The Daleks

You can't go wrong with a Dalek toy. You just can't. They have gotten everywhere - die hard fans have them and casual collectors have them. And they come in so many sizes and functions. Character Options knew this full well when they got the line and they have managed to pump out every variation that ever there was on the screen with pretty decent accuracy; as luck would have it for CO's sales division, the Daleks would change their look up in subtle ways once they started showing up in colour episodes. I have not had to do much to customize any of the Dalek toys aside from a repaint here and there to provide a variation for the collection and one to make their colouring a bit more accurate.

The TARDIS lands on the planet Skaro and emerge into a petrified forest, the result of a thermonuclear war. I recreated it with masonry sand and some trimmings from an invasive vine I cut off the side of my house.


 Thanks to Action Figure Theatre I've been able to recreate a set from their first episode, The Dead Planet although I would like to expand it to make it more of a slice of a city with more corridors, a few different levels and use the brilliant control room set they created. Trouble is this style of  Dalek, the original, is not easy to come by anymore so I wouldn't be able to staff it properly. In time, though...
