* (It should be noted that the figures are not really 5" tall. This is in fact the height of the Dalek (who was produced first) and all other figures were scaled to match it.[http://doctorwhotoys.net/designworks3.htm].)
[[Character Options]] manufactured '''''Doctor Who'' action figures in the 5" scale''' which tied into the [[Series 1 (Doctor Who 2005)|2005 series]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', as well as the [[2005]] [[Christmas Special]] ''[[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)|The Christmas Invasion]]''.
* The series includes figures based on ''[[The Christmas Invasion]]'', which Character Options considers part of Series 1.  


==[[Auton]]==
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]
