New Cybemen Figures

Character Options have released pictures and information about a new wave of Cyberman figures, that cover both the Classic Series and the New Series. There are 5 figures in total, but one of them you have to find parts for in each of the other four items, and they come with them. Below you can read the list of the different Cybermen in the new wave;

• Cyberman from “The Tenth Planet”
• Cyberman with two Cybermats from “The Tomb of the Cybermen”
• Cyberman with gun accessory from “The Invasion”
• Cyber Leader from "The Next Doctor"
  
• The figure you are able to build is the Cyber Controller, the version which appeared in "Tomb of the Cybermen"

They did the same thing with the collect and build idea with the first wave of Classic figures, building up to become the K1 Robot, from "Robot". These figures will be released on the 30th of January at the RRP price of £7.99 each.

Time Squad

One of the new things Character Options are bringing out next year are the new 'Time Squad' figures. They are figures of the normal friends and enemies there have been in the new series, but these are a bit different. Instead of them trying to look exactly like the real thing (but in small form), they are designed in a very much cartoony way. This makes them look as if a stylish artist has drawn them, and they certainly do look different! And not in a bad way. They are slightly squashed, so their middle section is shorter. This is shown with a Dalek. There are normally quite a few  sense spheres on the bottom, but these new figures have only two. These are very creative and inventive items that Character are bringing out, and they should work well. At the moment, fifteen figures have been confirmed, and they are the Doctor, Davros, a Dalek, the Supreme Dalek, Dalek Sec, a Cyberman, a Weeping Angel, a Clockwork robot, a Sycorax, a Sontaran, a Pyrovile, a Slitheen, an Ood, a Scarecrow and Vashta Nerada. These are due to be released in the UK and Ireland next month, January, and sold in packs of two or five. They would be too small for one each, and a waste of packaging. No price has been decided, but we'll keep you updated. You can see the first picture of the new set above, thanks to Doctor Who Toys.

Torchwood Wave 1 Figures - Packaging

Pictures of the packaging, thanks to SciFi Collector, for the new Torchwood figures has now been released. The first wave, which these pictures are of, consist of the figures Captain Jack Harkness, Gwen Cooper, Cyberwoman and a Weevil. Note that a packaging picture for Captain Jack has not yet been released. The packaging is quite different from the Doctor Who ones, and is mostly in a yellow colour, and has a picture of the character in the bottom left. The actual figure is in the middle and in blister packaging. The Torchwood logo is spread across the top with 'Poseable Action Figures' written underneath. The 'T' logo is also on it, in the middle. The figures are highly detailed, just like the Doctor Who ones, and are fully articulated. The pictures of all the figures can be seen here, on their website. What do you think?

The American Vespiform

America has announced that they will be releasing the second wave of Series 4 figures in their country. They will be just like the ones sold over here, apart from one great feature with every figure. Each pack will contain part of the Vespiform, a giant wasp-shaped creature featured in the episode The Unicorn and the Wasp. Over here, this sort of thing happened with the K2 Robot figure, and had a part with each figure. A sort of way for the manufacturers to make money, as you'll want all parts, so you'll buy them all. There are twelve different parts to the Vespiform, everything from the left chest to the stand! Below, you can view all parts, including which figures it will come with;

• Vashta Nerada + transparent base
• River Song + right chest with legs
• Hath Peck + wing
• Sontaran General Staal + wing
• Sontaran Commander Skorr + upper abdomen with 2 legs
• Supreme Dalek + head
• Davros + upper chest
• Pyrovile Priestess + left chest
• Donna Noble + middle abdomen
• 25 pcs Adipose + stinger
• Natural Ood + transparent stand
• Sigma Ood + lower abdomen

It is said that the second wave in both countries should be released early next year, at the RRP price in the UK of £7.99 each.
