Doctor Who 1/72 Scale

Posted by StellarX on 14 Dec 2013, 18:44

Not sure of anyone has posted this yet but the recent Doctor Who edition of Risk contains 75 perfectly 1/72 scale Daleks. The game contains three sizes of Dalek in five different colours. There are 15 of each colour perfect for 1/72 (the other scales are too small/too large).

The sculpts are good but all of them are missing the sink plunger and eye stalk ends (easily added with your preferred modelling medium).

There are two types of Dalek: 'Classic' which are very nice (Grey, Black and Light Brown/Gold) - and 'New Dalek Paradigm' which are not particularly good interpretations of the much-maligned recent Dalek redesign (Orange and Yellow). Even so, you end up with 45 serviceable 'Classic' pepper-pots.

The big bonus is that the set also includes a 1/72 scale, dark blue Tardis.

The downside is the price: £40 to you, sir.

Of course, pitched against your lovely 'A Call To Arms' 1970s British Infantry, you can act out a Dalek Invasion repelled by U.N.I.T. troops.

Any other suggestions for similar scale figures to fit into this genre?

I don't know those figures! (and the game too )
It's easier to find Dr Who figures in 28mm, but your suggestions are interesting.

I've a full range of unpainted plastic figures of Oods, Wheeping Angels, Silurians, Silents, Cybermen, Sontarians from Dr Who Magazines but they are more 28mm than 1/72 !

The problem is to find Doctor (s) and companions .
Maybe it's possible with Ho figures and/or conversions ??

Very interesting 1/72 scale Dalek`s. They would look well with the 1/76 scale Railway Range especially the Hornby PoliceBox! However the 28mm Dalek`s & other figures in that range seem to be the best buy,for those colector`s wishing to build up small armies for play! There are many scale figures to choose from just take your pick!If we concider Time & Space travil,these alean`s could invade this planet at any stage of Earth`s history. If Doctor could turn up at the Battle of Waterloo,or in ancient Eygpt,the Dalek`s could too! Perhaps though the more modern up to date model combat figures would also do rather then the oldest figures on the market.Thank you for posting! It`s been interesting thinking about this!
