The Dapol re-issues were based on the 2nd 1960s Marx version (issued not too long after the first), and had thinner waists and slightly more accurate appendages. The Dapol one took different sized batteries, had a different bump 'n' go mechanism, and was switched on and off from the underside rather than from the back. Also, at first the flashing light was just draped loosely over a bit of waste plastic fitted randomly inside the neck, until I advised Dapol of a better way of doing it. The other Dalek you're talking about is by Cherilea, and was available only from Woolworths. There's a pic of one on my blog somewhere.

My favourite daleks were little plastic ones that could be taken apart but the Marx one could move so that was a plus. Are the modern re-issues true to the Marx original I wonder?WOODSYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456645970983569001noreply@blogger.com
