. . . although that's almost sad, as one
feels it should be made-up to patrol a mantelpiece or display-cabinet shelf,
someplace, gravelly uttering the iconic 'Exterminate'!
Original price 20p! I know what I'd do with
a time machine and it doesn't involve dinosaurs, Alexander the Great,
Shakespeare or the pyramids, it involves a quick trip to Webb's News, circa 1965!
Although pence is a '70's pricing...hummm, ohgod! It was reduced to clear!!!!
This is another 'guest post' courtesy of
Brian Berke for which I am only providing the blurb!
Only 16 parts including 3 wire-axles it
could be completed in five minutes I recon! Ten with trimming/fettling of flash
. . . although I can't see any!
It's faintly amusing that the artwork gets
the head so right and the body so wrong, while the kit gets the body correct
and then fails on the head-shape? Brexit and Remain, Trump and Clinton, educated liberal or grumpy fish-wife, we all want a better
World, a better Britain or a better life, but oh boy; are we absolutely going to build a dog's breakfast!
Basically it's the commercial battery-operated
model (also by Marx) offered as a
kit, I don't know if it came first, or if there are the battery lever slots in
the back of the body - there don't appear to be any locating slots, shelves or
attachment-points for the battery housing, wires or mechanism on the interior
walls of the moulding, so I'm guessing the kit came first, and then Marx produced the 'readymade'?
The Crescent 'scale'ing' berserker (seconded
to UNIT of course!) gets his ore in early, while the Dalek is still asleep! It's
a big toy when assembled and we looked at some dodgy photographs by yours truly a while ago here.

What would America do with a few Dalek’s roaming around raising havoc? Exterminate, exterminate, exterminate! It would be a jolly good show, like having a rerun of past political season all over again. Oh my!
Jan; a Private eMailer has already suggested your idea has merit!
