Wand Company 12th Doctor Remote
The Twelfth Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver Remote Control is finally here to give Doctor Who fans what they have been asking for: a brand new, hero prop replica which is a superb recreation of the Sonic Screwdriver used by Peter Capaldi in Series 8.
A limited run of 168 laser-etched numbered Sonics will be available exclusively to purchase on the BBC AMERICA booth (#4129) for the first time at San Diego Comic-Con (8th-12th July 2015) prior to general sale from 7th September from www.BBCShop.com .
The new Twelfth Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver is a fully functioning gesture-based universal remote control which can control your TV and other home entertainment equipment. Learning the gestures and programming the Sonic Screwdriver is easy, and the intuitive gestures allow the user to become the Doctor. Flick it open and the clasps extend with a satisfying clunk; press the grip mounted button for instant light and sound action or use the Any-TV-Off function just for fun!
The Twelfth Sonic has been made in direct response to the huge number of requests that The Wand Company received from fans all over the world asking for an extending version of their famous Eleventh Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver.
“Since our Eleventh Doctor’s Sonic went on sale, we have had a constant stream of requests from fans of all ages asking us to make an extending version. It wasn’t easy to engineer a solidly reliable device that can withstand being repeatedly flicked to extend it, but we’ve been able to do it, and I’m certain that any fan of Doctor Who is going to love it,” said Chris Barnardo, co-founder of The Wand Company.
Jason Easy, Senior Licensing Manager at BBC Worldwide, said, “The Wand Company continually exceed expectations with their range of Sonic Screwdrivers, and the Twelfth Doctor’s Sonic is no exception. The Sonics are not just technologically sophisticated, but also beautifully made and have exciting features that delight fans.”

May 13th, 2015 - 6:00pmIt’ll be nice to finally get an extending 11th/12th Doctor sonic screwdriver metal replica in my price range, even though it’s primary function is as a universal remote control. 🙂
The five doctors
May 13th, 2015 - 4:49pmBit annoyed the US get it first (no offence to any USA users) as they don’t pay a licence for Doctor Who when we do and we basically are missing out 🙁
booboo
May 13th, 2015 - 4:53pmI dont think they will get it first it will just be shown first their
SDCC is a huge stage for deputing products to the public.
Besides there are numerous products available in the USA which never get over here

May 13th, 2015 - 1:38pmI must admit the phaser gun is nice though … the communicator would make a good remote for a tv …..
Massive 12 fan
May 13th, 2015 - 1:38pmIllskip this I’m one day going to have the replica prop of 12s. IlI’ll save for it.
VespiformsSting
May 13th, 2015 - 1:37pmIts a bit lacking in imagination…..another version of the same sonic screwdriver……still if that’s what they think fans want the lack of imagination must be coming from fans….

May 13th, 2015 - 12:43pmI think the bbc should make the 12th dr a new sonic and make a wand version of that
MickeySmith07
May 13th, 2015 - 12:08pmThey announced it. It’s an extendable 12th doctor sonic.

Nobody in particular
May 13th, 2015 - 8:59amI’m hoping for a 4th Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver, that’s probably the next most recognisable one. Unless this isn’t a screwdriver, of course

May 12th, 2015 - 11:06pmI have both and I like the sound affect feature on 10s better. 10s does open and close. Yes, you should get 10s sonic.

May 13th, 2015 - 12:47pmVery happy it’s just a re-jig of the 11th. Doctor’s sonic as I won’t be buying it. Now if Capaldi’s 12th. Doctor had a totally different sonic, then I would have had to have forked out for one.
The five doctors
May 12th, 2015 - 8:33pm:O Can’t wait to see what it is, maybe Patrick Troughton’s sonic?

May 12th, 2015 - 8:18pmI think it might be a classic Sonic Screwdriver. Either the 3rd or 4th. I would most likely suggest 4th because I know lots of people did email last year sometime.
Although it might just be the 11th Sonic with an extendable feature being marketed as the 12th Doctor’s Sonic.

Beep
May 12th, 2015 - 8:15pmIt might not be a sonic, I could see it potentially being Missy’s device from series 8
Doctor Stu
May 12th, 2015 - 7:52pmCould be Riversongs sonic hopefully

May 12th, 2015 - 7:51pmHmmm I know what Id like the Transmutator locator core from the key to time as a remote control with the cube as its stand…now that would be worth having and probably somewhat cheaper than the various excellent though expensive fan made versions of the Key to Time on the market.

May 12th, 2015 - 7:48pmWell I could suggest a well liked dr who character who would make a good remote control…but we”l have to wait for an ‘affirmative’ or ‘negative master’

May 12th, 2015 - 7:42pmPerhaps Capaldi has a new sonic…

May 12th, 2015 - 7:43pmwe dont know for sure and i doubt they would announce a product based on anything new before its even been aired

DoctorRiverTARDIS
May 12th, 2015 - 7:39pmI have all fingers crossed that it will be the war doctor’s, 4th doctor’s or perhaps a vortex manipulator (but that may be hoping too much) remote

The Foretold
May 12th, 2015 - 7:42pmThe War Doctor’s sonic is the only logical model of the Doctors left to make, due to the light emitter, but I just can’t imagine there being the demand. I think you would also struggle to make a replica out of it because the most accurate you will get is the Character Options product, given a toy Fourth Doctor sonic was the base of the prop!

The Foretold
May 12th, 2015 - 7:29pmI am curious as to what it could be. I can’t think of any suitable sonic screwdriver models beyond the Tenth and Eleventh Doctor’s. Perhaps River Song’s? I can’t imagine there being the market somehow. On the other hand, these also substitute as replica models at a cheap price so perhaps there is the demand!

May 12th, 2015 - 7:31pmI’m curious, to develop something new would need to be a good seller and i cant think what would do it of hand

The Foretold
May 12th, 2015 - 7:44pmNeither can I. River and the War Doctor’s sonics are the only logical choices left to make a remote control from, but I just can’t picture either being popular, certainly not the latter. River may be relatively popular, as I said these products also act as a replica prop, but one would imagine sales will be much lower than that of the Tenth and Eleventh Doctor’s.
