This review is from: Doctor Who - Master Laser Screwdriver (Toy)

I admit it: I kind of like the new master better than any of the older ones. Why he dumped his trademark Tissue Compression Eliminator is a matter for speculation, but the Laser Screwdriver is a worthy successor...one that's now available to mere earthlings everywhere as a spiffy toy.

This is certainly one of the better television replica toys I've seen. It's made of plastic, but the resemblance to the TV prop is more than adequate. It's the same size, has great detail, and even duplicates the pop-out barrel, which you can trigger with a button on the side.

The toy can make two noises-tap the button, and you get the laser noise. Hold it down, and you get the "lazarus technology" noise. The first noise is fairly loud, but the second can be hard to hear. The end has orange lights that turn on in time with the noise.

It requires three button batteries, which can be a challenge to install-the barrel rotates out, which reveals a battery door with a screw that has to be removed. I really wish it took a standard triple-a cell, which would be easier to replace.

But that's a minor complaint. It's a superb toy, one sure to delight any fan of the series.

I know this will sound funny, but I bought this for my husband as part of my wedding gift to him. HE loves it and carries it around in his laptop bag. Its just a fun toy. Reason why it lost a star, cause its kinda pricey for 20 bucks for a light and noise, but hey my hubby loved it!

This review is from: Doctor Who - Master Laser Screwdriver (Toy)

When I ordered the Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver for a friend, I found myself jealous enough to get my own screwdriver - the Master's laser version. An accurate reproduction of the device from the show, it's relatively well-built and quite fun for any Doctor (or Master) fan. While the Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver makes two subtly different sounds, the Master's Laser one has two easily distinguishable (and controllable) sounds - tap once for the higher-pitched laser noise, or hold down for the 'lazarus' noise.

However, there are some downsides. Firstly, the Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver takes a little finesse (and a screwdriver) to remove the core and get to the batteries, but with the Master's, a gentle twist in the right way and the entire core just slides out - not too durable a construction, in my opinion, though it does make accessing the battery compartment easier. Secondly, when in the compact position, my Laser Screwdriver will randomly go off with light and incessant noise until the tip is extended. This is probably because when not extended, the core sits loosely in the handle piece, so the slightest shift will hit the tiny trigger button on the core. I recommend carefully storing it with the tip extended.

Overall it's a fun toy and perfect for going up against the Doctor (or anyone armed with the Sonic Screwdriver). Just beware of it going off randomly in your pocket.
