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.

    There are only 3 exclusives this year that are on sale at Comic con first, this happens a lot with all manufacturers at this show.

    I’m sure they will find their way here.

    The sonic is not on sale there and will be available like the silver nemisis cybermen/Tardis sets here at the same time as the US i’m sure

    Whatever you do though pre order this stuff as soon as it goes up for sale.

    Hmm, that was what all the fuss was about? I suppose it’s ok. Well it looks good. I’m not saying it’s rubbish or anything I just expected all the anticipitation would lead to something a bit more… Hmmm what’s the word? More big I suppose. Not big as in size I mean the other big!

    It looks exactly what it was like in doctor who in those times! In the sea devils episode the doctor uses it and comparing that to that makes a perfect sonic if you know what i mean…
