{{real world}} This article details the '''''Doctor Who''''' '''series 6 action figures''' released by [[Character Options]] in the 5" scale, in alphabetical order after the regular travellers that appear in the [[Series 6 (Doctor Who)|2011 series]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' featuring the [[Eleventh Doctor]] as played by [[Matt Smith]].

[[Character Options]] manufactured '''''Doctor Who'' action figures in the 5" scale''' that tied into the [[Series 6 (Doctor Who 2005)|2011 series]] (series 6) of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. Though the line did not include representations of every character in the series, it did incorporate many of them, as detailed below.


It should be noted that the figures are not actually five inches tall. This is in fact the height of the first [[Dalek]] figure from the 5" range and all other figures were scaled to match. Presumably, the Rose Tyler figure from Series 2 is also 5"'', ''as the Daleks were made to be at Billie Piper's eyeline, meaning the Daleks are as tall as as Rose Tyler.''<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>''

Figures were often released in batches, referred to as "Waves". Thus, a figure might be said to be in "Wave 1", or "Wave 2" for example. Certain variations of particular figures may appear in different ways, as shown below.
 
Note that not all figures released in this series were from the corresponding series of the television show. One example is the individual figure release of [[River Song]], whose appearance is based on her appearance in [[Series 5 (Doctor Who 2005)|series 5]] of the revived show.
