Doctor Who Dalek Ironside Action Figure The Army Dalek is colored almost entirely in army green. A Dalek is a biological entity of vague disposition encased within an armored mobile pylon. The shells themselves feature prominent eye stalks, prehensile appendages and weapons of varying ferocity; the rotating lower portions of the pylons are equipped with rounded nodules. In the episode Victory of the Daleks, in a WWII setting, Professor Edwin Bracewell is credited with the creation of robotic creatures called Ironsides, which are immediately recognized by the Eleventh Doctor as Daleks, which are not dormant but rather linked to an orbiting, time-displaced Dalek vessel. Aproximately 5 inches tall for ages 5+
