Lego Doctor Who (Almost)

A new construction toy range has just been unveiled by toy company Character Options that will see the Doctor, Amy Pond and many of their enemies quite literally taken to pieces!

The first products in the exciting Character Building range will be released in time for Easter 2011 with unique new figures and playsets featuring the Doctor and other characters from the hit BBC One show. This will be the first time ever that the Time Lord has been depicted as a construction toy.

This new brick based collection includes 3D micro-figures that are brought to life with sculpted facial features making the Doctor played by Matt Smith and Amy Pond played by Karen Gillan instantly recognisable.

Matt Smith and Karen Gillan have already had first sight of their new miniature alter egos. Matt Smith said: “It was very surreal and funny coming face to face with a miniature version of myself as the Doctor but I’m glad that the Doctor’s trusty Sonic Screwdriver is in his hand, ready to fend off attacks from monsters!”

Karen Gillan added:“I absolutely love these miniature toys of the Doctor and Amy Pond despite the strange sensation of seeing myself immortalised in plastic and miniature and buildable…and dissectible. I’m loving Pond’s flaming ginger mane and it’s funny to think that The Doctor and Amy are small enough to travel around in someone’s pocket!”
