It's clear that the dalek is protected but the question is if it is protected by copyright law or patent/trademark law.
- If it is protected by copyright then you might be right
- If it is protected by trademark then Harry is right.
I personally think that it is only protected by trademark. In post 95 Harry told us about it being a mass-produced good so I translate it that he owns some kind of a merchandising/advertising article (maybe I'm wrong here, but that's what I've taken from this thread). And it's implicated in the nature of merchandising products that you are allowed to take a photo of them and distribute it.
