A light-up New Paradigm Eternal Dalek from BBC TV series Doctor Who. The New Paradigm were first introduced in the Season 5 episode "Victory of the Daleks", in which the Doctor (Matt Smith) uncovered a plot to recreate the Dalek species during World War II. These new Daleks were much bulkier than their predecessors and introduced a colour-coded hierarchy.

The yellow-coloured Dalek, known as the Eternal, also appeared in the Season 5 episode "The Pandorica Opens" alongside a Supreme Dalek and a Drone Dalek, when the Doctor was locked away in the Pandorica.

The Dalek is made predominantly of moulded fibreglass and resin with medium-density fibreboard collar pieces and interior. It is painted yellow, with a silver-coloured metal eye stalk; a gun stick; an extendable metal arm; black sense globes on its lower half; and a grey midsection. The collar pieces are painted matt grey, and there is a small red button protruding from the back of the neck, which illuminates the Dalek's two dome lights. The sense globes and yellow paint finish exhibit scuffing, some components are missing from the two arms, and minor sympathetic restoration has been undertaken. Dimensions: 149 cm x 93 cm x 190 cm (58 1/2" x 36 1/2" x 74 3/4")
