    Perhaps with their interminable skill as regurgiators of old stock, they could repaint the girl as the Vixen and shave the youth’s head and turn him into the Dark Destroyer and sell it as a Doctor Who / Chase crossover set 😀

    Tempts me to just sleep in and stay in bed a little longer when they have a next “very special product offer”.

      you sleep until 12pm?

    Just goes to show that rereleasing the exact same figures with minor variants doesn’t get you any sales if you’ve got to flog these off for half price

      For B&M, for the most part they more than likely did, these are clearly again unsold USA sets where there appears to be very little market now and they have to shift them some how.

      booboo, it’s not so much a case of “very little market now” in the States, as a very specific niche market. There is interest enough in an ongoing release of Classic Who characters (Doctors/Tardis’s and companions) within a specific fan/collector base. CO (and the BBC) just can’t get it through their heads that a VERY limited or non-existent base has no interest in anything from this last era. Or to be fairer perhaps, whoever was watching this last outgoing era apparently weren’t/aren’t collecting this sort or merchandise. So much wasted funding and plastic that could have been better suited to releases that enough parties would actually purchase. Hopefully the new incoming era ignites the collector’s market again all around.

      That niche market seems no where big enough for anything, with Funko, Titans etc all falling by the way at least for now. I notice no second geeki tiki wave either at SDCC.

      The USA market for the figurines was small as well. With everything costing more to produce and a lesser market all round i dont any company taking risks at the moment.

    So buy the Fourth Doctor set and get the 13th doctors friends for free.

    I can’t believe that such popular figures are being offered this cheaply.

  • Auton

    September 5th, 2022 - 1:13pm

    Almost as underwhelming of an announcement as the new PM

  • TimelordTim

    “Product offer” was always going to be something like this, I was thinking it would be a reduction on the remaining Silurians myself, but this makes sense too. Really trying to get rid of unsold stock but I reckon they’ll have plenty again when the 10th Doctor set sits around.

    I still have some hope for the future of CO with the occasional online exclusive, but the trend over the past couple years is worrying for the continuation of the B&M 3-pack range going forward (the Dalek sets will be fine though I reckon).

    I was really hoping for 6x Tenth Doctors as well…

  • Popplewick

    September 5th, 2022 - 12:51pm

    After the collapse of Eaglemoss this comes as a blow to fans who were expecting something good..Must admit I was half expecting a long over due yeti set or the misisng cybermen.

      Popplewick, your back. Is this the 1st time you’ve commented in months?

    • Popplewick

      September 5th, 2022 - 2:23pm

      Yes but I continue my busy presence over on facebook 😉 This news was so big a let down for so many people I just had to add my two pennyworth.

    If it doesnt say New product reveal in future, i,d take it with a pinch of salt.

  • pupbenny

    September 5th, 2022 - 12:45pm

    This deal is up right now btw for anyone that does want to get it…. just bought mine now. Although I’m disappointed massively, I don’t have either of the sets (though I never particularly wanted either of them tbh) so figured I might as well for a tenner lmao.

  • PJH1971

    September 5th, 2022 - 12:41pm

    LOL – they’ll be lucky to even give the companions of the 13th Doctor set away! Surprised at the Baker set though – was this overproduced?

    • booboo

      September 5th, 2022 - 12:43pm

      more than likely stock that was destined for the USA at one time

  • Tim Lord Victorious

    September 5th, 2022 - 12:35pm

    Oh well back to waiting for the new sets to come out

  • Whovian

    September 5th, 2022 - 12:33pm

    With my own jokes aside, I’m actually considering this, as I don’t own a Benton figure. Got all the 13 set, no interest in the 4th Doctor and other man though

    …Always nice to see my pessimism pay’s off yet again! Much hilarity ensues – Ho! Ho!

  • Popplewick

    September 5th, 2022 - 12:28pm

    Id have gladly paid that for the Sensorite and Voord sets even if i have already got them !

  • Popplewick

    September 5th, 2022 - 12:25pm

    3 awful nu Who characters I’ll never want….three classics Ive already got…and that’s the ‘big’ announcement ?

  • W holmes

    September 5th, 2022 - 12:23pm

    They are down to almost not being able go give them away!

    • Dave

      September 5th, 2022 - 12:36pm

      £5 postage brings them down to £2.50 each set so approx 85p a figure

    • Doctor Mysterio

      September 5th, 2022 - 1:01pm

      It is free postage.

    • John

      September 5th, 2022 - 1:30pm

      Mysterious, no such thing as free postage. Someone pays , in this case CO so Dave is correct assuming £5 postage that leaves £2.50 per set.

  • Tim M

    September 5th, 2022 - 12:22pm

    This really didn’t need any build up. Should have just been announced when the offer went straight online. Very underwhelming.

  • Anthony Fgan

    September 5th, 2022 - 12:18pm

    a full weekend of hype and anticipation all for nothing. As a business CO certainly know how to alienate its customer/fanbase…

    It’s not April 1st is it? What a joke! You could buy the Friends of the Thirteenth Doctor set for £3.00 a few months ago with mountains of stock left

      I was offering sets for cheaper than this on my eBay . So underwhelming it’s actually funny

  • James

    September 5th, 2022 - 12:14pm

    First of the two disappointment announcements today. Lol oh well.

    • Matt Y

      September 5th, 2022 - 12:16pm

      I know what you mean. 12.30’s announcement isn’t exactly filling me with joy.

    • Drwhofan12

      September 5th, 2022 - 12:16pm

      Is there another announcement today?

    • Nicholas

      September 5th, 2022 - 12:24pm

      drwhofan12 – new prime minister

    • Whovian

      September 5th, 2022 - 12:26pm

      Drwhofan12 the announcement of the UK’s next Thatcher….. I mean Prime Minister

    • The Outcast

      September 5th, 2022 - 12:48pm

      UK Prime Minister (Spoiler: Truss won).

    Oh…. 🙁

  • Whovian

    September 5th, 2022 - 12:12pm

    Thought April Fool’s day was in April, not September?

    Pros: Good for those that didn’t manage to get them first time round

    Cons: If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is

    Obviously an overstock of these figures, which they may end up doing in the future for the newest 8th and 10th Doctor figure sets

  • AxC

    They ‘avin a bubble?

  • Harry

    September 5th, 2022 - 12:11pm

    Huge disappointment

  • A

    September 5th, 2022 - 12:10pm

    Honestly, I think this is a pretty good deal. I’m sure many will have these sets already if they wanted them but £10 is a good deal for all 6. I do think it’s a little odd that it was deemed a very special product offer by Character, surely knowing that this would get people speculating about a new set. It’s hard to feel disappointed about this stuff as it is only action figures at the end of the day, but perhaps it would have been wise to just present the offer as it is.
