Behind the scenes

Appearance

The "Mechanus Attack Daleks" were blue Dalek drones originally created by Shawcraft Models for Dr. Who and the Daleks. Although the plan had been to refurbish them to resemble the television Daleks, this proved to be impractical, and the three hired Daleks were used only in the background of shots, with their enlarged Dalek fenders from the movie removed and their cone shaped head lamps swapped for TV-style bulbs. As The Chase was broadcast before the movie was released, this marks the first appearance of the movie Daleks.

Merchandise

Mechanus Attack Dalek.

• A figurine of this Dalek variant was released with the seventh "Rare Dalek" issue of Doctor Who: Figurine Collection, which named it the "Mechanus Attack Dalek". This figurine erroneously sported the enlarged head lamps and Dalek fender which was removed for The Chase.
• Two of these Daleks were released as a set by Character Options entitled The Jungles of Mechanus. These action figures also sported the enlarged head lamps and fenders.
