Doctor Who 06690 Bill Potts Collector Figure
- Recreate scenes from Doctor Who
- Fully articulated
- Highly detailed
- 5.5 inch Scale
- For ages 5 years and over
Bill Potts wants her life to be about more than serving chips.
The cleverest person in the University canteen, but never a student, Bill lives with her Foster Mum Maria, and thinks exciting things happen to other people.
But when Bill makes a connection with Student Heather she soon finds herself dragged into a creepy and dangerous world that revolves around a mysterious and inexplicable puddle. There’s something wrong with her reflection…but what?
In searching for the answer, she discovers that the Lecturer who’s taken her under his wing is actually a time travelling alien who’s about to take her on the trip of a lifetime to get to the truth.

January 23rd, 2018 - 8:20pmBooboo, when do you think B&M sets will come out and what would you like to see in them this year?
The Outcast
January 24th, 2018 - 2:14amI’m not Booboo, but if I remember correctly, they always come out at about June/July time.

January 24th, 2018 - 12:48pmyes assuming they take more sets, I hope they do
Anonymous
January 26th, 2018 - 7:54amI do like the B&M sets. Unfortunately, my Master figure’s coat was ripped down the side and my Leela’s hand was uneven at the top (it looked like it had been ripped away from whatever it was stuck to prior to being attached to my figure). Is anyone else having these problems?
Jordie55555
January 20th, 2018 - 11:32pmBooboo do you know exactly when this line will come out? Also just wondering if b and m will do more sets this year, as I always look forward to them
booboo
January 21st, 2018 - 8:53amdrawing a complete blank on any info on the Bill figure, I suspect it was caught up in the UT demise so may struggle to get released now unless someone takes it on as an exclusive or is part of a future range.

January 14th, 2018 - 9:39pmHey guys. I know a figure we all need. Not want, need. The Kandy Man! Wasn’t he great?
Dominic Kane
January 14th, 2018 - 10:53pmThey can’t, because of copyright of that Bertie Bassett character.
Anonymous
January 15th, 2018 - 5:02pmIf they did get around the copyright problems and did end up making the Kandy Man, I would buy it.

January 14th, 2018 - 12:14amIs the flag a accessory.

January 14th, 2018 - 2:26amNo, it looks to be something Pearl made.

January 8th, 2018 - 4:10amIt’s nice to see they’re at least planning on releasing a Bill figure. I’ve honestly given up hope of seeing any new monster figures, but it would be nice to at least have the Thirteenth Doctor and Nardole in toy form.
Anonymous
January 4th, 2018 - 6:51pmIs there any chance of an emojibot figure being available as an accessory with this, as it would be quite small, and would not neccessarily need articulation (I know the head, arms and legs could move but only slightly. It would not be escential) they could even include two, one smiling and one with a skull face.
Bruno B
January 4th, 2018 - 7:49pmI think we’ll be lucky if we just get the figure 😉

The Outcast
January 6th, 2018 - 12:55pmI don’t know about the Emoji Bot. Maybe, seeing as some figures (the Slitheen, Captain Jack, Magnus Greel) did come with other, smaller figures (Space Pig, Empty Child and Mr Sin), so it’s possible. It would be really nice Bill came with an Emoji bot. Maybe they could have the face as a card insert which you can pull out and flip over to show a different expression.

January 6th, 2018 - 2:48pmIt might be released in parts you have to collect like K1, the Gelth and Vespiform.

January 8th, 2018 - 4:21pmThat would be cool
Anonymous
January 2nd, 2018 - 10:19amSo so so excited for this figure! Hope this is just the prototype as i think it should have swappable arms and a jacket like the Ace figure.
Anonymous
January 3rd, 2018 - 11:31amI agree, that would be cool!

January 1st, 2018 - 10:50pmDoes anyone know why the Yeti figure was cancelled?
The Outcast
January 2nd, 2018 - 4:32amI’ve heard licensing issues, but that is just what I’ve heard.
booboo
January 2nd, 2018 - 8:10amat the time it was said the licence holders were annoyed by the leaked imaged as they hadn’t been consulted and refused permission for it to be released
it was then said much later that it wasn’t cost effective to produce
I doubt we will ever know the actual truth
Brian Artillery
January 13th, 2018 - 8:04pmThe Yeti’s creator, Henry Lincoln really hates his ideas being used by other people. That’s why the Yeti have never been used since the 1960’s, and why you’ll never see The Dominators or their Quark robots again. He just won’t allow their use. I expect the same happened with the Yeti figure. Oh, that would be cool. I’d definitely have bought four or five of them.
Anonymous
January 1st, 2018 - 2:59amHonestly thought for a second that this came with a pride flag accessory for some reason. Was very confused for a minute there, trying to figure out when she had it *: )
Demdike@CultLabs
December 29th, 2017 - 10:58amWouldn’t surprise me if Character didn’t just give Pearl the prototype and that’s that.
booboo
December 29th, 2017 - 11:01ameven that’s possible
WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby?
December 29th, 2017 - 12:01pmWell she said in the tweet #watchthisspace which makes me think we’ll definitely see this figure as part of a wave. The question is when we’ll see any proof, Toy Fair in January seems likely and if it is part of a wave what the other figures are.
whovian
December 29th, 2017 - 9:00amJust gotta have this figure. The only critique I have is that it would look better wearing Bill’s jacket, and the top looks painted on instead of being moulded on, although that could just be the way I’m looking at it. Just hope that this figure doesn’t go the way of the 12th Doctors TARDIS and Clara Oswald. That being they’re ridiculously overpriced
booboo
December 29th, 2017 - 9:08amstill not convinced that is the final figure to be honest. In look yes.
James
January 8th, 2018 - 4:23pmThey could do what they did with ace where you can take the arms off and put a jacket on and put the jacket arms on
Anonymous
December 28th, 2017 - 11:18pmThis is a great figure and it the picture sums up her charcter in series 10.
POTD
December 28th, 2017 - 6:09pmGood to see a figure of Bill, but awkward to release it
a) after Pearl/Bill has left the show
b) after Christmas
With the absence of the smaller figures, it does feel that they’ve completely abdicated the children’s market for the time being
The Werewolf
December 28th, 2017 - 7:03pmThat’s because children/parents don’t buy toys as often anymore. Why do you think Toys R Us aren’t doing so well these days?

December 28th, 2017 - 8:03pmSad really
Bundy
December 29th, 2017 - 12:04amAwkward timing indeed – a gate and a bolting horse come to mind. Surely the optimum time to release a figure is whilst the character is still current and the show is still on the air. Other than for the ardent collector, who did ‘Ten in a Tux’ appeal to in the midst of the PC era? No wonder stockists are proving a problem when they are being offered a figure of a character no longer in a series that is off the air for the next few months. B&M get away with it because they offer a 3 pack at a price not much different to what I expect will be the asking price for this single figure.
It is a great likeness, but I worry it may be too little too late to re-engage retailers and failing to get interest could possibly even be detrimental to future attempts to launch merchandise to tie in with the new series.
booboo
December 29th, 2017 - 8:24amI think the problem here is that with no USA distributor and a huge market on hold and with the toys r us situation there simply wasn’t enough people to sell it to.
As far as I can tell this prototype is well over 8 months old and i’m sure they intended it to be on sale by now but something has changed that.
James Evans
December 28th, 2017 - 3:21pmBooboo do you think they will release an updated original Mondasian Cyberman?
booboo
December 28th, 2017 - 3:44pmi doubt they would go to the expense of all new tooling to be honest
Anonymous
December 28th, 2017 - 5:19pmWhat’s to update on it anyway?
7thWhoKnots
December 28th, 2017 - 5:33pmThe only things they could keep would be the arms and legs from the 10th planet Cybermen, the torso and head piece would need to be altered
Judooning
December 28th, 2017 - 3:14pmA wave of figures I would like to see that mixes new, re-issue and tweaked figures:
1. Twelfth Doctor – Red Coat
2. Bill Potts – Smile
3. Nardole
4. Missy – Series 10
5. The Master – Series 10
6. Mondasian Cyberman
Regeneration Set:
1. Twelfth Doctor – Xmas 2017 (Battered/wounded)
2. Twelfth Doctor – Regenerated
Flight Control TARDIS sets:
1. Twelfth Doctor – Xmas 2017 with TARDIS
2. First Doctor with TARDIS
These releases could take us up to September/October until the new series starts.
Judooning
December 28th, 2017 - 3:16pmNumber 2 on the Regeneration set should have been “Thirteenth Doctor”. Need to get in to the habit of saying that lol.
Antonio
December 27th, 2017 - 9:51pmOnly thing with this realise I’m guessing this will be only fp release again ? Due to toys rus problems next year of store closers ?
booboo
December 28th, 2017 - 8:41amwe dont really know
If seven20 now the dust has settled are back to funding figures with CO then perhaps it will back to how it was for the collectors series at least
i still think CO will be looking at some sort of mass market “toy range” to co-inside with Jodie’s arrival and to get their products back in Argos and on supermarket shelves etc
Antonio
December 28th, 2017 - 8:55pmHopefully Argos or supermarkets do it is badly strange when I grew up with it then stopped completely
EndlessTimelord
December 27th, 2017 - 8:24pmGreat news! Booboo if this were to come with a wave of Series 10 figures which other ones do you think we’d get?
Jordie55555
December 27th, 2017 - 10:52pmProbably the doctor and nardole, maybe the master and the monks and hopefully the 2013 cybermen
David
December 27th, 2017 - 7:17pmTo be honest I’ve no interest in New Series figures anymore.
I just want Classic.
STILL waiting for the classic console they made a prototype of many years ago…
booboo
December 27th, 2017 - 8:04pmthat wasn’t Character (it was product enterprise/sixteen12) and it never got made because of a total lack of pre orders
Kal1221
December 27th, 2017 - 4:35pmLooking forward to this! And I’m totally cool with the reused Abby parts. Marvel Legends do it all the time to get more characters out. Hope Bill comes with some fun accessories 😀
Dominic Kane
December 27th, 2017 - 8:34pmBeen as Bill’s figure is based on Smile, I hope they have a phone and mood patch accessorise. 😀
Anonymous
December 27th, 2017 - 4:07pmI’m not too bothered about the companions. I only want the villains and monsters.
The Outcast
December 27th, 2017 - 12:36pmWell, seeing as everyone else is doing ideal wave of figure threads here is mine:
Bill (definately happening, as we’ve got an image of a prototype above (thanks Pearl!))
The 12th Doctor
The 13th Doctor (regenerated)
The Master (Series 10, with swap-able Razor head)
2013 – 2017 Cyberman
Ice Warrior (NuWho)
Sets (well, set as there is only the one)
Christmas Special set:
The First Doctor (David Bradley)
Mondasian Cyberman (2017 version)
TARDIS (4th Doctor and TARDIS repaint with new lamp)
I tried not to go too unrealistic, going for very big and important characters and figures which CO have the scans for or can be made by tweaking pre-existing figure. As well as this, I limited myself to 6 figures in the wave, because I think 6 or 7 figures are usually as many as there are in a wave (if I had decided to go for 7 figures in a wave, I would have put Nardole as figure NO. 7).
The Christmas Special set is unlikely to happen, but I think it might be somewhat do able.
Doctorfan
December 27th, 2017 - 1:32pmthere is going to be a first doctor david bradley figure next year so a christmas set could work.
booboo
December 27th, 2017 - 1:39pmthe only one that’s been mentioned is from the figurine collection
sam
December 27th, 2017 - 3:16pmI just want a cyberman, they’re the best monster in my opinion and the current design has really grown on me (a patient cyberman would be great too!) 🙂
Anonymous
December 27th, 2017 - 6:24pmI’d love to see one from the patient Cybermen as well as an Ice Warrior.
TigerMan1995
December 27th, 2017 - 9:54pmI’d like to see the TARDIS!

December 27th, 2017 - 12:25pmGlad we finally have a figure to look at, hopefully it will go on general release very soon
Dalek
December 27th, 2017 - 11:08amReally wish this was of an interesting or character, like the master or a Cyberman, rather than Bill. Will probably get because completionist, but for the first new figure in over a year I wish it was someone/thing good
booboo
December 27th, 2017 - 12:30pmto be fair she won the most wanted figure poll by a mile
The Outcast
December 27th, 2017 - 12:40pmI’d love to get both of the figures you mentioned and I hope we get them along side this lovely Bill figure.
Dominic Kane
December 27th, 2017 - 3:08pmBill was/is great! Pearl Mackie is a great actress and a lovely person (as is Bill). Bill and Nardole deserved 2 series.
TheAgeOfUltron
December 27th, 2017 - 9:37amJust hopefully they do Nardole aswell as if there isn’t a future wave, at least these two will be made.
Ginger Winger
December 27th, 2017 - 9:35am5.5 inch Figures I want…
Bill (Obviously)
12th Doctor (The Lie of the Land)
Nardole
S10 Missy
S10 The Master
Heather
Emoji Bot
3 Pack: William Hartnell, Richard Hurndall and David Bradley’s three versions of the 1st Doctor
DannyTheNerd
December 27th, 2017 - 9:33amWhat I find most bizzarre, is character still have made no comment on the figure being made. If Pearl hadn’t mentioned it, we wouldn’t even know there was one being made. And yet, even after Pearl has posted a picture of the figure, they still haven’t made any comment about it. You’d think they would release it whilst series 10 was on air, not wait until Bill has left the show.
booboo
December 27th, 2017 - 9:47amwell perhaps there was no one to sell it to and it was put on hold (UT split, toys r us situation etc etc etc)
And- we dont know if Pearl should have actually shown it to be honest , Character tend only show stuff when its done and dusted and on its way and available for retailers to put up for order
Omega63
December 27th, 2017 - 10:05amI think COs social media and customer service is just awful. They literally don’t exploit them services at all to help communicate with fans, and even advertise their own damn products…
booboo
December 27th, 2017 - 10:13amthey did try in many ways and got a load of abuse directed at them so i dont blame them for staying well clear.
they have a PR company that issues press releases when items are actually going to be available
and we dont know if Pearly should actually have shown this figure yet either.
Dalek4ever
December 27th, 2017 - 9:00amHopefully this starts of a new wave of figures. Personally I’d like
12th Doctor (Smile)
Nardole (Oxygen)
Missy (World Enough And Time & The Doctor Falls)
Dalek (Re release)
2013 Cyberman
Updated Mondasian Cyberman
Ice Warrior
Iraxa
Emoji Bot set (Happy, Angry, Curious)
Truth Monk
Sets
12th Doctor Regeneration Set (12th Doctor Twice Upon A Time battered costume with swappable chest plate and head)
Master & Razor set (Two figures, Swappable heads)

booboo
December 27th, 2017 - 8:21amif you mean the one for £33.99 plus post its shipped form the USA so you might get £16 worth on charges on top if it gets picked up at customs if you are in the UK?
it might not but its a risk
