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.”

July 16th, 2015 - 6:55pmAhhh! I really want to see a video of this showing it off.
I love these sort of gadgets and the wand company are just great.

July 15th, 2015 - 1:17amI’m still experiencing a bit of sticker shock but the fact that it’s a fully functional up to date replica of the actual prop AND a universal remote makes it more of a value, I guess. I actually just ordered some Twelfth Doctor gifts for a friend from ThinkGeek, including a Sonic Screwdriver vegetable peeler that’s quite reasonably priced, though probably not safe for cosplay.

July 14th, 2015 - 11:39pmNice piece for collectors, but it looks exactly like the eleventh doctors sonic.
booboo
July 15th, 2015 - 4:25amthat’s because it is – but it belongs to the 12th now, but as a product this has additional features over the previous one
Alex
July 16th, 2015 - 7:31pmWith BooBoo I think like the CO version, using the title “12th Doctor’s Sonic” is just a way to allow people to differentiate between this version and their previous version which will always be called “11th Doctors Sonic Screwdriver Remote” Ironically this version extends, and Capaldi barely extended it once in Series 8 :’)
Action Jackson
July 13th, 2015 - 11:36pmI literally just got the 11th doctor one in the mail 2 Days ago now the extended one comes out!?! Oh f@$k me!

July 13th, 2015 - 10:51pmNo chance of a rebate for those of us who rushed to buy the Eleventh, I suppose? Oh, well….
Alex
July 14th, 2015 - 8:00pmWhy not whack the first online to pay for the new one, or you could turn it into a custom if you don’t want the spare? I recently made a custom 12th Comic Sonic (A silver and black version of his) and it really brightened up my spare 🙂

July 13th, 2015 - 4:29pm“Flick it open and the clasps extend.” Does that answer your question

May 13th, 2015 - 9:08pmSo there seems to be a button on the leather part, so I take it there isn’t one on the bottom like the original
EndlessTimelord
May 13th, 2015 - 9:16pmNo there’s not! 🙂 Also they confirmed there was different details! 🙂
The four Doctors
May 13th, 2015 - 8:41pmThat is going to be so good
EndlessTimelord
May 13th, 2015 - 8:30pmI asked TWC the main question everyone is asking and here’s the Q and A:
Q:Can we flick it open and is it just fixed in extended mode?
A:It’s not fixed in extended mode and yes you can flick it open.
And the button works like the 9/10th Sonic! So it’s the ultimate sonic!!!! 🙂 😀 😉
The Twelfth Doctor
