News Announcement From Character Options
The set is now available to order while stocks last from www.character-online.com
NOTE: This item will be dispatched no later than 2nd August 2021.
This Character Online exclusive set celebrates one of the most iconic, and now sadly lost adventures of Patrick Troughton’s tenure as the Second Doctor – The Abominable Snowmen.
This exclusive collector set includes an electronic classic TARDIS with & light and sound FX, plus highly detailed Second Doctor Figure, as depicted in the classic 1967 episode.
The TARDIS Type 40 TT Capsule model has different take-off and landing sounds. The TARDIS also features the more heavily weathered exterior and new colour, plus unique reversed front doors, and a square topped Fresnel lamp.
The Second Doctor articulated figure presents the Doctor as featured in the abominable Snowmen episode, echoing the look of the TARDIS with a scruffier that usual appearance and wearing his iconic huge shaggy coat held together by twine.
Perfect for all Doctor Who fans and collectors, the set comes beautifully presented in special presentation pack with diorama insert and Doctor Who heritage packaging.

July 17th, 2021 - 6:48pmIt’s rumoured that one of this year’s B&M sets is a Hartnell + Tardis set. I did wonder if they might do a new paint job on the ‘Unearthly Child’ figure, make the hat and coat white, and put that as the First Doctor variant with a Tardis?
Erato
July 18th, 2021 - 5:48amAgree. They could repaint the War Games TARDIS and give it a white sign on the doors and then it’s basically an accurate Season 4 TARDIS (from the The Smugglers to The Faceless Ones). Then, if you take the Unearthly Child figure and paint the scarf white, you’ve got a Tenth Planet variant/set. I think it would be pretty easy to do.
I’m all for the accuracy of the TARDIS exteriors now. Far too many have been released which are inaccurate but could have been if they’d been held off a tad longer, e.g. Monster of Peladon set and the Robot set.
The Outcast
July 19th, 2021 - 9:51amIn fairness, none of the TARDISes they produce will ever be quite accurate, as the box is actually based on the TY-Js prop used from Season 18 onwards. If they retooled the signs and got rid of the box under the lamp, we could get accurate TARDISes from Season 18 – 26, but I doubt they’ll ever do that, alas.
Erato
July 19th, 2021 - 11:19amI was discounting the box under the lamp when I made my comment; I know its out of proportion but the pics on this website of the TARDIS exterior variations do show that there is a square base under the lamp on all of them (despite it being very low). I’m just frustrated that the lamp on the War Games TARDIS couldn’t have been applied to the Robot or Peladon TARDISes (unless you customise yourself). Also, the Robot TARDIS lamp is pure white so it would be perfect for an accurate Newbery TARDIS with normal windows for Seasons 14-16. The first Third Doctor TARDIS with the black base is rubbish.

July 17th, 2021 - 1:03pmLiking this set. Not as essential for me as last year’s “Movie” Dalek set exclusive, but still a fine figure pack. Nice for people that the TARDIS is electronic with extra sounds over previous versions. The only electronic feature in CO TARDISes that really does it for me is an INTERIOR LIGHT!, which I think is amazing, on the rare occasions it happens!
And we finally get yeti coat 2nd Doctor.
Will definitely get one or two. Quantity depends on the price. I see it as going for £30 or £35. £40 would surely be too much, being TWICE the price of a B&M Doc & TARDIS set!
Anonymous
July 17th, 2021 - 1:52pmI’m thinking at least £40. The electronics and new tooling of the TARDIS bumps up price, as well as getting a new plastic-heavy 2ns Doctor, plus free delivery.

July 18th, 2021 - 10:06amI could have sworn the article asks people NOT to say what it is….

July 18th, 2021 - 10:24amno it doesn’t say that to be hoenst, its says “we” as in the “site” won’t name it, we would never do that, but we are not stopping it the comments, there is no point as its all over forums and social media with images anyway.
We also put in the article a great big

July 17th, 2021 - 7:40amWe just need the stovepipe hat version now don’t we?

July 17th, 2021 - 7:25amOh, I just realized in the thumbnail you changed the booboo icon to look more like the second Doctor’s Tardis! 😀
The Werewolf
July 17th, 2021 - 2:14amWell, looks like I will be selling my War Games TARDIS Set then. I only have 2 TARDIS in my character options, Pat’s and Jodie’s. Just my look this would be another Pat. Well I’m not having 2 of Pat’s TARDIS when I don’t one of the other classic Doctors, t’would be silly.
Nice fur coat Troughton, very nice to see

July 17th, 2021 - 9:23amWell you can’t please everybody.
David Minter
July 17th, 2021 - 12:42amJust yesterday, I was wondering when we’d see any news of 2021 product from CO. I guess they will still do more History Of The Daleks sets. Unless they somehow undersold/warmed shelves too much.
Philip Shaw
July 17th, 2021 - 6:10pmI think the Dalek History sets all sold out and were very popular, the next 4 sets are planned for ‘Power’,’Evil’, ‘Day’ and ‘Planet’. Though to avoid all silver releases may have a Troughton with a Pertwee for each 2 batch…allegedly!
Gareth Pugh
July 17th, 2021 - 6:46pmYeah, some (to my eyes, genuine-looking) photos of the Power and Day sets leaked a few weeks ago (same time and probably same person as took the boxed Sensorites set picture). Looked good!
David Minter
July 17th, 2021 - 10:19pmI’m hoping for Power they do a Dalek with gun stick and Dalek without gun stick. They already had a Dalek without gun stick for the 4th Doctor And Dalek set a few years ago, so it’s not like it’s difficult to do.
57305 Northern Princess
July 18th, 2021 - 1:24amPower set is a Mutant scooper Dalek and a normal Dalek
Anonymous
July 18th, 2021 - 11:36amYes, am I right in saying though that their was a scoop but no mutant I seem to remember?
David Minter
July 18th, 2021 - 2:04pmOh, CO actually did some new tooling and created a scooping arm? I would have hoped for it, and, actually, I almost put something in my previous comment about it. How it should surely not cost a whole lot to sculpt a new Dalek arm.
David Minter
July 18th, 2021 - 2:10pmHopefully, Evil will have an Emperor’s Guard Dalek and a “regular” Alpha Dalek, with name on it. Like that one CO released for the 8th Doctor And Dalek Set a few years back. Although the Emperor’s Guard was already released with the 2nd Doctor And Dalek Set, I think. So, maybe just a normal drone Dalek and one of them with Alpha on it.
Coleman
July 18th, 2021 - 5:25pmYes I’ve seen photos of the two packaged Daleks awhile back. As 57305 Northern Princess says its a Mutant scoop Dalek and a normal Dalek.
Just from memory though I didn’t think the Mutant was included, just the Dalek with scoop. (very nice though)
booboo
July 18th, 2021 - 5:31pm57305 Northern Princess
Wonder how many people here instantly recognise what that is, and I’m one of them!
The Outcast
July 19th, 2021 - 9:55amNot quite an instant recognition, but I immediately knew it was referring a locomotive.
David Minter
July 19th, 2021 - 2:16pmI thought the Northern Princess was a line of locomotive, too.
I found a YouTube video apparently showing the Power Of The Daleks figures in box. It appears it has a scoop, but no mutant. The scoop appears to be turned on its edge so it looks more like a coin than a strainer.

July 16th, 2021 - 10:18pmI’ve seen it on GB and definitely am gonna get it. I need THAT variant at last and obviously there’s a big selling point with the other thing involved in the set.

Alex Oswin
July 16th, 2021 - 7:40pmRemember that leaked list of B&M figures from back in March? I wonder if a variant of this Doctor will be in a Five Doctors set, like we saw with the Chase Daleks last year.
booboo
July 16th, 2021 - 7:42pmdid wonder that, would make sense in a way
Philip Shaw
July 18th, 2021 - 8:17amHopefully the Hurndall variant, 2nd Dr in fur coat, maybe aged, different trousers, and a Pertwee. 4th Dr is mostly from Shada clips and we have that figure and the 5th Dr hadn’t changed much costume wise to warrant another figure that’s not different from the Visitation figure. 5th may appear in the rumoured ‘Earthshock’ set with Cyberleader and scout, like the 7th ‘Silver Nemesis’ set.
Alex Oswin
July 16th, 2021 - 7:37pmIf we’re seeing previous prototype figures being finally released I’m hoping we get the Rose Tyler with more accurate face sculpt that also leaked.
Jackson Lake
July 16th, 2021 - 10:18pmI think they didn’t do that one originally because Billie Piper didn’t want anymore figures produced in her likeness. But since then, Eaglemoss and Big Chief have released figures of Rose in her Series 4 attire, so maybe Piper’s changed her mind in recent years.
Anonymous
July 16th, 2021 - 10:37pmYes definitely, anything to replace the disco dancing Rose.
Anonymous
July 16th, 2021 - 11:24pmThey will never release Rose unfortunately.

July 16th, 2021 - 7:18pmJust seen the pictures.
Blimey this is good.
booboo
July 16th, 2021 - 7:34pmagreed, a lot of attention to detail going on here
And i see comparisons are being made between a hand painted years old prototype that should never have been seen and maybe not possible to replicate with a mass produced item are a little unfair
Anonymous
July 16th, 2021 - 7:05pmI like that the main picture for this post on the merchandise page has a TARDIS with the sign swapped

July 16th, 2021 - 7:00pmI like the way you changed the TARDIS logo to match, booboo.
Mark Belsom
July 16th, 2021 - 5:44pmThis set has really surprised me, I never thought we’d see the Fur coat Troughton get a release, there’s hope for the yeti figure yet.
Doctor Stu
July 16th, 2021 - 10:57pmI wonder if we’ll get an Andy stone and Lazarus maybe in the far future if they’re releasing figures they already have the prototypes for
the ergon
July 16th, 2021 - 5:44pmThere will be quite a few shaky fingers hovering over the add to basket next week if they remember. I imagine there will be enough to go around.
Stevenbird98
July 16th, 2021 - 4:44pmThe prototype of the 2nd doctor figure looks a lot better. The paintwork on the coat doesn’t look brilliant for the finished figure with the two tone brown
Coleman
July 16th, 2021 - 5:05pmI usually don’t re- paint any of my CO figures as I’m very happy with the standard of paintwork on them, however I was thinking about painting the coat on the 2nd Doctor to look more like the prototype version which is superb. (The new paint job is strange).
James17
July 16th, 2021 - 5:49pmThe coat from the prototype is not meant to be the same as the one in Abominable Snowman. The prototype was the Five Doctors coat, which is not the same as the Abominable one, hence the very different, but accurate, paint job. The Five Doctors version is very likely to be released in the rumoured Five Doctors set in October.
booboo
July 16th, 2021 - 5:51pmthought had occurred, wont effect sales though, collectors will want both i would imagine.
Mrs Croot
July 16th, 2021 - 6:02pmgod i woulf hate it being released there, for the one reson there is so much more they could do with it. I would hope for RH 1st (new head or no new parts if they still have the prototype sculpt), Master (new body) and Raston (no new sculpts in a way, if they do an android from earthshock, it would be a repaint). Like why am i complaining, i’m going to be buying it anyway.

‘IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW WHAT THIS SET IS DO NOT READ THE COMMENTS!’
Martino
July 18th, 2021 - 2:14amThat warning was added later in the day … always considered this site well moderated and safe.
TimelordTim
July 18th, 2021 - 6:24pmWarning or no warning this is still, by far, the best moderated site I’ve seen.
If anyone doesn’t want spoilers then the title of the article is enough given it says: “Due Next Week – News About a New 5.5″ On-line Exclusive Doctor Who Set”.
Clicking on it then, when you don’t want spoilers, is unnecessary and your own choice and risk (especially if you decide to also scroll to the comments).
After all, if spoilers are to be avoided then there is nothing else the article can offer until next week when there is more news.
Too easy to blame moderators and not your own choices.
booboo
July 18th, 2021 - 7:08pmerr excuse me but that line was ALWAYS in the post from the minuet it went live.

July 16th, 2021 - 4:38pmI’ve developed a good technique for avoiding spoilers, so am excited to now learn a new release or two is imminent!

July 16th, 2021 - 4:25pmI really hope he is smiling. Can’t tell from the leaked youtube image. And fact is is electronic is a good thing. I expect it to be around £35.
Neutrobyte
July 16th, 2021 - 4:25pmAll I ask is that booboo etc will post the live link the moment it’s available, and that Character will produce enough i.e. at least as many as with the Jungles of Mechanus set. Weirdly, I just had to re-register, despite ordering 3 Mechanus sets from them last year, so I encourage everyone to make sure everything is ready for when the awesome next exclusive appears.
booboo
July 16th, 2021 - 5:35pmwill do, Jungles of Mechanus was an army builder and people bought many multiples for customs at the time, same won’t happen with this
The ergon
July 16th, 2021 - 4:15pmDo we know if there are very limited numbers at all? Missing figure most wanted, wasn,t this one of your most sought after sets booboo?
The ergon
July 16th, 2021 - 4:19pmI was referring to yeti of course which if i,m right was seen before but release was pulled at the time?.
booboo
July 16th, 2021 - 5:33pmsort of, fur coat+ Yeti + Jamie.
They have gone good here though, good Tardis Variant with substantial differences, no idea on numbers though and unlike the Dalek set its a one off purchase for most people

Bundy
July 16th, 2021 - 3:24pmI’ll try to be cryptic so as not to break any riles – just wanted to note that having see the pictures I expect it will cost a good bit more than we are used to given what is written on the packaging.

July 16th, 2021 - 5:45pmYou mean the electronic stuff?

July 16th, 2021 - 5:49pmreversed and retooled doors, attention to detail has gone on here.
Bundy
July 16th, 2021 - 7:56pmYes, the electronic SFX is going to bump up the price and as booboo notes there are changes to the doors too that may have required some retooling. Also, I expect the figure uses a good bit more plastic than most. I can see this being around the £35 mark.
booboo
July 16th, 2021 - 8:15pmadd in the “free postage” for orders over £30 and i think you are looking at £39.99 minimum to be honest
