C is for Current

In the shops now is another take on the Dalek freebee, and from the usual source; Dr Who Adventures magazine. I'm not sure why it's called 'Dalek Attack Set' but it catches the eye! Are they putting Daleks on the cover again because sales are falling, or because there's a new series of Dr. Who coming with Dalek episodes? The cynic in me wants to know! Manufactured/imported by Xcel Concepts.

The paint brush and 'key-ring' are really lame, a couple of PVA paints though, are always useful while the bouncy-not-a-ball is actually a lot of fun. The murder-machine-man is approximately 54mm as can be seen from the figure comparison bottom-right "Take that - you over-blown dustbin!" as I seem to recall Bernard Cribbins shouting once in a similar situation....sans fireman's helmet!

Next week (on sale a week yesterday) they have another 'Army' of the 25/28mm figures including one each of the two uncommon ones. Have a nice Bank Holiday if you live in a country that's having one this weekend, winter starts any day now!
