Exclusive: Doctor Who News and Merchandise at the Licensing Expo

The Thirteenth Doctor is on the cover of The Bugg Report, a publication released in conjunction with the expo. Unfortunately the publication does not impart any new information about Series 11.

This is what I've been able to find so far for Doctor Who merchandise at the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas. I hope to have more news soon.

There is a new line with an attractive coat, a handbag and some jewelry featuring Gallifreyan symbols and, most importantly, stars. I hoped there'd be stars!

Do the stars look familiar? They should! There are stars on the Thirteenth Doctor's earring.

This is the highest resolution image I could glean from the PocketMags version of #DoctorWho Magazine of Thirteen's earring. You can now see the delineation of the fingers in the gold hand. #JodieWhittaker pic.twitter.com/C6osFJQNis

The simplified rendition of the thirteenth Doctor's earring for comics shows only four stars. The number of stars on her upper ear seems not to matter. Note the lighter color at the (fingertips?) of one of the (shaking hands?). A gem of some kind? pic.twitter.com/4bY9FXIBsf

It appears I was fortunate to find what little I did about BBC Studios' presence at the Licencing Expo. While other booths featured pieces of television sets, puppets, a live cat, and people dressed in character costumes including Power Rangers, a Velociraptor, Godzilla, etc., BBC Studios quietly offered space featuring several of their programs for convention goers to explore. I'm told there are two Doctor costumes in the far right of the second photo in this tweet.

ITV posted a video of an accelerated walk-through of the convention which briefly included the BBC Studios booth.

Here is a screenshot of the video which shows the outside of the BBC Studios booth with a poster of the thirteenth Doctor.

So, with Doctor Who Series 11 premiering in October, it's too early for a huge thirteenth Doctor merchandising promotion.
