?From Firebox:

The Dalek Replica is hand-built to order, using the original moulds and specifications from the BBC Props Department. Officially licensed
by the Beeb, it stands at a life-sized 5’3″ tall, comes in a range of
classic colours and has a whole range of features to play with.


The arms are mounted on ball joints, allowing them to be moved – or
wiggled in rage, as was more common. The plunger arm can be extended in
and out and the iconic dome can be rotated 360?. What’s
more, inset casters in the base let you move it around with ease. But
we know what you really want to ask – can I ride in it?

And the answer is – no! Unfortunately. This faithful replica is built in exactly the same way as the ones appearing on TV.
Which means they’re not made for driving to the shops. But what you get
instead is a Dalek that looks and feels exactly like the ones that used
to have you running to your mum, or fosbury flopping over the sofa to
safety.

I have no clue what a fosbury is, but I do know you don’t need to be a Doctor Who fan to appreciate the awesomeness of getting what is essentially an actual, life-size TV prop made by the same people with the same materials in the same way — and you get to pick the colors! That’s pretty goddamned amazing. Of course, such authenticity doesn’t come cheap — each custom Dalek costs
?3000, which is like a million bajillion U.S. dollars (or maybe something closer to $5200). But free delivery! If you’re a Who-ligan with way too much disposable income, you can order it here. And if you have that much money, why not send your ol’ pal Topless Robot a little love, too, Mr. Moneybags? Thanks to Scott J. for the tip.
