Fans battle for life-size Doc fiends<br />
<br />
<br />
DOCTOR Who fans are slapping in orders of £2,000 for the ultimate toy - a full-size Dalek.<br />
<br />
There is a huge rush to reserve the official BBC replicas.<br />
<br />
The models, which roll on little wheels, are being built using moulds from a real Dalek used in the latest series of the BBC show, starring David Tennant, 34, and Billie Piper, 23.<br />
<br />
Though the 5ft 5in Daleks will not be available until April, the makers have been flooded with £500 deposits.<br />
<br />
There will also be the option of a model which says "Exterminate!" and has working lights for around £500 extra.<br />
<br />
Stunning<br />
<br />
A team at This Planet Earth is recreating the Dalek, which differs from those in previous series, at a secret workshop. <br />
<br />
The company, based in Crewe, Cheshire, promises that the model, licensed by the BBC, will be "stunning".<br />
<br />
A spokesman said: "Parts to have been painstakingly sourced and meticulous work has been done to produce a stunning replica.<br />
<br />
"From the moment the New Series Daleks hit the screens we had customers old and new wanting to place a deposit and to be among the first to own one.<br />
<br />
"We already have a good number of deposits and demand will be high so people will be served on a first-come-first-served basis." Managing Director Ian Clarke added: "I think the model is the ultimate toy, although it's actually a big ornament.<br />
<br />
"It's desirable because it's such a big thing. It's really impressive.<br />
<br />
"We have received countless deposits. People just want to say they own a Dalek."<br />
<br />
The model's launch will coincide with the new series of Doctor Who, which will be shown on BBC1 in the spring.<br />
