If you thought the Grinch was bad news, you haven't yet met the Dalek Christmas tree, an alien entity so evil it wants to not only wipe out Christmas, but all of humanity as well. That's one chimney Santa Claus is going to regret sliding down.
Doctor Who's most famous villain has appeared in the abode of Dain Sandoval, a network admin in California. There have been no reports of casualties... yet.… Read more
There have been rumors running around for a while that the next Doctor Who could be a woman. If that's the case, I would recommend accessorizing her with a Dalek or Tardis felt purse.
Etsy seller Krukrustudio uses felt purses and bags as a creative outlet. The purses are crafted in detail from natural felt with linings and zipper openings. These are no mere change purses. The $190 Dalek purse stands over 9 inches high while the $180 Tardis is nearly a foot tall. For $140, you can pick up a slimmer Tardis bag that will hold a 14-inch laptop.… Read more
It's either the heartwarming tale of a man's passionate love for fantasy and adventure or a sad story of a lifetime's income terribly wasted. You get to decide.
Rob Hull of Doncaster, England, has been officially awarded the Guinness World Record for the largest collection of Dalek toys and models. As of this writing, he possesses 571 of the evil alien overlords after 20 years of collecting.
In a real head-scratcher, Hull isn't a fan of the TV series that gave birth to his beloved Daleks, "Doctor Who." According to Guinness, Hull just liked the design of Dalek toys as a child. When his mother refused to get him one, he evidently vowed to own his own plunger-waving army one day.
Hull reportedly torments his long-suffering wife, Dawn, with the collection as it slowly overtakes their home and exterminates any sense of interior design aesthetic.… Read more
One thing had always perplexed me about Daleks. As a "Doctor Who"-watching kid, I contemplated the thorny issue of how they got up stairs. Now, I have the opportunity to do some testing on my very own life-size Dalek.
U.K. company Firebox.com is offering officially licensed Dalek replicas. Each one is more than 5 feet tall and is hand-built to order. A variety of classic colors are available.
Sci-fi fans love to obsess over prop accuracy. Firebox.com uses the original molds and specs from the BBC prop department, so that every nob, plunger-looking attachment, and laser shooter is dead on.
The Dalek replicas won't try to exterminate you, but can get some action out of them by playing with the rotating dome, extendable plunger arm, and casters. I'm imagining taking one of these for a stroll around the neighborhood on a leash.… Read more
Black sneakers are pretty stylish all on their own. It's hard to improve upon basic black.
But if you could, this would be one way to do it: trick them out with hand-painted Daleks from Doctor Who!
Inventive crafty type kelly_bear whipped up these kickin' kicks, complete with the Daleks' signature phrase, "Exterminate!" on the backs.
And while they can't actually exterminate people as far as I know (my brother's shoes can, Daleks or not), they do have one advantage over their inspiration: they can go up stairs.
