This article contains all of the action figures released by Character Options in the 5" scale, in alphabetical order, that appear in the second series of the 2005 revival of Doctor Who.

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 are scaled to match it.[1]

Chip

A figure of Chip as seen in DW: New Earth. Chip was originally released with Series 2 Rose Tyler in late 2006, and re-released with 'Destroyed' Lady Cassandra in late 2008.

Clockwork Man

Two Clockwork Droids were released in late 2006, based their appearance in DW: The Girl in the Fireplace. The first of these variants was blue, and the second was black. Both feature removable arm weapons, and their masks can be removed to expose their "clockwork" face. The blue Clockwork Man was also available in a Series 2 6 figure gift pack exclusive to Woolworths, while the black Clorkwork Man was available in a Series 2 10 figure gift pack exclusive to Toys'R'Us. In early 2009, the blue version was re-released, but this time in purple and cream colours, as part of the "Gelth Phantom build-a-figure" wave. This Clockwork Man came with a blue connector.

Cyber-Controller

Two versions of the Cyber-Controller from DW: Rise of the Cybermen/The Age of Steel were released. It featured most of the same mold as the regular-release Cyberman, but with sparkplugs on the chest and an exposed brain. The first version released also had pale yellow eyes, while the second release's eyes were blue. The latter version was also made available with a throne and two Cybermen without gun-arms (solicited as "Cyber Guards"). He was later retooled to make the Cyber Leader from DW:The Next Doctor.

Cyberman

Two versions of the Cybus Cyberman were released. The first came unarmed and with open hands, while the second came with a gun attached to its right forearm and a clenched right fist. As well as being single carded figures, the first was released in a Series 2 10 figure gift pack exclusive to Toys'R'Us, and two were included with the Cyber-Controller as "Cyber Guards"; the second figure was available in the two versions of the Doomsday set: once with the Tenth Doctor (in brown suit with trenchcoat and sonic screwdriver) and Dalek Sec, and once with the Tenth Doctor (in brown suit with 3D glasses) and Dalek Sec.

The Cult of Skaro

Dalek Sec was the only Dalek of the Cult to be released as a single carded figure during Series 2. All four Daleks are retools of the Series 1 'Dalek with Mutant Reveal' mold, with the 'Mutant Reveal' feature removed, and were available in a gift pack with the Genesis Ark. Their eyestalks, guns and manipulator arms were all removable, to allow them to fit inside the Genesis Ark. Dalek Thay and the Genesis Ark were later included in the "Army of Ghosts" box set, with a Destroyed Cyberman and Mickey Smith. Dalek Sec was included in the Series 2 10 figure gift pack exclusive to Toys'R'Us, two different 6 figure gift sets exclusive to Woolworths, and two different versions of the Doomsday set.

Faceless Grandma Connolly and The Wire

Grandma Connolly and The Wire as seen in DW: The Idiot's Lantern. Grandma Connolly had interchangeable heads, representative of her "normal" and "faceless" appearance. The Wire was comprised of two accessories: a 1950s television screen and the smaller, bakelite transmitter (which was later re-released as part of the "Woolworths exclusive" waves with the Tenth Doctor (in glasses, brown suit and trenchcoat)).

The Hoix

The Hoix, as seen fleetingly at the start of DW: Love & Monsters and more prominently in TW: Exit Wounds.

K-9

Three different K-9s were released as part of the line. The first is painted as being weathered and "rusty", depicting the K-9 Mk III at the start of DW: School Reunion, and was available with Series 1 Rose Tyler and a Series 2 6 figure gift pack exlcusive to Toys'R'Us. The second K-9 has a "cleaner" appearance, depicting K-9 Mk IV from the end of DW: School Reunion and throughout The Sarah Jane Adventures; he was available with Series 2 Rose Tyler, Sarah Jane Smith, and three different 6 figure gift sets exclusive to Woolworths. Both of these versions had "pull back and go" motion and a removeable panel on the robot's side. The third version was a remote control version. It looks the same as the "rusty" K-9 Mk III but is slightly larger, and the removeable panel on the side has been replaced with a battery port. It was included with the Tenth Doctor, either in brown suit or in brown suit with trenchcoat.

Krillitane

Four different Krillitanes from DW: School Reunion were released. The first two featured a sculpt with an open mouth and were released in late 2006; both a red and grey colouration was available. In late 2007, both figures were re-released but slightly retooled: instead of the sculpt having an open mouth, it was now closed. The red Krillitane was also available in a Series 2 10 figure gift set exclusive to Toys'R'Us, while the grey Krillitane was available in a Series 2 6 figure gift set exclusive to Woolworths.

Lady Cassandra

Lady Cassandra has had previous releases as part of Series One. Cassandra had two releases under the Series 2 banner - both solicited as "Destroyed Cassandra". The first was a modification to the second version of the original Series 1 figure: the beige plastic representing the skin was removed, leaving just a frame, and this was released as part of the "Woolworths Exclusive" line. Her second release came in late 2008, in a two-pack with Chip.
