It will drive the rest of the family to distraction within minutes of being unwrapped, but a new Dalek mask made of flesh-pink ribbed plastic will be one of the must-have toys this Christmas.
The mask, modelled on a one-eyed Dalek-human hybrid which appeared in the episode Daleks in Manhattan, changes the voice of the wearer to the metallic scream of the doctor’s mortal enemies.
Ahead of a Doctor Who special at Christmas, the range of related toys and games licensed by the BBC is to be further expanded. The company is finalising production of a limited edition radio-controlled Dalek, 18 inches in height, to retail for $200.
The article wanders through holiday gift suggestions – from a remote-controlled dragonfly to the ubiquitous Tamagotchi.
What a dickhead.
It looks like the Flying Spaghetti Monster’s only begotten son.
#1, Hahaha… eeeew….hahahaha. 🙂
an octopus cyclops mask! What’s next seven legged dwarf costume?
The Lucas school of production. It’s not about the movie, but the merchandising.
#4 You have to be a Dr Who fan, including the new series, to appreciate the British Ironic Humor associated with that mask.
The remote controlled dragonfly is a Cat Magnet and subsequent shredded pieces, followed by a Meow? meaning, Ok, I killed it! Now what? (nom nom nom, blak, no taste good)
They need to make a Tamagotchi in JAVA that runs on most cell phones.
Christmas 2007 – Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
#1 >>What a dickhead.
Mine looks nothing like that! What’s the matter with yours?!?! Cipro might clear it up.
Cthulhu!!
#7 – You got an alien dickhead too?
I am glad the Dalek-human hybrid died. It was one of the stupidest Dr. Who aliens EVAR. Exposed brains? Good grief!!
#10, hence my comment on British Irony.
Just like a sketch about a dead parrot 30 years later still gets talked about.
However, Daleks totally succeeded in being creepy. Look how long it took before we found out there was an octopus-like alien living inside, when all those years I thought it was 100% inorganic with the consciousness transferred into it.
The Dalek / Human Hybrid was a joke in a joke.
I’m so surprised Sony didn’t donate an Aibo / K-9 replacement for the new show. Oh yeah, Sony is run by [expletive] people.
K-9 is waaaaaayyyyyy better than an Aibo.
K-9: Destroy pitiful Sony robot dog master?
The Doctor: Good dog!
The Daleks were known to be organic on the inside pretty much from the start.
#13 damn I missed that episode 🙂
#12 Sony missed a golden opportunity. Instead of kicking orange 5cm soccer balls it could have zapped inter-dimensional bad guys.
As Ahnold said in “Predator”, “You are one ugly motherf***er!”
I’d like to see someone wear one to pick up the kids at day care. 🙂
Comes with a genuine lead paint certificate.
you never know what is going to be popular…
