Dr Who, Future Sonic Screwdriver (5ys+)

Happily the item was as pictured and described and was indeed the HQ version of this fantastic collectible piece and not one of the cheaper "collect them all" Sonics through the ages versions that are out there (which serve their purpose but not as a replacement for the original versions)This IS the all singing all dancing version with twin color modes, multiple sound fx and the pop up cover with the neuro-relay module under it with its own sounds and green led unit.I haven't taken it out to test it but its sealed well, has the hologram on the internal packaging and the features are all visible as well as being listed on the box.I own all 12 (ATT) of the "collect them all" £10 versions including the River Song version and it is totally different to this unit in size, colours and quality & not in a good way! The first wave were all terrible copies, luckily wave 2 and 3 have improved drastically)IMO every Who fan/collector should own this Future/River Song version as its the most important sonic & prop in terms of the story line across multiple seasons, 9th Doctor Sonic with Psychic paper, 10th Doctor and Other/War Doctor 50th Anniversary Sonics, 11th Doctor Sonic and new 12th Doctor "Touch Control" Sonic. Also the Temporal custom sonic set and the Charector Options "Collect Them All" versions are pretty smart to keep in their boxes and collect as there are some really cool and quirky features to a couple like the 9th Doctor's one being in sky blue...)Fair price. Well packed and received next day. Very Happy.

The version of this which I bought is of very high quality which changing emitter colour (blue and red) with green neural relay.Only slight issues:-some tiny issues with paint work i.e some gold spots on grey handle and a tiny spill of gold on the black end piece-the emitter lens has a tiny pressure crack but again is only truly noticeable when examining the emitter-the seam where the two parts of the main body meet as a gap a bit larger than others I've seen previously, but again nothing super major.Overall: Amazing, Detail is great with no legal guff on the body of the Sonic. Exactly as advertised. The small issues with my one do not bother me as they they are only noticeable on close inspection.

This Sonic Screwdrives is a really nice representation of the one from almost 10 years ago, from both River Song's debut appearance in "Silence in the Library / Forest of the Dead" and then a little cameo in "The Husbands of River Song". It glows blue and red, and has a removable panel, showing the neural relay device that was the final storage of River Song's soul, before Steven Moffat overplayed that plot twist to hell and back.

My mom bought this toy for me and i am writing a review for it.Its a great toy with fantastic features and detail as well as look, the price is reasonable because this toy is quite rare but nowhere as rare as in 2011 because it was pretty much impossible to find one in big shopping stores, the only way you could buy this toy was to go on Ebay which mostly has used ones, so very decent price, but could be cheaper.My only complaints are that the button is quite noisy making a loud click, the gold paint rubs off really easily, and you have to open a hatch to use the red/blue setting feature, but fantastic toy giving it a 5 star for me.

This was a very good product, one of the best sonics I've had. Though the product was good, the box was appalling. It was sellotaped shut and dented where it was opening from. The green, red and blue lights are very good, I've had it for about a month now and the batteries are still working. Very good overall.

As the first in my collection it is brilliant, a nice little sonic and the ring for your finger makes it unique in its self. I plan to get the 10th and 12ths sonic screwdrivers next but as for this one as a collection starter I was really impressed would highly recommend it to any Doctor Who fan or collector.

Got some really interesting features that make it stand out for me against the more recent models.More importantly my daughter who's a massive Who fan is over the moon with it as its 'the girl' sonic screwdriver so there will be no fighting with her Who mad brother over the sonics (he's got the 11th doctor one). Personally I think River Song's a pretty cool role model for a young girl to have so I'm pleased that she's acting out the scrapes she's getting into exploring the universe.

The delivery was quite slow and the cover that hides the red setting button was broken but everything else was fine.
