Doctor Who: Completing the New Dalek Paradigm (Eternal, Strategist & Scientist)

Hey Doctor Who fans and collector friends! I’ve finally managed to complete my set of the New Paradigm Daleks.
Now don’t groan! I know they aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but as a set of models they do look good (to me at least) - but what’s your favourite Dalek model, and will you be picking up to new Dalek Saucer model from Master Replicas?
Please do like the video and drop a subscription to the channel! I really do appreciate each one of you!
🙏🏻

Firstly nice to see the description "new paradigm" as people often just refer to them as 'paradigm' Daleks which in English anyway makes no sense 🙂
I too dont see the need for the hate they got. I think they look better and more imposing when they are bigger, and frankly if you are going to re-design them you need to keep them instantly recognisable as Daleks and thats exactly what they did here.
OK, its a bit hokey to call one 'an eternal' Dalek - what does that even mean?
My main criticism is they have rather large bums..... certainly in proportion to their heads. I think if the heads were a bit bigger they would look a bit more in proportion.
I hate it when people whine and get their own way... especially fandom and its a shame that these didnt replace the gold classic design in the show going forward.
The Jodie-Daleks were another good attempt for a redesign and I really liked them - just a shame again they were specifically suggested to be one-offs and not the norm.
I suspect that Ncuti will get his time to face the Daleks and when he does then they will be a redesign although how drastic remains to be seen - on things for sure is that people will whine about it 🙂

So so true! I fully appreciate that change can be uncomfortable but I bet if the show had held its nerve they could have given us some really powerful Dalek action, even if they toned down the colours a little. But I guess that’s all sitting in an aborted timeline somewhere!
They do have curious bums - I think the design should have meant this area was their “alt” weapons/appendages storage but another interesting feature lost to time!
Yeah I did like the Jodie design and you’re quite right, such a shame the daleks didn’t opt to assimilate the better design elements of the drones but hey ho. Hope it won’t be too long till we see the latest iteration and please let them not just be bronze!! lol

@@timetravellingtoycollector4149 interesting to see when they appeared again in asylum that they had opted to repaint them in a far better looking metallic paint rather than the “tellytubby” primary garish colours they first used.
As you say it’s a shame they didn’t keep their nerve.
