Character Building The Doctor in Berlin Mini Set

Summoned back to Leadworth by Amy and Rory, the Doctor is introduced to Mels, their childhood best friend. When Mels suggests a trip to the Third Reich, the TARDIS crashes, inadvertently saving the life of Adolf Hitler.

For also in Berlin in 1938 is a mysterious Justice Department Teselecta ship, on a mission to punish the war criminals of the past – and they’ve just discovered they’ve bigger fish to fry than Hitler on this mission…

The-Doctor-in-Berlin750

After Mels is shot by Hitler, the truth of her identity is revealed as she starts to regenerate…this time into the woman we know as River Song.

But will Melody recognise herself or will she continue on with her mission to kill the Doctor? And how much will the Doctor find out about his future in the meantime?

Highly detailed Character Building Doctor Who construction playset featuring 2 micro-figures; Amy Pond and Rory Williams. For ages 5 years and over.

    I think they should’ve done a pandorica set instead of this Figures would be 11th doctor with Fez and mop and his sonic and stone dalek

    Well this doesn’t look like the Third Reich, let alone any historical set. And more Amy and Rory CB’s. 🙄 Oh well at least the motorbikes are cool.

      im not saying its rubbish because it is an alright set but they could have done a different amy from the episode not from night terrors and they could have eather done mels, german solder, teselecter or hitler to go in the set

    I am very disappointed with this, I proffered the one at the toy fair with the big White building and I like the german soldier / Teselector. This is very dissaponting as I was looking forward to this set.

      cant help thinking this would sell a lot better with a German guard instead of yet another Amy

    • Radburn

      July 17th, 2012 - 4:21pm

      Yes, as it was originally pictured at the Toy Fair. The design has lost the Outside Building Front, the guard & the 2 casings. Obviously only a mock-up but never mind!

      Or at the very least they could have included the Amy and Rory from this story.

      hmmm…. i agree with anonymous…well atleast a rory from the story and the soldier would be nice but i would definetly get this set for those parts and those bikes 🙂 also how come in the 1st pic (the one below the box) its the old amy figure? (well the old clothes)

    The only thing this is good for is creating a bit of scenery for the HM Armed Forces Army Guardsman figure.

    I think I will only be buying one of this set. Its not designed very well, figs are old and most CB fans will have them already. ok the bikes and barrels are new, but thats not what WE want. looks like Character options don’t have the right people designing/testing these sets.

    What?? NO! NO! NO! Surely they should have put Amy from Let’s Kill Hitler in instead. And what about the Doctor? This is called THE DOCTOR in Berlin mini set. It’s a bit odd they didn’t include him.
    Think I’ll wait till this set goes down in price. 🙂

    Does anyone know the email for CB? (I would use characters but I dont know what it is and I can’t put my phone number in as that is what you have to do on their site) as I designed series4 of these for fun when I was off sick, but I think they are actually really good and want to send it to them even though they won’t reply I have mels, rorybot, idris, peg dolls and loads more!

    Anyway of you know the email could you let me know!

    • Bigger on the Inside

      July 17th, 2012 - 6:45pm

      I know I may be annoying, but I was wondering are you going to add them to the user collection page? I’m not trying to rush you, I’m not bothered if you don’t put them up.

    • Bigger on the Inside

      July 18th, 2012 - 10:01pm

      I was wondering what people thought of them as th wether to send them to character or not, do you think I should booboo, as I don’t think they will make them but it may show that people want the new figures and if others email they may bring out series 3 sooner…

    Looks like quite a boring set really. I think it should have had a Mels figure in it, or at least a Nazi soldier. And it seems weird that a set called The Doctor In Berlin doesn’t have a Doctor in it.

    Would have been better to come with River song in her Mels clothing. Wouldn’t of been hard for them to do.

    I don’t normally critisize merchandise, but this really doesn’t seem all that good.

      July 16th, 2012 - 12:58pm

      I’m actually quite disappointed to be honest that we have only one new figure (albeit a very welcome one) between 3 sets here

    • Judooning

      July 16th, 2012 - 1:20pm

      Yeah. I mean we could of had some varient Amy/Doctor’s with the other 2 sets. It wouldn’t be hard for them to do.

      I’ve stopped collecting the CB range now because the blind bag way of selling the figures puts me off so much.
      I can’t stand paying the money and then opening the packet to find out i already have the figure. Plus i’ve started collecting the Titan busts which are £50 a pop and i’m still getting the 5″ figures, so i can’t afford these.

      But some of the sets do look very nice! Just not this one.

    Think I am going to pass on this set, nothing screams out “wow!” to me, if it came with a new figure of something I would maybe consider it, but since not, Is an easy pass!
