Revision as of 22:11, 3 April 2011

This article needs a big cleanup.

It's unclear what's wrong with the article, because the editor who placed this tag here didn't enumerate the page's problems.

These problems might be so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Talk about it here or check the revision history or Manual of Style for more information.

With the Doctor Who series reboot in 2005, Character Options acquired the major toy licence.
Central to its releases was a series of 5" action figures depicting characters from the TV series. (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.)[1].
This article lists action figures released to tie in with Series 1 Rose up to and including The Christmas Invasion, which Character Options considers part of Series 1.
The below listing is alphabetical and includes variations that may have been released.
Figures were often released in batches referred to as 'Waves'(eg Wave 1 release).

Auton

  • An Auton as seen in DW: Rose.
  • The Auton is articulated at the shoulders, elbows, hips, knees and neck. Two Autons both with black jackets but different shirts and skin tones were available in a two pack. An Auton with a grey jacket was also availible on its own.

Captain Jack Harkness

Dalek

  • Several versions of the basic Dalek as seen in DW: Dalek have been released. The basic Dalek body features rolling wheels, turning head, elevating and detachable eyestalk, ball jointed and detachable arms. In addition a version was available with Genetic Print and another with with Mutant Reveal.
  • The Assault Dalek had a combination claw/welding torch manipulator arm as seen in DW: The Parting of the Ways. The figure features rolling wheels, turning head, elevating eyestalk and ball jointed arms. The eyestalk and arms are removable so as to be compatible with the Genesis Ark playset. As with all of the Character Options Dalek toys the paint deco includes a name Glyph.

Doctor Constantine

  • A figure of Doctor Constantine from DW: The Empty Child.
  • The figure has interchangeable heads one depicting his normal face and another with gas mask.

The Editor

  • A figure of The Editor from DW: The Long Game.
  • This figure is articulated at the shoulders, biceps, elbow, hips, knees, waist and neck.

Empty Child

  • A figure of the Empty Child from DW: The Empty Child.
  • This figure was only available packaged with Captain Jack and is articulated at the shoulders, hips, waist and neck.

Face of Boe

  • This figure was released as a larger deluxe model in the range and featured facial movement from a slider on the top of the tank.


Gelth Phantom

  • A figure of the Gelth phantom from DW: The Unquiet Dead.
  • This figure was only available in parts with a wave of figures released in early 2009 as a Collect-and Build.

  • A figure of the corpse reanimated by the Gelth in DW: The Unquiet Dead.
  • A variant was available that added glow in the dark paint to the figure's head and hands.

Jabe

Moxx of Balhoon

Ninth Doctor

  • A figure of the Ninth Doctor as depicted throughout the first series, first appearing in DW: Rose (TV story).
  • There are two different sculpts of this figure, one with a very dynamic pose but minimal articulation and another in a more neutral pose with more articulation.
  • At different times Ninth Doctor figures have been made available with either green or burgundy shirts. The figure packaged with Auton parts has a burgundy shirt.
  • The increased articulation version was available with Sonic Screwdriver or with plastic bomb, Auton arm and duplicate Mickey's head.
  • The Ninth Doctor was also available in a two pack with the Tenth Doctor in the same outfit.

  • This was released as a deluxe model in the series and came with its own stand.
  • A coloured light on the Reapers chest could be activated at the press of a button.
