Character Toys Doctor Who Cyberman Dark Water 2-Pack opens for ordering on the 29th of June at 10 am
Character Toys has emailed those who signed up for updates on the new Doctor Who figure wave featuring the Yeti 'Collect & Build' figure to confirm the first release of the Dark Water Cyberman 2-Pack will open for ordering at 10 am on the 29th of June.
This is a few days ahead of the original July window. There is also a change in the wider wave with the Tom Baker 4th Doctor moving back to the October slot, while the Liz Shaw and Primord move forward into September.
This limited-edition Doctor Who Collect & Build “Vortex” set is the first of five launches this year. Each pack includes one or more ‘Vortex’ figures, plus a part of the Collect & Build ‘Yeti’ figure.
About the Set
The set includes two Cyberman figures, created from an entirely new digital sculpt. These new figures feature multiple articulation points, as well as the now customary higher specification decoration for which this Vortex range is renowned. Intricate in its styling, the Cyberman are articulated with a ball-pivot neck, wrists, chest and ankles, ball-jointed shoulders, and hips, as well as internal pins in the elbows, and knees. They have the slightly darker under armour contrasting with the metallic armour plates of the outer suit, as well as the open white/blue ‘chest light’ that is distinctive to this ‘Dark Waters/ Death in Heaven' Cyberman variant.
Each figure comes packed with a standard left and right arm, as well as an alternative replaceable lower right forearm accessory allowing them to be displayed with their Cyber Gun weapons in the ‘deployed’ position.
For the first time in 17 years, this pack also comes with the first key part of the ‘Collect & Build’, ‘Abominable Snowman’ (1967) figure: the Yeti’s Head. Each subsequent set will be issued with one new additional part of the mighty ‘Yeti’ for fans to collect, with the remaining arms, hips with legs and upper torso parts to be spread across the remaining four sets.

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...
