Series 7 Action Figures Wave One - 3.75" Scale
In October 2012, Character Options announced that all new series action figures will be made in the 3.75" scale, instead of the 5" scale collectors had grown to know and love. This section is a guide to these figures giving you a look at what has been released and what is going to be.
The first impressions upon the scale change were mixed. Some people were happy about how they could interact the characters with different ranges, and some were annoyed at the change saying the figures would look stupid in their collections along side the 5" ones.
However, since their release in May 2013, they have done amazingly well.
These figures cost £6.99 and the playsets £9.99 - £12.99.
Wave One[]
6 Figures were released in wave one. They include;
The Eleventh Doctor 3.75"
The Doctor
This figure was originally slated by collectors due to it's lack of resemblance to Matt Smith, however, many who originally said this, have now complimented this figure, saying, it's good for it's size. A rare version with a darker waistcoat and bow tie is also available.[1]
Clara
This figure is praised for being one of the strongest of the wave, having a very close resemblance to Jenna-Louise Coleman. A rare version of clara wearing a red dress is also available. [2]
Clara Oswald 3.75" Action Figure
Cyberman
Cyberman 3.75" Action Figure
Again, this too is praised for being a very strong figure in the line up. A rare version with a blue chest piece and a gun arm is also available.[3]
Ice Warrior
Yet another one of the stronger figures of the line up. An unarmoured version is available with the Cold War timezone set.
Dalek
This figure is praised for being so much more detailed than it's 5" predecessor even if it is 1 1/4 inches smaller. A black rare version is also available. [4]
Weeping Angel
This figure is quite possibly the worst in the wave as it is often slated due to it's lack of possibility. A rare 'looped' version is also availble.[5]
