'''Character Building''' was the name of a whole class of [[Character Options]] figures and playsets. The Character Building line featured micro-figures somewhat reminiscent of the main lines of [[The LEGO Group|LEGO]] products. Character Options produced Character Building figures for several different franchises. In the spring of [[2011 (releases)|2011]], they began releasing such figures under their ''[[Doctor Who]]'' licence. Most of the figures came from stories in the [[Steven Moffat]] era of the programme. There are three series of blind figure packets, one from [[2010 (releases)|2010]], one from 2011, and one from [[2012 (releases)|2012]]. A fourth series was announced at the London [[Toy Fair]] in 2014.
