Along with each figure came an equally-collectible box. In the case of the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' figures, the box was in the [[regeneration]] colours of orange and gold, and featured [[Gallifrey]]an script and the [[RTD]]-era [[Doctor Who logo|logo]]. | Along with each figure came an equally-collectible box.

Indeed, given that it came out after the transmission of ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'', the [[Tenth Doctor]] figure would have been seen by initial purchasers as a ''past'' incarnation of [[the Doctor]]. However, prototype dolls were seen as early as [[January]] [[2009]] at the International Dolls Expo.<ref>[http://collectdolls.about.com/b/2009/01/31/tonner-dolls-unveils-new-doctor-who-line.htm Report from the 2009 IDEX]</ref> This means that the dolls were under development no later than [[2008]] — when Jones and the Tenth Doctor were still very much active characters. | ||
