Doctor Who: History of the Daleks #3 Review - The Chase (1965) | B&M Exclusive

[@The_Prydonian]

Yeah the eyestalk discs have always been a lighter blue tone to the hemispheres, whilst the spheres generally get darker as the 60s goes due to repaint and different brands of paint the discs themselves are the same brand of perspex so remain consistent, so by Master Plan to Evil it really is a stark contrast with the two blue tones. iirc it's only NuWho's Series 7 and 9 where they give their retro 60s Dalek props the darker blue eye discs that match the spheres.

[@batmanmarch]

Thanks for that, James! I knew you'd know! 😁

[@The_Prydonian]

@@batmanmarch See I'm really keen to see what they do for Power-Evil, we might actually get the much darker blue tone for those, where it's very close to the Mechanus Blue (and hopefully the original shoulder grey or something just a tad more darker)

[@britanimations2002]

Since we've gotten the HOTD Sets from B&M and the Jungles of Mechanus Set from Character Online, since they're focusing on Daleks could we get a Character Online Mechonoid set where it comes with two of them? I'd love that, and since they're not Daleks I think Character Online would be a good home for a set like that, especially since they've now done two Chase sets recently

[@tomprescott9291]

Awesome review as always mate! In episode 3 of The Chase inside the Dalek spaceship, you can actually see three of the movie Daleks, all three have the bases removed and have the smaller dome lights. It's in episode 5 when theres two of them, but thats when they have the bases and larger dome lights back on. I only noticed because i was rewatching the chase last night so i knew how many sets i'd have to buy from B&M today aha.

[@ohmydinosare]

the drone in this set kind of is the one with the silver eyestalk, because part way through the story they painted the eye black on the silver eyed one, but they used a matt black instead of the gloss black of the other daleks, so that is kind of what this dalek is. I'm not sure about the grey, I don't mind it being lighter than the old grey, but I think this is a touch too light, I'd be happy with somewhere halfway between the two, but of the two colours I do prefer the old grey, I'd say. It's not a dealbreaker, and I don't currently have the standard slatted 60s dalek, I have an evil guard, and a bunch of dead planet and DIOE daleks, but no slatted drones, so it's a welcome addition.

[@batmanmarch]

Didn't know that about the eyestalk! Very interesting!

[@ohmydinosare]

@@batmanmarch I mean it's possible that that was unintended, but I'm definitely going to tell myself that they did it on purpose. I'll be interested to see what the finish on the eyes of the other dalek set are like.

[@yellowpete79]

my what a lonng goat

[@unimpressedlink2507]

The back of the box is wrong about two new props being made for the chase. Only one immobile prop (dalek 7) was made, with daleks 1 (still with dioe eyestalk), 2 (with a new set of shoulders and dead planet eyestalk), 5, and 6 covering the main bulk of scenes. Daleks 3 and 4 remained at Barnado’s as stated on the back of the box.

[@arandompersonthatyoumightk4476]

This set looks really good, I am glad that they are continuing this series

[@AlongPreservedLines]

It really annoys me that the mid section was painted whiteish grey, i want answers as to why, considering these are supposed to be very accurate what’s going on?

[@DonNeutron004]

Excellent review as always Matt!

[@lasercatsproductions]

Fantastic review! Another one to add to the collection. Get well soon Matt!

[@theevildalek5425]

I would quite like to see a History Of The Daleks Set #2.5 & #3.5: Set #2.5 - The Space Museum = The Museum Dalek & the Silver Eye Dalek Set #3.5 - Mission to the Unknown = The UOCL Supreme Dalek & a Drone Dalek on a thick base I know it won’t happen but one can dream

[@Paxneicj484]

Well there are some amazing people out there who do incredible customs. Maybe find someone like that then pay them to do a screen accurate dalek of your choice. You dont need to dream it. Make it a reality.

[@MondasProductions]

Fantastic review, once again, this set is an easy miss for me, however if I see it, I might end up buying one

[@domtaylor1887]

Here is my idea for the next wave of B&M sets: 3-Packs: Companions of the 1st Doctor (Ian, Barbera, and Susan) Enemies of the 12th Doctor (The Master, Missy, Mondasian Cyberman) UNIT 1974 (Robot) (Sarah Jane, The Brigadier, Harry Sullivan) History of the Daleks sets: The Power of the Daleks (2 standard 60s Daleks) The Evil of the Daleks (2 Emperor Guard Daleks) Doctor/Tardis Set: The 6th Doctor and Tardis (Vengeance on Varos)

[@jmatseas]

This is a great set just a bummer it is no longer available on Amazon in the U.S.

[@floradeeley72]

I really don’t like the very pale grey mid section. Having corrected the (very annoying) mistakes with the dead planet dome lights and nine eye ring configuration from the earlier Dalek/Mechonoid release, they’ve now added a glaring inaccuracy with the mid section instead!

[@royhay5741]

There's also a Dead Planet Dalek with egg cup dome lights, and in The Space Museum there is a Dead Planet Dalek with the Dalek Invasion of Earth eye stalk too

[@themaypole]

A whole month later my store finally got this in. And within 5 hrs I have hair dried the solar slats off and painted the white back to grey. Looks much better lol.

[@themaypole]

Still can't find this or the TARDIS in my b&m. They've only had Terror Of The Zygons so far. Wish I could order them online for RRP once again.

[@gordonfeetman445]

What's that intro music called?

[@NathanM125MB]

I wonder if the gray on the shoulder section is suppose to be a call back to the Dapol Daleks being all in one color? Over all, I don't mind the set, though it would be funny if the drone Dalek was made in all one silver.

[@Tlaloc1]

Super tempted to get this, though I think I'll wait for the later 60's daleks and for genesis and remembrance sets.

[@leonsearle7288]

New subscriber, love your reviews

[@dragonzilla6482]

Wait! I thought that there were three Dalek Guards in the episode.

[@unimpressedlink2507]

You are correct

[@dragonzilla6482]

@@unimpressedlink2507 I thought so, thank you. ;)

[@dalekemperor1984]

Three props were borrowed. Two were used as the full Movie Daleks and two were used as the guard Daleks in the background of the scenes. So one prop was used for both parts and one each was used for different things.

[@tomprescott9291]

@@dalekemperor1984 In episode 3 in the scene inside the Dalek spaceship, you can actually see three of the movie Daleks, all three have the bases removed and have the smaller dome lights.

[@drawingjackrabbit401]

I actually like the white to be honest. When I first looked at it I dont know why but I thought of 'an adventure in space and time'. Do you think the Dalek could be from that?

[@skyrtvoid0987]

are these eye stalks bendy?

[@astrochaos4182]

I might get Set 4 for Christmas because I’ve never had a 60s supreme and I missed out on the original flamethrower Dalek

[@cameronmonaghan6883]

With all these chase Dalek figures you must have you could just recreate the whole story with a massive army

[@dragonzilla6482]

Maybe there was one Dalek that did have a light grey mid section, I don't know.

[@Laurabeck329]

Knowing chaos that was Doctor Who in the '60s I wouldn't be surprised

[@themaypole]

Bit awkward seeing this come out since I had the Chase SFX Dalek and the flamethrower Dalek on my xmas list and my folks did NOT pay £20 for them...had to keep them quiet

[@Utogonist]

Amazing content

[@joearber2550]

Yeah honestly I do agree with you on the grey. It looks way too bright to me

[@TheLoneDalek2021]

I was lucky enough to get two of the 'History of the Daleks set 3' and one of the 'History of the Daleks set 4' this time. I could not find the first two 'History of the Daleks' sets at all in the last B&M wave, so I was very happy to get these ones.

[@TheLoneDalek2021]

I was also lucky to get the 'Jungles of Mechanus' set as well because about two or three days later, they sold out. Great review, by the way! 👍

[@JBexplores]

The smaller iris is inaccurate as they only ever did that in the Dead Planet and Power of the Daleks.

[@theentity5201]

i think the masterplan supreme did have the contracting iris when it ranted "NO POWER IN THE UNIVERSE CAN STOP THE DALEKS"

[@MSharif3D]

The nearest B&M store in my area haven't got the stocks yet. The products are on the system, though. I did call that B&M store and if the stock arrives, they'll put the two new Dalek sets aside for me to collect. So, I should be fine in collecting these sets, right?

[@Daldi564]

I think the paler blue is more accurate. I've seen colour images of the 60's Daleks in the Ultimate Monster Guide. Gotta say, they look real pale. So yeah, more accurate imo. Personally, I don't mind the lighter grey. You could argue that in certain shots during some 60's Dalek stories, the lighting does make the mid section lighter but I will admit it is somewhat of a flimsy argument.

[@MSharif3D]

Hi, Batmanmarch I hope you're getting better. Just a bit of a heads up there are YT Bot commenters spamming the comment section, acting like girls and have inappropriate profile pictures. Don't click on any links they provide, as they can steal your information. Just report them as spam. I do apologise that this is happening to your channel. However, this is common on some other channels I watch too, so you're not alone in this dreaded situation.

[@SteamLance]

With all these new figures that have come out, will you at all be doing any figure animations? Even just short films and that. Or did you move away from that sort of thing?

[@Gamingdude1618]

Cool 😎

[@johnquinones.]

I wish I could buy those sets if only people wouldn't buy then and just sell them of ebay for double the price

[@miked3038]

Superb video. Get well soon.

[@batmanmarch]

Thank you!

[@arthurw.birling427]

[@keef5543]

I think they're trying to make them looked washed out, so parts are pale. but it makes no sense to me because the hemispheres are the same blue as before. but that's the only other thing I can think of to explain. these are my joint favourite designs and the shoulders ruin them for me... still buying 2 tho

[@ptolyclarke1400]

Lol I have a cold too at the same time n all 😂

Can't lie tho, really dislike the white shoulder color.
