Sorry to be a debbie downer but it seems off to me. The red part on the bottom is wrong. I dunno if you're basing this off the screenshots or the toy itself but either way the very end of it seems off. Also, the black part of the emitter isn't sitting high enough and when the sonic is activated, you can't see enough of the black emitter. When he activated it on the show, you could see all of the black emitter and some of the rod it sits on.
I know it's just a prototype but I figured I'd point those things out.
Not trying to be a jerk, it actually looks really nicely made.

This may help visualize what WarMachine was talking about. It's not HD, but it's a decent shot.
This is where it is "extended." You can also see a little of the detail on the bottom of the red "button" there that appears to show a small lip and another white, silver or cream colored button on it. (it's like, "Yo dawg, I heard you liked buttons so I put a button on the butt your button's button so you can... not use any of them...")
As I'm sure you're aware, this prop was created by modifying a CO 4th Doctor toy. This is a great example of a fan prop that looks WAY nicer than the screen used prop. Moffat should have called in Russ to work on the show!

This is what I want to know as well. This is beautiful - even more pretty than the actual used prop itself.

But the prop itself wasn't a metal version anyway, it was a plastic toy. Basically, if you buy the toy which has just been released, you are also buying a prop replica 
The prop in the show was a modified 4th Doctor Character Options Sonic Screwdriver toy.

Everyone knows that. The purpose of this thread was to make a prettier one, for the discerning collector.

Prettier than the ACTUAL prop? So we're not going for accuracy then? Just prettiness?

With Russ, you get both!

There are those who want the prop as held by the actor. They'll be cutting up their CO toys. Then there are those of us who want the prop as held by the character. They'll be interested in this metal one.
Count me as part of the latter group.

Heh, Forbidden Planet added this to their War Sonic listing..
Despite our name - in this case we cannot ship internationally, UK and Irish customers only.
Mehh, rather have a metal one anyways.

I am definitely interested. I don't care what it was made of on the screen the plastic looks cheap, especially in the closeups!! On display with all the other METAL sonic screwdrivers it looks pretty lame.
Russ' work is always excellent!!
By the way, I do plan to buy the toy. I admit it's screen accurate, and at that price I wouldn't pass it up. Still, the metal will look more like a real tool.
