The cover for the brand new Doctor Who Magazine has been released today, and if you hadn’t guessed already, the latest issue is all about Daleks, Daleks, Daleks!

Inside, DWM takes a look at the pro’s and con’s of the new Dalek paradigm, introduced in last year’s episode, Victory of the Daleks. Of course it’s not the first time the Doctor’s greatest adversaries have been given a new paint jobs, but is this the most controversial redesign yet? Plus, there’s a competition to win A Christmas Carol on DVD!

Doctor Who Magazine #301 will be released this Thursday, 10th February, priced £4.50.

    Actually, when you think about it, they are doing exactly what SM and MG set out to do. Keeping everyone talking about the best Sci Fi monster ever created!

    The design is great but the colours… I dont know. I think It’s a bit extreme… Except the white! That one is cool!!

    I agree that they shouldn’t have had so many colours. And black would have been a much stronger colour than yellow or orange.

    I don’t necessarily mind the new ones, since Daleks have always changed and moved forward… I just prefer the RTD ones. They seemed more like drones there. Anyway, as Rose said in Doomsday, “Daleks don’t have names”. I liked them much better when they were all the same.

    The Cult of Skaro were alright, because they weren’t massively different, and what difference there was, was justified. The Emperor in 1.12/1.13 I really liked because it was wrong. There was an inherent sense of corruption and manipulation in its existence – Daleks should all be the same, and they do not worship. The Supreme Dalek… nope, wasn’t so keen. Just seemed to posture a lot, and felt a bit pointless. And this time… actually, you know what? I really want to see them in a story where they don’t come in for only the last ten minutes, so we can see how the new Dalek hierarchy functions.

    Pish. That was so inconclusive.
