The Who shop has announced the toy will be out in June for £16.99.
I'm curious to see if the toy will have the light patterns the new prop does. I'm sure it will have sound and light up, I just wonder if it will have the actual light pattern and the multiple modes.
There are 2 versions of the River sonic. The original had the neural relay hidden behind a panel which had lights which flickered as on the show. When it was re released this function was removed to save in costs.Based on the fact that the River Song sonic didn't have a proper Neural Relay I'm going to say no. They always cut corners on the toys (ie all the classic sonics use the same sound as the 9th/10th sonics, River's relay just blinks on and off) so unless they up the anti on the electronics and the quality of the exterior suffers, it's likely we'll get Blue and Green modes but nothing more than simple flashing and a few sounds. Of course, it's possible but the mechanics of it are more complicated than other sonics. They'd need four different positions for the slider switch and a push switch for the regular sonic light/sound so that's five sounds, four light colors/patterns and two switch types. Plus, they have to save something for the inevitable re-release later on. Since we haven't seen a lot of the functionality in the show they may have this first release be a simple up-off-down switch with blue and green mode and maybe a press button for the solid, normal sonic light and sound and see more functionality in the next one.

My understanding is that the CO toy will have rotating lights but haven't seen it myself yet.
I emailed Rubbertoe along with a picture of the supposed CO Sonic and asked if it was one of his.

Where did you find this pls looking for any more news
They've been saying that for a while now, however, they also said that about the extendable 11th sonic, yet as it turns out they had been working on it. The Wand Company is smart enough to know that there's a lot of demand for the new sonic and they would get a good amount of business from selling it.Sorry to all the wand company fans but when I messaged asking them if they were doing the new sonic they said they had no plans for it which probably means you'll have to wait ages I have screen shots but not sure how to upload them yet
