FULLY FUNCTIONAL. ALL LIGHTS WORK. This is a custom made Dalek in the theme of the original Doctor Who series. Very tough and sturdy costume. This Dalek comes with 4 new Wheeled casters so that it is easy to move around when in use. It easily splits apart in 3 sections for transportation. It fits easily in the back of my 2012 Traverse. The person inside the costume has a 360° view, all they need to do is turn themselves around inside the Dalek ( while the Dalek is stationary). It was designed to fit my 8-12 year old son as he grew. (as you can see from the photos, the interior is child safe, ZERO risk of poke injury or shock) . Every time he approached anyone while in this Dalek costume, they would run in terror and then ask for photos. (Fear of Daleks is apparently universal, lol) He was always delighted. There are two ways to get into the costume: A. Lift the middle section off the bottom. Then lift the person into the costume. Replace the top of the costume. B. There is a door at the back of the costume. The costume wearer can slide into the costume. Reinstall the door at the rear of the costume. (See photos for rear door) The costume is roomy, and easy to see through. My son never crashed into anyone. The costume moves easily - the person wearing it simply needs to press anywhere on the bottom section to progress forward... Although it is best to progress forward with weapons in front as this tends to scare people the most. The lights/electronics are very easy to use and battery operated. Both the front and top lights are simple push on/off to operate. The TOP section is 43in in circumference. The MIDDLE section is 55in in circumference. The BOTTOM section is approximately 98in in circumference. The costume is 68 in tall when standing inside. The Dalek speech lights on top add a bit more height. (The person inside the costume must press a button to activate the speech lights) (In some of the photos the Dalek does not have the wheels installed) The costume comes with many extra craft balls to replace the lower sections of the silver bulbs of the Dalek if necessary. This is an incredibly robust costume,made of hard industrial plastic. The only parts of the costume that are a little fragile are the silver bulbs, since they are made of craft foam. (also, some fans feel the need to steal the silver bulbs - always best to pack 2 extra for every event. ♀️) The SPEAKING lights at the top, light up with an easy push of a button (press the button rhythmically while speaking or playing a sound bite) . The Blue "Death Ray" works well as you can see. Simply press it to turn it on or off (externally). see video here: https://youtube.com/shorts/GnH_IYdvs4s?si=kUbwf7grcW7s1vEy The parts to make this costume originally cost me over $200. This is a VERY beloved costume, but my son has outgrown it and we are moving. We are hoping for another fan of the Dr Who Series to enjoy this costume as much as we did. This costume has been in the presence of Matt Smith (one the "Doctors"). We were honored by 10 minutes of discussion with this fantastic actor as we discussed the building of this Costume. (A truly kind man to spend so much time with my son ) Please feel free to ask questions. From a smoke free home.
