Doctor Who: 11 Utterly Bizarre Toys & Merch You Probably Missed

6. 50th Anniversary Dalek

50th-Dalek

This item hasn€™t even been released yet but the glimpse of it at the London Toy Fair a few weeks ago struck me with horror as the great big alien death machine has well and truly been mini coopered. Looking like a cross between Herbie the Love Bug and a Golden Jubilee Table cloth this utterly tasteless sin against sentient life in the universe made me a little bit sick. It harks back to the Dapol days when Daleks were released in all manner of garish colours, including the glitter range and goes against everything the Daleks stand for. Why would a Dalek that hates all other sentient life adorn itself in the national colours of a tiny, wet little island, where every time they invade, they inevitably end up? My burning hatred for this senseless creation may come from the fact that after the Olympics and the Golden Jubilee I never want to see another Union Jack every again and emigrate to another country. If you want to do a commemorative Dalek, do the sixties colour scheme on a new series Dalek. Honestly, this monster makes €˜Victory of the Daleks€™ look like a tour around an Aston Martin showroom.

My name is Jon, recently graduated media production student. Always on the look out for chances to do what I enjoy and make it count. Writing, filming, animating, editing, radio. My speciality seems to be Doctor Who, years of accumulated knowledge and passion appear to be paying off creatively this being one outlet channel. So thanks for sharing in that with me and offering your support by reading my articles.
