THE TUMBLING LUNAR MONSTER

 

I recently discussed this Tumbling Lunar Monster with Arto.

It was made by K of Hong Kong. Anyone know the K brand?

Its a sort of weeble.

Yet the face seems familiar.

It reminds me of Professor Popkiss in Fireball XL5!

Am I seeing things again!

Do you like the tumbling monster?

ROLYKIN DALEKS

Watching Woodsy's little movie put me in mind of some old friends - Daleks.  In particular Marx Rolykin Daleks.

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.
