Now
destroying
a universe near
you.
Dr.
Who's nefarious nemesis, the
Daleks, invaded the new millenium in 2001 via Britain's Product
Enterprise
Ltd., the new BBC licensee for Dr. Who. Above is the talking Dalek, on
the rampage after having discovered that he's not in either of these
Dr. Who DVDs. With
five authentic Dalek commands and flashing LEDs, and somewhat
reminiscent of the
early Marx talking Dalek, these new models were very well-made,
available
in three colors and retailed at around $40 US. Wreaking havoc
since 1963, the Daleks recently celebrated a fortieth anniversary of
destruction.
Below: Buzz Lightyear has his hands full with these three
little
roll-a-matic Daleks. Here they've attacked the Interplanetary
Headquarters as they plot
the Doctor's demise. "Menacing Motor Action! Fully Articulated! Highly
Detailed!" touts the ad copy, but that is almost an understatement.
They
are very-well made and finely detailed, and have pull-back motors. Four
different sets, each with three 2.5 inch daleks were available for
around
$25 US per set of three. Product Enterprise also released talking
Davros
and Cyberman, and a radio command Dalek.
