In [[2008]], [[Character Options]] began releasing action figures of characters from the classic Doctor Who series.  
{{Update|This article needs figures released late 2011 and 2012.}}
<br />
{{real world}}
The initial assortment contained three former incarnations of the doctor and a number of creatures and robots with a focus on the [[Fourth Doctor]] era. Another feature of this line was the inclusion of parts of a build a figure in each toy (namely the K1 Robot and an early Cyber Controller).
In [[2008 (releases)|2008]], [[Character Options]] began releasing '''action figures of characters from the classic ''[[Doctor Who]]'' series in the 5" scale'''. As was customary for Character Options, the figures were not actually 5" tall. Instead the [[Dalek]] figure was 5" tall and all other figures are scaled to match it.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://doctorwhotoys.net/designworks3.htm|title=Behind the Scenes at Design Works: Part 3 A little history|date of source=|website name=doctorwhotoys.net|accessdate=22nd October 2011}}</ref>

* Also includes the Doctor's sonic screwdriver.
* Unusally this figure lacks the inclusion of a stick of celery on the Doctor's lapel, a minor point in the otherwise '''very''' high quality of the whole output from [[Character Options]], but worth a mention. (Not as worthy as some of [[Dapol]]'s 'classics'!)
* Each release in this series included a build-it component to make [[K1|Robot K1]].
* This figure was sold separately. A variant with celery and different trousers was made available in a ComicCon exclusive [[Time Crash]] figure set, along with the [[Tenth Doctor]] and a [[Dalek Sec]] Top Trumps card.

* Also includes the Doctor's [[sonic devices|sonic lance]].
* At the time of its release, the Eighth Doctor and [[Alpha (The Evil of the Daleks)|Alpha]] [[Dalek]] from the story [[COMIC]]: ''[[Children of the Revolution (comic story)|Children of the Revolution]]'' set was one of the rare times that [[Character Options]] had designed and sold a figure not based on a television story. At the time of its release, the only other figure made from a non-televised medium was a Comic-con exclusive variant of the Sixth Doctor from the web cast audio ''[[Real Time (webcast)|Real Time]]''. This would change in [[2019]] when Character Options would begin to release variants of both the [[Eighth Doctor]] and the [[War Doctor]] based on their appearances in the [[Big Finish Productions]] audio story medium. Those figures also, amusingly, were released as two-packs along with a Dalek figure (see 2019 section).
* Availability of this figure was an issue. Shops received a mixed consignment of 12 figures from this series. Some figures, like the Fourth and Fifth Doctor were packaged 2 to a box - the Sixth Doctor was not one of them!
* Each release in the first Classic Action Figure series included a build-it component to make [[K1|Robot K1]]. This figure included the upper torso/shoulders.
* This figure was sold separately and not made available as part of a set.
* This set was released in 2008 and priced £7.99 (UK)
* A variant of the Sixth Doctor with a blue coat (as seen in ''[[WC]]: [[Real Time]]'') was issued exclusive to Forbidden Planet, and priced at £14.99 (UK) as a stand alone figure.
* A further version was released later showing the Sixth Doctor wearing the costume of the Fifth Doctor.

This article needs to be updated.

This article needs figures released late 2011 and 2012.

These omissions are so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Check out the discussion page and revision history for further clues about what needs to be updated in this article.

RealWorld.png

In 2008, Character Options began releasing action figures of characters from the classic Doctor Who series in the 5" scale. As was customary for Character Options, the figures were not actually 5" tall. Instead the Dalek figure was 5" tall and all other figures are scaled to match it.[1] Figures were often released in batches, referred to as "Waves". Thus, a figure might be said to be in "Wave 1", "Wave 2", or the like. Note that as of 2016 the wave has been re-dubbed the 5.5" range, with all figures appearing after 2016 as part of the "5.5" range".

The initial assortment contained three former incarnations of the Doctor and an assortment of creatures and robots. The focus was on the Fourth Doctor's era. Another feature of this line was the inclusion of parts of a build a figure in each toy (namely the K1 Robot and the Cyber-Controller from TV: The Tomb of the Cybermen). A second wave of six figures was released in 2010, but without a build-it component. Other waves followed.

Toys R Us Exclusive Doctor and Dalek sets[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • At the time of its release, the Eighth Doctor and Alpha Dalek from the story COMIC: Children of the Revolution set was one of the rare times that Character Options had designed and sold a figure not based on a television story. At the time of its release, the only other figure made from a non-televised medium was a Comic-con exclusive variant of the Sixth Doctor from the web cast audio Real Time. This would change in 2019 when Character Options would begin to release variants of both the Eighth Doctor and the War Doctor based on their appearances in the Big Finish Productions audio story medium. Those figures also, amusingly, were released as two-packs along with a Dalek figure (see 2019 section).
