Character Building The Girl Who Waited Mini Set
The Doctor takes Amy and Rory to visit Apalapucia, not realising that the planet has been struck by a plague deadly to Timelords.
When he and Rory are separated from Amy and stuck in separate timestreams, the Doctor must stay in the safety of the TARDIS – both he and Amy relying on Rory to save her.
In a new timestream, Rory meets Old Amy, hardened by the time she’s been waiting to be rescued.
When the Doctor finds a way to save Amy, at Old Amy’s expense, she refuses to help – until she remembers her love for Rory and the connection they shared.
Highly detailed, double sided Character Building Doctor Who construction playset featuring sliding door and Handbot micro-figure. For ages 5 years and over.

August 19th, 2012 - 4:34pmDoes anyone who has a collection on this site actually own one of these playsets?

August 19th, 2012 - 4:35pm(I don’t have one!)

@SirRoundSound
August 20th, 2012 - 2:56amYes, there is one in some of my pics 🙂 Bottom shelf, left facing display unit 🙂
Radburn
August 20th, 2012 - 7:52amYes – The best of the current 3 released!
The Driver
August 18th, 2012 - 10:56pmThey could do an Argos exclusive handbot army builder pack. It could come with 4 handbots and a rorybot, how cool would that be? Maybe some of the handbots could come with accessories.
MadGuyInATARDIS
August 18th, 2012 - 10:58pmA open headed one would be cool!
Esterath
August 18th, 2012 - 11:00pmOooohh, I can seeeeeee it! It is written in the starssssss!!! AAaaaaaahhhh! Yes! Oh, yes!!! Hmm cough sorry.
The Driver
August 18th, 2012 - 11:02pmThat’d be cool! But, how would they make the head though so it looks open? They would have to make it like the Argos pandorica cyberman. Don’t you think?
The Driver
August 18th, 2012 - 11:04pmAre you talking about the open headed one esterath?
Esterath
August 18th, 2012 - 11:05pmYes.
The Driver
August 18th, 2012 - 11:08pmYeah, coming to think about it, I can imagine this handbot army pack. It’s because I’m getting the silent army so if you can picture that, then you can just get a mental image up and just imagine handbots.
The12thDoctor
August 18th, 2012 - 11:24pmthat could work and maybe add the older amy with katana
The Driver
August 19th, 2012 - 4:30pmCool! They’d have to have that in place of one of the handbots though. Hmmmm… Let’s see what they’d have to have:
Handbot x2
Open headed handbot x1
Old Amy x1
Rorybot x1
The Driver
August 19th, 2012 - 8:30pmI wish there was a vote where you could vote on the army builder packs you want to see in future. That’d be cool.
Bigger on the Inside
August 12th, 2012 - 9:01pmCan I ask when both sides are straight is the door half closed? this happened to me so I swapped the whitebait so the longer wall was on the other side and now it is much better!
dr tyler
August 7th, 2012 - 10:36pmi think im going to drop dead if i ever get this set it looks so cool wish it was bigger though and with the older amy and rory bot 🙄
The Driver
August 18th, 2012 - 10:57pmWhen they do another handbot figure, perhaps you could draw the face for rorybot.
The Driver
August 19th, 2012 - 8:28pmSame, I think it could be a bit bigger. Shame about its size but never mind though.
@SirRoundSound
August 7th, 2012 - 5:25pmJust got my one, and I have to say this is one amazing value for money, really nice on display when it is put into two parts, and the Handbot figure is just a nice bonus, especially when you have a packing error and receive two! But I’m not complaining!
The Driver
August 19th, 2012 - 4:32pmWhat, you got two or something? Thats a bonus if you did!
TheMadManWithABox1
August 6th, 2012 - 4:48pmDid they have this at the dr who experience?

DrWhoFan1
August 5th, 2012 - 11:07amI might get it from eBay in a minute but I’m not sure if I should get it? If anybody has The Girl Who Waited set, could you tell me if it’s worth the money or not, and what features the set got, Thanks! 🙂
booboo
August 5th, 2012 - 11:11amdefinitely the best set of the 3 value wise, its basically 2 halves when slide against each other to open close – and you get a handbot
DrWhoFan1

MadGuyInATARDIS

August 2nd, 2012 - 11:36pmthey said they cant due to the fact that character options do not have the legal documents to make SJA Character Building

GreenAnchorRedWaterfall
July 31st, 2012 - 5:15pmDear GreenAnchorRedWaterfall,
Thank you for your email.
Unfortunately due to current stock levels of wave 2 figures we will not be introducing wave 3 until early next year.
Information and images will be released nearer the time.
I hope this fully answers your query.
Regards,
Gemma Morris

What I got when I asked Character about why the figures were so late!
PLUS…
Today I was taken to Newcastle, I asked to go to Forbidden Planet, and Oh my God, that is the most amazing shop ever!
I had £20 pocket (continued)
GreenAnchorRedWaterfall
July 31st, 2012 - 5:16pmmoney, so I got the Cybermat and the TARDIS mug with St John Ambulance on it and the famous TARDIS white sign! It was amazing!
GreenAnchorRedWaterfall

July 30th, 2012 - 7:50pmHey booboo! The magnifying glass, is it a sticker of Amy and what is on the other side? Please answer!
VworpVworp
booboo
July 30th, 2012 - 8:08pmyes its a sticker and Rory is on the other side
Give me a Dalek any day
July 30th, 2012 - 8:10pmIs he wearing the glasses?
VworpVworp
July 30th, 2012 - 8:21pmBrilliant I was hoping Rory would be on the other side of it! And yes is he wearing glasses? I doubt it though as Amy is in her series 2 costume.
Sebatron
July 31st, 2012 - 10:20amCool I will defiantly get this now
Doctorpond393
July 31st, 2012 - 4:50pmBoo boo could you put up a picture of the Rory picture on the magnifying glass please
booboo
July 31st, 2012 - 5:04pmits just the CB figure like Amy
Doctorpond393
July 31st, 2012 - 4:53pmAlso can the magnifying glass be connected to the tardis?
VworpVworp
July 31st, 2012 - 5:56pmI’ll draw glasses on Rory lol! And then if I get a hand bot when series 3 comes out I’ll pull of the hands and draw a face on it for rory bot!
BOOBOO JR
July 30th, 2012 - 10:12amAs I didn’t want to pay £4.99 on delivery, I emailed Character to see if they’re free delivery on orders over £25 offer would be back. I also asked why there hasnt been much DW stuff out this year. They replied:
Dear Booboo Jr,
I daresay that the free postage on orders over a certain amount will be introduced again soon. This was a management decision and will be reviewed again.
There is not a great deal of Dr. Who products this year as the products tend to reflect the TV series, but thank you for your feedback.
Regards,
Diane Thompson.
Give me a Dalek any day
July 30th, 2012 - 10:41amThat’s a bit of a poor excuse for not having a lot of Doctor Who stuff. There’s a lot they could’ve done from Series 6: Part 2 and The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe which would’ve “reflected the TV series” in the wait for Series 7, but what do we end up with? Corroded Cybermen with a bunch of silly electric hands. I hope CO can produce some good stuff for the 50th Anniversary. The talking Daleks are promising, so this could be a sign of finally getting back on track. 😀
VworpVworp
July 30th, 2012 - 7:57pmBeing honest I’m more outraged at the fact she didn’t even give you ‘kinf regards’.
No I joke… yeah it’s ridiculous the excuses these people make!
Dr who who
August 1st, 2012 - 11:28pmBeing honest these dalek talking figures were probly designed and where made ages ago as they were at the toy fair, the only new descent things out this year are the new character building figure and yet again they were delayed and there are now decent figure the co have made since October. The silence and cybermen wave with electric hands dont count as decent figures as they have small difference change to good figures that had been brought out earlier in the year. I really hope co gets some reay good figures out atleast by Christmas.

King Ninja
July 28th, 2012 - 1:56pmLove how this micro toy company thing is producing figures of the characters us fans were dying for- shame that the main range of Dr Who 5″ figures has tons of characters to catch up on! Rory? Handbot? You know we love you but-Get on with it!!! How long must we wait??? People have been asking for Rory for what seems like millions of years!!!
duckter who
July 28th, 2012 - 11:07amRory bot- rip hands off and get a child to draw a smiley face on it.Job done!
Sebatron
July 29th, 2012 - 8:49amI might just do that!
BOB
July 27th, 2012 - 11:32pmShould of made a old Amy as well although its a great set and a question when you slide it so green anchor is on the door does that piece just stick out with red waterfall on it because it looks really odd
BOB
July 29th, 2012 - 12:17pmCan someone reply please 🙂
booboo
July 29th, 2012 - 12:20pmyes it does, its actually the whole back half that slides
The SherlockianWhovian
July 27th, 2012 - 7:43pmbooboo, what is on the other side of the magnifying glass? Because I’m hoping it’s not Amy on both sides… not that it’ll make a difference cause I’m getting it anyway!
BOOBOO JR
July 27th, 2012 - 3:45pmWill you be adding the Handbot Micro-Figure and the new Mini-Sets to the CB Collectors List?
booboo

BOOBOO JR
July 27th, 2012 - 3:47pmOk, thanks 😀
Radburn
July 27th, 2012 - 3:44pmI presume so? FP have just emailed me telling me they have sent out my 3 sets.
The12thDoctor
July 27th, 2012 - 3:10pmI would want a handbot that’d be great! I’ll even make that Rory Handbot
The Driver
July 27th, 2012 - 2:11pmOh wicked! I so want the handbot figure that comes with it! We’ll just have to hope that it comes in the series 3 range next year!!!
GreenAnchorRedWaterfall
July 27th, 2012 - 7:25pmIt probably will, but there has been so much delay with these figures that I might give up hope for these soon. :angry:
GreenAnchorRedWaterfall
July 27th, 2012 - 7:27pmMeant 😡 , not :angry: . That one doesn’t exist. 😆
