'DALEK CHRISTMAS' - 1964 AD

Here's some pictures  of various Dalek merchandise that came out towards the end of 1964 for the 'Dalek Christmas', and into 1965.


The second Dalek serial was showing on BBC 1, The Dalek Invasion of Earth. It had starting on the 21st November and would continue until 26th December. This Louis Marx battery operated Dalek coming out just in time for Christmas.


This friction drive version is from 1965.


This Dalek badge appeared in 1964.

Like the friction drive Dalek, plenty of items went on sale following Christmas. This game, Dodge the Daleks coming out in 1965.


Painting by numbers game. The Dalek artwork very similar to that The Dalek Book cover.


Another popular sixties toy, the bagatelle.


And,finally for now, lovely evocative  artwork from the Dalek Shooting Game.

  3. Great artwork.

    I wonder if Richard Jennings, who did the colour work in the Annuals and some of the Cadet cards and sweet cigarettes box produced a reference sheet for other artists?
