Dotor Who Twelfth Doctor 8″ Figure (Cancelled)
Doctor Who Twelfth Doctor 8-Inch Action Figure
This item in now cancelled
The wait is over! The Twelfth Doctor has been revealed and Bif Bang Pow! is proud to introduce the Twelfth Doctor in an 8-inch scale EMCE action figure! Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor stands about 8-inches tall and features real fabric clothing, accessories, and multiple points of articulation. Ages 14 and up.
Produced by the BBC, Doctor Who is the longest-running sci-fi TV series in the world. The award-winning show presents the adventures of a time traveler known simply as “the Doctor.” Along with his companions, this mysterious Time Lord journeys through time and space using his TARDIS, which appears from the outside to be an ordinary police phone booth.
The Twelfth Doctor!
by Bethany Grenald
I was really excited to hear that Peter Capaldi has been chosen to be the 12th incarnation of Doctor Who! Of course, for us, the announcement immediately threw us into high gear! We are licensed to make Doctor Who action figures, and we want to be sure that fans can get their hands on their 12th Doctor action figures as soon as possible!
So what does this mean? As soon as we heard the announcement, we began making the sculpt for the action figure’s head. It takes a long time to create a sculpt that meets our standards. We also need to get it approved by the BBC and the actor himself.
Once we get a sculpt approved, we’ve got to wait…

AlexanderOP
August 18th, 2013 - 2:09pmThis does look a lot nicer than some of the other figures that were shown.
Dominic Kane
August 18th, 2013 - 1:05pmI hope we get a 5 inch of him
the astronaut of death
August 18th, 2013 - 12:39pmbooboo do you think the people who make these already know the 12th doctor’s costume
booboo
August 18th, 2013 - 1:06pmno
the eternal doctor
August 18th, 2013 - 11:48amI do not want to sound stupid but are they continuing the 3.5 inch figures
booboo
August 18th, 2013 - 12:32pmyes but this is a different range and licence
the astronaut of death
August 18th, 2013 - 11:09ami hope we get series 8 in spring. and it is not a split series
ahhhhhhh just like the good old days
Anonymous
August 18th, 2013 - 11:23amIn the good old days it started in the Autumn and ran non-stop until the end of the next Summer.
You can’t beat that, even if you set it to today’s episode length we’d still have far more episodes.
Sam Bentley
August 18th, 2013 - 12:35pmAlso if it was like the ‘good old days’ we would have about 4 20min episodes spanning over a matter of weeks.
Dominic Kane
August 18th, 2013 - 1:07pmi think it was good for series 6 probably because it was all in the same year i hope we have a full series for S8
the astronaut of death
August 18th, 2013 - 10:25ambooboo do you think this will be just like the other 8 inch figures of do you think this one will be any different because it looks much more detailed that other figures
booboo
August 18th, 2013 - 10:38ami think it will be the same but the likeness looks very good, i see they are doing all the doctors as well
T4RD1S
August 18th, 2013 - 5:52amthat dosn’t look very good but hopefully the full reaveal will look better 🙂
Doctor Stu
August 18th, 2013 - 6:17amI think it looks good but it will look better when painted.
RexisnotyourDoctor
August 18th, 2013 - 3:30amThat’s pretty damn good. Very distinguished, and nicely disproves the “Capaldi is ugly” rubbish that’s doing the rounds on some corners of the internet.
I’m really impressed with BBP’s commitment to the show these days, and am far more interested in their figures now than the Character’s range. Just a shame it takes so long for them to turn up in the UK.
booboo
August 18th, 2013 - 10:15amwouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t cost so much to get stuff sent from the USA
you would think in this day and age they could get a parcel from one side of the world to the other for a reasonable price
the astronaut of death
August 17th, 2013 - 10:16pmcan booboo or anyone please tell me how long after matt smith was announced as the 11th doctor we got a glimpse of his costume.
Ryan Denyer
August 17th, 2013 - 10:24pmIt was during filming for The Time of Angels which, I’ve just checked, was July 2009, 6 months after the reveal but we probably won’t get a peek at Capaldi’s costume until January when they start filming Series 8
drjakeyoung
August 17th, 2013 - 10:25pmHe was announced in January 2009, and we got to see some pictures of him in his costume in about October.
WHERE she GET the MILK
August 17th, 2013 - 11:32pmSeries 8 starts filming sometime in september
Harry Judd
August 18th, 2013 - 12:21amthe only thing that remind me about the time we saw Matt’s costume, it was around the time Classic Daleks set 2 was announced
the astronaut of death
August 18th, 2013 - 10:19ami hope we get series 8 in spring and it is not a split series
ahh just like the good old days
Nicholas
August 18th, 2013 - 11:34amJenna Coleman said Series 8 starts filming in January, so that is most likely when we’ll see his costume.
the astronaut of death
August 18th, 2013 - 11:36amso we will probably get a July or august series 8
the astronaut of death
August 17th, 2013 - 10:07pmbooboo will this be just like the other 8 inch figure which fabric clothes
or do you think it will be any different
AlexanderOP
August 18th, 2013 - 8:02pm“Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor stands about 8-inches tall and features real fabric clothing, accessories, and multiple points of articulation. Ages 14 and up.”
Doesn’t hurt to read the description you know.
the astronaut of death
August 17th, 2013 - 10:04pmthis would make an excellent 5 inch figure
Dalek Caan
August 18th, 2013 - 10:10amIf only. RIP 5 inch range
timelord22
August 17th, 2013 - 9:46pmWell, I guess he won’t changing his hairstyle for the show.

Explosive Cookie
August 18th, 2013 - 9:14amAll BifBangPow! figures are available in the UK, we just have to wait for them to pop up 😛
That Random Whovian
August 17th, 2013 - 9:02pmLooks incredible! Can’t wait to find out what a 3.75″ Capaldi will look like!!
Nicholas
August 17th, 2013 - 8:48pmI really wish Character would release little teasers of upcoming figures. I really can’t wait to see how Peter looks in 3.75″ form.
BRick
August 17th, 2013 - 8:51pm…Or in Character Building. Bring it on.
bigfin20
August 17th, 2013 - 9:00pmWait an exterminateing second! We haven’t even seen a Clara, John Hurt, Zygon, or K9 figure yet!
76 Totters Lane
August 17th, 2013 - 10:00pmI’d love a character building K-9.
Dalek Caan
August 18th, 2013 - 10:12amI’d like to see a 3.75 inch David
Anonymous
August 18th, 2013 - 12:59pmI’ve made a Lego K9 to accompany my 4th Doctor along with my painted customs (Ian, Steven, Jamie, The Brig, Benton, Jo, Adric, Tegan and Rose and a number of 11th Doctors, Amys, a roman Rory and a S2 super rare River, along with a non-painted Mickey made from parts from the 20 figure set, and soon to be joined by Nyssa and Turlough)
Jamie
August 17th, 2013 - 8:40pmIf the actual figure looks that good it will look out of place with the other BiffBangPow figures!
Doom Dalek
August 17th, 2013 - 8:15pmThese look good, Are they going back to 5″ or staying at 3.75″?
booboo
August 17th, 2013 - 8:16pmno this is a different range
mrewanwatson
August 17th, 2013 - 8:02pmI wonder what he’ll be wearing as the Doctor
INJUSTICE
August 17th, 2013 - 7:58pmLooks great very excited!!!
Trenzalore
August 17th, 2013 - 7:20pmLooks great and i’m sure it will look even better with colour and costume. It looks like they have been working on it for little while, does that mean they know the 12th doctor before everyone else?
booboo
August 17th, 2013 - 7:21pmvery very unlikely
Trenzalore
August 17th, 2013 - 9:22pmSo that mean’s they did that in quite a short space of time, just makes it seem more magnificent!

August 17th, 2013 - 7:11pmwow impressed
The Driver
August 5th, 2013 - 10:57pmThey’ve already began releasing merchandise for the twelfth doctor ❗
Fezmeister
August 6th, 2013 - 12:14amNo. This won’t be out until the middle of next year.
the astronaut of death
August 5th, 2013 - 9:07pmbooboo can you give me a link to other bif bang pow figures
booboo
August 5th, 2013 - 9:12pmall on these pages http://merchandise.thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/category/general/bif-bang-pow/
Radburn
August 5th, 2013 - 8:35pmAs long as they release the other 15 first that they have already shown…
booboo
August 5th, 2013 - 8:37pmi’m ok with that now, got my BBC bargains and the 11th and 1st Doctor in the Tin from the USA so well happy right now
I just wish the Tardis was not so expensive hear compared to the USA – everything BBP is double the price here
Sam Bentley
August 5th, 2013 - 8:24pmSo, I’m assuming, his costume has already been sorted and everything? Very good! I want to see the return of the Question mark collared shirt. And maybe he should have a cane!
booboo
August 5th, 2013 - 8:29pmprobably not but will be soon, enough time to get the figure into production for next yaer
Sam Bentley
August 5th, 2013 - 8:30pmI suppose! What do you think he should have as part of his costume?
booboo
August 5th, 2013 - 8:33pmI think something Jon Pertweeish might suit him
Nicholas
August 5th, 2013 - 8:35pmI want him to wear something Edwardian
booboo
August 5th, 2013 - 8:38pmPeter Cushing style
Nicholas
August 5th, 2013 - 8:41pmYeah, but a bit… “cooler”. More Steampunk…
WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby
August 5th, 2013 - 8:45pmI don’t know what I want him to wear yet but want his personality to be joky and or a it dark.
Sam Bentley
August 5th, 2013 - 8:49pmMy mum thinks he looks a bit like Pertwee – I don’t see it myself.
Anonymous
August 5th, 2013 - 8:49pmTom baker look
Anonymous
August 5th, 2013 - 9:07pmI think it’d be cool to have him dark, moody and gloomy one moment then joking around and a bit like eccleston the next, I don’t think he’ll be a complete dark character, Peter is a comical actor, so his doctor I think will he comical too.
Vortexsurfer
August 5th, 2013 - 9:12pmI’ve always liked the idea of the new costume being revealed over time – so he sticks with the Matt Smith costume but ditches the bow tie in the first episode, and then the rest is slowly changed until you’re left with the new costume by the end of the season.
Anonymous
August 5th, 2013 - 10:08pmI think he should wear something dark that makes him look really tall and slim. pertwee like would be the best. Almost like the master maybe.
Scott the Raptor
August 6th, 2013 - 9:21amI’d like something a bit like McGann and a sonic cane and sonic screwdriver.
The Supreme Dalek
August 6th, 2013 - 9:33amI think he should wear an outfit similar to both Pertwee’s and McGann’s outfit.
sheepinafez
August 6th, 2013 - 11:09ami think he should have a tom baker/david tennant look
WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby
August 6th, 2013 - 11:28amI think he should wear various different items of clothing from previous Doctors. E.g Ninth Doctor or Dark Eyes Eighth Doctor’s Leather Jacket, Third Doctor’s Frill Fronted Shirt, Fourth Doctor’s Scarf, Second Doctor’s Bow Tie, maybe? And Tenth Doctor’s Converse Trainers.

August 17th, 2013 - 8:05pmNeeds a grey long coat and black waistcoat
Anonymous
August 18th, 2013 - 1:07pmI’d love to see the return of “edwardian” Doctors – practically every classic Doctor was nicknamed “edwardian”. Also, it seems to be a rule that each Doctor has to wear a tie, a bow tie or a cravat at least once (Eccleston on the pictures Clive shows to Rose in “Rose”.)
Luke
August 5th, 2013 - 8:24pmSounds great
Nicholas
August 5th, 2013 - 8:18pmMay get this along with Characters inevitable 3.75″ 12th Doctor.
dalek 105
August 18th, 2013 - 7:25amthey might make a 5 inch one to
RandomBananaGuy
August 18th, 2013 - 1:38pmThey’d better. Otherwise Peter Capaldi would be very small/tall compared to my other doctors
AlexanderOP
August 18th, 2013 - 8:00pmEven if they never make any other 5 inch figures for current DW series, they really should make a special figure of the current Doctor. So it’s in scale with everyone’s collections.
Doctor Who Crazy Ross
August 5th, 2013 - 8:12pmthis is interesting, I wonder how it will look 🙂
booboo
August 5th, 2013 - 8:13pmas a collector of these i am absolutely delighted!
Doctor Who Crazy Ross
August 5th, 2013 - 10:39pmI really want to start collecting these. I always have wanted to get the fourth Doctor, and after seeing the eleventh Doctor, Amy, Rory, Clara etc. I need them 🙂
