Assault Dalek
As the name 'Assault Dalek' hasn't been used anywhere in Doctor Who media (other than the Character Options figures), I don't think it qualifies as canon. The blow torch attachment is covered in Manipulator arm.

Additionally, Merchandise doesn't count as appearances, (other wise we'd have a hell of a time with the various Dapol figures and everything that came out of the Dalekmania in the 1960s).

Which brings me to accuracy of the merchandise, back in Dapol days they released a green K9 (because the photo the BBC gave them had K9 photographed on green grass, making him look green). This doesn't make K9 green or canon. (sorry random facts)

If there is ever an Assault Dalek article, it needs to be backed up by something more than the merchandise. (Also remember to sign your comments on talk or forum pages, it's the button third from the right on the row of buttons above the text box, it looks like part of a signature, or you can add it via four tildes (~), the symbol next to the 1 on a keyboard whilst holding shift: ~ ). --Tangerineduel 12:31, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


 * The Doctor Who Wiki RARDIS Index File does consider a lot of things that haven't appeared on TV as canon.

On this wiki there is generally just one canon, the idea of 'expanded universe' or secondary canon was explored early in this wiki's inception (when inspiration was sought from other wikias), but has since been discontinued owning to the complex nature of the Doctor Who universe.
 * As for Merchandise categories see Category:Merchandise.
 * There is some what of a difference between fandom and a wikia, can you cite a similar example within the wikias that also uses merchandise as a valid resource?
 * As I said before, if there is a primary resource that can back up the name of the Assault Dalek then it may qualify for an article of its own, or a sentence or two within the Dalek variants article. --Tangerineduel 13:05, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
