Well, this was unexpected! Tonight a press release went out detailing a new range of figures hitting B&M stores from March 4th (which is tomorrow as I type). This is all very sudden, but so very welcome!
While three of the four sets (the Doctor/ Dalek sets) are variants on those we saw last year, we will be treated to a brand new set of the Third Doctor and TARDIS from 'The Monster Of Peladon'. All sets will retail at £19.99. Below is the press release along with all the variations between these and last years sets.
Character Options is proud to announce the next batch of products to be released as part of its Doctor Who master toy line up, with four new sets going on sale in B&M on March 4th, 2020.
'The Monster Of Peladon' Collector Set
This set features an exclusive figure of The Third Doctor in his splendid dark bottle green jacket with grey lapels, combined with a dark blue tie, a lime coloured shirt with dark edging and dark grey/ brown trousers. The light blue TARDIS comes with standard opening doors and signage, a black phone door and the newer low-profile base. Perfect for all Doctor Who fans and collectors, the set comes beautifully presented in Classic Style Doctor Who heritage packaging with diarama card insert.
Next, we have the three Doctor/ Dalek sets. These are variants on last years sets and feature some changes to the existing figures.
The Eighth Doctor & Dalek Interrogator Prime
The Eighth Doctor & Dalek Interrogator Prime Figure Set is based on the Big Finish Doctor Who audiobook - In The Garden Of Death. The Eighth Doctor figure is presented in a revised dark blue, heavy wash jacket with antique bronze buttons, dark grey jeans and brown boots. His nemesis, the Dalek Interrogator figure, features a blue tinged dome, slats and hemispheres plus a brighter blue casing.
The War Doctor & Dalek Scientist
The War Doctor & Dalek Scientist Figure Set is based on the Big Finish Doctor Who audiobook - A Thing Of Guile. Complete with all new War Doctor figure with black weathered jacket, red waistcoat, darker hair colour and recoloured spats. The set also includes the Dalek Scientist which features new paint decoration including a Pewter blue dome and hemispheres.
The Seventh Doctor & Axis Strike Squad Dalek
The Seventh Doctor & Axis Strike Squad Dalek is based on the Big Finish Doctor Who audiobook - Gallifrey VI. Featuring an all new version of The Seventh Doctor figure with a darker jacket and hat plus an Axis Strike Squad Dalek figure with silver rather than gold slats and waist band.
Personally, I think these new figures look great (particularly the Third Doctor, TARDIS and War Doctor) and I can't wait to pick them up and hopefully review them! Last year's sets were pretty easy to find so I only hope that these will follow suit when i'm hunting them down, hopefully, this weekend.
