The ‘Other Doctor’ is the Doctor’s dark chapter, an _hitherto unknown incarnation whose existence he has spent centuries repressing, a secret he wants no one to know of.

other-doctor-sonic580

He is a relic of the past, part of the great Time War, when he spent centuries fighting alongside his fellow Time Lords against the Daleks and made the final decision to end it with a desperate act that cost that incarnation the right to use the name “Doctor”.

8.5-sonic

This haunted and battle-worn Other Doctor is finally forgiven after helping find a new solution to end the war, giving the Eleventh Doctor a new purpose as he heads into further adventures.

The Other Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver, as seen in the 50th anniversary episode: “The Day of the Doctor”. Includes sound and light FX.

Requires 2 x AG13/LR44/L1154 button cell batteries, Demo batteries included. Ages 5+.

      I got No.10 (I was actually 7th in the queue but I asked for that one!).
      It’s easy to open, the bag has an adhesive flap like a post-it note.
      The card cover is held on by magnets so it just pulls off.
      Gentle open the gap at the top to relieve pressure on the tab that is pushed into the end flap of the box and pull it out.
      If required use a blunt knife to easy the end flap open by placing it under the flap at the open end so the pressure on it doesn’t cause any tearing on the lip of the lid.

      Inside there are two trays. The top one contains the Doctor whilst the lower one is the stand.
      These slide out and the Doctor is sandwiched between the two layers of the tray which are clipped together courtesy of a few ’notch’ like moldings.
      I finally got around to opening mine last night to position him better.

    Are the sounds it makes based on the new series sonic screwdrivers?
    To be honest I can’t remember what noise John Hurt’s made in the episode to begin with.

    Basically that’s what they had for the movie. They took a 4th Doctors sonic hacked it up and stuck bits on. So technically what you’ll get when buying this is a prop replica.

    will they make a 5 inch john hurt doctor and will there be a new release for the 8th doctor figure from “Night of the Doctor”? and if so will there be a figure wave for the 50th anniversary figures like have a Zygon, Cate Stewart, 11th doctor new outfit, john hurt doctor, Clara, 8th doctor, Bad wolf rose, 10th doctor, and timelord warrior (all in 5 inch)! what do you guys think? and will they make the new tardis?

      No, the 5″ line is dead now unless it’s classic figures. I would really love a 5″ 50th set (even just a clara and war doctor) but I really doubt it.

    • Connor

      November 25th, 2013 - 12:59am

      is there going to be a 13 doctor box set with a john hurt doctor and peter capladi? and will there be a new release for the 8th doctor figure from “Night of the Doctor”?

      No

      only other thing there was was a plush Oswin Clara and another potato head (no photos allowed) on the UT toys stand although FP seemed to have loads of stuff they have not started to despatch yet like all the new titans such as 11 doctors, all the 6.5″ and 8″ ones and the pizza cutter and some other bits

      BBC shops was heaving, loads of 10th Doctor holo’s and loose 10th doctor sonics for some reason

    • Kroton

      November 24th, 2013 - 11:53pm
