More actions
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).
