Summary
A plastic model of a Dalek, from the television series ‘Dr Who’; the enemy of ‘The Doctor'. The model moves by friction, but now needs a bit of a push. It is white, with gold-coloured 'spots', 'arms' and 'antenna'. The top of its head can be rotated. Protruding from the opaque white base are three wheels - two at the back with black rubber tyres, and a very small opaque white plastic one, whose housing rotates, presumably to give the Dalek an 'eccentric' movement when working properly.
