July 18th, 2013 - 9:11pmWhy is the US got an accurate 12″ and the Uk get and incorrect one?
Who Is The Doctor
July 18th, 2013 - 8:54pmI understand the British version, since Doctor Who is a British series, but why does the US get a variation? Not trying to cause an argument, you understand, but it seems odd.

July 18th, 2013 - 8:47pmdoctor who is a brtish TV show that the Americans can watch as well

July 18th, 2013 - 8:34pmWith there being so much argument over our beloved UK, why not have the big UK Dalek accompanied by smaller 5″ Daleks for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland? That would solve it nicely
josh smith
July 18th, 2013 - 8:37pmbut if all the dlaeks are the same size then we are all the same
TheWhomobile
July 18th, 2013 - 10:01pmHow I imagined it was for the UK Dalek to be the biggest as it represents the whole kingdom and the other 4 are all 5″ as they are smaller than the UK as a whole

July 18th, 2013 - 8:32pmI can’t help but laugh at how controversial this product has become within such a short space of time. Bad move. Ha!
Scott the Raptor
July 18th, 2013 - 8:30pmThis is probably the most controversial piece of merchandise since that 10″ Doctor with beard!
booboo
July 18th, 2013 - 8:32pmyes indeed, but then i knew it would be
Trenzalore
July 18th, 2013 - 8:29pmWell we do get one too
the astronaut of death
July 18th, 2013 - 8:29pmbooboo are you getting both
the astronaut of death
July 18th, 2013 - 8:22pmbooboo what date is this getting relesed
booboo
July 18th, 2013 - 8:25pmno idea
DavidH
July 18th, 2013 - 8:22pmWow
‘Exterminate’ as patriotic?
I lack the words to describe how tasteless that is
josh smith
July 18th, 2013 - 8:23pmEXTERMINATE THE PRESIDENT
EXTERMINATE THE QUEEN
dosnt sound very good
Scott the Raptor
July 18th, 2013 - 8:17pmNo, just no. Why is there only 2 or 3 stars? America has 50 states. The top half looks bare and the bottom half looks like the background of a fairground ride.
booboo
July 18th, 2013 - 8:18pmcould be a work in progress

July 18th, 2013 - 8:17pmIf americans like it than other contries will like it
StarkBoy
July 18th, 2013 - 8:14pmThis is going to cause chaos with other fans from different countries wanting their own Dalek with the print of their flag on it. Still I see why they released a American version. Would love to see a Welsh flag version , but I am happy with the Union Flag version.
booboo
July 18th, 2013 - 8:16pmJust thinking about the Welsh one, might look quite good that
Any way what with Mr potato head and this today i cant wait to see what next
Trenzalore
July 18th, 2013 - 8:17pmgood point
Trenzalore
July 18th, 2013 - 8:18pmI mean good point to the arguing with other country’s wanting their own dalek, wales is a country
Scott the Raptor
July 18th, 2013 - 8:18pmI want a St. Andrew’s Cross!
Moodbeam
July 18th, 2013 - 8:27pmWales IS a country. The United Kingdom consists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Great Britain is made up of Scotland, England, and Wales; each a country in their own right. So yes, Wales IS a country. Blimey, I dread to think what would have happened if you’d have said Scotland wasn’t a country, lol.
Scott the Raptor
July 18th, 2013 - 9:33pmNo complaints there, booboo! It was wierd in Scotland last year. It rained nearly every day in the Summer and was roasting on Christmas Day………..
Da Big Friendly Button
July 18th, 2013 - 9:38pmWith me being a quarter welsh and a quarter irish either flag would float my boat.
Trenzalore
July 18th, 2013 - 9:40pmWell if your a quarter Welsh and a quarter Irish, then what about the other two quarters to make a whole??? Are they dalek?
booboo
July 18th, 2013 - 8:12pmbut look at it the other way, we are making a TV programme that is starting to have a big fan base in the USA so much so that it warrants its own branding there
We should actually be quite proud of that
Sam Bentley
July 18th, 2013 - 8:11pmI mean, I get WHY I just don’t think there should be one… I don’t mean to sound bad – I probably do – bit its just my opinion at the end of the day.
booboo
July 18th, 2013 - 8:09pmI can see why the USA have their version, its simply a 50th Memento, something different, doesn’t really worry me this as the British one looks 100 time better anyway to me
Having said that we will still try to get one
Explosive Cookie
July 18th, 2013 - 7:49pm…why? No offence but why make an American one?
booboo
July 18th, 2013 - 7:50pmwell the Daleks were in Manhattan so why not
Whovian
July 18th, 2013 - 7:58pmIwant a Japanese one NOW!!
TheBritishCupOfTea
July 18th, 2013 - 8:38pma japanese one would be rubbish. It would just be completely white with a red head
Moid
July 18th, 2013 - 7:45pmI’m a dalek obsessive so I will be compelled to get this one if it is available in the UK, but if both designs are £39.99 each, then I’ve got to find £80 from somewhere. Not good at all. I hope they can stretch to £70 for both or some such thing. Wish TRU would do something similar with the twin packs too.

Trenzalore
July 18th, 2013 - 7:43pmWhy does it only have 2 stars if it’s American shouldn’t it be 50?
josh smith
July 18th, 2013 - 7:45pmwhy would it have 50? oh cause its the 50th anniversary.
Trenzalore
July 18th, 2013 - 7:46pmNo because there are supposed to be 50 stars on the American flag, it represents all the different states. And that too I guess
Jamie
July 18th, 2013 - 7:48pmOr because the American flag has 50 stars on it.
drjakeyoung
July 18th, 2013 - 8:12pmA state is a bit like a county in England. But much much larger.
the astronaut of death
July 18th, 2013 - 7:43pmno offence to the USA
but the USA dalek design looks terrible
.
the astronaut of death
July 18th, 2013 - 7:48pmI think the daleks might even exterminate character for making them look so terrible
booboo
July 18th, 2013 - 7:48pmBest comment in years
the astronaut of death
July 18th, 2013 - 7:52pmthanks!
the astronaut of death
July 18th, 2013 - 7:55pmthat is quite an achievement
Jamie
July 18th, 2013 - 7:42pmI really like the top half! LOL. The bottom half doesn’t look so good.
jaketorwho
July 18th, 2013 - 7:41pmBooboo i does look better but im not a fan of either! I would have preferred a bigger 2012 drone with metallic red.
josh smith
July 18th, 2013 - 7:42pmthe Uk one looks great but if only they included a crown on the sides
Trenzalore
July 18th, 2013 - 7:44pmWhy a crown?
josh smith
July 18th, 2013 - 7:46pmUk has a monarchy and a crown resembles that
Trenzalore
July 18th, 2013 - 7:48pmIt might look a bit weird with a random crown on the sides when we don’t have one on the flag and lot’s of country’s have a monarchy so it may get confusing. But still a good idea 🙂
ThePixelatedDalek
July 12th, 2014 - 10:03pmI really like the USA Dalek even though I’m British! But you’re right a 13″ Metallic Drone would be much better!
the astronaut of death
July 18th, 2013 - 7:40pmno offence to the USA
but the USA dalek design looks terrible
Trenzalore
July 18th, 2013 - 7:38pmWill the American one be available in the UK?
josh smith
July 18th, 2013 - 7:38pmhope not
Trenzalore
July 18th, 2013 - 7:38pmI don’t really like it but for collection purposes
booboo
July 18th, 2013 - 7:39pmthink its an Underground Toys item so i dont know
Trenzalore
July 18th, 2013 - 7:40pmOkay, thanks booboo, I am trying to get both if I can 🙂
Cybermen
July 18th, 2013 - 7:37pmLooks real bad!
jaketorwho
July 18th, 2013 - 7:34pmUrm ok! I get that doctor who is worldwide now, but i think making a british icon like a dalek with stars and stripes takes it to far imo!
Trenzalore
July 18th, 2013 - 7:37pmI actually agree with that.
Trenzalore
July 18th, 2013 - 7:39pmthey can have it in schools to learn the flags 😆
booboo
July 18th, 2013 - 7:41pmand get exterminated if the get it wrong
jaketorwho
July 18th, 2013 - 7:40pm*getting
booboo
July 18th, 2013 - 7:40pmTold this might happen in January, it really doesn’t matter because the British one looks miles better
josh smith
July 18th, 2013 - 7:34pmnot as good as the Uk one
