4.0 out of 5 stars Looks great, needs a peaceful environment, 5 Oct 2008
By L. Hennessy "rapidly gaining weight" (Twickenham) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 
Where to start - due to my own stupidity, I didn't get the right batteries: you need four D-sizedDuracell Battery Plus D Pack of 4 75051882, a square one for the remote Duracell Plus MN1604 Battery Alkaline 9V Ref 75051888 [Pack 2]and at least 4 AA onesDuracell Plus Battery Alkaline 1.5V AA Ref MN1500B8 [Pack 8]


The day it arrived, we spent nearly 30 minutes taking it out of the box - it's got securing wires attached to specially-designed holes in the Dalek itself, which could probably restrain King Kong if he ever foound himself wronglly-packed into a toy Dalek's box. So remember to get a small paire of thin wirecutters: Automatic Wire Stripper & Cutter For Single Strand & Ribbon Cable

The day after it arrived, I bought the batteries.

The day after that, I realized that I didn't have a small-enough Phillips screwdriver so had to rush out to buy oneMini Philips Screwdriver.

The day after that I finall realized why it wasn't powering up - it was because there's a hidden (well it was to me!) battery compartment UNDER the place where the D batteries go. Yes, I really am that stupid.

But you can take this review seriously. No really. The toy works as it says, but the main problem is that the voice recognition hardware needs a quiet environment to ooperate within. Even then, the speaker has to be patient because he or she will have to wait for the dalek's head lights to flash, indicating that the words have been understood. This combination of room conditions is unlikely to be encountered by the normal Amazon-going parent, especially ones who have just bought his child a radio-controlled Dalek.

In a perfect world, the motors powering the wheels would be quieter - it sounds more like one of Steven Hawking's vehicles rather than a cold-blooded killing machine from the future.

The toy looks perfect - I'm no Dr. Who fanatic (a Whooie?), but it's a convincing replica - my son loves the series and I can testify to this as we went to the Dr. Who exhibition at Earl's Court - the addition of a real laser pointer for the laserbeam rather than just a light would be a great (but potentially dangerous) addition, but one that I'd think was still worth doing!!!

It's easy to steer, with a big round button to trigger a random sentence of speech. All the production budget seems to have gone on the Dalek itself, because the controller looks really cheap - one-colour black plastic where you can make out the swirls that were created as it set in the mold.

So for £50 (the price I paid) it's a great purchase. Check out the same toy listed on Amazon in centimeters, as it can sometimes be cheaper. I winced slightly when my son first tore into the box, as I a) feared for the reliability of the thing), and b) unrealistically wanted to somehow keep it in pristine condition, as I reckon this is easily going to be a classic toy for collectors in a few years' time - I don't think that many have been sold either.

So if you're able to afford to splash a pink note out for a toy, get the Dalek - you'll end up playing with it as much as the recipient. Heed my stupidity, and enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is fantastic!, 28 Dec 2007
By Doctor Who fan (Penperlleni, Monmouthshire) - See all my reviews
Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 
Any Doctor Who fan will love this dalek - it has provided us with hours of fun. It responds well to spoken commands and trundles around the house searching out intruders and exterminating them!!! One of the best interactive toys I have come across - not cheap but worth the money!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't work, 16 Jan 2008
By Martin Ansell "thesweeney" (Middlesbrough) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 
I've had 2 of these now they simply don't work, the dalek responds to some commands but in a random fashion. An example would be "Dalek"; "YES" "do you recognise the Doctor?" 9no response. or "Dalek"; "YES"; "game mosde" dalek then spins in a random circle and points in a random direction, usually not at any child at all. Most other commands don't work at all the Dalek usually goes into patrol mode after a while and then becomes fixated on a table leg. A very disapointing product, I contacted the manufacturers customer service 2 weeks ago and they have yet to respond. Certainly i don't think it is worth any more than £50
