In all likelihood, the parks no longer have the Peter Pan Big Ben Big Figure. Big figures are often limited edition, which means that they will only produce x number of big figures before they stop production. Even if a big figure is not limited edition, Disney does not continue to make a specific big figure forever. There are many big figs which are no longer available except on the secondary market. Be aware that most big figs start around $150-175 US and depending on the size and complexity of the big figure, they may start much higher. I wouldn't be surprised if the Big Ben one started around $300. if they are no longer available in the parks, they may command a much steeper price on the secondary market. I know of one Mickey big fig that goes for $600 on the secondary market.
The action figures may have been released in 2007 as part of the Peter Pan release on DVD, but that is a complete guess on my part. You may be able to find them(or something similar) on the secondary market on a website like ebay. Because they're toys, I don't think they'll be very expensive.

Oh so pity! I hope Disney will consider to re-produce the big figure in the near future.

While it is possible that Disney will produce a big figure like Big Ben in the future, it will be different in some way from the one pictured above especially if the first figure was part of a limited edition. In 2005 for Disneyland's 50th anniversary, they made a big figure of Sleeping Beauty Castle as it was decked out for the 50th anniversary featuring Tink flying on the top spire and Phillip and Aurora(dressed in pink) dancing in front of the castle. Disney recently made a second Sleeping Beauty Castle big figure, but it's just the castle as it appears normally, and Aurora is depicted in her blue dress.
I'm not sure where you could find the Big Ben figure on the secondary market. It's possible that you could find it on ebay or just do a google search for it. I do know that Disney has made big figures of the pirate ship from Peter Pan, the attraction facade for Peter Pan's Flight at Disneyland, and you may be able to find some Peter Pan related big figures at DisneyShopping.com. Good luck and do your homework before deciding to buy on the secondary market. You want to make sure that you're getting the figure in the condition that you want before buying and the buyer is reputable.

Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance. A friend of mine has a huge collection of big figs, so I've learned a few things from her. She's working on publishing a book about them, but I don't know when it will be available. I remember seeing assorted Peter Pan big figures both in the parks and online, but they were a while ago.
