      I wonder if we will ever see any of the scale classic electronic Tardises now?
      Or classic Doctor variants such as the TV Movie Seventh Doctor/Master or Night of the Doctor Eighth Doctor?

      The prospect of a Capaldi is captivating and the occasional 5″ release will be appreciated by fans/collectors.

    Who reckons that these Figures are going to get revealed at SDCC next Week? I’m sure hoping they are it would be foolish for them not too!

      quite possible as we know now they are Underground Toys items

      And this year it seems likely that the BBC will release the Series 9 Trailer at the Doctor Who Panel so the relase of these would perfectly coincide with that and they will undoutbly sell. Also considering the time it takes to design and develop Figures this surely means that Character have had practically a Year to make them but I could be wrong. I’m just going to hope this is the case as its been pretty stale 5″ Figure wise since the release of The Time of The Doctor Set.

      The Big Al did also hint in a Tweet on Twitter a while back “Some Doctor Could Contend…” and that if you look closely each of the beginning letters on the 4 Words spell out SDCC so he knows what’s coming out and this Announcent from WhoNA pretty much sums up that its a clear possibility, fingers crossed!

    An Update from WhoNA:

    “Just a note; we were not “officially” solicited for these. They were in the list of upcoming releases but there were no pictures or prices.
    Sounds like WhoNA weren’t allowed to let the cat out of the bag yet and Character are now doing anything they can to sway attention from it.

    This is not to throw a damper on anything, but it is to let everyone know that something is in the works. There were also no release dates, so it could be next year as far as we know. Hope not, of course, but we don’t want to misrepresent any news here.”

      bit late for that now

      original quote was

      We have been solicited for 4 different types of 5″ 12th Doctor figures…

      This is major (and reliable) US retailer so of course it going to get picked up as news.

      The info was posted on an open and viewable by all forum

      Had me thinking though when this was announced/ posted whether Character actually have the Sculpts made already or if these Figures are just an idea thats in the pipeline and that they are waiting to see if Stores like Forbidden Planet are interested in buying into the idea, Character then make them and then sell them.

    I have a feeling each one will be exclusive to a retailer. Forbidden Planet, Toys R Us, Entertainment Earth and perhaps another retailer? WhoNA always import exclusives in, so it doesn’t seem out of the ordinary.

      I expect you are right, at least two or three will be repaints. It’s just how it works.

    • booboo

      June 20th, 2015 - 9:55am

      I suspect they will all be the same

      Maybe “episode specific” with related accessory, that would be good

      June 20th, 2015 - 9:57am

      Things can work months a head, but then we are in unknown territory right now

      who knows

      The problem is if any of these are series 9 related i dont see how they could show any images until after broadcast

      June 20th, 2015 - 10:01am

      I want this figure but maybe later rather have hoody costume from last Christmas now

      June 20th, 2015 - 10:05am

      Just looked at it again and his shirt is blue

  • IKNDWTS

    June 20th, 2015 - 8:20am

    I have plugged places for information and white refers to his main outfit, with cardigan, black refers to the jumper, polka dot is the polka dot shirt and red they appear to be in the dark about. Maybe these are due a Christmas release and in fact, red is his new costume. Hmm… The plot thickens.

      Red outfit could be 12’s series nine burgundy velvet jacket..?

    • booboo

      June 20th, 2015 - 8:56am

      problem with that is that its not been broadcast yet so if it follows past trends you wont even see a pictures of it for months

    black outfit = hoodie outfit
    red outfit = robot of sherwood
    white outfit = into the dalek

    Man I really hope these just pop up like sometime immediately for Pre-order on Forbidden Planet and are releasing in a few weeks or something. I hope we don’t get promotional pics ages from now and then the actual figures are out AFTER the next series has aired.

    Getting to the age where my bank account is focusing more on my classic DVD collection… Also my DW animations are using Lego not these so I don’t want to spend too much money on them…

    I’ll probably get just one – the only problem is which?

    Black – Could mean: Black cardigan, Black jumper, black hoodie, black shirt, Black cravat (Orient Express)
    Red – Could mean: Red jacket lining (i.e. action pose from the costume’s press release), purple shirt, red spacesuit
    White – White shirt (with cardigan/hoodie) is the only possible option I think; makes you wonder whether the others are all shirt colours too.
    Polka dot – Spotty shirt (Kill The Moon), spotty jumper (I think I spotted it in Listen)

    I’m thinking most likely all shirt colours (black could be a jumper instead).
    I’m not keen on any of the spotty outfits to be honest; otherwise it depends whether any are exclusives and which ones (if any) I find!

      Could white not refer to his dressing gown from the first episode? I also hope one of those figures is the holey jumper with the red lined jacket, that’s my favorite outfit.

    • 100000BC

      June 20th, 2015 - 3:40pm

      It could refer to the dressing gown but it seems an odd figure to release – why make what may well be one of the four 5″ figures that are ever made of this Doctor an outfit that he was wearing for probably less than half an episode when you could make one of his many other outfits?
