The fourth of Character Options Doctor Who Vortex releases for their Yeti collect-and-build series will be the Fourth Doctor, and we now have a full reveal of the figure and its included accessories.


This set will include a base Fourth Doctor with long frock coat, pirate boots, and a soft goods scarf. You can choose from two different heads, one hatted and one without, and also from alternative hands, including one hand posed as 'wait' and another cupped to hold an included bag of Jelly Babies.



You can then change the Doctor's outfit further by swapping out the shirt front, allowing you to also display him with a Tartan jumper or the waistcoat he wore for Shada. The set is completed with the Fourth Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver. The pack will also feature the next Yeti part, the largest yet, with the Abominable Snowman's waist and legs.



This new set is available to order from the Character Toys website with immediate dispatch on Monday the 19th of October at 10 am for anyone who has purchased the previous set featuring Liz Shaw and the Primord. General availability then opens on the 20th of October.

We've added the Fourth Doctor's full image gallery to our comprehensive Doctor Who Collector Database



Character Options is delighted to launch the fourth set from its Collect and Build vortex series - The Fourth Doctor Set.


The Vortex Edition figure set is inspired by the fourth story of the classic Doctor Who season 14, first broadcast in 1977.


With 9 pieces within, it features:

  • The Fourth Doctor action figure in long frock coat and 'pirate' boots.

  • An alternative Fourth Doctor head with different expression and hat.

  • Alternative Tartan pullover and 'Shada' waistcoat fronts.

  • Alternative hand options including a 'wait' hand and cupped hand.

  • A packet of the Fourth Doctor sweet of choice jelly babies.

  • Sonic Screwdriver accessory.

  • 'Soft goods' fabric multi-coloured long scarf.


This limited-edition Doctor Who Collect & Build "Vortex" set includes a crucial part of the Collect & Build 'Yeti' figure - the pre-assembled hips and legs.


The set is beautifully presented in an open style presentation box. Perfect for all Doctor Who fans and collectors.

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...
