Burning Man is a parade of art installations and wackiness. Picture a comic convention in the desert with less comics, clothing, and inhibitions. It’s not so surprising that a Dalek car would show up or that someone would don Stormtrooper armor and guard it. I’m guessing it would be easier to exterminate this Dalek rather than cleaning out all the sound.
See the Dalek car in action in the video after the break.
These 4-inch mini plush clip-ons are soft and feature sounds! Choose from Red Dalek, Blue Dalek, TARDIS (with light up lamp!) and Cyberman.

I’d trust anything that hands me a drink with five varieties of rum and an umbrella. Even a Dalek wearing a grass skirt. This Tiki Dalek is haunting the dealer room at WorldCon in Reno, but it gets around. A different version of the tropical alien was seen at Gallifrey One. It appears that it’s been through upgrades; the better to destroy us—with Mai Tais.

This one-off Doctor Who Dalek bird feeder was created by a sci-fi fan named Chris Balcombe. It’s actually pretty simple to make—all he did was modify an old model.
If you try and make one yourself, be warned. You could wind up with an army of squirrels in your backyard that are hell-bent on exterminating you by any means necessary.

If you lack the skills to make a Dalek using the original BBC plans you could always pony up around $4900 to have an officially licensed version built for you.
The Dalek Replica is hand-built to order, using the original moulds and specifications from the BBC Props Department. Officially licensed by the Beeb, it stands at a life-sized 5’3” tall, comes in a range of classic colours and has a whole range of features to play with.
The arms are mounted on ball joints, allowing them to be moved – or wiggled in rage, as was more common. The plunger arm can be extended in and out and the iconic dome can be rotated 360°. What’s more, inset casters in the base let you move it around with ease.
Unfortunately, you can’t ride in it, but at least your kids can settle for one of these ride-in Dalek toys.

I’ll bet this Dalek has never wanted to exterminate more in its entire life.
Chris Balcombe, a Doctor Who fan, spent a week creating a royal wedding Dalek that can serve up a tray of drinks and sandwiches. He decorated the dalek with union jacks, bunting and photos of Prince William and Kate Middleton. In place of the familiar black plunger, Chris created a mechanical grip to allow the dalek to carry trays piled high with drinks and sandwiches.
Maybe the Dalek is just waiting for the wedding today to make its move.

Now all we need is some mugs with Cybermen carved into them.

In the following video, we can see a Dalek beginning phase one of its plan for world domination. Destroy all dogs, then maybe cats and other small domestic animals. Then move up the food chain until finally taking on humans.

Holy crap, kids will love these fully functional ride-in Dalek toys. It’s powered by a 6v battery, and it features 120 degrees of steering with lights and 10 Dalek sounds.
No word on price and availability just yet—or, sadly, whether one can support the weight of an adult over 200 pounds.
