Character Toys and B&M have revealed two new Doctor Who sets heading into B&M stores in the UK this September.
When the History of the Daleks sets reached the 5th Doctor era they skipped past Resurrection of the Daleks having just released a number of Grey & Black Dalek Drones. In 2024 they are returning to fill in this gap, although the 2024 set will be number 18 and therefore puts the collection numbering out of line for the first time since its inception. Tjhe Resurrection of the Dalek set will include the Black & White Dalek Supreme, and a standard Grey & Black Drone. Rumours of a variant set are not yet confirmed.
The second release for September 2024 is the long-awaited re-release of Emperor Davros from Remembrance of the Daleks. The mold for this figure was presumed lost by Character Toys but was recently rediscovered allowing this highly sought-after figure to be recreated now as a B&M boxed exclusive.
This latest installment for the History of the Daleks series features the black, white and silver liveried Supreme Dalek and a more customary Grey Drone Dalek, from the episode Resurrection of the Daleks’ that first aired in 1984.
In the episode, the Daleks return to rescue their leader Davros from his cryogenic sleep, to save them from a deadly virus created by their enemies, the Movellians. The tale unfolds into an epic battle that may see the entire Dalek race, including Davros, succumb to the virus, and culminates the Dalek Command ship and station being blown to atoms.
As all fans know, Davros is the creator of the Doctor’s deadliest enemies, the Daleks. In this special set, the evil genius is depicted as in the 1982 episode “Remembrance of the Daleks” partially mutated with one functioning hand, a cybernetic eye mounted on his forehead he is encased in his self-designed cream and gold support chair in place of his lower body – this mobile chair inspired his design of the Daleks.
The box comes complete with a gold limited edition seal and an inner back drop that sets the scene for the Emperor Davros’s evil doings to come.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
