Character Options series 5 action figures

250px|right|Character Options' official ad for series 5, wave 1 Character Options manufactured Doctor Who action figures in the 5" scale which tied into the 2010 series of Doctor Who. Though the line did not include representations of every character in the series, it did incorporate many of them, as detailed below.

As was customary for Character Options, the figures were not actually 5" tall. Instead the Dalek figure was 5" tall, and all others were scaled to match. All other figures are scaled to match it.

Figures were often released in batches, referred to as "Waves". Thus, a figure might be said to be in "Wave 1", "Wave 2", or the like.
