A New Paradigm Supreme Dalek from BBC sci-fi 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 white-coloured Daleks, known as the Supreme, appeared in multiple episodes, including Season 5's "The Pandorica Opens" and "The Big Bang", and the Season 7 episode "Asylum of the Daleks".
The Dalek is made predominantly of moulded fibreglass and resin with medium-density fibreboard collar pieces and interior. It is painted white, with grey sense globes on its lower half and a matching grey midsection and collar pieces. The head, featuring one non-functioning dome light, is loose, as are the four collar pieces. There is minor damage to the collar pieces and scuffing on the white paint finish. Some components are missing, and minor sympathetic restoration has been undertaken. Dimensions: 147 cm x 95 cm x 183 cm (57 3/4" x 37 1/2" x 72")
