Doctor Who Ride In 6v Blue/Red Dalek – Video
Doctor Who – Ride In 6v Blue Dalek
Dalek Evolution comes to the Battery Powered Ride-in Market…
The most popular character from the No.1 BBC Science Fiction Show, Dr Who is here! The day of the Daleks has finally arrived with an amazing first for Welsh Toy Company Kids@Play as they launch the first ever Ride-in Dalek toy for children, distributed by Zappies Ltd. Using a unique and patented concept of an inflatable body attached to a high density plastic base, the Kids@Play innovative design team have come up with a safe, strong and exciting toy which meets all the new essential safety standards.
BBC Worldwide says “we have always dreamed of developing a Ride-in toy Dalek, but no-one had previously been able to achieve this for us. We are so excited by the Kids@Play project; this will be an industry first for us”.
Dalek Design:
The Dalek body is made from a mixture of ballistic nylon/laminated rubberised polyvinyl which is soft and tactile to the touch. This makes the Ride-in very durable, structurally safe, tear resistant and easy to inflate and assemble. The Dalek has a 6v battery powered motor which gives 360 degree steering and
a maximum speed of 3km per hour. The battery is re-chargeable and comes complete with country specific charger. The steering wheel has 10 authentic Dalek phrases that are button activated. The ride-in comes with flashing lights for an atmospheric glow, giving the child the maximum realistic feeling of being in the Dalek and moving around like a Dalek.
The Ride-in is surrounded by a soft bumper to protect furniture and is suitable for both indoors and outdoors activity (providing there is a flat surface). Age ranges are 3 years to 6 years old, with a 30kgs maximum child weight. The Ride-in comes in 2 parts – a motorised base and inflatable body section. An In-store video will be available for promotions.
This astounding ‘ride in’ Dalek stands over 50″ tall and arrives complete with 360 degree movement, 10 sounds ‘n phrases, lights inside the sitting unit plus comes with 6v rechargeable battery.
Let your kids go exterminate at will! Recommended for children aged 3-6 years.
At the moment just Red and Blue are planned.
Zappies launched the Dalek at The Toy Trade Fair, Olympia 25-27 January.

January 12th, 2011 - 7:56pmThey have changed the colour via the “Hue” in something like photoshop as its the same image by the looks so it will change the eye colour as well

Dalek ironside
January 12th, 2011 - 1:27amI doubt it could be made for that, these days if something is £200 then its £40 vat on that ( is their vat on children toys? ) so they would have to make it for £160, compared to the Dalek suits of old these are fantastic

Angel Tim
January 11th, 2011 - 9:42pm£199.99? 😯 ! WHAT!!!!!!!! Who would buy that for £200???????!!!!!! (minus 1 penny. 😆 ) I mean will it sell? If it was cheaper like £150 or £100,it would be better but can’t you just use one at an arcade?

Dalekdragon
January 11th, 2011 - 5:24pmNow that is cool. Are you going to paint the bottom when you get a chance? Anyway, I think the product looks cool. Bit expensive, and I’m 6 foot one (Only 14 years old) But if I ever have kids, they’re getting one :Smile:
booboo

January 11th, 2011 - 4:43pm@Booboo, no offence here, but i have built a full sized genesis dalek and it only cost just over £150 in total.
booboo
January 11th, 2011 - 5:09pmWe have build a full size NSD and i cost several hundred pounds, if people want to ave ago at a product and say they can make a full size one for £200 then lets see it.
booboo
January 11th, 2011 - 10:21amShow it to us when its finished then, i would love to see what you come up with for £200
FormerPM
January 11th, 2011 - 10:18amThese look like Little Tikes cars with some electrics and a butchered blow-up Dalek from 2004 in Paradigm colours.
I won’t be getting these even if they do make larger ones, at £200 I could build a full sized Dalek AND buy another blow-up one.
g-banger

dr daddy cool 67
January 10th, 2011 - 8:47pmFANTASTIC ! I can see my children in the driveway driving up and down in these.. they remind me of a bit like bumper cars. Any idea how much they could be??
The Pandorica
January 10th, 2011 - 8:42pmWrong audience! Most children that age won’t watch Doctor Who and children that age have those battery powered sports cars-their parents won’t buy them a dalek that does the same thing. They should have these for a older audience,like seven plus or something.
