DEMAND for the latest Doctor Who toys is out of this world.
The five-inch high figures of characters from the science fiction show, starring David Tennant, have become collectors' items and are selling out as fast as they hit the shelves.
Some toy stores have now limited the number of figures people can buy.
Customers have even been seen waiting inside shops for the weekly deliveries from suppliers Character Options.
One sold-out figure, the evil Sycorax from the Christmas 2006 show, retailed at £7. But it is now appearing on auction websites formore than £60.
Especially sought-after are figures from series three, which include a model of the Doctor himself, companion Martha Jones and Thay, the last Dalek.
Justine Pryce, of Toys R Us, said: "Certain characters may well be out of stock.
"But we advise against spending over the odds as we are getting regular deliveries."
