Cyber Controller Voice Changing Helmet With BRAINS - Cyberman

Product Information

Early Cybermen had an unsettling, sing-song voice, provided by Roy Skelton, constructed by placing the inflections of words on the wrong syllables. These shoots are usually excellent and they freshen up the tired old BBC publicity images which get endlessly recycled across every piece of official merchandise.

For the uninitiated, this is the chest piece of the cybermen, one of the arch nemeses of the Doctor. In Revenge of the Cybermen and the audio play Real Time, their weapons were built into their helmets. A variety of specialized forms of Cybermen have been shown, in particular Cyber Leaders and Cyber Controllers, with power to command other Cybermen. Millennium's Martin Rezard was the lead sculptor of a full-sized clay Cyberman, from which moulds were taken to create over forty fibreglass pieces to make up the head and body of each costume.It seems likely that the shoot was arranged at the time pre-production was under way for Death to the Daleks which would begin shooting in November 1973.

They attempt to raise a new army on Earth using period technology, but are again foiled by the Doctor.Aside from the combination of Tomb, Wheel and Invasion components, there is an extra bit of interest to this costume. The Cybermen appear as enemies in Lego Dimensions, and one was added as a playable character in Wave 3.

In " Doomsday", a Cyber Leader appears, and when he is destroyed, mention is made of downloading his data files into another Cyberman unit, which is then upgraded to Cyber Leader. As it attempted to assimilate Amy, the helmet repeatedly opened and closed before it eventually fired a dart at Amy's neck, which rendered her unconscious. In "Doomsday", a Cyberman which contains the brain of Torchwood Institute director Yvonne Hartman retains a female-sounding though still electronic voice, as does the partially converted Lisa Hallett in "Cyberwoman" when her Cyberman personality is dominant.
