 It’s hard to imagine that the Daleks have been around since 1963! Now, to
 capture some of the interest in the new Dr Who episodes, these super-looking
 remote-controlled models have been released.

 For those of you who don’t know, the Daleks are a race of mutants who
 live in these robotic shells. The shells themselves feature formidable
 weaponry, but despite the Daleks’ ruthlessly-determined efforts, they were
 never able to outsmart the Doctor – mainly because they famously couldn’t
 climb stairs.

 I never missed an episode of Dr Who, and I would have sold my soul for
 one of these things as a boy, but after the bitter rivalries between the
 Daleks’ creator, Terry Nation and the BBC, the commercial merchandise was
 withdrawn. It looks like Terry Nation’s passing and the popular success of
 the new series has spurred sort of deal to be made.

 These Daleks stand 8 inches tall and can be moved by rotating left and
 right, as well as forwards. The head twists, just like the “real” cyborg,
 and you can play a random, digitised sound from a list of 9 different
 phrases, and of course the beloved “You will be exterminated!” is included.
 The Daleks cost $55 and come in three different colour schemes, but it’s pot
 luck on the colour choice, though I’ve no idea why!

 In any case, I’m ordering a Dalek (for my son), but it’s going back it’s
 not a red and black one!

[scifinoir2] Remote controlled Daleks

It’s hard to imagine that the Daleks have been around since 1963! Now, to
capture some of the interest in the new Dr Who episodes, these super-looking
remote-controlled models have been released.

For those of you who don’t know, the Daleks are a race of mutants who live
in these robotic shells. The shells themselves feature formidable weaponry,
but despite the Daleks’ ruthlessly-determined efforts, they were never able
to outsmart the Doctor – mainly because they famously couldn’t climb stairs.

I never missed an episode of Dr Who, and I would have sold my soul for one
of these things as a boy, but after the bitter rivalries between the Daleks’
creator, Terry Nation and the BBC, the commercial merchandise was withdrawn.
It looks like Terry Nation’s passing and the popular success of the new
series has spurred sort of deal to be made.

These Daleks stand 8 inches tall and can be moved by rotating left and
right, as well as forwards. The head twists, just like the “real” cyborg,
and you can play a random, digitised sound from a list of 9 different
phrases, and of course the beloved “You will be exterminated!” is included.
The Daleks cost $55 and come in three different colour schemes, but it’s pot
luck on the colour choice, though I’ve no idea why!

In any case, I’m ordering a Dalek (for my son), but it’s going back it’s not
a red and black one!
