I recall getting my genesis set with the two daleks davros and that when I was a child and seeing the comparison now is awesome that they’re improving the models.
Good call, Character! Wasn't planning on getting this set as I already had the earlier Davros and a good number of variant Genesis Daleks but the improvements and extra features make this the best Dalek figure release in ages.
Just opened up this set and couldn't remember what those two accessories were until you said, then the image popped into my mind. The Davros figure is stunning, the reason why I bought this.
Playing catch up on these sets seems to be my new hobby.. and a expensive one. I am based in Canada and Love all the attention the 4th Doctor Stories are getting!!
You can easily fix the wonky backrest on your old Davros, it's just soft plastic. It's not a flaw with the toy, it was caused by the packaging bubble. Simply get a hairdryer, heat it up for about 30 seconds. It will return to its proper shape. Pop it in the freezer for a few minutes to cool it back down, and it will look a lot better.
I'm hoping next year we'll get the David Gooderson Davros (with Dalek Battle Computer) and a Bomber Dalek, since this year's Destiny set didn't have one. Also potential for them to reuse the opening dome piece for a Resurrection Dalek to put with Davros.
I rewatched Genesis of the daleks and still got the original dalek figures from this story. And I really looking forward to the 4th doctor dalek stories. Also this was part of the time lord victorious
Nice! Good review... 😊 I have the original Genesis set, but this looks excellent! A nice upgrade on the Dalek colours, and having the removable gun is a fun feature! Thew one thing I'm not keen on with these new Dalek figures (and now Davros), is the wear and damage marking on the fenders; it doesn't look natural...just looks like someone in a factory can't be arsed and paints random streaks without even knowing what they represent! (Which probably is the truth... 😞). IF I can manage to find one of these, I'll be very happy, but I will do a bit of painting to hide that wear & tear streaking!
@@StanTheSlitheen yes deffinately. As soon as I can get hold of them. Hopefully it'll be sooner than later. Wish I could be sent the Davros set. But I think my brutal honesty in the past has made me less than likeable to Character's PR
I've seen the original prop of Davros's chair. It's hard to believe what a messy heap of mis-aligned wood and cardboard it is, with a crazy uneven finish from all the paint that's been slopped on it every time it needed a touch up.
This set is awesome!!! And its amazing how much play value and FUN some teeny bits of plastic can add to these sets be it a cyber mob, a Voord Knife, Robot Hands, Sensorite egg beaters, it’s just very welcome and I hope we get more accessories with future sets!!! All in all one of the bets sets CO has done and I prefer this Dalek’s “joints” to the usual screwed on bar, I think this is better all around. I also thought the Dalek was too dark, but now that I’ve seen your review and the Dalek in decent lighting it looks sooooo good!!! Davros is better, though I would have preferred them redoing the cranial wires with something even thinner, but easily rectified with 3D printing or some wires! :-) A Must Have Set!!! :-)
Was kinda on the fence because I customised my _Planet of the Daleks_ Dalek to look like the bronze gun _Genesis_ one and already had a Terry Molly Davros. But the removable gun and plunger gimmick made this an instant buy.
They really need to start selling these sets in other shops because they're basically nonexistent in B&M a great set to look forward to getting but Disappointing after you get to the 7th B&M and they still haven't bothered stocking them
If there's anyone in the UK who would be down to ship some of these new sets to Belgium, let me know! I'd love to get my hands on them, they truly look amazing but scalpers on eBay are a nightmare to deal with
I'm sure you've been asked this a million times but is the rendition of the dw theme you use in all your vids from somwhere or have you created it yourself
It was clearly composed by Keff McCulloch - a composer Bats would most likely reprimand in one of his scathing reviews, I shouldn't wonder, while ironically using his music in all his review videos. Typical Whovian behaviour.
Head-wise, I think I prefer the paint on the previous Davros. Everything else looks better on the new one but that paintjob is so gloopy and heavy, I think it does more harm to the excellent sculpt that the previous job.
Ive heard a few reviews say they prefer this brown (but they say its "grey") to the blue-grey, but i agree with you John that to my eyes the original was more blue-grey than brown-grey. Although to be fair lighting certainly affects the colors too.
Character are sure getting a lot of mileage out of that imperial dalek base, it's not the separated 2 piece base last seen on dalek alpha/anti lightwave dalek, the parts are together
I hope B&M release the David Gooderson Davros, I can then sell my Forbidden Planet signed Destiny set. What is a shame is we won't get a reissue of the Emperor.
Honestly that's sometimes the best bet, I've spent well over £30 just trying to get there so getting one for £35 or £40 online isn't to bad unless if your super lucky.
I wish Character would start selling stuff online, Daleks especially. Too much scalping nowadays, lol. Thank god Jungles of Mechanus wasn't a "Seek and locate" set.
IMO Davros’ face on the original 2011 release is far better, to me it’s much closer to the way he looks in the episode. If nothing else it’s nicer to look at than the re-release.
I hadn't realised everyone had their preview sets already, I guess I might have if I hadn't been away on holiday , though I wouldn't want to assume anything. This is a lovely set, can't wait to get hold of one, I missed genesis Davros first time around, it was one of my absolute top most wanted figures, and that wash is a huge upgrade on the face
As soon as I saw they were announced I knew you’d already have them
That’s because he gets sample sets in advance
In my opinion this is one of the best sets we’ve had in the last 4 years
It's beautiful isn't it? The Giant Robot set was stunning too.
True
Unfortunately that's not hard with the b and m sets
I’d argue the best

I'm hoping they do a character 3 pack that has Nyder, Gharman and Ronson in it.
I’m still baffled why they haven’t. Figures like Ronson would be super easy. Nyder and Gharman are the figures that would require some new tooling.
I'm glad figures are still being made all these years later

Definitely my favourite set of wave 2. Closely followed by the history drone 2 pack.
Oh hey, I remember you! Sorry about your channel.

Tried that loads of times and it just reset.

Now if we can only just find these elusive little buggers!

You’re lucky to get the set and though the attachment sounds extraordinary!
Your logo will finally fit when the new era kicks off 😁
I thought that yesterday!

In my opinion, this is the best set realised in the entire B&M exclusive figures
i agree, but i also love the adventure in space and time tardis! (also will you be reviewing any of this wave?)

@@drawingjackrabbit401 what did you think of TPOTD?
Loving these new dalek sets, but still always hoping that character options have a "resurrection of the daleks" dalek trooper set in the works. 🙏
As long as they aren't blue this time!
I've seen the original prop of Davros's chair. It's hard to believe what a messy heap of mis-aligned wood and cardboard it is, with a crazy uneven finish from all the paint that's been slopped on it every time it needed a touch up.
hoping to try and get this one somehow in Australia

They've missed the silver dot "bolt" the original 3-pack version had in its plunger.
Wish I could get them from character options they look really good

A very exciting set
Trouble is people buy all these then try and rip people off on Ebay which is such a shame :(.
We need a 1/6th figure of Michael Wisher's Davros!
Wish the return of the backdrop was a permanent- well, hopefully it is
If there's anyone in the UK who would be down to ship some of these new sets to Belgium, let me know! I'd love to get my hands on them, they truly look amazing but scalpers on eBay are a nightmare to deal with
Did you ever get them?
And side note love to see an imperial dalek with a correct skirt
I'm sure you've been asked this a million times but is the rendition of the dw theme you use in all your vids from somwhere or have you created it yourself
It was used on some 90s VHS tapes the BBC put out. Special releases like The Tom Baker Years and Cybermen: The Early years.
It was clearly composed by Keff McCulloch - a composer Bats would most likely reprimand in one of his scathing reviews, I shouldn't wonder, while ironically using his music in all his review videos. Typical Whovian behaviour.
This is such a cool set!
I’m going to try and get this one definitely!
Oh no here we go again
There are still not on b&m website or instore.
Did you just fat-shame Davros? Heavier indeed. You're no Kate Moss yourself! 😉
Was this the censored Dalek Al was holding up in the Q&A?
Presumably this or one of the ones from the other Genesis set.
Head-wise, I think I prefer the paint on the previous Davros. Everything else looks better on the new one but that paintjob is so gloopy and heavy, I think it does more harm to the excellent sculpt that the previous job.
Just seems the grey is too dark on the Dalek. Seems to have lost that grey/blue hue as seen in the original episode of Genesis.
Ive heard a few reviews say they prefer this brown (but they say its "grey") to the blue-grey, but i agree with you John that to my eyes the original was more blue-grey than brown-grey. Although to be fair lighting certainly affects the colors too.
The original Character options forbidden planet Doctor Who Genesis of the daleks set came out in 2011 Not 2010
Character are sure getting a lot of mileage out of that imperial dalek base, it's not the separated 2 piece base last seen on dalek alpha/anti lightwave dalek, the parts are together
but do they know the location of the renegade dalek base?
@@FreeTheDonbas the renegade dalek base has been decommissioned for it is obsolete now
Has anyone seen these sets on Merseyside
I hope B&M release the David Gooderson Davros, I can then sell my Forbidden Planet signed Destiny set. What is a shame is we won't get a reissue of the Emperor.
My B&m store where I live is rubbish. They never seem to have any Doctor Who stock, so I’ll probably buy these online
Honestly that's sometimes the best bet, I've spent well over £30 just trying to get there so getting one for £35 or £40 online isn't to bad unless if your super lucky.
This review contains many utterances of the word "stiff".
Do you have the 9th 3 pack yet?
I still wonder if Davros in the chair was inspired by Captain Pike from Star Trek's 'the cage'?
I wish Character would start selling stuff online, Daleks especially. Too much scalping nowadays, lol. Thank god Jungles of Mechanus wasn't a "Seek and locate" set.
B&m south don’t bother especially in Hertfordshire all there is shitty doll things and bobble heads
Are they already own in shops yet
I believe these sets will show up in B&M stores sometime in November.
@@m.sharif_3d Most likely to appear in stores in December, or even January next year, unfortunately.
