Just had delivered the new range of 2" Diecasts. These are items are just fantastic!! The attention to detail is amazing, accuracy as far as I can tell is spot on. The Cyberman is removable from his Cyber industries stand. On removing him take look at the soles of his boots it even has the boot treads. The Dalek is posable!! The dome rotates, the eye moves up and down and the Sucker arm and gun revolve in ball joints, very tasty! Just goes to show it can be done right. Even at that this scale. Other manufactures take note, and I aint taking the "its a toy" as an excuse for bad examples of poor design and application. Its just as easy and cost effective to get it right as it is to get it wrong.I have tried resizing this pic and it just wont have it, its managed it with all the rest though?? These must surely rate highly on any ones list of wants. Wallets primed and ready to fire lol.

I succumbed to temptation and opened the Tardis and Dalek Sec pack, Oh boy it gets even better! Sec is really well detailed down to matt neck rings and every thing else looks right, The Daleks have 4 little rollers underneath the fender. The eye lens is painted blue. As for the TARDIS its just superb check the pics and make up your own minds. The only reservation I have is with the packaging as it is blister sealed inside the Cardboard exterior. So you have to take Scalpel or sharp knife to remove the contents. The picture on the back of interior on both boxes is of the TARDIS in a blue vortex.

I have gone further with the looking at the mini diecasts, they are accurate even down to the name plate underneath the eye cowl, Dalek Sec's is correct as is the Gold Daleks name plate.
Of course I had to use my magnifying glass. Does this make me officially sad?
