Toy Fair 2019 News – Updated

Items on display at the Character Options stand included:

  • 12th Doctors Sonic screwdriver
  • 13th Doctors Sonic Screwdriver
  • 13th Doctor 10” Doll figure
  • 13th Doctor 5.5” figure

All the above items are already available in shops.

Of most interest was a new 3 figure companion set! 5.5” scale.

The TARDIS companion set contains:

  • Graham
  • Ryan
  • Yaz

Although we’re not able to show you photographs at the moment, the sculpts looked excellent!

The figure set should be available mid year providing there is sufficient retailer interest.

The Thirteenth Doctors TARDIS is on hold at the moment. There may be more items to look out for much later in the year including some very exciting B&M sets.

Graham from “Arachnids In The UK”
Ryan and Yaz from “It Takes you Away”

Ryan’s coat will be closed so you only get to see the top of the blue shirt, Yaz’s hair will be in front like the top right screenshot.


After an absence of several years WOW stuff have a couple of new items (many more were planned but put back until later in the year or next year)

A sonic screwdriver with draw light (app required), This resin sonic is quite weighty with a good molten finish like the prop, all one piece. Similar in size to the seven20 version.

Also on offer is a virtual Tardis, Photograph it then fly it around on your phone, looks great fun!

Please note these are prototypes


Various already released Warlord Games items were on display on the Hornby stand and a few Pop’s on the Funko stand but nothing new.

    What fantastic news! Wasn’t expecting that! And because this is at toy fair, I take it this new set of figures is a general release item?

    I hope the tardis is included in the Graham, Tax and Ryan set. Maybe even an interior playset.

    Did Yaz have her space buns? Also, what parts of the figures were reused from others?

      yes she did, the head sculpts looked really good to me, with no ref photo cant say on the parts to be honest but if what we saw on the shelf ends up in production i really cant see how people could be disappointed for £25, i really didn’t expect to get the full Tradis crew at all if I’m honest.

    With b&m is there a chance we’re seeing new figures? Or perhaps unreleased figures? They seem to be saying this year will be really exciting. I personally hope there’s some series 10 figures they made that never made it to the market but I’m just wishful thinking. It really makes me eager to know what they’re planning this year though after last year’s success

      Im hoping we get a Nardole figure.

    • Tyler Prescott

      January 23rd, 2019 - 7:12am

      Very unlikely it’d be Nardole, as that’d use 100% new pieces. When they say ‘new’, it’s probably repaints to look like new characters, repaints, or unreleased figures with existing moulds they can use.

    I’m really glad that there’s going to be a companion 3 pack (just hoping for Nardole eventually).

    Also booboo could you tell if any of the companion figures had any reused parts on them and do they come with accessories?

    Maybe they will release them in early 2020 to coincide with the new series if sales of 13 and companions are strong?

      Ryan and Yaz look right from that episode. Graham looks more from Arachnids in the UK, he’s wearing the gloves and has a more patterned shirt that you can only see a bit of.

      It’s probably delayed due to the Production team not giving them images of the interior to use for the internal card or something like that.

    • booboo

      January 22nd, 2019 - 2:07pm

      Also no show this year

      We spoke to other manufactures that have put stuff on hold as well because of this

      Is there a sense that manufacturers and retailers may put out new products currently on hold towards the end of 2019 early 2020 to coincide with Series 12?

    • booboo

      January 22nd, 2019 - 4:55pm

      What do the BBC think they are playing at? If they want retailers to invest in the merchandise then make a series each year.
