Doctor Who - New 8th Doctor Costume/Sonic

God that thing is ugly! Was The Doctor going through a steampunk phase when he built it?

Actually, I like Steampunk.

You can't say that you like Matt Smith's sonic, can you? That thing is hideous. It's like one of those grabber claws (with lights) from some boardwalk game.

Matt's sonic reminds me far too much of the old Master's Tissue Compression Eliminator.

On the contrary, I saw a design just today that bridges the gap perfectly over on the TARDIS Builder's forum.

Check it out:

Teletran's sonic

Wow! That's a top-notch update on the classic design! I wouldn't mind having one of those for my 8th Doctor cosplay.

Let me help you guys continue to catch up:

This isn't the official sonic nor is it recognized by BF or the BBC. It's just a cool build based off some really, really cool 3D renders by Teletran.

I had also posted a thread on that replica here on the RPF:

I'm hoping some day to get a picture of Paul McGann holding that sonic and get his feelings on it vs. the Weta sonic he was given. The Weta looks to me like a slap together scrap sonic his incarnation would make while trapped in a dungeon or prison or abandoned satellite somewhere.

The more I think about it the more I don't want to see 8 regenerate into 9. That way 8 can stay eternal in my mind. Like was said earlier - thanks to the BF audios he really has become my favorite Doctor too.

Sums up my feelings exactly.
