Doctor Who Ride-in Dalek

When we were kids, we wanted nothing more than Power Wheels. Or an ATV. But our moms said no because they are meanies. (Hi Moms. We really don't mean this. Okay, we did mean it when we were five, but what did we know?) Once we get our hands on the TARDIS, we're going to have The Doctor go back to the 80s, buy a Power Wheels car, and drop it off on our front doorstep with a bow and a little gift card. Then everything will be right with the world.

Until then, we've found the ultimate thing for the wee geeks we love in the present time: the Doctor Who Ride-In Dalek. This Red Dalek is made from a mixture of ballistic nylon and laminated rubberized polyvinyl, which is soft to the touch but extremely durable and tear resistant. While it is inflatable, this is more the quality of a snow tube, not a beach ball.

A 6v battery powered motor gives 360 degree steering and a maximum speed of nearly 2 mph! It won't hover or fly up stairs, but hey, we'll put in that suggestion for version 2.0. A soft bumper around the edge of the Dalek will protect your walls and furniture. The steering wheel has buttons which trigger ten authentic Dalek phrases so your wee geek can let people know that their extermination is at hand.

And because we know you'll ask, no, we haven't found one in adult sizes yet. We'll keep looking.

NOTE: Because this is imported from the UK, it will require a UK outlet adapter (not included) to be able to charge in an outlet in the USA.
