Reveal: 12th Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver

Although there have been a few glimpses of the 12th Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver, until now we had not really seen what it completely looked like. Jodie Whittaker herself unveiled the toy version of her Sonic Screwdriver at an event at San Diego Comic Con. The toy/collectible version is meant to be a perfect replica of the on-screen version and will feature a light crystal and two buttons to control the light and sound of the device.

The 12th Doctor’s Sonic screwdriver takes a turn away from the traditional Sonic Screwdriver design, having a more organic look. The light crystal is a soft lavender colour, but when let up, it becomes a fiery orange colour.

The Sonic Screwdriver is meant to be released in mid-August, but we are assuming that this will be a UK and/or US release date as in the past, the Australian release date has been much later unfortunately. At time of writing, no Australian release date could be found online.
