Because this was the first in the [[21st century]] line of action figures, it set the standard for those that followed. For instance, most figures are not really five inches tall. The [[Dalek]] is 5" tall and all other figures scaled to match the Dalek's height.<ref>[http://doctorwhotoys.net/designworks3.htm Scale notes from doctorwhotoys.net]</ref>

Character Options manufactured Doctor Who action figures in the 5" scale which tied into the 2005 series of Doctor Who, as well as the 2005 Christmas Special The Christmas Invasion.

Because this was the first in the 21st century line of action figures, it set the standard for those that followed. For instance, most figures are not really five inches tall. The Dalek is 5" tall and all other figures scaled to match the Dalek's height.[1]

Regular character figures[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Doctor[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • A figure of the Ninth Doctor as depicted throughout the first series.
  • There are two different sculpts of this figure, one with a very dynamic pose but minimal articulation and another in a more neutral pose with more articulation.
  • At different times Ninth Doctor figures have been made available with either green or burgundy shirts. The figure packaged with Auton parts has a burgundy shirt.
  • The increased articulation version was available with sonic screwdriver or with plastic bomb, Auton arm and duplicate Mickey's head.
  • The Ninth Doctor was also available in a two pack with the Tenth Doctor in the same outfit.
  • A figure of the Tenth Doctor still wearing the clothes of the Ninth.

  • Rose was one of the first figures released as part of a Radio Control Dalek battle pack.
  • She was later available carded with either K9 or two robotic spiders (as seen in The End of the World).
  • This figure has lower levels of articulation than was typical for this line.

Captain Jack Harkness[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • Several versions of Captain Jack Harkness have been released. One is in RAF uniform, packaged with either a removable cap or with Empty Child and Squareness Gun, as seen in The Empty Child.
  • Another version of Jack was available. This featured a non-removable overcoat and revolver.

Other figures[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • Several versions of the basic Dalek as seen in Dalek and elsewhere have been released. The basic Dalek body features rolling wheels, turning head, elevating and detachable eyestalk and arms that are ball jointed and detachable. A version was available with Genetic Print and another with Mutant Reveal.
  • The Assault Dalek had a combination claw/welding torch manipulator arm as seen in The Parting of the Ways. The figure features rolling wheels, turning head, elevating eyestalk and ball jointed arms. The eyestalk and arms are removable to be compatible with the Genesis Ark playset.
