More Doctor Who 5″ Collectors Sets Due?

Second Series of 5″ Collectors Sets Due?

It appears the Toys r us sets have sold well leading to a second series. (and that’s before the 8th Doctor One hits the shelves!)

We dont know if these are Toys r us sets or perhaps exclusive some other retailer or on general release.

Somewhere along the way we are getting a 5″ Victorian 11th Doctor!

Quote:

There are two 5 inch collector sets off the back of the TRU sets which have done well

    Now the eleventh Doctors gone he can be classed as “classic”, as are 9th and 10th Doctors……so it is possible he will come out in the new costume in 5″.

      Al Dewar has stated that their won’t be a 5 inch Clara Figure but we can still hope.

      Al Dewar also stated there wouldn’t be anymore new series 5″ figures. Now we have The Snowmen Doctor on the way.

    I know the Doctor from The Snowmen is probably the closest thing we’ll ever get to a 5 inch Series 7b figure, but it would be nice to get a set with Clara, metallic Dalek Drone, Whisperman, Grand Marshall Skaldak, a 2013 Cyberman, and The Great Intelligence.

    What Victorian Doctor? Crimson Horror or Snowman?
    Also TRU? What is that? Anyways Toys R Us near me will not have any of these new sets. I got the 10th Doctor set from Toys R Us but really they did not have any of the 3.75 sets or Cyberman and Doctor figure. Really they only have 5 inch Vampire,Straight jacket Doctor and Damaged Cyberman.

    I’m really loving all these 5″ sets, they’ve rekindled my interest in buying DW figures again, which had dwindled away with the 3.5″ figures.

    It’s not just that these figures are 5″ scale that’s appealing – they are genuinely interesting and well made sets.

    Wonder if this means the Eleventh Doctor will be in Victorian garb again in the forthcoming Christmas special? Anyway, great stuff and I hope they get TRU to pick up an exclusive Yeti too!!!

      August 1st, 2013 - 10:44pm

      the problem with the yeti i would think is that’s a big chunk of plastic, expensive tooling and a one off figure with no real variants possible

      its also possible to rights to even produce the figure may be to high

    • thedaleksdeath

      August 2nd, 2013 - 11:40pm

      Maybe they could do it as a rotocast? As it hardly moved just maybe the arms move with the Yeti control thing (The silver ball)?

    I wouldn’t get so Excited, Al hasn’t confirmed that we will definitely get it i’m afraid, he states – “yes .. At 5 inch scale … If …if … It goes ahead”. It not a Definite yes at this point along with the 2nd Doctor in Coat “just to be super clear … Sculpted but NOT signed off until late 2013 at the earliest .. So no promises”

      The fact though, that he is trying to get one mass produced by Designworks Windsor (I Assume, who have already done a prototype) Is good news in its own right, Please Al don’t scrap it. This is a good step forward for 5 inch new series. And the Toys R Us Set’s are proof that the general releases are making profits.

  • SpiderDalek49

    August 1st, 2013 - 9:03pm

    From what I gather, Al has stated CO have the sculpt but it cant get the go ahead for mass production till late 2013, and even then its not definite. Also rumours of a Clara too since these are collectors sets and ‘Sets’ implies more than one figure. We could see a Snowmen Twin Pack And Another set unknown. I Will snap these up as soon as they come out 😀

      Hi I know I’m not booboo but…

      I think there may be a Twelve Doctors set released at some stage during ‘whoever’s’ reign as the Time Lord but I don’t think Dewar would rush into these things all to quickly. Mind you, 11 Drs set was only released a couple of months into Series 5…

      well the 2012 christmas special doesnt really count as series seven part 2

    • DoctorArkham

      August 3rd, 2013 - 6:01pm

      These are collectors sets for the 50th. The 3.75″ figures are for the child collectors, not the people who have loads and loads of 5″ figures. I think Dewar may have realised this but one thing we know is that the Hide and Angels Take Manhattan play set are soon to be released, hopefully followed by wave 2. Won’t continue collecting until I’m holding that The Snowmen Doctor.

      maybe a mix, there is no indication at the moment unless the the 2nd doctor is part of such a set

      August 1st, 2013 - 8:00pm

      OK thanks booboo! 🙂

    • Weep

      August 1st, 2013 - 10:11pm

      Possibly a twelve Doctor set
      – Second Doctor with big coat
      – Victorian Eleventh Doctor

    • Dalek the Supreme

      August 4th, 2013 - 6:49am

      If they make a 12 Doctors set, I’d want it to be 3.75 inch, because we already have every Doctor except the Twelfth in the 5 inch scale.
