Product Description

The Sonic Screwdriver is a versatile tool and defensive device first used by the Doctor in his second incarnation for opening up hatches, panels and controls. Later uses included cutting through wall sections and even as a conventional screwdriver. During the Third Doctor's exile on Earth he had a larger and more elaborately detailed version, which had a decorated silver handle and black and yellow stripes. This version had even more functions including detecting security traps, remote detonation of mines, opening doors and restraints, creating ignition sparks and again removing screws and fixings.

I bought this for my best friend who is a Jon Pertwee loyalist. She was so happy, she nearly thwacked her head on the celing from jumping too high. I love seeing her smile at the little things (Got to enjoy the little things). I can't wait for the Fourth Doctor's Sonic Scredriver (I'm a Tom Baker loyalist). I'd buy it to continue our race to see who gets the most merchandise. Support long stirpy scarves and Jelly Babies!

Since Pertwee is by far my favorite of the classic Who Doctors I just had to have this Sonic. Looks pretty darn close to the one seen on screen. NuWho sounds though, which is a bit odd but then again, sound department really couldn't agree on what the sonic sounded like during the 3rd doctor's time. Changed every appearance it had or at least it seemed like it.
The emitter seems kinda off with its orange-y soft plastic. Fragile too. The barber's stripe is a sticker and not painted on but I'm okay with that. Fits perfectly in hand much like 10th's sonic does. Even though it wouldn't be in-scale with the show I'd kinda like to see a larger 11th-esque version come out.
The big negative about this thing is the price. It's a toy. With two sounds, no lights, no gizmos. Yes, it is meant to be a collectors item but for this price I'd expect at least a die-cast base. Considering the numbers are supposed to be limited and it is still pretty cool I'll let the price slide.
If you have/or are a Pertwee Doctor fan, pick this up if you have a chance. It's great!

On the whole, this one is very cool. Some of the paint is a little unevenly applied, but it looks pretty good for a toy. The emitter on top does not appear to be connected by a very sturdy piece of material, and I'm afraid if a kid got ahold of this, it wouldn't last long. When the trigger is in the rest position, it supports the emitter somewhat, and if you carried this in a coat pocket, it would PROBABLY be okay.

The sound is good, but there are only two sound effects, played alternately, and they are very similar to each other. Moreover, they aren't very loud. If you were showing this to somebody at a sci-fi convention, he might not even hear it in the noisy convention hall.

Mostly though, this toy makes me giggle. I've wanted my own sonic screwdriver since I was five years old.
