DALEK INVASION TIME ZONE PLAYSET

Not being particularly interested in the updated Doctor Who series, I rarely pick up any of the tie in merchandise associated with the current series. I do, however bend that rule when it comes to any interesting toy dealing with those sons of Skaro, the Daleks.

I came across this intriguing 3D cardboard diorama playset by Character Options Ltd featuring a scene from yet another Dalek Invasion of Earth. 

It depicts London in the year 2075AD following the invasion. The backdrop shows the battle damaged Elizabeth Tower. A Dalek emerges from a flying saucer which has landed near a ‘Tran Sys’ underground station.

The Tardis lurks in the background.

Obviously, some assembly is required but the end result isn't bad .

The Dalek in the scene is one of Character Options smaller series 7 figures.  This isn’t included in the set.

The big pull for me is the bonus feature, a rather nicely detailed Dalek Hoverbout.

Worth the cost of the set alone, which, by the way was just under a tenner.

There are three other sets in the series, although none of these feature the Daleks. 

Even though it’s a modern interpretation the whole thing does put me in mind of the sixties and the original Dalek Invasion of Earth!
