You can Pre-order this item from www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk
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 wall sections and even as a conventional screwdriver.
During the Third Doctor’s exile on Earth he had a larger and more elaborately detailed version, which has a decorated silver handle and black and yellow stripes. This version has even more functions including detecting security traps, remote detonation of mines, opening doors and restraints, creating ignitions sparks and again removing screws and fixings.
In this exclusive release, we present an electronic version of the Third Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver with two sounds and spring loaded sound activation.
Underground Toys have revealed a brand new Doctor Who prototype at the San Diego Comic Con – The 3rd Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver …
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.
During the third Doctor’s exile on earth he had a larger and more elaborately detailed version, which had a decorated silver handle and black and yellow stripes. 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.

August 14th, 2010 - 5:52pmA whole new generation of Classic Who fans are busily building carboard models of the original Peter Brachacki TARDIS console. Of course they are.
It’s the best.
They’re all over youtube. So come along now Character Options. Come along now. Get yer finger out!

August 13th, 2010 - 5:04pmI really hate the paint on the yellow/black striped bit. The plastic there is too reflective.

Looks good, i’ve been waiting for one of these for ages, hope they do a 4th Doctor one too, if these aren’t on genera, release i’m gonna be annoyed

August 4th, 2010 - 9:49amI’ve just hatched an idea 💡 After this release they should make a 3rd doctor sonic screwdriver pen.

August 3rd, 2010 - 11:07amthanks, this makes sense now
I was wondering why two different companies would put both logos on it
booboo
August 3rd, 2010 - 10:57amNo, character hold the licence for this type of Doctor Who Merchandise.
Underground toys basically commission these items via Character or it could be a jointly funded venture hence both names.
