SDCC 2016 New 13 Doctors Figure Set on Show

Its that time of year again with SDCC 2016 about to start
Wednesday saw previews night between 6-9 pm, that’s 2-5am in the morning for people in the UK.
From what we can see nothing new was on show.
It starts on Thursday at 9.30am which is 5.30pm in the UK so no late night waiting for any information.
If anything is on show it should soon become clear.
The only Doctor Who items we know of so far are the 2 Titans, Ghost 12th Doctor and Glitter Tardis, Titan Comics, an electronic 20 questions Tardis, 5.5 “x 7” giant mug and Rory’s Story Cubes.
This year we have noticed the “exclusive” title has been dropped in many cases and replaced with “first to market” which means it is only sold there first.
I suspect all eyes (where Doctor Who is concerned) will be on the Underground Toys Stand where, assuming its on show, something “big” is coming (and no its not the mug)…

July 22nd, 2016 - 1:48pmEssential buy! Definitely going to get this! Very excited!
Dalek Sec
July 22nd, 2016 - 1:42pmThey could’ve done a 10th Doctor figure with his costume from Silence in the library. I really liked the black shirt, purple tie look. Or a maroon coloured velvet coat 12th Doctor. However I don’t know if a recolour for that would be accurate.
Doyouhearthem?
July 22nd, 2016 - 1:30pmAm I correct in thinking that the versions of the tenth and eleventh doctors are the same as in the last boxset?
Anonymous
July 22nd, 2016 - 1:53pm10 has white shirt instead of blue.
Apparently, 11 has new paint apps, but don’t quote me on that.
DoctorSong2016
July 22nd, 2016 - 1:58pm11 is more accurate to Series 5. Apparently he is essentially the fez figure without the fez.
koloth
July 22nd, 2016 - 2:28pmThey could have added glasses to the 10th. That’s one of the two variants missing.
DoctorSong2016
July 22nd, 2016 - 2:39pmI would have preferred an End of Time Ten with no cuts, but that’s just personal preference.
TheDarkAndTheLight
July 22nd, 2016 - 3:23pmYes, this Eleven has the ‘fez and mop’ variant colour scheme, but the Mackenzie two-by-two dogtooth (checked tweed) jacket sculpt, rather than the Donegal (flecked tweed) jacket sculpt exclusive to the ‘fez and mop’ variant.
DoctorSong2016
July 22nd, 2016 - 3:31pmBasically it’s the original 11 in tweed figure repainted to look like the 11 with Fez figure without the fez.
TheDarkAndTheLight
July 22nd, 2016 - 3:32pmIt always confused me that they used the Mackenzie ‘checked’ tweed sculpt as the main one, when the onscreen jacket only appeared in Victory of the Daleks, The Time of Angels, & Flesh and Stone, while the Donegal ‘flecked’ tweed appeared in every single other episode of Series 5. It was just a happy coincidence for Characters Options that the new jacket Matt wore throughout Series 6 and 7A happened to be Shetland tweed (a different type of checked tweed), allowing them to continue to use their favoured jacket sculpt for their Eleven figures.
DoctorSong2016
July 22nd, 2016 - 3:56pmTo be honest, I never really saw any difference in Series 5, it shows how much I pay attention to it.
LastOfTheSonics
July 22nd, 2016 - 1:18pmThat second doctor looks like a two doctors release.
Anonymous
July 22nd, 2016 - 1:21pmThat’s because it is
Velvet Doctor
July 22nd, 2016 - 1:15pmI hope this isn’t a silly question, but what story is that 1st Doctor costume from? And where has the inspiration for the War Doctor come from?
DoctorSong2016
July 22nd, 2016 - 1:18pmThe Web Planet. War is supposed to be from Day of the Doctor, but with darker colour tones.
Omega63
July 22nd, 2016 - 1:25pmWar looks like a mid-point between the Young War Doctor and the older one we see in Day in my opinion. Darker hair and beard, darker jacket makes it appear new. I see this as a middle in the Time War sort of figure
The Moment
July 22nd, 2016 - 12:34pmAre people going to get this. Or wait for announcement of more figures. Or both?
Anonymous
July 22nd, 2016 - 12:40pmPersonally I hope there are more figures.
AngryDrashig
July 22nd, 2016 - 12:41pmSaving better stuff for later ?
DoctorSong2016
July 22nd, 2016 - 12:43pmI doubt we’ll get anything else just yet, something will probably be announced near the end of the year that will be released January/February time.
booboo
July 22nd, 2016 - 12:55pmif there is anything shop will want it October time like last year
Ian
July 22nd, 2016 - 12:54pmI am happy with this. I was only saying to a m8 I wanted another war Dr. The guy who did these figures said 3rd is from the time monster. In time monster he didn’t have a bow tie. I’d say more like the 3 doctors
WhoFan4ever
July 22nd, 2016 - 1:50pmBoth. Definitely both.
The Moment
July 22nd, 2016 - 2:17pmDon’t know whether to get this, or wait for more announcements. I think the price may of this will be the deciding factor.
AngryDrashig
July 22nd, 2016 - 12:25pmAny classic tv batman fans here? What about the three new busts from Diamond. Superb I hope the ones which are eventually marketed are as good as the display models. Lord I wish they were doing some Doctor Who stuff.
Alvin
July 22nd, 2016 - 11:42amThis set looks awesome, I hope it becomes available in the UK as I will definitely be ordering it
Anonymous
July 22nd, 2016 - 11:37amwould have liked this one to have blue bow tie 11th doctor and velvet jacket 12th doctor with new sonic but I will still get this
Alex
July 22nd, 2016 - 11:36amThis set is really cool, we’re getting some really nice figures, but IMO, it feels to me like they’re not putting their all into it. Some of these are revamps of already released figures, when this could have been a wonderful opportunity to release some never before seen stuff. For the fourth doctor, you could have had the costume from terror of the zygons, for the 5th doctor, you could have had him jacketless, 7th doctor from the TV movie, 10th doctor as John Smith, 11 in his green coat and Stetson, 12 in his red velvet coat with waistcoat and revised head sculpt. But the biggest issue I have is why the hell does 3 not come with his purple Inverness cape, I’ve been waiting to see it
booboo
July 22nd, 2016 - 11:43amthe original release of this was to include the 4th doctor from terror, fur coated trougton, hurndall doctor all of which would have taken considerable new investment in tooling but retailers did not want it
they are probably having to make considerably less of these so compromises would have to made using existing tooling to keep the price right
Ian
July 22nd, 2016 - 12:57pmI heard it was CO not retailers that cancelled the set with 4th from Terror of the zygons.
booboo
July 22nd, 2016 - 12:59pmthat’s because there was not enough interest, in fact i think they pitched it twice because one was on show in 2013 along with those iconic moment sets nones of which happened
TheDarkAndTheLight
July 22nd, 2016 - 1:16pmAny idea what the iconic moment sets were planned to be, booboo? I’m intrigued, as the title alone makes them sound amazing, but this is the first I’m ever hearing of them.
booboo
July 22nd, 2016 - 1:23pmthey were a figure with a card background, Like the Cyberman with St Pauls, there was a Sontaran and 4th doctor , nothing was set in stone at the time but they never got off the ground
TheDarkAndTheLight
July 22nd, 2016 - 3:16pmIt’s a shame they never materialized – I personally wouldn’t have been too bothered about the cardboard backdrops, but it would have been a great opportunity to pick up some of the older released classic figures I missed out on.
Anonymous
July 22nd, 2016 - 11:36amid love to see a big finish doctor collectors series with figures of each doctor from a particular audio story although that might be hard for a few doctors
prototype dalek
July 22nd, 2016 - 11:39amThey might not have the copyright to make the characters and doctors from big finish
Omega63
July 22nd, 2016 - 12:38pmThey clearly have some sort of agreement, after all Reel Time and other Big Finish covers feature the Sixth Doctor we see in this set. However, I believe Reel Time was simply a video cast free thing so there may be overlapping of deals which allowed that particular one to happen.
Savethecoffeeboysavetheworld
July 22nd, 2016 - 11:34amAre 5, 7, 10 and 11 the same as they were in the 11 doctors set
TheDarkAndTheLight
July 22nd, 2016 - 11:48amNo – Five has a new trouser design and dirtier trainers, Seven has his TV Movie tartan trousers, as well as coming with a TV Movie sonic screwdriver, Ten has a white shirt for the first time in figure form, and Eleven has a screen accurate Series 5 colour scheme for the first time ever in this variant (including lighter tweed and grey trousers), only ever seen before on The Big Bang ‘fez and mop’ variant. These are just the main changes, but there are smaller paint differences in all of the figures in the new set.
TARDISGuy
July 22nd, 2016 - 11:53am5th Doctor would be different even without the new paint apps as the one in the 11 Doctors set was the Season 19-20 red shirt costume, whereas this is the Season 21 green shirt one
Savethecoffeeboysavetheworld
July 22nd, 2016 - 12:05pmThank you both
TheDarkAndTheLight
July 22nd, 2016 - 12:08pmI hadn’t actually picked up on that, TARDISGuy – thanks!
Doctor 909
July 22nd, 2016 - 11:04amApparently 12 has a dark blue shirt, so I guess is a more accurate variant of the Time Heist costume
the doctor 19
July 22nd, 2016 - 11:13amgood , just what we need
TimeLord
July 22nd, 2016 - 11:04amWhich would be more worth getting, this or the original???
Nathan
July 22nd, 2016 - 11:20amI would say this as it has more figures then the previous set and some were particularly sought after such as 8 and war when first released.
prototype dalek
July 22nd, 2016 - 11:41amDefinitely this one personally especially as it has the NotD 8th Doctor and the War Doctor as well. Also the 12th Doctor as well.
TheYetiNextDoor
July 22nd, 2016 - 10:58ambooboo, what do you think of the set? what do you think is the best figure?
booboo
July 22nd, 2016 - 11:00amsome really good variants, 3rd and 6th
Anonymous
July 22nd, 2016 - 10:53amWell it looks like this might be it, and now we’ll have to wait another year or so before they release another figure or two.
Savethecoffeeboysavetheworld
July 22nd, 2016 - 10:26amI am SO EXCITED!!!
Velvet Doctor
July 22nd, 2016 - 9:59amDo we know anything yet about this set’s release/ pricing? Or is it too early to call anything yet
booboo
July 22nd, 2016 - 10:01amtrying to find out, no responses so far, it maybe to early for the people concerned to want to disclose it quite yet
CharlieTheWhovian
July 22nd, 2016 - 11:13amIt appears to day $150 at SDCC from the photo so thats just over £110
booboo
July 22nd, 2016 - 11:20amas i have said many times it wont stand that price here and there is large discrepancy between USA prices on Character branded items and the UK
best Guess £69.99, if they can produce good variants for B&M for £5 each they can do it here
Velvet Doctor
July 22nd, 2016 - 1:13pmThat’s a great price considering the amount of figures and the brand new variations on all figures… Let’s hope you’re right 😉
WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby?
July 22nd, 2016 - 9:38amIs it just me or does the Tenth Doctor figure’s hair look different?
Velvet Doctor
July 22nd, 2016 - 9:59amFrom what I can see, its the same sculpt, perhaps with more accurate paint
Stike
July 22nd, 2016 - 9:23amThings to note:
Colin comes with the sonic lance
McCoy’s trousers are a different colour
McCoy also comes with a TV movie sonic
Eccleston’s face appears to have new paint applications
Smith is wearing his brown boots with the red bow tie and shirt, I don’t think that has been done before

July 22nd, 2016 - 9:15amThe Eighth, War, Six, Second And First look awsome

Jordan Scott
July 22nd, 2016 - 9:00amThat’s great! You can zoom right in!
Mr Sandman
July 22nd, 2016 - 8:29amWhat a lovely set. I love that each figure is new, from essentially “remastering” some figures, to creating completely new variants.
DoctorFan
July 22nd, 2016 - 8:06amAccording to sources on another website there is some more figures as well
We’ll have to wait and see
booboo
July 22nd, 2016 - 8:16amwhat sources? at SDCC
CharlieTheWhovian
July 22nd, 2016 - 11:16amAre these sources reliable?
booboo
July 22nd, 2016 - 11:30amAs it seems UT are only selling items on their stand, its possible there is more coming but they are not there because they are not available to sell yet.
If you look at their stand, considering how big their portfolio is now, there is very very there
of course there maybe nothing else, we just dont know yet
CharlieTheWhovian
July 22nd, 2016 - 1:59pmHow many more figures do you think we can expect? Any ideas as to what they may be?
DoctorFan
July 22nd, 2016 - 7:27amWould have preferred a resurrection 5th doctor but I suppose it is a slight variation to the ones I have
TARDIS H
July 22nd, 2016 - 7:17amOne thing that is a bit annoying is that they ‘re-release the rarer figures I already have the 6th doctor real time, night of the Doctor 8th doctor and war doctor. Bringing this out makes it lose its rarity. I have these in its packaging(like I do with all my figures).they did this with the 3.75 dalek sec I found it in its original wave 1packaging but then it came out in the ‘into the dalek’ set. I have spent a lot of money on some of these figures and then they release them a few years later.I don’t see the point of having rare figures when they must’ve-release them.
I guess it’s good for the people who didn’t manage to get them.
Does anyone agree
TARDIS H
Anonymous
July 22nd, 2016 - 7:20amNo not at all! I need all of those figures
TARDISGuy
July 22nd, 2016 - 7:26amNone of the figures in this set are exactly the same as previous releases. The 6th has many more different shades of blue compared to the Real Time one, the 8th is post-crash on Karn, so has scars and battered clothes and the War, by the looks of it, has a whole new, or close to, new paint job, with darker colours and sharper details. So strictly speaking, these aren’t “re-relases” as such more “re-vamped”.
TARDISGuy
July 22nd, 2016 - 7:30amThey have done it before. I’m thinking specifically of the D84 Robot figure that was re-released last year after several years of rarity. So it has happened (and I dare say will happen again), it just technically hasn’t happened here. The three figures you mentioned would look noticeably different to their earlier counterparts, so I don’t think the value of the originals should be dented much, if at all. Especially if, as you’ve said, they’re still in their packagings
Number 6
July 22nd, 2016 - 7:53amI agree with you TARDISGUY, that the release of the 13 Doctors are being revamped but the people who will likely to distribute them and they have make sure it is completely different from the previous ones, except the War/Twelfth Doctor.
Still, they look really great and I do like the Third Doctor’s outfit. It’s brilliant. Thought I do not really like the Eight Doctor in his Time War outfit, it should have been in his normal outfit. Would have been looked nicer.
Matt Smith (aka 11th Dr Who) outfit is the same as the previous one, I would prefer the outfit he worn on Series 7b, with Clara.
But to the rest of the Doctor, they look great. Hope they might release, unless Character Online gives a second thought!
DoctorSong2016
July 22nd, 2016 - 9:23amI’m going to make this loud and clear as many others have said.
THE SIXTH DOCTOR IS NOT FROM REAL TIME IT IS FROM THE AUDIO SERIES, WHICH IT IS ACCURATE TO AND THE REAL TIME FIGURE THAT ALREADY EXISTS IS ACCURATE TO REAL TIME.
booboo
July 22nd, 2016 - 9:42amTARDISGuy
July 22nd, 2016 - 9:43amWe know it’s not from Real Time but because both it and this new figure share a blue theme, they’re going to be compared, whether unfairly or not.
DoctorSong2016
July 22nd, 2016 - 9:49amIt’s like saying that if we had an Attack of the Cybermen Sixth Doctor figure and then they brought out a version from Trial of a Timelord, people would say that it’s been done before because all they’ve done is change the waistcoat design.
TARDISGuy
July 22nd, 2016 - 10:07amWell, that did happen when the 11 Doctors set was put out (the Terror of the Vervoids is just a repaint original 6th Doctor). I’m not saying I agree with the comparison (because clearly the two figures are different and serve the on screen, or on-cover as it were, costumes they represent), all I’m saying is that people are going to compare them regardless.
TARDIS H
July 22nd, 2016 - 10:29amI am really pleased with this set and will buy it
TARDIS H
Grant
July 22nd, 2016 - 11:48amI understand the problem with rarity but as far as I’m concerned it’s brilliant. I really don’t care about the people who already own the figures and are annoyed that they’re no longer worth as much due to a re-release. I care more about myself and other fans who haven’t had the chance to own certain figures, usually due to scalping more than rarity. I have some “rare” figures still in packaging that have been re-released and I’m not bothered that they’ve dropped in value because it means more fans who maybe don’t have a lot of money get the chance to own something they once couldn’t. I think it’s selfish to say; “I don’t want other fans to own this as I own it and want it to still be worth a lot of money”. Were all in the same fandom, we should be happy that fans get a second chance at owning an awesome figure/figures. Plus rarity in these figures often comes from selfish tw*ts who buy 4 or 5 if each set, making it harder for other fans to get. Just like the current B&M sets that scalpers are sticking up on eBay, which is pathetic. Bring on more rare re-releases!
TARDIS H
July 22nd, 2016 - 11:59amI fully understand and appreciate what you guys are saying and I think it’s great and another opportunity to get these figures. I never ment what I said to come across as selfish like what Grant said.I am glad. I am sorry if it came across as being selfish.
TARDIS H
booboo
July 22nd, 2016 - 12:05pmdont worry about, to a certain extend I know how you feel if you collect something that you think has gained in value, but i doubt anyone ever bought the figures originally as an investment.
Grant
July 22nd, 2016 - 12:02pmTARDIS H sorry mate wasn’t specifically talking to you, just putting my opinion across. I’ve seen things said before about rare figures but in a much more hostile way and since this comments thread was regarding rare re-releases I thought I’d post my thoughts here. I wasn’t hating on you buddy
TARDIS H
July 22nd, 2016 - 12:10pmThanks. That’s ok, absolutely fine. Sorry for the miss understanding.
I rather like the Colin figure as he is my favourite doctor.
TARDIS H
booboo
July 22nd, 2016 - 12:12pmprobably my fav figure in the whole set
Grant
July 22nd, 2016 - 12:14pmI’m excited about the 2nd Dr. I’m sure there was a prototype for a 2 Doctors Troughton a few years back
TARDISGuy
July 22nd, 2016 - 12:37pm3rd and 6th are probably my faves in this set. 1st and 9th, close second.
Jack
July 22nd, 2016 - 6:34amIt think they should do the master set
Number 6
July 22nd, 2016 - 7:53amWhy not? It would be a great collection.
DoctorFan
July 22nd, 2016 - 8:00amWith maybe a series 9 MISSY variant of no hat and serious face
DannyTheNerd
July 22nd, 2016 - 9:05amI would get that. I only have 1 Master figure and Missy so that’d be a great set
Anonymous
July 22nd, 2016 - 9:21amwhy Not
Maybe do a Eric Roberts one while they are at it
Is so love a Snake Version
And a the Clockless crispy master
The super whovian
July 22nd, 2016 - 5:30pmAnd why not have a Alex MacQueen master figure as well I believe the big finish audios are cannon
patchy
July 22nd, 2016 - 6:32amI’ll be getting this because I missed out on last one 11 Dr set and haven’t got 5th 8th war 9th 10th how much is it and is it going to be released in england
TARDISGuy
July 22nd, 2016 - 5:33amI love it. I want it. I need it.
So, yes, I could complain about 12 not being the white shirt/cardigan costume, or about 11 not having the Series 6 green coat, or about 10 not having the new head sculpt, or about 4 not having a hat, or about 2 not being the stovepipe hat version or the fur coat version, (all complaints I have seen in various places) but, quite honestly, none of that really bothers me. The 12, 11 and 10 variants mentioned above won’t ever be released (probably). But even if they were, this set rocks. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 9th Doctor variants are great and the new paint apps on 4th, 5th and War Doctors particularly, look really good.
I know several people who missed out on the 11 Doctors set, as well as the Resurrection 5th Doctor, Real Time 6th Doctor and NOTD 8th Doctor, so they’ll be wanting this set ASAP. I’ll be buying if/when I can. Love it.

July 22nd, 2016 - 2:44amIts a shame though, waiting all this time for a war doctor rerelease, and we don’t get the moment.
