Character Options Live Press Release (Ended)
These exclusive and limited edition action figures are highly detailed and features 18 points of articulation, interchangeable head (with hat) and iconic accessories including Missy’s umbrella and “Missy Device”.
The bespoke packaging is easy to display.
Available to order now Exclusively from www.character-online.com
Character Options has today unveiled details of a brand new Limited Edition Doctor Who 5.5” scale action figure. Images of the Missy figure, first in a new range of scale Doctor Who Collector Series toys were revealed by Alasdair Dewar, Product Development Director, today via video on the Character Options’ website.
Missy, played by Michelle Gomez, is a villainous Time Lady who recently revealed herself as the Doctor’s arch enemy, the Master! Missy has been firmly established as a new fan favourite character, and as a collector’s figure, she is truly a must have.
The Missy Figure will be available in two variants; a purple outfitted version with hat from the series finale episodes; and alternatively in her ‘Heaven’ outfit, hatless with black jacket and manic grin.
The Missy figures each have 18 points of articulation and are highly detailed and decorated. Each figure head can also be swapped so that both heads can be incorporated with either outfit, and they both come with accessories.
The bespoke UK Collector Series packs are perfect for display and for the first time are re-sealable, so that the figures can be enjoyed in or out of packaging without losing their collectability.
Only 4,000 units of each of the two figures are available in exclusive UK packaging at www.character-online.co.uk for a price of £19.99 each (excluding P&P). Delivery will be made to customers by early November.
Al Dewar states: “Character Options has been designing, manufacturing and marketing Doctor Who toys since 2005, so as true fans of the brand we wanted to tell collectors the latest news in the most direct, if informal way, which is why I made the announcement in person on the website.
Missy is the first of a potential new line of highly sought after 5.5-inch action figures so we expect interest to be high and we are all very excited to share this with fans and collectors alike.
“Working with Michelle Gomez was great fun and she was the best subject we ever 3D scanned, patiently holding her facial expressions including her trademark Missy “sneer” for long periods of time. We know that many collectors have been eagerly waiting to see if Missy would at some point be included within our figure range, and at last, here she is.”

September 22nd, 2015 - 6:35pmIm hoping for the 5 inch figures to become the norm again and not just collectors butI doubt it
Mr Fish
September 22nd, 2015 - 6:26pmCrikey! What an idea! Must be something BIG… Can’t imagine they’d go through all this trouble just to announce a cuddly Davros…! 😛

September 22nd, 2015 - 6:17pmAnyone else notice the leaflet/picture has the same background (blue/red diamond style) as the new 5.5inch collector series packaging? I’m personally hoping for Missy, or a classic era companion like Tegan, Sarah, Barbara, Susan (unlikely though).
Captain jack
September 22nd, 2015 - 6:15pmI think he is going to show all the stuff he said we would never get,
Seriously though I would like to think Missy and a Cyberman at least are in the pipeline.
I really hope its not stuff we have already seen though
Doctor 909
September 22nd, 2015 - 6:10pmI bet you it will be:
Official Announcement of Wave 4 3.75″ line
Collectors series next 5-10 releases
Infomation on the new time squad
I would really like to see maybe a live size missy dievice toy, with Missy saying: “Say something nice” on a double press, and the noise given of when it’s used on one press.
