Random minifig of the day: idea024

And this is how I found out that the Dalek from 71283 is not counted as a minifigure. Probably because it is a 'vehicle' for Lego Dimensions. It is also a bit bulkier than this one. Still very cool though.

Did I miss any of them?"

Does the Rouge Dalek go around wearing rouge, or applying it to any humans it catches. "Cosmeticate. COSMETICATE!""

Shoot. That's what you get for typing while half asleep!

You’re welcome.

EXTERMINATE!!!

@tedgarb said, of a set released in late 2015:
"Old ideas sets were something else, in the best way possible. The new ones are great too, but I love the early ones where they just trying to figure out what would stick and how to make it all work, so cool to look at as a historical moment in time in the Lego company’s history!"

Ouch.

The Daleks' creator Terry Nation also created Blake's 7. I mention merely out of total obsession.

Well you've got the red and the black versions of the Daleks which seem to serve in leadership roles

They missed out on a lot characters... Could of made so many aliens

I prefer the one included at 71238: Cyberman Fun Pack which, curiously, is not considered a minifig...

British robots XD They got ex-terrrmina-ted by Lego Batman.

Eh, depends on how you’re defining ‘common’. Over the last month we’ve only had two, this guy and Plankton from the 25th. I personally wouldn’t describe 2 out of 30 as particularly common myself, but I guess if you didn’t want to see them at all you might still consider that too many

It’s the “vehicle” for that pack. Cyberman gets a minifig puck, Dalek gets an accessory puck that you have to encode with which of three builds you’re using.

I do love me a LEGO Dalek! I have 6 of these, and a dozen of the ones that came in the 71238-1 Pack.
Not to mention several hundred non-LEGO ones, toys of various sizes going back to the 60s!

As much as we love Han and Kirk, they will never hold a candle to the coolness of Spike.

Pyro Daleks from The Dalek's Master Plan, Suicide Daleks from Destiny of the Daleks, Transparent Dalek from Revelation of the Daleks, Time-Controller Dalek, and Peter Cushing movie Daleks?

We NEED Cowboy Bebop Lego! Come on Lego, just do it!

I loved the Doctor Who set this Dalek came in. Was so disappointed that it didn’t end up being its own theme. I still hold out hope that one day we will get a Doctor Who Lego theme. Hopefully Disney influence could make that more likely in the near future.

Purely because I happened to find myself bored enough for long enough, I went back and checked even more of the Random Minifigs: of the most recent 100 entries, only 4 of them have been brick-built. Not a percentage I’d consider common, I suspect they’re just remembered more due to people getting annoyed by them in the comments

Would the brickbuilt Daleks from TLBM count as a different type? If you were to replicate that design, they’d be bigger than the 2-story Ideas TARDIS. Anyways, totally non-canon, but I’ve got Christmas Daleks that I put out at shows in November/December. One red, one green, both with white trim.

In addition, I also forgot Executioner Daleks, Dalek scouts, and off course, LEGO Daleks!

Aunty? You know the law: Several quotations enter, only one quotation leaves.

oh man, I thought they did a really good job of capturing the iconic design with this brick-built figure.

I didn't purchase the set, but I did snag one of these guys on BrickLink a few years ago.

True.

Could also use Highthiker's Guide to the Galaxy Lego. That would be fun.

Based on what I know of those various characters, Kosh could wipe the floor with all of them at the same time. Would he, though? Depends on which Kosh you’re talking about. Brown Kosh? Maybe not. Purple Kosh? Abso-fraggin-lutely, to quote another B5 character.

Ahhh that looks so cool. I'll try to make one of these next time I'm playing around in the parts bin with the kids.

It should be the Random EXTERMINATE of the day!

I wish Lego would make more Doctor Who sets. They could do so much more. SO MUCH MORE!

@StyleCounselor: "Highthiker's Guide to the Galaxy"...is that the 'Highlander' 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' crossover/mash-up I just realized I've always wanted :D

Calling this a "minifig" is definitely pushing it... ;)
Only thing I'd really criticise is that the top dome is too thin and the dome lights should be brick-built and not simply printed on, but I guess it's nigh-on impossible at this scale.
I have the set it comes in, got the little TARDIS right next to my PC monitor.
Really wish this would have kickstarted a proper Doctor Who theme. A "UCS" TARDIS or Dalek would have been fantastic.
Though who knows, given LEGO's and Disney's collaborations, and DW now being basically a Disney+ show, we might get something... one can only hope.

For the small size it's quite a good likeness while still including the 3 sink plungers even if there are no minifig parts, although I remember Davros in the 80's converting humans into Daleks so maybe that is why they have appeared today but probably too dark to discuss more.

Meanwhile, the 4 'human like' minifigs in the Dr Who set are really cool, although strange the included weeping angel and 11th Doctor do not appear on the box art?

THIS is undoubtedly the best Dr Who episode ever ;-)
