I'm not holding my breath but I'm hoping they hammer through what ever the hold ups are. I want my sonic screwdriver from them.

Me too but a little communication to let us know they haven't dropped the project would be greatly welcomed too.

I seriously doubt they would drop such a popular project

I replied to their message asking if the sonic was one of the "treats" coming. They said no, the new stuff would be from the "Next Doctor" episode. They told me that the sonics were still being worked out, no time frame yet, but they would let us know when they had news. :cool

That's a CLASSIC Sonic Screwdriver by RogueScout and, like usual, it's happy to see you.
I think this post deserves an award for having the worst post/progress ratio Seems like there hasn't been word one on the screwdriver, which is a total bummer. Let's hope they can pull it off before they change the design to suit the NEXT doctor.

My usual, quite perfectly normal reaction to this comment would be....."Up your Wazoo.....!" However, under the circumstances......:lol

Im starting to feel we could do our own run (maybe 2!) before these things actually come out.
Im hanging on the hope that the delay is because they want to refine it to be able to use one for the specials next year along with season 5.
I still wish they'd do an early season slider version though

Actually I should hear something from China in a few more days. Working on "Replacement metal parts" for the Character Options sonic. Here's hoping that the price won't make it unattainable!

Excellent! Was wondering about that, might have to order another sonic then and see what i can do about accurizing the "body" of it
I know its often been asked but how much oversized is the CO anyway?

Very cool! Here's for hoping!
The original sonic prop was an inch shorter than the toy. CO extended it so they could add a sound module and speaker. The current version of the prop matches the dimensions of the toy a lot better because the props department asked to replicate some of the improvements the CO design team put in. If you look at the Making Of stuff on the Season 3 DVD's Freema takes us on a backlot tour including a look at the machine shop that makes the sonic props. I was impressed to find that the new ones are metal bodied and very sturdy. The reason listed was Davey-boy's love of throwing the prop around.

Ah thanks, that would make my accuracy ocd calm down a bit then.
At least until this replica comes out...
