So Halloween is over (THANK GOODNESS - I tend to spend it behaving a bit like a terribly incompetent ninja and in constant fear the doorbell will ring) but that doesn't mean you can't start planning for next year, so I give you these Amazing Doctor Who costumes, which will set you back only about fifty quid and a large portion of your diginity:

The Dalek



The iconic Doctor Who monster, only available in that most Dalek-y of colours: weird brown. There are also arms. ARMS. So you can be some sort of terrifying even-more-mutant Dalek that is actually a FAIRLY SENSIBLE upgrade since you'll now have opposable thumbs and be able to use door handles and stuff instead of just shooting things. Which you can't do with this costume because THAT ISN'T A REAL DALEK GUN.

I do like how they don't bother with trying to hide the feet though.

The Cybermen



The best thing about this is how it's described as an "authentic costume" and it's made of VELOUR. VELOUR CYBERMEN. To be more authentic please take a hairdryer, some wellies, any clothes you like and a large can of silver spray paint. Spray everything silver. Get dressed, stick the hairdryer to your head and VOILA, a totally authentic Tenth Planet Cyberman costume. Probably.

The Eggcup



This is nothing to do with costumes or Halloween, but it is a Dalek egg cup. Why? Fuck knows. The important thing is what it's called: the Eggsterminator Egg Cup. I hope that brings you as much joy as it brought me.

The Eggsterminator Egg Cup has brought me much joy as well. Yay!

I think I might need that Dalek egg cup, just because.

I never knew I needed an egg cup. I NEED IT BECAUSE OF REASONS.

Would you still be my friend if I wore that Cyberman costume at a con?

I was scrolling down and the first flash of the egg cup image made me go "IS THAT A DALEK DILDO? OH DEAR GOD!" *shame*

Dalek egg cup looks more like a Davros eggcup (though I suppose it could be a specialist dalek like the special weapons dalek only with an egg instead).

Is it me, or does it look a little bit, um, rude...?

This makes me sad to be a grownup, though I would never have been allowed it as a child.

I HAVE THAT. I HAVE THAT EGGCUP. Despite not eating eggs. Mostly I use it to stage tiny battles with my Star Wars M&Ms figures.

This has made today approximately seventeen times better than it was before. :D

I... may need -- NEED -- an Eggsterminator Egg Cup.

Hee! My godson got me the M&S version of the dalek eggcup a few years back for Easter. The head is detachable!

It still gives me great joy ;-p

I eat soft-boiled eggs all the time! I make them for my kids too! WE ALL NEED THESE EGG CUPS RIGHT NOW.

[sabotabby]

I don't know what egg cups are for (I'm thinking hardboiled eggs, but I'm also thinking that no one in the world eats hardboiled eggs) but I do kind of want an Eggsterminator.

The costumes are for shit, though, especially when there's such good DW cosplay out there.

It is so sad they tried for Ye Moderne Cyberman. The first generation were men in tights with boxes on the front; how hard would it be to make that into a costume? :P

Thanks for sharing that egg cup, it is brilliant and reminds me of how great humanity can be.

The Eggsterminator may just be the most awesome thing i have ever seen.

I NEED IT IN MY LIFE .

Somebody needs to buy me this for christmas. Like, seriously.

[sailorcoruscant.livejournal.com]

So I shared the egg cup on my g+ feed, and this conversation (http://i42.tinypic.com/14t7cq1.jpg) ensued (warning: image contains many dalek-related sex puns).

VELOUR CYBERMEN. For those who thought they needed to be a little bit more cuddly!

[chocolatepot.livejournal.com]

Oh, I want that eggcup. It would go so well with the Dalek mug I got at Tesco for Easter!

Is it wrong that I am coveting that egg cup?
