I am deffo a fan of the design as a toy although I have the standard version that doesn't have the additional sound effect when the emmitter comes out or when the eye peice slides out but overall very nice toy just wish it looked more like a sonic screwdriver in the show
As a sci-fi prop I think the design is gorgeous and would be perfect for characters like Rogue or other space and time travellers to possess, but as a sonic screwdriver design it’s atrocious 😂
Might honestly have been much more appealing if it were another characters gadget, they could have easily done a more screwdriver-esque shape for the doctor and still put in fold out lense gimmicks or a scalpel/lockpick or whatever really. Make it a sonic-multi-tool rather than a screwdriver, but still with the same old shape.
one of my favourite elements of this sonic is the lights. there's an incredibly subtle difference between the blue colour of the lights on the initial press of the first sound effect and when the whirring sound starts. Such a minute attention to detail that I think perfectly displays how much effort they've put into this.
I'll personally be calling mine a Sonic remote most likely, but I love it a lot! This is the only video I could find showing off the secret master sounds and lights, can't wait to get my hands on mine.
To the people complaining about it not being shaped like a screwdriver, I imagine they’ve changed it to look more like a handheld computer to move away from the magic wand comparisons
8:28 having an electronic sound when any action is performed. I always like whenever props does something like that it makes you feel like you’re actually doing something rather than just hearing a plastic chunk noise or anything like that.
Brilliant! this one grew on me. I used to hate it, but I love it now. The open and close sound effects really sold me on this screwdriver. I subscribed!
I can't see it happening any time soon (or ever for that matter) but it would be excellent to see a redesign of the 11's screwdriver toy that featured the open and close sounds
Okay so I’ve just received my Sonic Screwdriver and wow! But you’ve also missed out a sound. During the alternative mode with the green Chrystal, there is a second sound effect. If you click the main button twice, it makes a regeneration like sound effect!
Well, they've taotally f***ed up this once Classic Tv Institution, so the fact that they reworked the iconic sonic screwdriver to look like the sole of a shoe....I suppose was inevitable!!
batmanmarch 18.2K subscribers Cool! This new 15th Doctor Sonic Screwdriver looks like something outta the Ultraman franchise in my opinion.BTW.... is there any new for any upcoming Doctor Who Dalek action figure sets or any Doctor Who alien vehicle/spacecraft (aside from the TARDIS, as I already got one)? We better get some really cool, and very well detailed, and decent Dalek, Sontaran, and Cybermen spaceship toys.
Had me panicked there for a sec that I missed it going online on the store 😂. Im curious to see what the differnces between the standard and deluxe versions are
Same here, I was like, *_OH SHIT I GOTTA GET OVER THERE NOW-_* I hate that's how most people have to think nowadays when an online exclusive goes live... Damn those eBay scalpers.
I have no problem with this design on screen or otherwise. I do have a problem calling it a screwdriver. 5th doctor had the sonic lance. This can be called something other screwdriver.
Glad to see Matt survived watching good man goes to war to be able to do this review 😂 I too don’t like the design but think it’s an excellent toy and a great replica. Can’t wait to get it as I love to have sonics sitting beside me that I can fidget with.
I really don't like the new Sonic, it's used more like a Tri-corder now. Don't get me wrong it looks nice as a toy but it's lost its original use. The B&M release will have a less shiny paint job.
Not sure if I should go for thus version or the standard one buti know with the standard one it will not come with the laser screwdriver sounds which I don't mind not having on this sonice and I've heard the deluxe version is about £35 -£40 and the standard one is £25
I know there a tradition and theming that this design goes against... but its just so clever and 90 chic. But mostly, the sonic screwdriver has always been a bit absurd, they're honestly more akin to magic wands than a screwdriver. I'm not to hard up on this and this translation to physical form is pretty clean.
Makes me wonder when CO will release the pink and yellow versions, seeing as how a colour change feature for the casing couldn't be integrated on this.
I think it looks terrible.I really hope Russel T DAVIS Saying the normal screw driver looked like a gun is not true it sounded dumb thing to say .also what crazy guns has he seen😂
Oh no! What are they doing? I respect your positivity, but this looks ridiculous. At first I thought sole of a shoe and then a cheap, gaudy child’s smart phone. Just awful!!
It took me a while but I've really come around on this design and I absolutely love the proverb.

I like the idea that the Laser version of this is basically a cricket/mk 1 phaser
Wasn't a fan at first, but it's growing on me tbh do I miss the normal designs yes but it does look nice

So that second sound effect you are hearing in the "Laser Screwdriver" mode is the sound it makes when the Master "ages" up the Doctor!

That’s not a screwdriver that’s a remote control!
That's what I was gonna say
Which if we're honest is what the screwdriver basically evolved into anyway. At least its honest now.
It’s R2D2
I can’t wait to purchase one of these when they go on sale, looks like a great design 😊
Would make a great computer mouse

@@jmp_fr Yeah, It would of been neat to see open and close sound effects for when you have to press a button on 11's to extend it
Loving that outtake at the end 🤣
One word Amazing

0:01 *Jazzy* new titles there! 👍🏻
Been waiting for this review, excited to hear your take on the B&M wave
Great review, people will get through lots of batteries with this.
I’m glad we got the review before it went on sale, now I know to wait for this instead of preordering the standard from The Who Shop
Well, they've taotally f***ed up this once Classic Tv Institution, so the fact that they reworked the iconic sonic screwdriver to look like the sole of a shoe....I suppose was inevitable!!
this looks like something from star trek more than doctor who

I hate that's how most people have to think nowadays when an online exclusive goes live...
Damn those eBay scalpers.
Basically when the slider and emitter pop out there won’t be any noise and no special playing that’s about it tho
They have done a very nice job with this toy, but personally not a fan of the design or the series, so not for me.

It always reminds me of the under side of a child’s shoe.
Did they use a capol spoon for inspiration 😅
Now I can't unsee that. 😂
@@Dirty_Hamble lol

The B&M release will have a less shiny paint job.
No Idea what the price will be on character options website
40 quid ain’t too bad tbh , about right with inflation
@@keestar8740yeah and with how accurate this is in design and function I would argue it's well worth it
As a toy, it's fantastic. It replicates the look well. But what it replicates....is....eh:) Your Mileage May Vary.
Hi Matt, I want to contact you about a possible piece to review. What is the best way? Thanks!
Hot take, I love this design as a sonic screwdriver and this toy looks fantastic!
Same, absolutely love it. Can’t wait to get mine
It looks like a baby toy its not even screwdriver looking which is the point

Hoping they do, if not I’m just gonna take paint to the retail version 🤷♂️
@@unknown-fq9fn Good plan! 😊❤️
@@MaxCarnage1984 thanks man
Sonic R2D2
I think it looks terrible.I really hope Russel T DAVIS Saying the normal screw driver looked like a gun is not true it sounded dumb thing to say .also what crazy guns has he seen😂
Can't wait for this! I'm definitely gonna grab one when they're online!

Doctor. Who. The. 15th. Doctor s. Sonic.driver. Character
Ugh. This SS is just awful.
