Everyone’s favourite rainbow coloured pepper pots – otherwise known as The Dalek Paradigm – now have a new action figure range.

The five new figures feature 6″ models of the White Supreme Dalek, Orange Scientist Dalek, Yellow Eternal Dalek, Blue Strategist Dalek and Red Drone Dalek.

Many years ago, the Daleks sent out thousands of egg-shaped Progenitors containing the genetic coding of the race, so that new Daleks could be created whenever necessary. One of these Progenitors was found in war-torn England during the Second World War and transported to a Dalek ship. However, because the Daleks that found it had been genetically modified by their creator Davros, using his own DNA, the Progenitor did not acknowledge them as pure Daleks, until the Doctor identified them as such and the Progenitor created a new race of powerful Daleks as a result. These Daleks were led by the white-cased Supreme, and include the enigmatically titled yellow-cased Eternal, blue-cased Strategists, orange-cased Scientists and the red-cased Drones.

They are priced RRP £9.99 each and out 24 November 2010. More info at Forbidden Planet.

Unless you’ve been living in the caves of Androzani recently, you will no doubt be aware that today sees a couple of big releases on the Doctor Who calendar.

First we have The Complete Fifth Series box set on DVD and Blu-ray. With all 13 episodes of Matt Smith’s debut series and a host of extras, it’s pretty much essential for all Whovians (unless your still not over David Tennant, that is). There’s also a Limited Edition version available which comes in a numbered steel case and has some art cards thrown in.

Second, a treat for your ears with the two-disc Series 5 soundtrack which contains no less than 63 tracks from music maestro Murray Gold. Many fans thought Gold did some of his best work this year and we’d find it hard to argue against that. If you need a reminder just check out the preview below.

The Complete Fifth Series and Series 5 Soundtrack are out now.

The Doctor Who Complete Fifth Series box set isn’t out until next week, but the two bonus ‘mini-episodes’ contained within have already leaked on to Youtube. So if you really can’t wait, here they are.

Meanwhile in the TARDIS 1 -- Bridging The Eleventh Hour and The Beast Below.

Meanwhile in the TARDIS 2 -- Bridging Flesh and Stone and The Vampires of Venice.

And if you haven’t ordered the box set by now, you really should.

Spoiler Warning!

One of the most exciting extras on the Doctor Who: Complete Fifth Series box set is the specially filmed ‘Meanwhile in the TARDIS’ scenes, and we have some more details.

‘Meanwhile in the TARDIS’ comprises two new ‘mini-episodes’ written by Steven Moffat.

The first one takes place just before the start of The Beast Below when Amy was floating in space above Starship UK. In the scene, Amy fires off a bunch of familiar questions about the nature of the Doctor and the TARDIS.

The second one is after Amy kisses the Doctor at the conclusion of Flesh and Stone. After ‘fighting’ off Amy’s advances, the Doctor tells her about his previous female companions and pictures of them are shown on the TARDIS console screen (below). Amy is left quite startled by the amount.

The Complete Fifth Series is out on Monday.
