The new face of Xmas


Suggested Xmas presents

It will drive the rest of the family to distraction within minutes of being unwrapped, but a new Dalek mask made of flesh-pink ribbed plastic will be one of the must-have toys this Christmas.

The mask, modelled on a one-eyed Dalek-human hybrid which appeared in the episode Daleks in Manhattan, changes the voice of the wearer to the metallic scream of the doctor’s mortal enemies.

Ahead of a Doctor Who special at Christmas, the range of related toys and games licensed by the BBC is to be further expanded. The company is finalising production of a limited edition radio-controlled Dalek, 18 inches in height, to retail for $200.

The article wanders through holiday gift suggestions - from a remote-controlled dragonfly to the ubiquitous Tamagotchi.
