Doctor Who Fugitive Doctor and Tardis Collector Figure Set

Online Exclusive announced by Character Options

Character Options is excited and delighted to announce that, for the first time, the Fugitive will join her esteemed other incarnations with her own figure set in this latest Online exclusive Doctor Who Figure set.

Inspired by the Doctor Who episode entitled “Fugitive Of The Judoon”, Character Options is proud to present this figure of the mysterious Fugitive Doctor along with her very own TARDIS! Both are presented in this specially designed 60th Anniversary window packaging, which has been designed to wow even before it’s opened.

Set Contents at 5.5 Inch Scale:

  • 1 x Fugitive Doctor Figure.
  • 1 x Division Blaster Accessory
  • 1 x TARDIS with opening doors

This incarnation of the Doctor is shrouded in mystery. The Thirteenth Doctor first met the Fugitive Doctor (played by Jo Martin) when she was hiding out as ‘Ruth Clayton’, a tour guide living in Gloucester. Using a Chameleon Arch, she’d re-written her DNA to appear human and buried her TARDIS below ground where it could never be found. She was hiding from her former employer, a mysterious Time Lord agency called ‘The Division’, who had hired the Judoon to track her down. With the arrival of the Judoon and Thirteenth Doctor, the Fugitive Doctor’s secret couldn’t be kept for much longer.

Ruth flees with the Thirteenth Doctor to a lighthouse she remembered as a child, but what they discover there only deepens the mystery. Sensing something familiar, the Thirteenth Doctor discovers her own TARDIS from the long past, and when Ruth breaks the fire alarm within the lighthouse it triggers a reversal of the Chameleon Arch. Instantly the Doctor once more, she teleports herself and the Thirteenth Doctor into her TARDIS and takes off to confront the ‘Division’. The Thirteenth Doctor is hugely disturbed by the fact she cannot remember being this incarnation but recognises the truth that she undeniably had been. Now free, this no longer fugitive Doctor leaves for further adventures and would go on to meet her Thirteenth self a handful of times, as a projection of the Matrix, and then again as a holograph.

The full story of the Fugitive Doctor remains undisclosed and only time will reveal the full truth… as it always does.

Al Dewar, Creative Director, commented:

“Well, it’s finally out there! And safe to say this is one of the most special Doctors I’ve ever worked on. It’s been under wraps for well over a year and a half which helped keep the secret. Jo Martin, who was utterly delightful to work with when creating this set and we also give her rather lovely TARDIS a wee overhaul as well, with the original flat roof being replaced by a slightly angled one, with replacement lamp and nice little undercuts between the roof pillars. There is also one neat little easter egg in the pack we hope collectors enjoy. All in all, this is a truly great set.”

The online exclusive costs £39.99 and will include postage to UK addresses.

    Sorry but WTF is with that price?? The TARDIS isn’t even electronic. Even if it was, £40 is still ridiculous.
    I usually jump at the online exclusives but sorry, I’ll have to miss out on this one.
    I think it would’ve also been better as a single figure release rather than with a TARDIS.

      Totally agree – severely overpriced as not electronic. I wont be jamming up the website as not interested in anything post-Capaldi anyway.

      It is sadly massively overpriced. I believe the production run is far lower showing how little CO think these things will sell and also how little DW merchandise sells.

      Where have you all been for the last few years? Everything costs more to make and ship now. Everything has gone up in price. You can’t expect to pay the same as we did five years ago.

    They are bound to rerelease this Tardis in a B&M set with a Twice Upon A Time First Doctor figure given the BBC reused the same prop unaltered for Fugitive.

      I hear you, but all the time some people are successfully placing orders and others aren’t, there is going to be a certain amount of panic involved and therefore wanting to call Character to find out what’s going on.

    I can get as far as payment but then doesn’t let me. It did before, got as far as PayPal and temporarily charged me but no money taken. Now it won’t do anything

      Keep trying – you’re nearly there! I got that far, PayPal confirmed and did the temporary payment then I just continued to click “confirm” at the very bottom after all the order details until it eventually went through.

      PayPal has only charged me once. I actually got the confirmation it had gone through on my PayPal app slightly quicker than on the website.

      Same, Shaun – so frustrating. I’m hoping that because I have one in my basket, it will stay there and I can eventually checkout later. CO really need to upgrade their systems because this is pathetic.

    It took me 50 minutes of repeatedly trying, with various error messages throughout, but eventually I got through and successfully completed my order.
    Character really need to fix the capacity of their site.

    Wow, well that was unexpected. Hope they do enough of these, I don’t get paid for a couple of days hehheh. I don’t mind missing out on this one, but the figures/TARDIS sets usually last at least a couple of weeks or so iirc so should be alright. Either way, an interesting surprise. I was like 80% sure it was going to be the new sonic.

      Well this cheered me up on a murky Monday. Fabulous and another Toy reveal Tomorrow 10 am apparently,as this isn’t the one we were expecting.

      I wonder what the ” There is also one easter egg in the pack for collectors to discover and enjoy.” Means.

      The whole roof lid comes off so you can Bury it for authenticity
      Dirt on back of roof (weathered)
      The inside is while roundels (the pics of dark blue could be to fool us)
      Comes with a Ruth figure variant.

      Can’t think of anything else,even if some of the above are tongue in cheek.

      Surely this is in *addition* to the Toy Fair announcements. After all, why would they bother displaying a Fugitive Doctor at Toy Fair if none of the retailers can buy it? This is just something extra surely.

      It would beggar belief if there’s not a lot of product announced at Toy Fair.
