Underground Toys have revealed a brand new Doctor Who prototype at the San Diego Comic Con – The 3rd Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver …

classicsonic1 The Description…

The Third Doctor spent much of this incarnation exiled on earth .

Sophisticated and elegant this Doctor was more of a pure scientist than his predecessors, surrounded by gadgets and vehicles.

But whether aiding UNIT against invasion or travelling to distant planets his kindness and belief in peace was rarely stronger.

The Sonic Screwdriver is a versatile tool and defensive device first used by the Doctor in his second incarnation for opening up hatches, panels and controls.

Later uses included cutting through all sections and even as a conventional screwdriver.

This version had even more functions including detecting security traps, remote detonation of mines, opening doors and restraints, creating ignition sparks and again removing screws and fixings.

Later still the fourth Doctor remade yet another similar style of sonic screwdriver but with many more features and functions including micro soldering or circuitry, cutting wires and bulkheads and even detonating Dalek explosives.

    Hmmm, booboo, could it be a set? ❓ Because I was thinking it could be a classic doctors regenerating set. With just about all the classic doctors when they have just regenerated (excluding the 1st doctor and the 8th doctor). 😕

    When will they reveal pictures for the End of Time regeneration set.

    I think its the Sonic Screwdriver used by Baker or Davison maybe the Sonic Lance.

    I don’t think the pictures do it justice to be honest – hopefully there will be more news on this later

    the Underground item is definitely something classic

    I think this will be the new 11th Doctor TARDIS playset – prototype pics have already been leaked and can be seen on various sites. It doesnt look great…to be fair it’s not an easy TARDIS interor to replicate in playset form.

    Well that have said its not a figure, but that could mean its figures so to speak.

    Many people were expecting a Delgado master and 3rd Doctor Twin pack of some sort

    I reckon its a Roger Delgado Master Fig.
    What do you think? ❓

    Could be anything, but not a figure. A TARDIS would be nice, but with it being UT it’ll be expensive especially for the console. The mahogany one would be awesome, and hopefully a little slot to put the TARDIS piece used in PoM.

    some sort of masque of mandragora tardis because all the classic tardises have had the wrong light and key hole position that would only be right on a masque of mandragora tardis they did it with the jon pertwee and sylvester mccoy figures
