Death to the Daleks - Dalek Figure Collection 

QUESTION: These Death to the Dalek Silver Daleks with black Hemis are classified as a Type 5 Dalek. It is basically a Type 3 Dalek with the improved, higher-frequency sense globes (hemis). Is there any other differences? Other than these silver & black Death Daleks, do any other Daleks belong to the Type 5 Class? The original type 3 were silver with blue hemis. The first Type 4 Daleks (first as in "first on TV"), were the Gold and Grey Daleks from "Day of the Daleks". They were the first to have the new & improved black hemis . The new Type 4 Daleks had an oval between the arm boxes (although older, refurbished/repainted type 4's didn't have the ovals). We also saw the shows' creators to continue the use of nearly identical Type 4 Daleks in Planet of the Daleks, and later on, Genesis of the Daleks although in between these (after Planet, but prior to Genesis) we saw the Type 5 daleks (silver with black hemis) in the TV Series "Death to the Daleks". This is where things get messed up. CONFUSING POINT #1: Through the first 6 TV shows, all the Daleks were silver including those from the very first TV series "The Daleks". Now since the TARDIS moves back and forth in time, the TV shows don't have to be in chronological order, but it has been established that the Daleks without "slats and mesh" (Type 1 & Type 2) appeared before those with slats and mesh (Type 3 and up). Furthermore, since "Genesis" detailed the creation of The Daleks, one can also assume with almost 100% certainty, that the Genesis Daleks should have been slatless and meshless, and without ovals. One might argue that a grey type 1 drone could have preceded the silver Type 1 daleks (in the TV series "The Daleks"). In other words, they changed the paint color from initially being grey to the silver color in "The Daleks". However, there is a problem with this assumption. Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 Daleks all had the early model, low-frequency sense globes (hemis). The Dalek Drones in "Genesis of the Daleks" had the later model, black sense globes. Had the drones in "Genesis of the Daleks" been grey with blue hemis, I would agree that there could have been a grey Type 1 that preceded the silver Type 1, but the black hemis in "Genesis" means the shows' creators just screwed up. Conclusion regarding "Confusion Point #1": Since the Dalek drones in "Genesis" were "grey with the later-model, black hemis", I am almost 100% certain that the shows creator made a mistake painting the Daleks in "Genesis" grey with black hemis. They should have been silver like the silver, Type 1 drones WITH BLUE HEMIS found in "The Daleks". CONFUSING POINT #2: The last TV series with the Mark 3 (silver with blue hemis) Daleks was "Evil of the Daleks". The next show had a Type 4 gold supreme and a Type 4 grey drone. The single most important upgrade on these Type 4 Daleks were the new and improved black sense globes (or Hemis). The Da;el drones remained grey with black hemis through the next TV series "Planet of The Daleks". After "Planet", the drones revert back to silver skirts and silver domes, but keep the new and improved black sense globes (hemis). These are called Type 5 daleks and they differ from Type 4 since they are silver instead of grey, and differ from Type 3 since they have the new, improved black hemis instead of the older, blue hemis.. After the "Death to the Daleks" series comes the TV series "Genesis", and as I said before the Dalek drones revert back to Grey Type 4. AFTER GENESIS of the Daleks, we have "DYNASTY of the Daleks", followed by Resurrection, Revelation, and Remembrance. All of these shows have grey daleks with black hemis. (For the time being, we'll ignore the new white-gold Imperial Types 6 & 7 Daleks that co-existed in "Revelation" and "Remembrance" with the original line of Type 4 grey Daleks (now called Renegade Daleks). BIG AND FINAL QUESTION: After the one-off series "Death to the Daleks", in which the Type 5 "silver with black hemis" Daleks change back to the "gray with black hemis", is it safe to classify these later gray Daleks (found in Destiny, Resurrection, Revelation, and Remembrance) as Type 4 daleks also?????? As far as I know, the only distinct difference between the gray Type 4 and silver Type 5 is the base color (gray vs silver). IF SOMEBODY KNOWS ANY OTHER DISTINCT DIFFERENCES PLEASE LET ME KNOW! From the 1975 series "Genesis of the Daleks" through the 1988 Series "Remembrance", we see the Type 4 daleks vary slightly with the shade of grey paint used and we see some other small tweaks from series to series, such as the color of the lower collar and changes in appearance of the dome lights. (Some times a change in dome lights may reflect the difference between a "section leader" and "a drone".). Thus, I can only assume these later gray daleks are still type 4 (since the silver ones were Type 5). With the 1985 series "Revelation of the Daleks", we saw the introduction of Type 6 (1985) Necros Daleks, which were the white-gold, Imperial Daleks. In 1988 series "Remembrance of the Daleks", we saw Davros refine his Type 6 Imperial into Type 7 Imperial Daleks. I should point out that there were several fewer slats (although the slats wee a bit bigger) on The Renegade Dalek in History of the Daleks Set #15. (Ironically, this change in slat design follows the changes that Davros made when upgrading his Type 6 Necros Imperial into the final white-gold Type 7 Imperial found in "Remembrance of the Daleks." To my surprise, the Time Lord's Dalek manual didn't deem this change worthy of creating a new classification for this specific version of The Renegade Dalek. Thus, it appears like this new version of the Type 4 Renegade Dalek is still a type 4 Dalek although it has the same slat design as the newer Type 7 Imperial Daleks. IMO, this is also an oversight on the part of the show's creators. Most likely it was a change based on economics since they could use the same Dalek form for both the 1988 Imperial and Renegade Daleks.

Can I ask how you painted/ replaced the ball joints?

Can't wait for daleks invasion of earth 2150ad

I'm not keen on pushing a large metal tube into the ball joints, it really messes them up, I don't think they really need them

I liked the "Death to the Daleks" Dalek design. They could have used the design in "Genesis of the Daleks" as part of a Squad lead by a Dark Grey "Planet of the Daleks" Dalek that had been sent back in time to stop the Doctor averting their creation. And use the Skaro City Daleks from 1963 as the original Mark I Daleks.

Nice!
