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.
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”.
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+.

Pull to Open
November 25th, 2013 - 11:09amI never saw that on the Friday, I’ll have to get it from FP.
I did pick up the ‘Day of the Doctor’ figure from Big Chief Studios.

November 25th, 2013 - 12:57pmme too (no 13) I daren’t take it out of the box
Pull to Open
November 25th, 2013 - 3:41pmI 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.
Pull to Open
November 25th, 2013 - 3:42pmInside 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.
McGann is the Doctor

November 25th, 2013 - 9:44amAre 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.
daff69
November 25th, 2013 - 11:24amI don’t think it actually made a noise TBH
Michael
November 25th, 2013 - 9:32amDoes it actually say ‘the other Doctor’ on the packaging? Is that his official title?

November 25th, 2013 - 7:18amWhat about the 10th doctor new figure, i think its new…..
The Silent Silent
November 25th, 2013 - 7:37amThe Holographic one ??
AJ
November 25th, 2013 - 1:08amBasically 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.
GallifreyanKnight
November 25th, 2013 - 12:19amI love that it’s basically a modified version of the 4th Doctor sonic screwdriver toy! 😀

Connor
November 24th, 2013 - 11:44pmwill 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?
Kroton
November 24th, 2013 - 11:57pmNo, 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 - 12:59amis 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”?

November 24th, 2013 - 10:49pmWere there any other exclusive items we haven’t been told about yet, booboo?
booboo
November 24th, 2013 - 11:16pmNo
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 - 11:53pmCan we not see the clara plush? And when does this potato head get released, I’m hoping for Christmas?
booboo
November 24th, 2013 - 11:54pmno photos were allowed
Kroton
November 24th, 2013 - 11:56pmOh, ok then. Hope they’ll release some information soon!
