1970s Doctor Who toys

1970s toys

I only have a couple of genuine Doctor Who toys from the 1970s, both of which are in pretty poor condition.

1975 Talking Dalek (Palitoy) left

This was my first ever Dalek toy. I bought it from a school jumble sale in 1986. It cost me 50 pence and I was so thrilled! At the time it still spoke - with two batteries it would shout out “Attack! Attack! Attack!”, “What Are Your Orders?” and of course “Exterminate! Exterminate!”. It has since lost its voice.

1977/79 Cyberman (Denys Fisher) right

When I first got hold of this one, he still had some of the rubber tubing on the arms and legs, but they got lost at some point. It’s his original suit, but it’s in bad shape. At some point, I undressed him and painted his body silver. It looked daft.
