Character Options has unveiled their final Doctor Who Vortex Edition Exclusive set for 2025, a new two-pack of the Wrarth Warriors as seen in the 14th Doctor special, The Star Beast, from 2023.


The Wrarth Warriors are substantially taller than the normal Doctor Who figures, measuring 18.6cm tall each (about 7.25 inches). They include full articulation with a 'light pipe' function built into the heads so their eyes light up when lit by a light source from behind.



The two Wrarth Warriors are more or less identical in sculpt, with some variation of paintwork. They are identified as seen in the episode as Constable Zreeg and Sergeant Zorgroth. While there are no additional accessories as scuh, their blaster weapons are detachable, and each figure includes a display stand.


The set is available immediately, exclusively at the Character Options store, with a UK RRP of £44.99 with free shipping inside the UK. We've added the pair to our comprehensive Doctor Who Collector Database and will aim to review the set on arrival.



This “Vortex” set includes Wrarth Warrior figures of the two most identifiable Wrarth, Constable Zreeg and Sergeant Zogroth. Standing at 18.6cm tall, The Wrarth are around 50mm taller than the standard Doctor Who action figures. Each imposing Wrarth has multiple articulation points, a display stand, detachable blaster weapon accessory and 'light pipe' eyes. The two characters are distinguished by unique paint detailing and their individualised carapace front.


With an armoured exoskeleton, astounding visual capabilities and a keen intelligence, the Wrarth are a biologically engineered species created by the Star Council as part of an intergalactic Police Force to hunt The Meep. This species originated from the 1980 Doctor Who Comic, as characters from ‘The Star Beast’ story written by Pat Mills and John Wagner and drawn by Dave Gibbons. The Wrarth are the quintessential Doctor Who ‘bug-eyed monster’ with the clever twist – that they are totally benevolent.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
