Character Options unveil new ‘Character Building’ toys
BBC Worldwide have recently released a press release detailing the new range of ‘Character Building’ Doctor Who toys from Character Options.
As the name suggests, the new range, to be released in the spring, will comprise of detailed 3D micro-figures, which can be used to build their Doctor Who worlds featuring the Doctor and Amy alongside some of their most famous foes, including the Daleks, the Cybermen, the Silurians and the Weeping Angels.
A distinguishing feature will be the use of texture, such as the sleek edges of a spaceship or the rough edges of a rock, to allow fans to fully immerse themselves in the world of the Doctor. The toys will be showcased at the London Toy Fair later this month.
“It was surreal coming face to face with a miniature version of myself as the Doctor,” Matt Smith said of the figures, while Karen Gillan added: “I absolutely love these miniature toys despite the strange sensation of seeing myself immortalised in plastic and miniature and buildable… and dissectible. I’m loving Pond’s flaming ginger mane.”
They remind me of the “Bendy Bulley” which the runners up used to win on Bullseye. A life size Bendy Bulley would make a fantastic DW monster!
