Character Options has released details of another new item in its Doctor Who Collection – the Bill Potts Collector Figure.

this fully articulated 5-inch scale Bill Potts action figure has 13 points of articulation and depicts Bill just as shown in the series with leather trousers, hi-tops and multicoloured vest.

Bill Potts wants her life to be about more than serving chips. The cleverest person in the university canteen but never a student, Bill lives with her foster-mum Moira, and thinks exciting things happen to other people.

But when Bill makes a connection with student Heather, she soon finds herself dragged into a creepy and dangerous world that revolves around a mysterious and inexplicable puddle. There’s something wrong with her reflection… but what? In searching of the answer, she discovers that the lecturer who’s taken her under his wing is actually a time travelling alien who’s about to take her on the trip of a lifetime to get to the truth!

This impossible man, calling himself only ‘The Doctor’, promises to be Bill’s personal tutor. And now anywhere in time and space is the backdrop to the most unique education that the universe can offer.

The new Figure is available now from Amazon
