Denys fisher Dalek

[www.doyouremember.co.uk]

In the 1970's i really liked Doctor Who and one day my grandmother Rita bought me the Denys fisher talking Dalek, it was a red plastic thing complete with eye stalk and sucker arm and gun, it had about five messages that were on the little disc (or record) and i would have great fun playing it and pressing the button on its dome to make it talk.Just some of the messages were something like, '' what are your orders'' and (of course) ''exterminate'' I have long since lost the components for it but i still do have it, though quite battered but i keep it for sentimental reasons as now my grandmother has sadly passed away.

I may be wrong but I don't think the red talking Dalek was the Denys Fisher one, I had one too, it had a black button on the head and the sucker looked my lke a radar dish. The Denys Fisher version didn't talk and looked completely wrong (I had one of those too) like the nose on the Denys Fisher Cyberman!

Actually Palitoy BRADGATE (the wholesale division of Palitoy) made the talking Dalek and a Talking K - 9. The mechanism for talking was roughly the same as the one inside a Talking Commander Action Man, with a vinyl recording featuring voice recordings but both toys needed 2 A style batteries as they are now known, unlike the Action Man Talking Commander who had a pull cord mechanism...Their Dalek was available in two colour ways: silver/blue and red/black.

Denys Fisher made the Cyberman, 4th Doctor, Leela, K-9, Giant Robot and The Tardis toys...Denys Fisher's own Dalek didn't speak, it was silver, with blue spheres on the skirting with a red dome and blue eye stalk. It also had friction drive motion like their model of K-9...compared to the Palitoy BRADGATE version it was seen as far more show accurate in terms of shaping. Especially the domed head.

I also found this for you all to see:

Re: Denys fisher Dalek

I had both the silver and the red palitoy talking daleks, don't know what happened to them but in decent condition in their boxes they are worth quite a bit these days.
Also remember that the talking mechanism was a plastic disc (mini record) inside them like the talking action man had.
