As anticipation heightens among Doctor Who fans, Titan Entertainment amplifies the excitement with a fresh wave of merchandise related to the popular television series. These collectibles, exclusively available during the impending San Diego Comic-Con, were recently announced by the merchandising wing of Titan Entertainment.
Despite major studios such as Disney, Marvel Studios, and Netflix taking a backseat at the fan convention’s Hall H presentation due to the ongoing WGA strike—a move expected to be followed shortly by SAG AFTRA—companies continue to seize opportunities to promote merchandise, immersive experiences, and comic books and graphic novels.
ComicBook, a popular entertainment site, has offered fans a sneak peek at the forthcoming Doctor Who collectibles. Standout items include a 13-piece TARDIS enamel pin collection and vinyl figures embodying David Tennant’s Fourteenth Doctor character. The TARDIS Enamel Pin Collection, in its stark exclusivity, will only be available during the fan convention. Accompanying this, the three-inch tall vinyl figure accurately represents Tennant’s likeness and will come in two different forms: Kawaii Fourteenth and Classic Fourteenth Doctor.
Doctor Who Prepares to Mark its 60th Anniversary This Year
As a steadfast pillar in the television industry for six decades, Doctor Who has gracefully embraced the inevitable cycle of change. Through multiple regeneration of its central character, shifts in directors, and rotating writers, the series has entertained numerous generations. It has garnered substantial fanfare and critical acclaim over the years. To celebrate its 60th anniversary, the series will launch three special episodes that will feature the return of Tennant in his iconic role as the Fourteenth Doctor, not the Tenth. The release dates remain undisclosed, but the episodes are expected to launch sometime in November.
Fans received a taste of the direction the series might take in its new phase through a previously released celebratory trailer. High-octane action sequences, cinematic flair, new characters, and enigmatic creatures have stoked the anticipation for the forthcoming series. The series will witness the return of Catherine Tate as Donna Noble alongside Tennant. The ensemble cast is also set to welcome new faces: Ruth Madeley as Shirley Ann Bingham, Yasmin Finney as Rose, and Ncuti Gatwa as the new Doctor Who. In an exciting addition, Neil Patrick Harris has been cast as an intriguing antagonist. The blend of old and new in the upcoming season promises a captivating journey for viewers.
For those who plan on attending the San Diego Comic-Con, the new Doctor Who merchandise can be found at Titan Booth #5537 starting from Wednesday, July 19. Fans can also watch the teaser trailer for the 60th Anniversary specials, further fueling their anticipation for the milestone event.
