Character Options Debuts New Doctor Who 5.5″ Figure – Missy

Doctor Who logoEarly this morning Character Options held a press conference and announced an all new 5.5″ scale figure – Missy. Based on the performance (and featuring the likeness of) of Michelle Gomez, she stormed on scene last season of Doctor Who and returned this past week in the season premier.

The new Missy figure will be availble in two version, a purple outfitted version with hat from the series finale episodes; and alternatively in her ‘Heaven’ outfit, hatless with black jacket and manic grin. Each features 18 points of articulation and collector’s grade details and deco. In addition, the heads from each figure are swappable – letting you mix and match your favorite Missy outfit with your favorite Missy expression.  The bespoke UK Collector Series packs are perfect for display and for the first time are re-sealable, so that the figures can be enjoyed in or out of packaging without losing their collectability.

Only 4,000 units of each of the two figures are available in exclusive UK packaging at www.character-online.co.uk for a price of £19.99 each (excluding P&P). Delivery will be made to customers by early November.

Al Dewar states: “Character Options has been designing, manufacturing and marketing Doctor Who toys since 2005, so as true fans of the brand we wanted to tell collectors the latest news in the most direct, if informal way, which is why I made the announcement in person on the website. Missy is the first of a potential new line of highly sought after 5.5-inch action figures so we expect interest to be high and we are all very excited to share this with fans and collectors alike.

“Working with Michelle Gomez was great fun and she was the best subject we ever 3D scanned, patiently holding her facial expressions including her trademark Missy “sneer” for long periods of time. We know that many collectors have been eagerly waiting to see if Missy would at some point be included within our figure range, and at last, here she is.”
