Specififcally, the Strategist, the Supreme, and to a lesser extent the Drone.<br />The less scary ones are Sunshine Flower(Eternal) and Pumpkin Patch(Scientist). I don't have a problem with the Eternal Dalek's color, except it isn't really menacing, maybe if it was gold?. The Scientist is just awful. Orange is NOT a Dalek color. Period.<br />I think it would be better if the Scientist was a faded green and the Eternal was gold. <br />However, the red of the Drone, the blue of the Strategist, and the white of the Supreme work far better.<br />My only problem with the design is the hunchback. It doesn't really work well and was completely unecessary. However, I got over that a long time ago.<br />I like the new size just as well as the shorter Daleks of the past. I think the new neck section works well, and the eye appears menacing. The whole thing looks like a one-man tank, exactly what I've always thought of Daleks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1284961058548237555.post-85639877062609340672011-02-28T11:54:11.759-08:002011-02-28T11:54:11.759-08:00In truth, the BBC Wales series has given very litt...In truth, the BBC Wales series has given very little in establishing good uses of the new Daleks aside from the Cult of Skaro (which I liked a lot- before they turned their attention to musical theater in Manhattan). I enjoy the Bronze Daleks of the RTD era in design, but they were so useless in their adventures. <br />Aside from a re-designed look, we need better Dalek stories. Sure, the paradigm Daleks look more menacing, more 'alien' and more powerful, but unless they have something cool to do, it's all for nothing. I have high hopes for a great Dalek adventure in 2012.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1284961058548237555.post-28505775968100625252011-02-28T01:34:14.918-08:002011-02-28T01:34:14.918-08:00Thanks.

It's nice that you are returning to the blog, but it would be helpful if you could leave comments under a name or a nickname, so I don't get you mixed up with any other people who post comments as 'Anonymous.' I get a lot of people posting as 'Anonymous' on my other blog and it can get confusing.Matthew Celestinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02874430461346560520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1284961058548237555.post-59559648384020961042011-02-27T22:54:41.143-08:002011-02-27T22:54:41.143-08:00I am indeed the Australian person, hehe.

You can't really take them seriously.<br />I love the early Cybermen appearance in Tenth Planet, Moonbase, Tomb and Wheel in Space.<br />I understand the need to make take away any personality and emotion from the new Cybermen, but it means they appear more disposable and less menacing.<br />Just my two cents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1284961058548237555.post-44233117781999356612011-02-27T06:21:57.009-08:002011-02-27T06:21:57.009-08:00Thanks for your comment.

Part of the horror of the Cybermen ought to be the mystery as to how much human flesh is left of them.Matthew Celestinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02874430461346560520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1284961058548237555.post-71538813222952838722011-02-26T22:59:11.524-08:002011-02-26T22:59:11.524-08:00I don't like the new designs myself, the colou...I don't like the new designs myself, the colours are too bright and as you said, too large.<br />And the way they came out reminded me of the power rangers.<br />Oh well. I wonder if the rumour I heard that Moffat would give the new Cybermen a make over is true, or that he will bring back the older Cybermen. Not that I dislike their 2006 design.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
