Voice Command Dalek
Posted in For Guys, For Kids, Gear, Toys
Daleks have for the past half a millions years or so been hell bent on universal conquest and destruction, which seems slightly counter-intuitive, but there you go. Fortunately for everyone else in the universe, a mutant Kaled pottering about in a dustbin with an egg whisk and a sink plunger stuck onto it has not aided their progress much. Of course that old chestnut, the invention of the stairs, rather scuppered their plans. This is of course just as well, seeing as someone has, possibly inadvisably, invented a Dalek that is considerably more adept, interactive and powerful than Dr Who's original nemesis.
The Voice Controlled Dalek is a new generation of galactic evil. Standing a mighty foot and a half high, he's able to track moving objects, and as well as you being able to direct him by radio control, he responds to over 30 voice commands. Complete with sound, movement and heat sensors, he's festooned with sound and light effects, and his memory banks store over 50 Dalek phrases (helpfully translated into gargled English). His 'Eye' and 'Exterminator' arm light up, and his head can rotate through 270 degrees - which steals the thunder from owls somewhat. He has a bevy of special operational modes, such as 'Seek Locate', 'Follow Me' and 'Guard Room', making him a handy sentinel to have round the house.
No doubt The Doctor would give his scarf and hat to have such a subservient and useful Dalek to guard the Tardis for him, sadly clothes have never really caught on as a viable currency round here and he'll need to dig a bit deeper than that. It's important however that the rest of us take control of these more subservient and obedient Voice Command Interactive Daleks, so that the real one's can't make a comeback. Perhaps a pair would be a good idea, though as yet there's no reported success of their breeding in captivity - do let us know if you have any luck, it would be a world first.
