Posted April 29, 20204 yr The 1967 Doctor Who story "The Evil of the Daleks" introduced the malevolent ruler of the Dalek empire. Its bloated brain occupied a casing that was over three times the size of a normal Dalek, incapable of movement and hardwired into all of Skaro's control systems and battle computers. However, the Emperor met his match when he ensnared the second Doctor and his companion, Jamie, in a devious plot to turn the Daleks into an unstoppable fighting force. The Doctor instead imbued the Daleks with the "Human Factor", which made them start questioning their orders and turn on their Emperor. The story climaxed with a massive firefight within the Emperor's throne room, as the elite black Daleks tried to exterminate all the humanised daleks. The Emperor Dalek, unable to move and having lost all control over its empire, could only look on and helplessly scream "Do not fight in here!" This playset includes the 2nd Doctor, his companion Jamie, a silver dalek, an elite black dalek, an exterminated dalek, and the Emperor Dalek (with hinged front panel to reveal the mutant inside). It was an older MOC I discovered in my archives, and it seems that several years ago I uploaded it to Lego Cuusoo, but never got round to sharing here. I've updated the dalek mini figures to follow the designs from my recent chess set, made the Emperor's plinth dark blue, and given the Emperor a slightly more secure connection to the plinth. I'm quite proud of the cylindrical construction used for the Emperor's head, but it relies on a 3mm bar that has a slightly flimsy connection to the central column of 2x2 round bricks inside the Emperor's base section.
