New 10th Doctor Sonic Screwdriver Universal Remote

[Darran]

Just announced today and hopefully available in October: The 10th Doctor Sonic Screwdriver Universal Remote from the Wand Company. It's modeled on a 3D scan of David Tennant's own screen used prop. :thumbsup

Details are here: Sonic Screwdriver Universal Remote Control

Can't wait to see the mods this inspires.

Oh...oh wow! Let's hope they can keep the scale 1:1 for our modding purposes. It's a small prop, but I can't imagine the electronics would take up HUGE amounts of space so long as this thing could be designed to run on a single AAA battery.

...Fingers crossed, but I'm really hopeful seeing that they've scanned one of the filming props.

From the looks, its stuck in extended form
NVM.....

The wand company tweeted that the emitter head will extend and retract like the real prop. Hope this is true.

According to the detailed description, it will be extendable and retractable; like the original prop.

 

[Tom Starkiller]

Wow!! I also hope they keep it 1:1. Looks nice.

...so long as this thing could be designed to run on a single AAA battery.

According to the site it will have a rechargable LiPo... sweet. This is definitely on the Christmas list.

There's lots more info at their site, including measurements and the exact similarities and differences from the original prop... Sounds like it's going to be pretty great. The only concern I have is that the finish on the body will be injection-molded, which sounds like the CO toy. But I'll reserve judgement until pics are posted. Hopefully they have a way to do a much better job on that.

According to the Blogtor Who website the one they scanned was screen used and is actually the one owned by David Tennant. Don't think you can get a better reference than that.

I am soooo getting this when its out! I am a little too excited by this. I have a bad case of the jimmy legs.

 

[barbquebutt]

Holy hell. I have to own this. When Smith's came out I thought "Ehhhh...maybe if it were Tennant's..." and now my time has come.

 

[Xxblackbird]

This sounds fantastic! Very excited for it. I love my 11th sonic remote.

 

[Bluebox303]

Definitely getting it!

 

[The Cog]

This is great.....always looking for that next cool piece, and this one might just be one that i need to get if it is accurate enough!

 

[TimeyWhimyStuff]

Know what I'll be asking for x-mas! :love

When Smith's came out I thought "Ehhhh...maybe if it were Tennant's...

That's exactly how I felt!

 

[kursosawa]

Honestly, I wouldn't even mind if the crackle pattern is molded into the body as long as the lines aren't too deep/wide. After I finished repainting my mfx, the crackle lines were nice and deep.

Fantastic News! WIll love to add this to my collection! 1:1 scanned right from DT's personal one. Perfect!

 

[NakedMoleRat]

$110.00. Looks pretty close to the prop too. Looks like the body may be injection moulded ABS, while the metal is actually machined aluminum. A micro USB beneath the end cap to charge it with. Oh YEA! This will be in my pocket most everywhere I go!

Looks like they have refined the technology more too! I wonder if they would ever go back and redo the 11th sonic. Fix the shape of the connector. You could pull the end cap off and have a micro USB charger in it as well. And make it slide....

 

[AnubisGuard]

Oh man. If it's as good as it sounds...oh baby, YES! It's basically a perfect replica prop for a hundred bucks. Who even cares about the remote control functions? :lol

 

[Cap Fitzgerald]

My ONLY concern is the sounds, I hope their not as ridiculous as the ones on the 11th. They can do a lot of the random one off noises like the bleeping on Donna and stuff.
