An original exhibition Dalek eye stalk, displayed on the original Supreme Dalek for exhibition purposes. Although not screen-used, this is an authentic exhibition piece produced from the original production moulds, making it an excellent display item with a direct connection to the BBC's Dalek production history.
The eye stalk was created by renowned BBC Visual Effects artist Mike Tucker, whose work has been instrumental in the creation and restoration of numerous Doctor Who props and special effects. Constructed primarily from fibreglass and foam-filled, the piece retains the robust construction typical of exhibition-quality Dalek components.
A rare opportunity to acquire an original exhibition-built Dalek component, produced from the original moulds by one of the BBC's most respected visual effects artists and displayed on the original Supreme Dalek, making it a superb addition to any serious Doctor Who collection.
It was reportedly created specifically for an exhibition in the mid-1990s—possibly the Needles Exhibition on the Isle of Wight in 1994.
This eye stalk is featured in the book Evolution of the Toy Dalek: Collecting Through The Ages (Telos Publishing), where it is shown fitted to the Supreme Dalek in the BBC Visual Effects workshop.
It remains in good original condition, displaying expected wear consistent with its age and exhibition history. The black-painted fibreglass shaft and eye housing exhibit scattered surface scratches, scuffs, and areas of paint loss. The silver-painted central rings display chips, abrasions, and missing sections, exposing the underlying material in places. The fibreglass around the base of the eye housing, where it joins the shaft, has broken away. A wedge of glue has been added to this area, likely applied during the original assembly or as part of a historic repair.
Dimensions: approximately 15.5 x 4 x 3.75 inches (39.5 x 10 x 9.5 cm)
This item is supplied with a Studio Props Certificate of Authenticity and has been authenticated by a highly respected and long-established collector specialising in original film and television props.
