Scots actor Peter Capaldi's role in Dr Who has been cemented with the release of an action figure.

The much anticipated action figure for the newly regenerated twelfth Doctor, as portrayed by Peter Capaldi is now available to fans and collectors.

The release of the 3.75 inch action figure is so highly anticipated that manufacturers Character Options had to air freight more figures in order to meet demand.

It will be released with a new assortment which includes favourite characters from the past and present series, including the tenth, eleventh and twelfth incarnation of the famous Time Lord, his fiery former companion Amy Pond and two versions of the Daleks; classic design and Asylum design (as seen in Asylum of the Daleks).

For collectors wishing to complete their line-up of Time Lords, the twelfth Doctor can be found in two guises; in his regenerated form as seen in the The Time of the Doctor and in his stylish new outfit, which will become more familiar as Series 8 progresses; resplendent in black long-line jacket, waistcoat, trousers and boots.

This latest figure will be first of the twelfth Doctor in his own unique style and is eagerly awaited by fans.

The new series is available in store now.

Each figure costs £6.99 and is presented on its own red Doctor Who Display base (excluding Dalek figures).
