Doctor Who 12″ British Icon Dalek
Available to order from www.forbiddenplanet.com
For the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, what could be better for collectors than his ultimate foe in truly British styling; Character unveils its Doctor Who 12-inch British Icon Dalek
ultimate Doctor Who collectable 12-inch Dalek has been produced exclusively in Doctor Who’s 50th anniversary year. Beautifully displayed in the Union Flag, it celebrates the Daleks as a British icon and is ideal gift for all Doctor Who fans. This limited edition freewheeling Dalek features poseable arm, head and eye while us having the ability to voice 10 Dalek phrases with lights and sound FX.
The Daleks were created by the Kaled scientist, Davros as travel machines. Davros had deduced that the years of radiation and chemical poisoning from an ongoing war would lead his race to mutate into immobile organisms. The Dalek travel machines would house these creatures and allow the Kaleds to survive.
In the course of his experiments however, Davros deliberately removed what he considered to be debilitating emotions from the mutants and a force of evil was spawned!
Suitable for ages 5 years and over it will be a must have for the many generations of fans that the Timelord has gained in the past 5 decades.

July 11th, 2013 - 10:02pmCool! This must have been the secret product. It’s a shame its really expensive.
Sam Bentley
July 11th, 2013 - 10:04pmNo, this is not the secret product as it was at the Toy Fair (or whatever event it was). The secret product was not shown there.
booboo
July 11th, 2013 - 10:04pmno this isn’t the secret product
Sam Bentley
July 11th, 2013 - 10:06pmThough, saying that, I could be wrong. I’m wrong a lot of the time to be honest.
TheIrishGallifreyan
July 16th, 2013 - 12:34pmIt’s probably a classic console set.
Ian
July 11th, 2013 - 9:53pmI thought it was remote control. Be nice in 5″
The Master
July 11th, 2013 - 9:36pmwill this be available in Australia?
Da Big Friendly Button
July 11th, 2013 - 9:07pmNothing says British icon like a union jack Dalek.
Sam Bentley
July 11th, 2013 - 9:54pmThe thing is, a Union Jack Dalek actually translates to British Icon.
Okay, maybe it’s not a direct translation, but it makes sense all the same!
the mr master
July 11th, 2013 - 8:44pmcan you pre-order it??
booboo
July 11th, 2013 - 8:48pmno yet
the astronaut of death

Jayk
July 11th, 2013 - 8:15pmNot buying as its not Remote Controlled.I wouldn’t mind a 3.75″ or 5″ Counterpart
Dalek sec
July 15th, 2013 - 9:11amIt would be awesome if there was a 5 inch talking dalek version of this.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
July 11th, 2013 - 8:02pmWould be funny if they did re-working of the ‘God save the Queen’ lyrics –
God save our gracious Emperor Dalek!
Long live our noble Emperor Dalek!
God save the Emperor Dalek!
Send him victorious,
Deadly and glorious,
Long to rule supreme over us:
God save The Emperor Dalek!
the astronaut of death

Jamie
July 11th, 2013 - 7:21pmI actually like the look of it. It’s just a shame it’s 39.99 and isn’t remote controlled.
Edward L Richter
July 11th, 2013 - 7:21pmI WANT ONE! How do I order one?
Dalek The Supreme
July 11th, 2013 - 7:19pmLooks great, but I won’t get it, what with all the Doctor Dalek two packs, new scale figures, and Classic Diorama packs coming out.
booboo
July 11th, 2013 - 7:19pmClassic Diorama packs are cancelled
itdalek
July 11th, 2013 - 7:25pmWhy them as well or is it the same as the 11 doctor’s set 2?
Trenzalore
July 11th, 2013 - 7:17pmIt says in the writing that it is limited edition do we know how limited yet?
Matt Smithy
July 11th, 2013 - 6:49pmNot going to lie… I think it looks horrible. The colours are all off, and I don’t really see what the union flag has to do with Doctor Who itself! I’m giving this a miss…
Sam Bentley
July 11th, 2013 - 6:56pmMaybe because it is the most iconic British TV show ever?
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
July 11th, 2013 - 7:11pmagree with Matt Smithy
Sam Bentley
July 11th, 2013 - 7:14pmWell, I understand it and think this is a superb piece of merchandise.
josh smith
July 11th, 2013 - 7:21pmi think its great. this will look so much better in hand. The union jack is to do with everything.
Trenzalore
July 11th, 2013 - 7:24pmI think that he union jack is a good thing; its a british programme that we are all proud of and we want to celebrate that fact anyway what’s better boring bronze of exiting red white and blue?
josh smith
July 11th, 2013 - 8:14pmi love England and Dr who
Matt Smithy
July 11th, 2013 - 8:49pmI understand the hole iconicness thing, but I just think if they were going to do something like this, make it a bit more subtle. I would have made it a bit more representative of the show itself, and maybe done a “victory of the daleks” with the union jack (but to be perfectly honest I think the 2013 in the ID tag looks pretty good). I just think all the blues and reds are too much. What they could have done is make a dalek, but at different points it “morphs” into other daleks from the history. with a 2005 head, paradigm neck, classic skirt..
Da Big Friendly Button
July 11th, 2013 - 8:56pmThe reason why the union jack is used on the Dalek is because Doctor who is made in britain and the daleks were also designed by ray cusick who is british and the Daleks are seen as British icon.
Trenzalore
July 11th, 2013 - 9:00pmno, I think it would look a bit of a mess with all the daleks mixed together
Matt Smithy
July 11th, 2013 - 10:26pmyea, that was my main worry, it would be a bit of a mess. And big friendly button, I know they are British, and Ray Cusick is British, but I highly doubt that’s why they did that. While I can see why people like it, I do fid it a bit horrible…the red, THE RED!
Britains Got Tacky
July 12th, 2013 - 7:03pmYou said it, Smithy. This is one tacky Kaled.
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
July 14th, 2013 - 7:35pmBritains Got Tacky, it’s true.
josh smith
July 11th, 2013 - 6:49pmthis is a must buy!
lol imagine these in WW2
Dalek: Hitler you will be exterminated!
Hitler: vas?
Dalek: EXTERMINATE!
Hitler: NEIN NEIN NEIN!
Trenzalore
July 11th, 2013 - 7:09pmer…. I’m not sure where you got that from but… okay… 😆
Dalek The Supreme
July 11th, 2013 - 7:16pmThey were already in WWII, shooting down German fighters and serving tea.
josh smith
July 11th, 2013 - 7:20pmthey were ironsides i mean these proper union jack ones
76 Totters Lane
July 11th, 2013 - 6:44pmPrefer the prototype one at the toy fair with the red bit in the middle going all the way around the Dalek and the 50 logo on the sides. Still like this one, though.
Stevennnnn
July 11th, 2013 - 6:44pmI absolutely HAVE to get this. Absolutely outstanding piece of 50th merchandising.
itdalek
July 11th, 2013 - 6:40pmI smell 11 doctor’s set 2 and classic diorama sets coming soon and something else very specail!
josh smith
July 11th, 2013 - 6:46pmthe 11 doctor set 2 has been cancelled.
itdalek
July 11th, 2013 - 6:47pmBut doesn’t mean we won’t see some rather interesting stuff!
josh smith
July 11th, 2013 - 6:50pmyes i hope to see a peri in bikini lol.
or at lest lots of classic sets
itdalek
July 11th, 2013 - 6:58pmAlso why was the 2nd 11doctors set cancelled as the one I heard didn’t really explain at all
booboo
July 11th, 2013 - 7:03pmnot enough retailers ordered it basically
itdalek
July 11th, 2013 - 7:15pmShame they couldn’t just do it as a UT and forbidden planet exclusive, well they could always do it in a few years as that but also with a john hurt doctor and the next one, better later than never
booboo
July 11th, 2013 - 7:18pmthe problem is with the variants planned it would have had to have been mass market to justify the new tooling i would think
Andrew
July 11th, 2013 - 7:18pm^ That is still a possibility, im sure some of us, especially me will buy at least one if not two.
josh smith
July 11th, 2013 - 7:21pmbooboo and i think not many people will buy it as much as the first one.
itdalek
July 11th, 2013 - 7:27pmTrue but does not mean they should not just release it or do the variants in other sets with big selling figure and it will!
Ian
July 11th, 2013 - 6:35pmSomeone told me there was going to be a 5″ version as well, is that true?
cool guy doctor
July 11th, 2013 - 6:33pmhow much will it cost
steve
July 11th, 2013 - 6:24pmLooks like they used the old moulds. I guess the ‘new’ Dalek shape wasn’t so popular!
Trenzalore
July 11th, 2013 - 6:22pmWill get it as a souvenir of the 50th anniversary
thehostproductions
July 11th, 2013 - 6:20pmi may be getting this! is it still limted edition from what it said at the toy fair?
The Greater Intelligence
July 11th, 2013 - 6:16pmI know I ask this a lot, but will they sell it in America (ask a dumb question)?
josh smith
July 11th, 2013 - 6:46pmunion jack not British flag but i do like it as well.
