsters though, they are really good and this could turn into a great collection – i just wish their communication with their customers was a little better
trenzalore
June 21st, 2013 - 7:44pmi can imagein him in chavvy clothes 😆
StarkBoy
June 21st, 2013 - 7:37pmYes ! Can’t wait to collect these ! I really want Davros especially
DavidH
June 21st, 2013 - 7:35pmI’ll definitely get the first issue, as I always do with magazine collections I’m interested in. I’ll decide then whether to keep it up or not
trenzalore
June 21st, 2013 - 7:35pmso getting these, could be worth money in later years. When it is due out can you just ask your local shop to get them?
booboo
June 21st, 2013 - 7:38pmi dont know but as a subscriber who has heard nothing from them (like many others) and they have not answered one email enquiry i find it utterly ridiculous we have to learn of its launch from an American preview site
trenzalore
June 21st, 2013 - 7:41pmi agree that is ridiculous, if they want us to buy their product then they could look like they appreciate us. Maybe we will get better service nearer september
Radburn
June 21st, 2013 - 8:12pmNo, the Company used by Eaglemoss to distribute the magazines is useless. I have had 3 seperate Subscriptions from them & they have always caused problems. If I did not have to subscibe to get the Subscriber Only Products – I would not bother with a Subscription…
Bow Tie Wearing Stranger
June 28th, 2013 - 10:47amAgreed.
Took out a subscription, received confirmation then nothing more was heard.
Then, unexpectedly (after issue 5 had hit the shops) received issues 2&3 – but they were damaged!.
Sent in a query about getting them replaced and when would issues 4&5 be sent.
Received a reply saying ‘still waiting on stock’ & no more issues 2&3 available.
To be fair though, payment wasn’t taken for the damaged issues.
I only hope they change the packaging used when the series is launched. The thin plastic+address label they use offers no protection.
Bow Tie Wearing Stranger
June 28th, 2013 - 10:55amPS If anyone subscribed to the Monster Invasion magazine & card series, I’d double check to make sure payment are not still being taken – I’ve had one taken fom my account in the last fortnight.
Doctor Who Crazy Ross
June 21st, 2013 - 7:31pmThis looks amazing, I can’t wait 🙂
