      it never spoke in the episode, only fired its cannon

    • DOCTOR WHO ONE

      May 4th, 2013 - 9:24pm

      Yeah, in ‘Remembrance of the Daleks’ it only appears briefly for a few scenes destroying some renegade Daleks while the Imperial Daleks capture the Hand of Omega from the renegades, and does not speak during any scenes what so ever, nor has it ever been known that a Special Weapons Gunner Dalek can speak or not like the usual Dalek’s do.

      its because the SWD has no meaning in the dalek world, it was basically a life less shell that was made by davros or the daleks to defeat any enemy, there was living thing inside it, its was nothing just a killer, it will probably make a shooting noise, but i dont think 100% that these are even real and doming into the SFX range because the whole point of them was that they could speak, so what is the point of having a non speaking dalek for SFX, yep people would want it, but just re-release it!!!

      SORRY, it wasn’t meant to be ‘I don’t know’ it was meant to be ‘I don’t think so’.

    • DoctorWhoFan101

      May 5th, 2013 - 8:38am

      I just think it makes shooting noises but no speech…

    I hope this is released soon and its not another exclusive.

    So do you think they just won’t make as many of the rare figures? Seems a stupid idea as you can see the figure so it won’t make us buy more in the chance of getting one, much better if they were all the same rareness!

      Awwww man! I thought it would be 3.75″. If it was I would 100% be buying it. Now that I’ve found out it’s 5″ I probably won’t buy it…

      I’d love it to be released in 5″ (which it already is being released in) and 3.75″.

    • Tardispals

      May 5th, 2013 - 2:48pm

      Hahaha i know i really do hope they continue to release the 5inch wave as they are the ones we have been frantically collecting! However, i bet the new wave will be just as gd it better be aha

    This ‘different and special’ Dalek with the 3rd Doctor…Do you think it could have the same element the Genetic hand print Dalek did, where you head it up slightly and it changes colour to an invisible style paint job? If you get what I mean. That would be special and different.

    the idea of rare figures is a bit annoying its great to get rare varients but id really hoped to get all the 3.75 scale figures released so i have the complete set of them and the rare ones will make it harder to get them all and theyll probably be fetching loads on ebay

    not sure whether to get this or not i have the original ill get it if the sounds are good though but do you reckon it will still be able to rotate around

      May 4th, 2013 - 7:17pm

      I imagine it will rotate if character can fit the sound thing in the skirt of the dalek

  • Doctor 909

    May 4th, 2013 - 4:42pm

    OMG, looks like this will be the best wave and I really hope they keep the wave the same as the toy fair because I really want the supreme dalek from remembrance as well as the Ironside.

    OH FANTASTIC !!!!!!!! Ive wanted this son of a cannon [literally !! 😀 ] in my Dalek collection for ages, and was really disappointed when a staff member at Forbidden Planet in London told me Character Options no longer produce the set that this figure originally came in, but to have it with added sound effects is the bomb !!!! 😀

    Hope they do the same with Davros as the Imperial Emperor Dalek, he is one I would also love to own in my Dalek Collection !!!!! 😀

      True, i guess we’ll just have to hope the variants aren’t too rare.

      Oh not again? Please tell me we still have the Supreme from Planet coming, I know its been released in a set, but its rare, my favourite dalek, and I really want it hehe??

  • Judooning

    May 4th, 2013 - 3:10pm

    What could the FX noises be for the Special Weapons Dalek I wonder? There are not that many noises it could make, so maybe some general phrases from the episode by the 7th Dr perhaps?

    Reply
    • booboo

      May 4th, 2013 - 3:13pm

      could be, that would be good

      or some of the music whilst it was in action – doubt they could do it but that would be different

    • Andrew

      May 4th, 2013 - 4:33pm

      Do you think they should split the 70s and 80s sounds? Would help with daleks like supremes from remembrance and ressurection?

      Its from Planet of The Daleks and is a very unusual variant

    • JAMIE

      May 4th, 2013 - 3:03pm

      If its not invisible and it’s not a supreme I can’t image what it will be? Is it partly invisible from when the dr spray paints it? Or is it all yellow from that behind the scenes photo?!
