A destitute Dalek from "Asylum of the Daleks" (Series 7, episode 1) of Doctor Who. The Daleks recruited the Doctor's (Matt Smith) help in destroying a planet called the Asylum, where they housed their defective, insane and battle-scarred Daleks. While on the Asylum planet, the Doctor, Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill) were chased by a Dalek, who eventually self-destructed. The Dalek is full-sized and made of fibreglass, wood, metal and resin, painted to look metallic. It comes in four separate parts, which can be fitted together, and features a seat inside for the performer. The arms, head and eye stalk move, and the base is mounted onto wheels. It is deliberately distressed for production. Dimensions : 180 cm x 180 cm x 160 cm
