None of the Doctors foes strike fear into viewers as much as the Daleks, the appearance of them on screen had fans across the country ducking behind sofas, even running upstairs for safety (a huge design fault for a race set on world domination). Now you can don your own Dalek voice changing helmet and send a shiver down your own spine as you wander aimlessly uttering "EXTERMINATE" no longer will you have to use the speaking into a fan for the desired effect. This voice changing, sound-effect making, Dalek impersonating creation is the must have item of the moment, its hotter than a curry house on the sun.... It'll set you back just £40 over at Characters website........There isn't a moment to waste, there are comedy moments to create!
We’ve got to admit, chess is a bit boring and we never feel the urge to play the dull game with the black and white board. Now, had someone asked us if we wanted to play with this LEGO Castle Giant Chess Set we might have most definitely would have been persuaded. LEGO has transformed all the plastic pieces into static LEGO characters including wizards, witches, skeleton warriors, dwarfs, trolls, the king and queen of course and loads of other characters too. Forget pawns and rooks, we want to see this lot do battle. It’s the ultimate battle of good versus evil with LEGO characters. It’s available HERE for around £140.
The pair of prankster pigs who appeared on-screen from the fifties to the seventies, leaving questionable quality relics from a licensing era thank goodness long passed. Pinky and Perky are to return, in glorious CGI, we hope with their freinds Ambrose Cat, Basil Bloodhound, Bertie Bonkers the baby elephant, Conchita the Cow, Horace Hare and Vera Vixen. Martin Yaffe have the European rights and will produce a series of figurines, playsets and plush toys under the Born to Play brand and will all have interactive features. Trips down memory lane for some and pigs to play with that aren't Peppa for the young un's.
