One thought on “DOCTOR WHO 5″ SOUND FX DALEK: ‘DALEK INVASION OF EARTH’ (5+)”
This action figure is a really good, appropriately sturdy recreation of the Daleks that appeared in ‘Dalek Invasion of Earth’ – a classic Doctor Who episode starring William Hartnell. This Dalek also featured in ‘Asylum of the Daleks’ starring Matt Smith.The joints on the figure are sturdy (though will loosen with frequent play) fitted quite snugly, a great improvement on the New Paradigm and Progenitor Guardian Daleks which were flimsy and horribly loose.The phrases from the Dalek sound like Nicholas Briggs rather than the voice of the original Daleks, but this is fair enough and Briggs has a great voice for Daleks. The phrases are taken from the general era rather than a precise episode and are shared word-for-word with the ‘Power of the Daleks’ Dalek. Pressing the sound button twice causes the Dalek to cry “Exterminate!” which is followed by the original Dalek gun sound effect from that era, a nice piece of nostalgia for older fans and an intriguing variation for younger fans.The dish on the back appears slightly more shallow than it should be, but I could be remembering incorrectly. This does little to detract from the majesty of this imposing space-Nazi however.In short, a great action figure.
