Character Options releases first Doctor Who exclusive of 2026
The first Doctor Who exclusive figure set of 2026 has been confirmed by Character Options as a ‘Vortex Edition’ of the Tegan Jovanka & Destroyed Dalek. The set will go on sale today, Monday 26th January, available solely through www.character-online.com.
About the Set
This limited-edition “Vortex” set comes with two figures, and two accessories. Both figures feature the now customary higher specification decoration for which this Vortex range is becoming renowned for. The Tegan Figure is intricate in its styling and stands 13.7cm tall, with multiple articulation points consisting of ankles, knees, hips, waist, shoulders, elbows and neck. She comes in the outfit seen in 1984’s iconic story ‘Resurrection Of The Daleks’.

Her accessories consist of a Dalek Trooper gun, as used by Commander Lytton’s Dalek squad, as well as a Movellan virus canister. Also included is a destroyed ‘Resurrection’ style Dalek, with a blasted and scorched casing, Internal life support tank, splattered with bright green Dalek ‘Gloop’ and showing mutant Dalek creature within.

About the episode – Resurrection of the Daleks (1984)
Tegan Jovanka, an Australian air steward from Brisbane, accidentally entered the TARDIS thinking it was a real police box. And so began an amazing journey through time and space, where she encountered many species from distant planets, and faced darker corners of her own psyche.
Introduced during the Fourth Doctor’s era alongside Adric, Tegan soon found herself travelling with the newly regenerated Fifth Doctor, who repeatedly tried to get her home. Tegan repeatedly proved herself a hero, confronting evil, and helping others whenever she could. Her strength and honesty defined her time as a companion, qualities that would later see her return to aid future Doctors when the universe once again needed her.

Al Dewar, Creative Director, Character Options, said: “The one that got away… almost! This set started life many moons ago in a wholly different form and it has been across my desk at least four times in as many years. Once it was possible, it continued to be revised many times over, before finally becoming a completely new figure from top to toe. The team knocked it out the park on this one and we’re very proud to bring the one and only Tegan Jovanka to the figure range.”
This new set is on sale now through www.character-online.co.uk and costs £44.99. Each online exclusive release has unique features not to be seen on retail versions and with a limited amount available, this set is certainly one not to be missed!

January 26th, 2026 - 11:14amIve been wanting 5th doctor companions in 5 inch scale for years. Ok, Tegans likeness isnt perfect but this is a must have for me.
Hopes for adric, nyssa, turlough and kamelion in future.

January 26th, 2026 - 10:36amOh my God….I take it all back…
Character Options, I love you…..!
Would have preferred a Commander Lytton himself….or any Dalek Trooper…..or one of those homicidal policemen…
But these are mere quibbles…..

January 26th, 2026 - 10:36amFantastic. Best thing to cheer up a dull Monday.
Tegan looks superb, but that’s what we expect from this series. The spare Gun will be in the 5th Doctors hands and pointing at Davros as soon as the pack is open.
Loving the paint app to the Dalek.
