"Calling all collectors this is the gadget for you!"
5 stars"

Is it a bird is it a plane no its the gallafrayan sonic screwdriver used by the legendary doctor himself. A marvelous toy and collectors item. It practically sells it self. It is a very easy device to use and it won't let you down. I rate this 10/10 it is that good.

"Coolest Christmas morning present!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Fortunately function has no bearing on how cool an item may be; so, although the sonic screwdriver may be completely pointless, it is completely cool. Easily the coolest present at Christmas.

The Eleventh Doctor's sonic screwdriver is an excellent piece of Doctor Who memorabilia, as well as a cool toy! No problems with the product at all, highly recommended to all Who fans

"Fantastic! ( 9th doctor) Brilliant! (10th doctor) Awesome! (Me)"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

It looks and works just like the real one, I love it and as soon as I got it I started sonicing EVERYTHING! only downside is the fact that you have to use a different button when it is extended, but that's it. It also has 2 secret sounds. If you press the button 3 times and hold it down on the 3rd press it makes a weird sound and if you press the button any more times than that it sounds and looks like it is getting interference. 10/10

"Must have for the Whovians "
4 stars"

A great replica/toy of the 11th Doctor's sonic screwdriver. The flap covering the end button becomes loose very quickly and when the Sonic is extended, you can only use this end button. Otherwise a great piece of memorabilia for Who fans young and old

"Love it!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Well packaged and swift delivery. The sonic itself is brilliant – decent size, good sound and light, and it doesn't feel or look like it's going to break any time soon so I'm very happy :)

5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Awsome Colectors Item! It says it's a toy but it really isn't. What's Awsome: #1 Same size as series prop. #2 Springs up. #3 Makes the same sound as series prop.

What's NOT Awsome: #1 Claws at the top arn't very strong.

"Perfect for Halloween or a Friday"
5 stars"

It's an awesome toy and great for cosplay, halloween or even just a regular day at work! I love mine and it's super fun to sonic everything around the house. Perfect for any Whovian!

"Pure Awesome"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This thing is really fun to play with. It's surprisingly satisfying to hold and feels pretty sturdy too. There is of course the design fault that the button on the shaft doesn't work when extended (thus the red button on the bottom) However you can slide your thumb up to the textured silver bits and pull it down ever so slightly. The lower button on the green internal part will engage and with a little practice you can even get it to stay on.

"Timey-Wimey"
5 stars"

I've had one of these since they were first released and it's awesome. There are an additional two ‘secret’ sounds available, too, which was a fun discovery.

"Sonic Screwdrivers are Cool!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The ultimate weapon against thousand's of galaxies could be yours. Although the Sonic Screwdriver doesn't do much in reality, it makes the perfect collectors item.

The only turn down with this amazing toy, is the flap at the back, which reveals a red button, used to activate when in “Extension Mode”. The flap seems very lose, which can get a bit annoying.

Overall, no matter what the negatives are…This is a MUST HAVE TOY for any Doctor Who fan!

"Adrenaline Rush at 1st Touch!"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Such an awesome piece, though admittedly the first time pushed the extend button and it popped open, a bit of the screwdriver went flying off, not a major and nobody but me could know, but the thing is that I DO KNOW and its a lil disheartening but oh well! I love it and friends and family roll their eyes when sonic everything I see, including them! Took me a while to figure out it had four different light/sound settings, and I stumbled acrossthem by accident. Since it doesn't say anything about them in the instructions, here they are if you don't already know.. Settings:

  1. Push button once for first sound
  2. Push again for second sound
  3. Push button 3times rapidly and hold for third sound
  4. Push button and hold 4 times for fourth sound

Enjoy! (I know I still do!)

"Great prop! Must have for fans."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Perfectly scaled. A bit annoying to use the SFX while it's extended but it's still a perfect representation of the 11th Doctor's screw­driver for fans.

"Looks great - will be great fun"

Purchased on Mighty Ape

Still to open but looking forward to this as it looks just like the real deal.
