Product description -
'At the time before time began, at the dark edge of eternal space a new world began to grow. Out of the swirling, boiling mire of creation came true and total evil. It was the first heart beat of a life force that was to evolve into a brain of terrifying power and genius - The brain within the creature called Davros. Half man, half machine, Davros pursued his insane dream of universal supremacy. He distorted the genetic chain of his species and succeeded in creating a monstrous being that had no pity, conscience or soul, a being that would come to terrorize and conquer whole galaxies. The all-powerful Davros, re-incarnated in the form of the terrible Daleks...'
