In 2008, Character Options began releasing action figures of characters from the classic Doctor Who series. The initial assortment contained three former incarnations of the doctor and a number of creatures and robots with a focus on the Fourth Doctor era. Another new feature of this line is the inclusion of parts of a build a figure in each toy. The line has continued with the release of a classic style Dalek set, Cybermen and some two packs.
