PRODUCT OVERVIEW 6.5'' Talking Dalek figures. Poseable head dome, eyestalk, gun and manipulator arm. A button between the arms is pressed to activate speech, which shows the Daleks' flashing lights (red on most models). DETAILS Released in waves, these Daleks come in a huge variety of colours, but all feature the same basic shape; later waves featured different voice chips. There's also a packaging difference on the boxes between the first wave and all the other waves - the earlier boxes read 'Doctor Who and the' [talking Daleks logo] written in a somewhat comic-book font.
