The wee figurine of him a few years back is probably all we will ever get.

However there was also a post about 'insider gossip' that says the line isn't confirmed and the figures aren't definite for production. I would find it very amusing if Character Options were able to get Doctor Who figures onto the shelves at the same time as the TV series airing - this would be a feat the likes of which companies such as Hasbro and Mattel have absolutely failed at in recent years... |

Character have posted an apology on FB for their website melting down yesterday and that there is plenty of stock. -Ralph Unsure if I bought one. Used Paypal. Amount came off my bank account but the CB website didn't update to show a purchase, still showing item in cart. Paypal site says 'pending' and no receipt. Er. Um. Folk were reporting this problem on Monday. Guess the site isn't fixed yet. Do I have a Fugitive Doctor with free TARDIS? Unknown at this time! -Ralph |

I would say not, contact them. I bought one after you mentioned it on here and mine was dispatched yesterday.

I've seen some folk say some pending paypal payments were later confirmed many hours later. I'll leave it for today and contact Customer Services in the morning if no confirmation received.
Buying toys should not be stressful!
I must have Doctor Ruth!

Tension mounts. Has Ralph got one, two or no Doctor Ruths? The orders section on the Character website does not work.
In other news, patience is a virtue. History of the Daleks 13 and 14 dropped to RRP from an Ebay seller so pounced.

Imagine my surprise in B&M today to find a wall of History of the Daleks #15 and #16/17! I had given up hope of seeing them. Even better: £17 a pop! Result! Still no sign of 6th Doc TARDIS. I fear Ebay scalper prices await.  -Ralph |

They also suddenly had piles in of the Deadly Assasin 3-pack for £17. Red hazed.

Set 15, the Remembrance one, is the only set I don't have yet. It's still over £30 on eBay with postage and never appeared down here. If you happen to be in that B&M again I'd be much obliged if you could nab one and I'll reimburse you.

The run of good luck continues! A Scottish agent found a source of 6th Doctor TARDIS sets!!!!
Now all I need is Character to let me know if I have a Doctor Ruth and it has been an unexpectedly splendid few days.

No problem. When you can, there's no rush. Knowing the set is secured is enough. That's B&M 2023 ticked off.
I note that the Fugitive Doctor set is in 60th anniversary packaging. Lot of effort to redo the dress for one release. I wonder if more are to come. I also note it has plastic windows where the B&M packaging doesn't.

The pile of #15's had been eaten into a tad since yesterday. The #16/17's hadn't been touched. The new series stuff doesn't seem to sell so well. The 2022 Ninth/Rose set is still in my B&M. There are a lot of new series Daleks to get through and it wouldn't surprise me if B&M give up with Who before it gets up to date. |

HOD #13 and #14 arrived cheap from ebay. Hit by strong smoke smell when opening the parcel. I think the packs will be opened swiftly to air the figures. I am not happy. The boxes stink!!! I've had to open the window. -Ralph |
