A novel Doctor on Doctor Who means neweverything : Modern monster , unexampled best friends , new TARDISes , and new gear . That include a new Sonic Screwdriver , the Doctor ’s jack - of - all - trades technical gimmick — and while we got a very tiny wink of itin the newfangled drone today , we now have a smashing look at its very strange visage .
Naturally , it ’s because the Thirteenth Doctor ’s Sonic Screwdriver is now a miniature to bind into the coming series , and actually available for purchase at Comic - Con . If you ’re not at the show , the 7.4 - inch - retentive miniature will slay ledge in August , forward of Doctor Who’shighly - anticipate returnlater this year .
While the toy dog itself is somewhat nifty — it lights up , just like the one on the show , and make all the appropriately buzzy sonic screwdriver noises you ’d desire it would make ( it alsorotates ! ) . But it ’s surprising from a invention point of view just how , well , alien this new sonic is . It look weirdly organic , from the quartz glass wanton source to the metal shell , and the fact that it curves and plait rather of being a straight little technical combining weight of a magic wand . It looks constitutive and flaky in a way the transonic screwdriver never has before .
Past reading of the gadget , especially in the modern revival of Who , have meant to share a design link with the TARDIS console table way that created the gadget — sharing similarity in aesthetic and color with the current “ background topic ” of the Doctor ’s ship . Could this ethereal - looking sonic give us a hint that the Thirteenth Doctor ’s TARDIS console room could depend equally fetid ? She emphatically needs a new one after the whole “ getting thrown out of the TARDIS mid - air while its insides exploded ” thing in the last Christmas special !
Doctor Who returns this fall . If you want the Doctor ’s latest gadget for yourself and are n’t presently vworp - ing your way across time and space to San Diego , it ’ll be usable for pre - order from next Wednesday , July 25 , at theBBC ShopandHot Topic .
