Doctor Who: Remote Control Dalek Drone (13 Inch Version)

Forbidden Planet

Many years ago, the Daleks sent out thousands of egg-shaped Progenitors containing the genetic coding of the race, so that new Daleks could be created whenever necessary. One of these Progenitors was found in war-torn England during the Second World War and transported to a Dalek ship.

However, because the Daleks that found it had been genetically modified by their creator Davros, using his own DNA, the Progenitor did not acknowledge them as pure Daleks, until the Doctor identified them as such and the Progenitor created a new race of powerful Daleks as a result. These Daleks were led by the white-cased Supreme, the red-coloured Drones, the enigmatically titled yellow cased Eternal, blue cased Strategists and orange Scientists.

This fully functional radio controlled 13” Dalek Drone includes a handset with ‘Dual Stick’ movement control, 10 Dalek phrases and exterminator gun sound effect, activated using the five button sound selector. Also includes an illuminated eye, poseable gun and arm.

Dalek requires 4 x AA included.
Controller requires 1 x 9V not included.

Due for release from Forbidden Planet on the 4th August.

Den Of Geek has Doctor Who: in support of Matt Smith, no, he’s not David Tennant, but that’s rightly how the show works. He’s an entirely different take on the same character, and has done quite outstanding work for my money. I distinctly remember too that David Tennant has his fair share of detractors in his first series run, and many of those were won over. Those expecting a Tennant photocopy in the casting of the 11th Doctor? I'm glad they've been disappointed.

This price is valid for the stated 24 hours only. So, if you’re missing anything from The Sirens of Time up until Zagreus, this is a unique opportunity to catch up.
• “We’re aware that some Doctor Who fans have never tried Big Finish,” says executive producer Jason Haigh-Ellery. “And we’re also aware that some people have the more recent titles but have never dipped into the back catalogue. This is a chance for them to do so.”
• For anyone who already has those 50 titles, there’s still plenty to enjoy on Big Finish Day. We’ll be releasing – for free, and for one day only – episode one of Cobwebs, the start of the new trilogy that reunites the Fifth Doctor with Tegan, Turlough and Nyssa for the first time in 26 years.
• “We were thrilled that Janet has elected to join the Big Finish fold,” says executive producer Nicholas Briggs, “and I can promise that this trilogy of Cobwebs, The Whispering Forest and The Cradle of the Snake will delight all fans of that era. On Big Finish Day, you’ll get a chance to hear an early preview of that brilliant TARDIS crew in action.”
• As well as additional sale items, the Big Finish website will be offering a selection of wallpapers for download, featuring some of Alex Mallinson’s most inspired artwork.

Also listen to the Big Finish Day Podcast, a short podcast to prove it! Nick Briggs is all alone in the office with a microphone. What mayhem will ensue? One thing's for sure, there's plenty in the podcast to remind you of Big Finish's finest Doctor Who moments.

BBC says there's no Doctor Who movie in the works plus more news and reviews...

io9 has The BBC says there's no Doctor Who movie in the works. Not even with Johnny
Depp, you can scratch that rumor about Johnny Depp starring in a big-screen Doctor Who extravaganza. We checked with the BBC, and a rep says there are "no plans" for a Who movie, and any talk is "pure speculation."

SFX also has Johnny Depp Versus The Daleks – UPDATED, we can categorically put this one to bed now, having spoken to Russell T Davies himself. It’s all rubbish. “Someone sits in New Zealand”, he wearily told us (except with a few more expletives), “Types out a rumour, and I spend the next three days dealing with that rumour!”

SciFi Pulse has Gaiman ‘Doctor Who’ Episode To Air Third In The Run, it’s no secret that Neil Gaiman is a little bit of a tease when it comes to his Doctor Who episode, and it seems that he continues to go on teasing.
