News Update
2 February 2008

Copyright, Secrecy and News

A lot of the recent news about upcoming figures has come from an article in the latest edition of Tomart Action Figure Digest (No. 162 2008).

The author visited the Designworks Windsor Ltd studios (the company that creates the sculpts for Character) and secured copyright for the publication of a number of images which either showed yet to be released figures or the outlines of blacked-out figures the identitiy of which could easily be guessed (including from the Series, Classic and Sarah Jane ranges). This site will not be showing these images which were secured by Tomart after much careful copyright negotiation on their part. But to be sure its a great issue, well worth the money and well worth supporting.

A lot more of the recent news has originated from Toy Fair 2008 in London. Character Options has, as usual, a large stand here with an incredible display of soon to be released figures on show for the press and trade buyers. The new ranges are tremendously exciting and the official release dates well worth the wait.

The good news is that 2008 is going to be an even bigger year for Doctor Who toys. Keep coming back for regular updates from doctorwhotoys.net, and thats 'official'.

• Doctor Who Air Freshener
  30 January 2008
  The new range of Air Freshener dashboard figures includes K-9, a limited edition Dalek Sec, Cyberman head, Gold Dalek and TARDIS Thanks PENG & Hoosier Whovian

Updated 27 January 2008
Martha in combat gear and boots will be released as a Series 3 figure as seen in Last of the Time Lords (2007). Expect a single carded Astrid with life ring accessory, a single carded Host and the anticipated Series 1 Rose original version but in neutral (standing upright) pose. A Series 3 Captain Jack figure should be out next month and will feature Jack Harkness in long coat with hand gun accessory (look out for an additional Jack variation).

Expect new versions of Cyberman with Mickey's gun accessory, Cassandra, The Doctor in suit, and a Series 2 The Doctor in Spacesuit with 'Beast Imprisonment Urns' (The Satan Pit, 2006). Also expected the wisened and aged Doctor from Series 3 Last of the Time Lords (2007). This un-regenerated Doctor figure will be half the standard 5" range size with an outsized head. The rumoured 'holographic' silver/black 9th Doctor will remain a prototype and is not for general release.

In the Series 1 range expect a Slitheen skin suit disguise in maleable plastic as used by the Slitheen in Aliens of London, 2005.

In the Classics range Doctors 4 through 8 will be revealed soon though there are no plans for their Companions. 10th Planet Cyberman and Zygon ready for release.

Sarah Jane Adventures Coming soon three new SJS twin packs featuring Sarah Jane in brown waistcoat, in red smock dress and in white coat with handbag, all with brown knee length boots. Each figure comes with a different creature; a pot-bellied Slitheen child, a red coated Kudlak and a reptile-like Graske dressed entirely in black.
