What do you guys think of this new sonic screwdriver from Nawya Replicas? Incredible to think that in the space of 12 months we've gone from having only one, very rare character options toy of this sonic available to now having multiple different toys AND this mid-way 'metal' sonic. At about 1/10th the price of a rubbertoe replicas sonic, this is a no brainer for me but let me know what you think!
@@order66collectibles The 9th and 10th is my absolute favorite of all time. I have a 10th from Nick, and it's so perfect. I love it! Thanks for asking!
I’m so glad these scalpers finally have some competition to stand up to their predatory pricing. Hope Nawya make an Eleventh Doctor one that extends later on too.
@@emperorholocron8278 me too - when you consider that a year ago you were spending £150 for a character options 12th Doctor sonic it’s just nuts. Nawya are working on a few more including the eleventh doctor’s 👍
As a fan in the US this was such a nice find, the daunting price of the Rubbertoe and other replicas always scared me away, i received mine today and im so happy with it.
Ah I’m so glad you managed to get one. This has blown me away. They’re working on more sonics which should be out in 2025 so keep your eyes peeled - I’ll be reviewing them the minute they come out 😊
COLOR I IMAGINE THE 16TH-DOCTOR’S SONIC-SCREWDRIVER MIGHT BE & WHAT FEATURES IT MIGHT HAVE: First off, I imagine the color of the 16th-Doctor’s Sonic-ScrewDriver might be neon light-purple colored. Next is imagine the 16th-Doctor’s Sonic-ScrewDriver, will be able to cure any computer of ComputerViruses, and if necessary make ComputerViruses very fast. I also imagine the 16th-Doctor’s Sonic-ScrewDriver, having a large amount of memory storage, super UV light feature that helps finding fingerprints, footprints, and hidden DNA remains. To add I imagine his Sonic-ScrewDriver, has super high level sound pulse, for defense against enemies, and a mega strong bright light to blind his enemies. Plus to add I imagine that his Sonic-ScrewDriver, has an extra feature to it, that makes it possible to be waterproof.
Oh i was not expecting that price at all! Especially for one so close to the rubbertoe replica, I'm quite impressed with this one and will be placing an order soon! Im hoping more affordable "down the middle" replica's begin to pop up! Would love a more affordable 11th sonic on the market that isnt just plastic, definitely a step in the right direction.
Right?! I thought it would be so much more expensive but this took me by surprise. This has shot to the top of my favourite list. Nawya have loads more planned - including an 11 version 😊 I’ll be reviewing each one as they come - can’t wait. We’re in a golden era for sonic collectors
12's is a funny one. I used to REALLY dislike it when Capaldi first used it on screen, i thought it was too bulky and weirdly shaped. Now though I absolutely love it and it is easily in my top 3 designs
@@peanutmuttplays104 He's a new addition to the family and only 4 months old....he's had 4 solid months of training to hunt and destroy any instructions he finds
Picked mine up a few days ago, absolutely brilliant. Hopefully Nawya do more budget friendly sonics because I sure as hell can't afford any Rubbertoe's.
Thanks for the video. And the flickability test - is the most important. As for the line, I'm thrilled. And this is probably the best option for those who not only collect sonic’s in the closet, but also walk with them as an accessory, or as the Doctor for every day (yes, somrone like me). And most of the replicas are usually not intended for this I.K. courts, according to many reviews, they are much more fragile than even the same toys from C.O. However, I always wanted something more than just a plastic toy. And i envy 12th fans, who have recently received not only the long-awaited reissue of their favorite screwdriver, but also 2 whole improved versions. And for example, I have a friend walking with a chrome one right now. And it’s so cool. Well, I hope that the company will not stop there.
thanks so much and I completely agree - this is a fantastic middle ground option for any fans who want something more than a toy either to collect and display or as their every day 'driver' sonic. In terms of them doing more - they've already got a prototype metal sonic for another new-who doctor's sonic but I'm not allowed to say which until they give me the green light but they definitely have more coming AND they've got a couple of non-who bits coming which also look incredible but are linked to other franchises
It’s measured up to my expectations and completely done away with some of the criticisms I saw of it. It isn’t a 100% replica but it’s a great midway point that regular fans who don’t have hundreds of pounds to spare can get with relative ease and without breaking the bank
Thanks so much buddy, really appreciate that feedback - always that nagging concern that the hours editing won't result in something people enjoy or find helpful. I've got a couple of bits planned - I should FINALLY have the deluxe 15th in hand in the next week or so, so just in time for the retail version to arrive for a full review and comparison and then I'm thinking of doing a complete new-who sonic collection roundup to show you guys each and every piece I have right now
Brilliant comparison video! Really detailed and very interesting to hear your thoughts!! Thanks for doing the video! And as you used your gorgeous dog to annihilate the instructions, I can’t say anything bad!!😂 James
Thanks buddy glad you enjoyed it! Are you still picking one up from Dark Cyber or did you go for one off ebay in the end? LOL I found a workaround so people have no choice but to love my method of destruction lol. He's a new addition to the family, 4 months old and that's been 4 months of intense training to hate and destroy any instructions he comes across lol. Is it wrong that I'm already thinking of ways to destroy the next sonic's instructions?!

lol that's amazing!! I've been walking around the house with it and sonic-ing everything. With the weight on this sonic its just extra fun and then the electronics are really crisp! Are you bothered by the blue sections being plastic?
No not really …. I knew what I was getting wasn’t something like rubber toe replicas or celestial toy store quality…. But the weight really won me over
Great video! I do have to say though, the clear tubes on the emitter are not too long. That's how they look in the show! They were only shortened for the Character Options and other toy releases. In the show, it protrudes slightly from the emitter section :)
Thank you glad you enjoyed it 😊 are you going to pick one up? Next to the rubbertoe they look a fraction longer but I’m 100% just nit picking for the sake of nit picking 😂
Nawya did a spectacular job with the electronics here! It helps that they did their own whereas rubbertoe relied on the original character options electronics
@@order66collectibles Thanks for the great video, by the way, I just got mine! I am absolutely in love with it. I've also felt a little silly and melted my visa card in acetone, took out the chip and stuck it on the tip of the screwdriver lmao. I can do my shopping with it now! (for most nfc readers. Not in restaurants, though, with the readers that connect to the phone. The frequencies are too low because I am not using an external antenna. Lucky me, my visa already had a built-in antenna but it is a bit weak and only works with some readers). I sometimes get the funniest looks, it was worth it
@@order66collectibles Thanks for the great review, by the way! This affordable sonic prop is just too great. I got one of my own copies just a week ago and decided to dissolve my visa card in acetone to stick the chip on the tip of it. I'm going to use my sonic as payments now, lol it only works with most new nfc readers though, but not in restaurants with these sumup things that connects with your phone.. I would need an extern copper antenna, but that would ruin the look of the sonic
It looks great and i find that sonic design to be a great fidget item cause i would take mt character options version Iand ruin through my fingers sorta like how a drummer would with a drumstick its also my second favorite design with Matt’s being my first favorite design but I was glad to see it when it showed up in the series cause I like each doctor to have there own design and at the time David was the only modern doctor to not have his own design cause he used the same design as Christopher did
Yeah I like this design too and I do exactly what you do with it and fidget with it like a drumstick. I loved my character options design and they became so rare to find, hard to believe a year later we’ve now got so much option on the market for the 12th Doctor!
@@order66collectibles who knows but I still have my character options one and if I haven’t worn out the basic green and blue settings could need a battery replacement and I do have the deluxe version thst was Also available at San Diego comic con cause i happen to stumble upon the BBC shop’s website having it available and a few days after mine arrived the link to it I saved stopped working so I guess they put it up and filled orders to soon and there is an extra setting on it that sounds like the master’s sonic that has 2 sounds on it and it can be accessed by pressing the activation button 15 times or 20 times i found it works either way and u can put it in the green setting and no matter which way u put it into the green setting u can take it out of it the other way like u put it in the setting pressing 15 times u can take it out pressing 20 times and vice versa and press the button twice in the green setting gives an extra sound
@@jack_grylls love it!!! This is absolutely the start of a slippery slope 😂 don’t worry, you can come here for help and we’ll definitely encourage you to make the right decisions 👀
@@order66collectibles It finally arrived! I can definitely vouch for the accuracy of your review! Mine did arrive a bit damaged but I think this happened during delivery (the two metal pieces at the far end of the pommel are loose). I'm currently talking to the supplier but in the meantime I still can't put this thing down! Interestingly, I think the flipped controls is actually accurate when looking at the first scene this sonic appears in at the end of Hell Bent.
The Rose gold parts is the only thing that really annoys me. How did you get that color right for the electroplated version but not for this metal version?
