Character Toys Doctor Who B&M Exclusive releases of Eve of the Daleks set and the Fifteenth Doctor's TARDIS

Character Toys has shared the first of their 2025 Doctor Who B&M Exclusive Sets, with a pair of new releases arriving in UK B&M stores imminently. Up first is the History of the Daleks Set 21, which is based on the Thirteenth Doctor story Eve of the Daleks from 2022. The set includes two new series Daleks with their updated Gatling gun exterminator arms, as well as new manipulator arms. The Daleks also feature a darker colouring than the more traditional bronze New Series Daleks.



We then have a new standalone TARDIS release, a Fifteenth Doctor TARDIS to go with the more recent Fourteenth and Fifteenth Doctor releases. It includes a console room insert. More importantly, and as a point of difference from recent B&M TARDIS releases, the set includes light and sound FX.


We do not have any pricing as yet, but we would expect circa £25 each. We've added the two new sets into our comprehensive Doctor Who Collector Database



History of the Daleks #21 Collector Figure Set (08389)


This awesome collection figure set with a limited-edition seal on the packaging, includes 2 Executioner Daleks as seen in the 2022 episode, Eve of the Daleks. 


Eve of the Daleks explores the struggle The Thirteenth Doctor, Yaz, Dan, Nick and Sarah are faced with when they are caught in a Time-Loop created by the TARDIS, and forced to face the Daleks over and over, as time runs out!


Set in Manchester and shot during the Covid pandemic, Eve of the Daleks was the final story of the year and saw the Daleks were refurbished yet again but this time they had something of an upgrade. Although they retained the claw arms of the previous story, the ‘Executioner Squad’ Daleks, were given Gatling gun style rapid fire exterminator arms. The livery of the props was also updated with a darker more chocolatey livery that really offset the light gold of the skirt hemispheres and slats in a stunning way. 



Fifteenth Doctor’s TARDIS (08390)


Another superb, limited-edition collector’s piece, this 5.5” scale Electronic TARDIS model comes complete with light and sound FX and new TARDIS interior. 


Just like the Doctor, the TARDIS tends to stand out a bit. In past incarnations the exterior could change to blend in with its surroundings, but this handy facility was lost years ago when its Chameleon Circuit developed a fault. Since then, the TARDIS has retained the outer appearance of a traditional police call box. However, the interior was somewhat upgraded to meet the needs of The Fourteenth Doctor with a striking new console room; this was later inherited by The Fifteenth Doctor. As a salute to the TARDIS’ evolved design, this collector’s model comes with swappable interior cards. 


To commemorate the set the packaging come complete with gold limited-edition seal and interior packaging inserts to set the scene.

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...
