Character Options action figure sets

This article details the Doctor Who action figure sets released by Character Options for the modern revival series (2005 onwards). Many classic series sets have also been released. These were packs of figures that allowed one to act out scenes from various Doctor Who episodes. It should be noted that the figures are not really 5" tall. This is the height of the Dalek, which was produced first. All other figures are scaled to match it.
