Bring home Character Options’ ‘Vortex Edition’ set of the Doctor and his cute yet deceptive enemy from ‘The Star Beast’...
The second Doctor Who exclusive figure set of 2025 has been confirmed by Character Options and BBC Studios as a ‘Vortex Edition’ of the Fourteenth Doctor and the Meep. The set will go on sale today, Monday 16th June 2025, solely through character-online.com.
This exclusive set is a celebration of the 60th anniversary episode The Star Beast and includes the Fourteenth Doctor (as played by David Tennant) figure without his jacket, as well as the sonic screwdriver accessory. In addition, fans will find a stunning Meep figure. As part of the new range of Vortex Edition sets, the figures feature a higher specification decoration applied over base colour plastics for extra detail.
This set comprises of two figures. The Fourteenth Doctor is presented without his signature long jacket, but in shirt sleeves and waistcoat. The head which has been recast from the previous release, is decorated in the new ‘Vortex’ Style and in addition, the figure comes with the Sonic Screwdriver accessory.
The second figure is the nefarious Meep. This figure is a first for the Vortex Range with two interchangeable heads, one the ‘placid’ Meep expression and the other the evil maniacal Meep expression. It also has three sets of interchangeable hands, the first set echoes the meek ‘under the chin’ pose; the second is an ‘open handed’ pose; and third one incorporates the Meep’s blaster. It also has waist articulation and ball jointed poseable arms and elbows with internal pins.
Al Dewar, Character Options Creative Director added "It’s always good to do something new with the range and I think this set is going to genuinely blow folks socks off. We’ve not done a figure with so many accessories and interchangeable parts, but the Meep is the perfect test bed being such a split character behaviour wise."
The ‘Vortex Edition’ of the Fourteenth Doctor and the Meep is available now, solely through character-online.com.
