This time I review the final Davros set from the fourth Doctor story, 'Destiny of the Daleks'. NEXT REVIEW: The Master and his TARDIS from 'The Time Monster'
A nice treat to come home to. One of your reviews. I never really liked Destiny Davros because his mouth never opened properlly when he talked. I don't know why but I like that line "He's been sitting in that chair since genesis" very amusing. Your camera makes Wisher Davros look very posh and shiny. You could repaint him if you wanted to. Yes he looks 100% better without scarf. I love how C/O didn't do it right so you made your own. A Jaraoth figure eh Interesting. Good Review. Cheered me up
the eyestalks on the two Daleks didn't have the right number of disks. it should have been the suicide Dalek eyestalk which had four disks instead of 5 that the Genesis Daleks had.
Ever planning to do proper video tours of the full size Dalek and TARDIS? As a fellow builder, I'm always very interested to see what others come up with, and I'm sure other subscribers would love an opportunity to see them too. I've almost finished an NSD, and, when I started, I prefered NSDs to Classic Daleks. Now, I'm not so sure. The Genesis and Destiny Daleks all have a certain charm others don't have, I'd love to build one one day :).
What a really nice set and a good review, like all the others you do pick out the details of what's good and whats not so good and weither we should get it or not, I personally would like to see a 'Planet Of The Spiders variant of Jon Pertwee/ And the costume that he had in 'The Mutants' with the new tie and red jacket with cape and boots' and Tom in Brown coat and longer scarf
I think they painted it grey to match the faded and scratched Wisher chair that you see Gooderson sitting in. Genesis of the Daleks has very dark sets, whereas Destiny is very light - so the chair appears more grey, I suppose.
@AnubisX1 I do, I was overly impressed with it, but the Master's TARDIS will be a fab bit of scenery for future animations. Definately won't go to waste and it's a pretty good price. I'd say go with Genesis. Davros is better, Tom is a tad better than the one in this set and I'm sure he'll be released again if not as a more accurate version at somepoint.
I actually gasped when you brought the custom scarf lol. It looks very nice on the figure pal. I have yet to get the set, seeing as I have no money at the moment, but I will nick... err... acquire your idea for the scarf if I do get it
Great review, I shall have to try pick this up when i'm back at uni! Destiny as a story is one of my favourite Dalek stories tbh. A lot of people complain about the state of the Dalek props but if you think about it from an in-universe perspective (:P) these are Daleks which should be battle hardened veterans and of course they're gonna be damaged!
I had my Destiny Davros bought with a Genesis head on it, and I took City of Death Docto, removed his shin, and replaced them with Destiny Doctor's shins, and with the softer coast, he works very well. :D
hey, great review. got this set now. But ive noticed wen loooking at mine that the circle on the black and grey dalek on the middle section isnt painted black. shudnt this be black as the picture on the box shows this dalek with this circle coloured black. but still a good set and great review. :)
I have the video release of destiny of the daleks, and I've recently watched it, and I've noticed that on that Davros's chair looks like a kind of greyish colour. Maybe the figure designers ,or whatever that job is called, had the video release for some unexplained reason
I like this set, even though Destiny wasn't a story I was too keen on. If they'd made Gooderson's chair more greyer, yes, I would agree with you, it'll look better.
the strategic battle computer globe could be easily misplaced if it doesn't click on much as Tom Baker's head(Planet of Evil editon) I made mini hat boxes out of AA battery cartons for such accessories.
@timelordstudios100 That was the trouble with my dalek witht the silver gun, its eye stalk bended and doesn't look like it's facing strait. Oh btw, can Toms head pop off in the Genesis set?
The Daleks look better than the ones used in the episode. Also Davros was really dark in that episode due to the make up trying to hide the damaged mask.
Yet another great review! Wonderful work o the custom scarf! May I ask if with you Genesis set, did the Dalek's eye (bronze gun) bend and eventually fall out of its head?
Hey did you know about the Time monster set with master and Tardis set has been announced? Also would recommend this or the Genesis set, as i am not sure which one to get?
Got a Shada 4th doctor, bought a loose 4th doctor from this set, then swapped scarfs to make a POM 4th doctor and Proper version of this figure all because I can't afford a City of Death set. Why must these prices be so high
Will you be getting the Destiny set with the autogtraph? I can't decied on getting the autograph edition or the genesis because when watching the episode back his chair is grey, Just not as much as they made the figure!
I think the body is the Season 18 Fourth Doctor. You really should've got another S18 Fourth Doctor and K9 (but just rid K9) and repainted the scarf, the head sculpt looks like that scarf could fit. Will you use the scarf on the Pyramids of Mars/Seeds of Doom Fourth Doctor?
this is the only davros ive brought so far as it the one ive wanted since i was 9!!! and its perfect except for the scarf, thank god theyre releasing the city of death set, my 1979 9 year old self would explode if I had these back then
Something is due to be anounced this afternoon, apparently. Nice work on the custom scarf, when I first saw the pictures of this the whole scarf thing really annoyed me. Comparing the last view of tom in your video to my s12 tom, the face looks more like that on the SOD and TSE version, but minus the hat... Is this the case, or am I just talking nonsense? It wouldn't be the first time...
You have your own full-size dalek? Jealous lol. Hope to have my own one day. Have you ever shown it in one of your vids? Love the reviews by the way :)
Great review mate :) Why didn't they just take the burgundy suit scarf and make it different colors?! THEY ARE STUPID!!! >:( NICE custom job dude :) Can't wait for the next review! And I RRREEAALLYY hope the make a Scaroth!!!
i met david goodason how ever u spell his name at yeovilton, also really good custom scarf mat hope 2 c it soon in an adventure, should put it in ur next 4th doctor adventure
O.O Whoa. What a rubbish set. Still, the news about 'The Time Monster' set is enough to help me forget about this set. Now, if they would only release Ainley's Master with maybe the Melkur or a Cheetah person. :P
Excellent review as always Matthew but it really frustrates me at how they keep getting the details wrong on these figures. For the amount of money they are asking they really should be on the ball with these figures, it's inexcusable and lazy.
This to is a real dissapointment, i would rather they reused the season 18 scarf repainted than that even if it is too thick, i mean the figure barely fits together. And why did Tom get a sonic in this set but not in the genesis?
i am so sick of those sodding Tom Baker figures!!!! When are they going to release more companions? I know they made a Peri figure but lets be honest. They could have done better when choosing who to make.
