The Twelfth Doctor’s Second Sonic Screwdriver
Twelfth Doctor’s Second Sonic Screwdriver Blasts into Character Options’ Collection
After months of speculation it is now official, the Twelfth Doctor’s Second Sonic Screwdriver is to be part of the Character Options’ toy collection.
The first images have been released with confirmation that the eagerly awaited Sonic will be on sale within weeks!
This new toy version is a faithful recreation of the current Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver which debuted in the Series 9 Episode ‘Hell Bent’.
This is the first Sonic to have 4 light modes and four sound FX. The model has been designed as a replica from the Series 9 Prop.
As all fans would know, the Doctor has carried many Sonic Screwdrivers of various designs throughout his lifetimes, ranging from a simple silver coloured tube to more complex illuminated and articulated versions.
This second Sonic for the Twelfth Doctor, played by Peter Capaldi, was ‘gifted’ to him by the TARDIS itself after his previous version was lost.
Although we are yet to discover all of the new Sonic’s abilities, like the Doctor himself, it has become ever more complex and mysterious.
This multipurpose tool features numerous settings and can open most locks, detect all manner of deadly rays, read bio-signs and generate Sonic waves of great power.
Alasdair Dewar, Head of Product Development at Character Options commented:
“Since this Twelfth Doctor’s Second Sonic Screwdriver appeared at the end of series 9, we have been inundated by fan requests to produce a toy replica as part of our toy range. We are therefore very proud to finally be able to reveal it. The Sonic Screwdriver has historically been one of the most sought after toys for fans and collectors alike and we hope they will be as delighted with it as we are.”
The Character Options’ Twelfth Doctor’s Second Sonic Screwdriver costs just SRP £14.99
For a limited time only, exclusively on the Doctor Who Shop (USA and Canada), fans will receive a Gift with Purchase – one pack of three exclusive trading cards from the Twelfth Doctor’s limited edition set – with the new Sonic Screwdriver, while supplies last.

May 14th, 2016 - 12:20amThe Toys r us website is a joke! – Don’t rely on it for accurate information.
The same thing, as you describe, happened to me last year with the black shirt 12th doctor. I ended up buying it from forbidden planet instead.

May 13th, 2016 - 12:50pmFor everyone that is saying Toys R Us has them… are we talking about only UK TRU or also US TRU? It is my day off today and I want to hunt this down, but I need to know if US TRU have them or not.
My local TRU opens at 10, so I can’t call right now.

May 13th, 2016 - 9:52amJust managed to pick this up from my local Toys R Us. Must admit it definitely looks much better than I was expecting and am a bit surprised my store even had it in as this is only the second time they’ve actually managed to get a piece of Doctor Who merchandise out on the exact date day it’s due to be released. Mind you though, my store still doesn’t have the collector’s series in but it does have wave 4 of the 3.75″ figures.
booboo
May 13th, 2016 - 10:03amI always thought it would be the plan on this to have stock available at the time of the press release only problem is they seem to have forgot to tell anyone
WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby?
May 13th, 2016 - 1:27pmI’m just happy I managed to get this today as it’s not often that I manage to get a piece of Doctor Who merchandise, like a figure on the day it hits Toys R Us stores as my local store isn’t very good. However, I was surprised to find 6 of these on the shelves in there today because I didn’t even ring to check if it was in stock because when I ring to ask if a figure or set is in stock the person on the phone never knows what I’m talking about or tells me they don’t have the item.

May 13th, 2016 - 9:49amI think these are going to sell out fast in toys r us. My nearest store with it in stock is miles away.

May 13th, 2016 - 9:14amI initially hated the look of this sonic, but it’s grown on me a little.
Ordered it now, instead of wanting it later after it sells out and the price skyrockets.

May 13th, 2016 - 9:09amI pre-ordered one from Amazon as that’s my only choice at the moment, despite having to wait more than a month. I’ll keep an eye on other stores and cancel the pre-order if I can get one sooner/cheaper.

May 13th, 2016 - 8:09amOrdered mine on Amazon, can’t wait to get it. Is it just me or has my opinion changed on this sonic? I hated the look of it to start with but now I think it’s my favorite sonic.
