Top Toy Tip

Auntie would have us believe that this will be amongst the top toys bought for Christmas this year (in the UK, at least):

Cyberman


I understand that it alters the wearer's voice to sound appropriately like the new Cybermen. Now where were these when I was seven?

Looks like an audition for a modern remake of 'Man in the Iron Mask'.

I just saw this on the Beeb website - how strange, they don't normally promote the "popular toys for Christmas".

I'm hoping to secure a licensed cold cast aluminium copy of the original prop from the Guy who made them for the BBBC !

I have cleared the shelf space for it already !

If you head to Toys R Us, you can get the "exclusive" cyber controller complete with exposed brain under perspex. Rather good....

Shh! Mr Boroshan may not "want" one just as he didn't want the radio controlled Dalek last Christmas!

So.. how large a head size do they come in?.....

The ironic thing, of course, would be if these actually turn you into a cyberman as part of a subtle and sinister plan to take over the world by building on the binge-buying Christmas super-toy phenomenon. Much more effective than earpods.
