more knobrot iDaleks...

I can't imagine anyone following this doesn't already know about these... but this weeks Doctor Who Adventures magazine has yet more iDalek figures as a freebie.... 17 of the buggers this time, as opposed to 5 previously...

you get 5 orange (although a strange orange) Scientists, 5 red Drones, 1 white Supreme, 1 yellow Eternal and 5 blue Strategists (the Supreme and Eternal being unique amongst Daleks)... as you can see there are some gaps, so like before will need popping apart and realigning, but that shouldn't be a problem...

and of course, they are a perfect match again, the older release (orange again, just not a strange orange) has a rounder dome which matches the prop better, the new releases have a lower tommy helmet shaped dome which is odd as otherwise the models are identical... the new release also seems to have slightly crisper detail as well... not sure why the dome change, perhaps it signals a slight redesign for the 2012 series and they are getting in the change early... dunno...

oh and while I remember, they are too big for 25mm slottas... as they were before and should be with that massive bumper... you can however get 30mm slottas from EM4 which do the job nicely...

next weeks issue is Cybermen and Sontarans, but they look crap...
