While my interest in Doctor Who cooled pretty quickly after the great Tom Baker departed I still had an affection for those sons of Skaro.
Nostalgic sixties Dalekmania plays a large part in my enjoyment, with those two garish Amicus Dalek movies being top of the list.
I believe the inch high Rolykin Daleks were possibly the first toy daleks to be released with over a million being sold by the end of 1965.
Costing the princely sum of one shilling way back when, these little beauties had that lovely inaccurate design which was prevalent in books and comics at the time.
Available in silver, red and black, with the latter rumoured to be the rarest.
Ah another toy from my bucket list!
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky enough to have 5 original Rolykins - 3 silver, 1 black & 1 red - plus a box (from which I've made replicas). The later Product Enterprise versions, although more accurate, weren't quite as good in the rolling department as the '60s originals.
ReplyDeleteWow! Those are excellent!
ReplyDeleteI have 27 if anybody interested £1000
