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.

October 16th, 2010 - 5:15pmIntersting how things like this get announced, about may-time last year, and there only just out now! 😆
Which reminds me of a certain enfuriating matter; when the FRIG is the Screwdriver by WowStuff being (at Long-Last) actually released into the world of business, so it can actually BE given to me! I was intending to have it for the Live Show, on NOV 7th, way more awesome thatn any kids Sonic, which they buy in stacks and stacks and stacks offa adsa, the places are actually over-flowing with the thing, it needs to stop being made!

August 26th, 2010 - 6:24pmOMG i can’t believe they are going to release a toy of the third Doctor. I’ve not seen any third doctor episodes before but they look really good. I still like the Eleventh Doctor’s sonic the best, but this one looks brillient.[img]Smile[/img]

August 17th, 2010 - 2:30pmAfter This I reckon there will be a fourth and fifth, maybe an eighth doctor sonic screwdriver, since are roughly the same sculpt. A Second Doctor one, although just a penlight will also be cool. I would also love a Sonic Lance
