I got told the Mike Tucker Refurbishment had the gold trim around the hexagon only it was seen darker in the story but every time I look at those pictures of it, it just looks black..so your guess is as good as mines! Brilliant review as always Matt!
This is a good figure, and I love the backdrop. As for the history of daleks set 18 I haven't been able to find any, only davros. 21 B&Ms searched now, only davros and deadly assassin figures.
My local store hadn’t even put them out - there was a full sealed box of 12 sitting above the shelves in the overfill bit. Sometimes with B&M you need to do detective work ! 😅
As soon as I saw you posting about these "new" Dalek figures I knew I had to go out and get them for myself. Thankfully didn't have any trouble finding them (even though my local B&M tried desperately to hide them away in a different area of the toy aisle 😅) One issue my Davros has is his eye seems to be somewhat pulled out of its socket. Can't seem to be able to push it back in so I might have to cut it off, trim down the excess plastic in there and re-glue it in.
I suspect the rear dome is a new tooling, there's an unsightly line of raised lumps on the inside bottom right "shelf" that isn't there on the original.
This was definitely on the top of my list for the 2 b&m releases. Comparing the old vs new i prefer the new, and regarding the wires i like the subtle colouring over the bright in your face wires of the original. A definitely more accurate remembrance davros indeed and for a great price.
Hey Matt, glad you were able to find them. They haven't been easy to find down south. My uncle found the emperor Davros where I used to live in the west Midlands. But I was very surprised to find both Dalek sets at my Local B&M in Taunton. I do like this version, however I'm not fond of the white look. I profer the original because of this. But I love the updates to the face, and the wires. Also love the bronze inside of the dome, which is accurate as you've said. All this time I thought it was black in there, but it was just shadowing!!!
My town just recently opened a new B&M store and still don’t sell any Doctor Who figures. Which is absolutely ridiculous. Why is this happening? It’s not franchise fatigue, is it?
It is usually a gamble. Some years one B&M will have it, and then it won't the next. I spent two hours this morning hunting but only found one of the two sets.
There's 2 reasons: The first is that B&M distribution for items like these is always awful, the 2nd is that if it's only recently opened, then there won't be enough sales data for the B&M head office to mark them as a potential store to sell them. It's bound to the overall sales within the individual store's Toy range, the more overall toys a store sells, the more likely they will get sent exclusive items (wich these fall under).
Do you not get these sent to you direct from Character anymore then? Great review though, I’ve managed to get the history set with the silver slats but no sign of the emperor anywhere in the derby area.

I think one of the things with B & M (and I’m not knocking them) is that there’s never been any kind of level playing field with them, you’d think that all the stores would get the same? Or at least if they noted that some stores sold better than others they’d favour those stores but it always seems so hit and miss. The remembrance set and the revelation set I resorted to eBay because I just got fed up with driving round.

Babe, wake up! New Batmanmarch action figure review just dropped!
Do I have these already ? Yes. Will I watch these reviews ? Yes.

I think the minimal paint job of the wires looks okay only on the sides. It really needed more colour on the front of Davros.
Doctor. Who. Emperor. Davros. From. Remembrance. Of. The. Daleks. B&M
I couldn't believe how rare the original release was i could only find two sets and i got one glad to see it come back might buy a 2nd one

Good timing for the Season 25 Blu-Ray release

I missed out the first time, but I am so glad to see an amazing figure re-released again, and it's so worth the price too, Excellent review Matt 🙂

My head on my new Davros doesn't turn I dare not force it incase I break it.
Happy to this and everyone has completed the remembrance of the Daleks collection
I suspect the rear dome is a new tooling, there's an unsightly line of raised lumps on the inside bottom right "shelf" that isn't there on the original.
Pretty awesome! the detail is great! Agreed that the other one's wires looks like a kid painted all over it. Overall nice figure!
You forgot to mention that the dome is misaligned, so when it's shut it isn't fully flush
Wasn’t that the same with the original ?
I dont think so on the original figure
I really wish this had been re released with the destroyed imperial! That’s a great figure and now still impossible to get

It's based on the refurbished prop
Wow that looks amazing I have it too
All I can ever find in B&M are Jodie Whittaker sets clogging the shelves.

I am going to try to get this at The Who Shop and if that doesn't work i will get it off eBay

How did you take davros out of the packaging without damaging the backdrop?
@@jcrossan1351 Cut around the plastic with some scissors.
scrabble's a better name
The best of both worlds?
Thats a Star Trek reference! On a Doctor Who video!
Nooooooooo.😠
