Doctor Who 12″ Remote “Asylum” Dalek (Toys r Us)

Doctor Who 12″ Remote “Asylum” Dalek (Toys r Us)

When the Doctor, Amy and Rory are captured and brought before the Parliament of the Daleks, they naturally fear for their lives. Expecting to be exterminated, they are surprised to be asked to save the Daleks.

Features…

  • 8 Dalek Phrases
  • Flashing lights and speech
  • Motorised Dalek movement
  • Poseable gun and arm
  • Illuminated eye
  • Handset with dual stick movement control

Humankind has somehow managed to enter the Dalek Asylum – a planet where insane and unruly Daleks are dumped. A spaceship has crash landed rupturing a hole in the planet’s defence shield. If humans can get in, then Daleks can get out!

Plus there’s at least one survivor; Oswin Oswald has sent out a distress signal. Facing his most dangerous enemy, the Doctor and the Ponds must enter the Asylum, rescue Oswin and stop the breach before any insane Daleks can escape into the universe. However, the Doctor discovers a heartbreaking,truth and realises not everyone can be saved…


Exterminate!…

    My son has one of these but it has now developed a fault; it spins around rather than going in straight lines (a bit like in Journeys End!). Before I open it up can anyone advise me if this is likely to be an easy repair?

    Thanks,

    Just a heads up, peeps, this is currently retailing for *29.99* on the TRU site. May be for a short time only, though…

      Bit unfair when I shelled out £50 only a few weeks ago, because there were so few of them. Oh well. You take a chance with all these things, which is why I try and get them as soon as I know.

      I ordered one of these today. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are reduced again at some point in the future. If so, I may well pick up a second one.

      what you have to remember is there are a lot of new buyers that didn’t get the original Dalek so this is all new to them

      not impressed with very, ordered mine at £60 assuming it was an exclusive before they turned up in B&M – they then dropped the price to £48 and as it hadn’t arrived in stock yet i assumed i would get it for that, and guess what, just as they arrive in stock it goes back up to £60 and being as its a new item and in other places for £29.99 (which is not an offer or reduction) that’s terrible – mines going straight back

      Ah yes. Fair comment on the first part. Perhaps if I have more shelf space, I would have got it to add to my army!!!

    I think the BBC are just trying to make more money, by selling a dalek that you can already get but with little black marks on it! If speech is different I will be happy.

      I only got the Dalek Sec 12inch & never saw the original for a decent price. this is a cool design but the only thing that puts me off is the price

    I bought this yesterday, the staff at TRU very kindly kept one for me, I’m very happy with it…, not so happy with the price but its not a big deal really, now I’m just hoping they’ll make the Dalek Ironside & the orange new Dalek in this scale. :0)

      September 7th, 2013 - 11:33am

      I had the same experience from TRU. They were very good. Agree that Ironside and orange Scientist Dalek in this scale would be great.

    • booboo

      September 7th, 2013 - 11:38am

      i think ironside was planned and dropped, presumably it would have needed addition costs but would have been a far bigger seller than this one i would have thought

      Scientist is not in the pipeline ta the Moment but i hope it will be one day

      I’m quite happy with this, still saving up for the 10th Doctor Sonic Remote, but after, definately planning to get something from TRU… Possibly this?

    • The merchandise guru

      September 8th, 2013 - 4:14pm

      I wonder if it still retains the old dr who logo on the remote like the Ironside dalek did or have they updated it to give the impression of asylum dalek???

    • booboo

      September 8th, 2013 - 4:36pm

      It’s the old logo

    • The Pixelated Dalek

      September 15th, 2013 - 5:56pm

      Is the speech on your dalek the same as the old one?

    • booboo

      September 15th, 2013 - 5:59pm

      why do you assume everyone has an “old one”? there are many new buyers that wont ever have bought one before so what speech it has is irrelevant

    • The Living Shadow

      October 25th, 2013 - 10:16pm

      But for us who do already have some, it is relevant!

      The good thing with this Dalek is that they’ve now corrected the skirt issue, it’s no longer too big like it was on the other 12″ Dalek’s, the new British Icon Dalek is correctly made too. :0)

      September 8th, 2013 - 12:34am

      Has the skirt been corrected? I don’t think it has.

    considering we have now see the white paradigm dalek for only £29.99 and this is £49.99 i think its to over priced 🙂
