Rory Williams 5″ Action Figure Gray Shirt, Black Vest
Rory Williams BBC / Doctor Who Experience Exclusive
Order on-line from www.bbcshop.com
Please note this is an on-line or BBC retail shop ( Including The Doctor Who Experience ) exclusive.
Amy Pond’s fiancée who, on his stag night found himself whisked away in the TARDIS. After defeating the Saturnynes and the Dream Lord, Rory was killed saving the Doctor’s life during a battle with the Silurians. However, his body was absorbed by the time energies leaking across time and space – resulting in him never having existed. However, his essence was placed into an Auton replica of himself in Roman times and after briefly reuniting with Amy, he accidentally killed her.
To restore her, the Doctor placed her in the Pandorica and for two thousand years Rory stood guard over her, the legendary Lone Centurion. When time was finally rebooted, Rory became human again, married Amy and once again joined her and the Doctor in the TARDIS. Recreate scenes from Doctor Who with this incredibly detailed and fully articulated 5-inch Rory Williams action figure. One supplied. For ages 5 years and over.
This item is also available from The Doctor Who Experience. It is also available in BBC shops, Please check on availability before travelling.

August 21st, 2012 - 8:12pmOne thig I just thought of is… people who are complaining about the fact a lot of his costume is Primeval stuff… You cant blame them. And anyway… when the next wave comes out I’m sure we’ll get a different Rory (Like with the River varient) and others e.i. new Amy, New Doctor MAYBE a Jenna-Louise.

August 21st, 2012 - 7:57pmAfter saying that the hair is wrong, I realised that Rory has had three hair styles. One – the scruffy look 2 – the combed, quiff-like look and 3 – the scruffy shortish hair (When he was a roman he had this hair like on the figure). (Not counting the pony tail 🙄 ) It IS wrong yet slighty right.

Doctor Stu
August 21st, 2012 - 8:25pmOh yeh just looked at the asylum pics of Rory, the hair looks similar though
dalek 1

Doctorpond393
August 21st, 2012 - 7:34pmPut your finger over the hair then say if it looks like him

August 21st, 2012 - 7:35pmWhat do you mean ” again “?
Jason doctorwhoone
August 21st, 2012 - 5:47pmI like the look of that standard release more.
This BBC Shop version in my opinion looks kinda bland and boring.
@SirRoundSound
August 21st, 2012 - 5:53pmI completely disagree, I prefer this version so much more, the other one is a bit of an eye sore, and will stick out so much, good in some cases, but not right now for me, so hence why I ordered 2 of this one, and not the other
Jason doctorwhoone
August 21st, 2012 - 6:47pmWell I did say ‘my opinion’ 😛
the ergon
August 21st, 2012 - 5:45pmYOU WAIT ALL THIS TIME FOR RORY AND THEN TWO COME ALONG. SAME FIGURE DIFFERENT PAINTJOB. HE ISN,T COMING IN A RED GILET AND WHITE SHIRT AS WELL IS HE?. COSTCUTTING AGAIN. MAKES SENSE I SUPPOSE,BUT HARDLY A SURPRISE.
Scott
August 21st, 2012 - 5:45pmSorry but is there a BBC shop near White City train station or is that just the studios? Like will you be able to buy it from there or not or is it just online?
booboo
August 21st, 2012 - 5:46pmnot sure but i suspect these will be in the BBC shops as well
drwhosnippets
August 21st, 2012 - 5:38pmI’m gonna buy one of each and keep this one packaged. I was planning on buying 2 from FP but now I have changed my mind!
WhoEleven
August 21st, 2012 - 5:45pmAgreed DWS!
The12thDoctor
August 21st, 2012 - 5:45pmi thought you where on here xD are you going to review it?
David
August 21st, 2012 - 5:20pmAlready oredered 2.. I’m pretty sure this BBC Shop exclusive will become a very sought after and rare action figure, like the time crash, so hurry up and grab one! 😀
@SirRoundSound
August 21st, 2012 - 5:37pmHey, is this EdinburghWho? 🙂 You know me! Not sure if you will remember though 🙂
Nicholas
August 21st, 2012 - 5:05pmI think i’ll get this one instead of the regular. The colours are nicer
WhoEleven
August 21st, 2012 - 4:29pmI think this one looks better than the normal release
Do you think this will be a fast seller?
The Silent Silent
August 21st, 2012 - 4:30pmin one word. YES
Mumble5557
August 21st, 2012 - 4:37pmYes. That’s why I am after two of this variant (well it’s an exclusive aswell)
gary
August 21st, 2012 - 4:27pmEveryone saw the word Exclusive sowas interested. It looks better than the original so everyone was interested. It’s only a tenner so we all bought it! They won’t arrive at our doors until about June haha!!
timelord22
August 21st, 2012 - 4:21pmJust pre-ordered this 🙂
booboo the third
August 21st, 2012 - 5:15pmsame
Mumble5557
August 21st, 2012 - 4:09pmProbably buying two of these and one of the other
Judooning
August 21st, 2012 - 3:58pmJust pre-ordered this.
Did anyone else order from their shop ‘as a guest’? Because i did and there is no where that shows me my order status. I know my order has obviously been taken because they sent me an email confirming it…But it would just be nice to see my order status on the site.
Doctor Stu
August 21st, 2012 - 11:57pmDid you order on an iPad/iPod instead of a computer because I tried to order mine via my iPad and it wouldn’t work so i did it on the main computer
tom
August 21st, 2012 - 3:57pmmuch better than the other one.
whovianmaster
August 21st, 2012 - 3:54pmits a preey good figure except i was expecting a little more and also i think it looks nothin like rory but still its a great figure 🙂
@SirRoundSound
August 21st, 2012 - 3:31pmSo just Pre-ordered 2 of this figure, and 1 of the other variant, just to be on the safe side, I noticed the Exclusive one comes out 2 days after the release of the other variant, not sure why, but will be nice to have them coming roughly at the same time, so really excited for this figure as you can tell 😀
timelord22
August 21st, 2012 - 3:24pmI’ll just have to buy both!
Dtron Wunder
August 21st, 2012 - 3:22pmI wonder if there will be a roman variant aswell ,
i wished one of these would have been that one ! also with the auton gun hand
@SirRoundSound
August 21st, 2012 - 3:18pmJust Pre-ordered this figure, not sure if I will order the non-exclusive one yet, this one looks much nicer, and I think, will looks better on display, rather than a bright blue and red figure, so this has won me over, really can’t wait for this figure now, been ages since I have wanted a figure like this!
@SirRoundSound
August 21st, 2012 - 3:21pmJust ordered another, not going to risk only buying one just in case or a paint error on one, and since it is an exclusive to the BBC Shop, it won’t be round for long, and if I wanted to get hold of another, I am not going to risk paying Ebay prices, so better safe than sorry!
Nathan
August 21st, 2012 - 3:23pmI have pre-ordered both of them. this is so I can take the one out of the packaging (thee non exclusive) and keep the exclusive one in packaging. Therefore, if possible I would recommend getting both
Doctorpond393
August 21st, 2012 - 3:23pmCan someone send me a link to the BBC shop one please?
booboo
August 21st, 2012 - 3:24pmits on the page at the top http://www.bbcshop.com/doctor-who/doctor-who-rory-williams-figure-bbc-shop-exclusive/invt/04574/
@SirRoundSound
August 21st, 2012 - 3:25pmYes, good point, might order just one of the non-exclusive one, it doesn’t look that good compared to this one, but will be nice to have it anyway, and here’s the link 🙂 http://www.bbcshop.com/doctor-who/doctor-who-rory-williams-figure-bbc-shop-exclusive/invt/04574/

August 21st, 2012 - 3:25pmThanks
Rooners
August 21st, 2012 - 3:10pmI didnt realise the BBC shop website have free delivery in the UK…and some very old anbd cheap figures.
Anyway…just a silly question…did Rory actually wear either of the outfits of these two figures? I think the blue bodywarmer is the only thing I’ve seen him in…but neither of the shirts or the black bodywarmer…maybe I should take more notice 🙂
Doctorpond393
August 21st, 2012 - 3:15pmNo I don’t remember him in these clothes either
Dtron Wunder
August 21st, 2012 - 3:17pmIm now looking on the website and i can see many “old” figures for sale for reasonable prices and im now going to make an account on it , very tempted to get the racnoss deluxe alongside pre ordering rory
Dtron Wunder
August 21st, 2012 - 3:19pmThe reaper is only 12.99 :0
Doctorpond393
August 21st, 2012 - 3:20pmI got the reaper in toys r us in 2007 for £7
Wouldyoulikeajellybaby?
August 21st, 2012 - 3:25pmThe Clothes are from Series 5 Episodes 8 & 9 The Hungry Earth And Cold Blood.
Anonymous
August 21st, 2012 - 4:16pmYeah, it is just a messed up version of the costume fro mThe Hungry Earth/Cold Blood. Apparently they can’t make the “chequered” design so jsut go for a single colour instead.
The other one wasn’t worn on screen (it probablly comes from promo pictures from last year).
Doctorpond393
August 21st, 2012 - 4:21pmIt looks like the doctors wife but they’ve bogged up the shirt
Dtron Wunder
August 21st, 2012 - 3:05pmHmm i like this one and i like the other one i cant decide which one is best , theres only one way to find out ………… FIGHT !!!!!! LOL
Dtron Wunder
August 21st, 2012 - 3:18pmI think ill get this one ! because the bright dark red colour doesnt look very attractive (not in that way !) but i do like this shirt !
Anonymous
August 21st, 2012 - 3:05pmWho’s this meant to be? 😛 A guy from Primeval it looks like.
Doctorpond393
August 21st, 2012 - 3:08pmThey have reused the arms and legs from a primeval figure so hes not far off!
Give me a Dalek any day
August 21st, 2012 - 2:57pmThe description is a bit misleading isn’t it? Makes it sound like a Roman Rory figure.
Doctorpond393
August 21st, 2012 - 2:59pmYeah it should have just said that he amys husband that’s a simple thing to say about him! Oh don’t forget to mention his nose!!!
Doctorpond393
August 21st, 2012 - 2:56pmI prefer the other one if I’m honest. But seriously we wait two years for one and then two come along at once!?!?!?
Proffesor When
August 21st, 2012 - 2:56pmIsn’t that just a repaint of the whoblackpool one?
Doctorpond393
August 21st, 2012 - 2:56pmYes
Proffesor When
August 21st, 2012 - 3:01pmShame, i would love an auton roman version.
Doctorpond393
August 21st, 2012 - 3:02pmYeah that would have been cool maybe the doctor who experience will have a variant and it will be that
Wouldyoulikeajellybaby?
August 21st, 2012 - 4:00pmApparently there will be a Doctor Who Experience Exclusive Rory figure but based of his appearence at the start of Day Of The Moon where he has tally marks all over him.
Anonymous
August 21st, 2012 - 4:17pmAnd chances are they’ll want to repaint that and have the standard version, and one from The Doctor’s Wife won’t be too hard now they have the basic sculpt.
Typical you wait ages for a Rory and then five show up at once.
