After watching “The Lone Dalek”, I so very much wanted a plush version of a Dalek. I was really surprised to find out that no one was making them… Like a craftier version of Davros, I realized I’d have to create my own…
Allow me to introduce you to “Bling”, the very first member of my Dalek Empire:

I remember my initial thoughts were “he shouldn’t be that hard to make”… hehe… Between the 11 panels, 56 balls, and all the other little intricacies that make Daleks unique, this guy took a month to finish. Considering I was working soley off of production photos, he came out pretty good (though a bit anerexic looking, and his plunger droops a bit)…
Some of the details: he was mostly constructed made with Glitterspun, a disproportionately small hook (I actually broke one in half), and polyfil. The panels were crocheted seperately and then stitched together. Also, each of the 56 balls were individually crocheted and attached after the skirt was assembled.
