All 11 Doctors' action figures in one presentation box. Beautiful.
The fact I already own most of them is irrelevant; besides, at least they've gone to the effort of making some a variant -- celery-sticked 5th Doctor (at last!) is perhaps the most obvious example; the 7th is now hatless (and brown-coated, though he was in the TARDIS set too); the 3rd, 4th Doctors are also different (or "slightly different", depending which versions you already own); the 6th may also have a slightly different costume, while the 10th is specs-on version (which, when they released so damn many 10th-era box sets with him, is hardly uncommon). Plus the 8th Doctor is new, and, as far as I'm concerned, I only recently got the Unearthly Child 1st Doctor so this is a big variant; plus I never got the 2nd and have yet to get an 11th.
Ah, the life of a collector.

The set's due out in August. RRP is £49.99 but obviously the Forbidden Planets have discounts. Cheaper of the two is .co.uk -- only 50p on the page, but standard p&p is a whole £3 less than .com, a good saving in my book.

1st - is a repainted variant, with different coloured waistcoat and trousers, if you care at all about that sort of detail. Plus the original release was a limited exclusive anyway.
2nd - is a repainted variant, with darker shirt, plain trousers and different coloured hankerchief in the pocket. Plus the original release was a limited exclusive anyway.
3rd - blatantly different, and in one of the more iconic colours too.
4th - again a blatantly different outfit, plus Tom finally manages to wear his hat without smiling like a loon.
5th - CELERY!
6th - The Vervoids Waistcoat! Different enough to make the figure worth keeping, rather than selling on because you already have one.
7th - No hat, not smiling like a loon. Brown jacket too, if you didn't get the TARDIS set.
8th - NEW!
9th - Identical to the one that came with the Auton junk, sadly. Fortunately the one I own is the green shirt, so at least there is once again a slight difference.
10th - Blue suit, coat and glasses was apparently one of the rarer combinations, so I'm led to believe. But also, if you look at the picture of the figures in the box, you can see that in does in fact have the new shorter haircut, and not the same old long one he only had for 2 episodes.
11th - Identical to the current release. Oh well.
