The brand new accessory from Character Options will be unveiled to fans on the Doctor Who booth at San Diego Comic-Con from Thursday 25th July, ahead of a wider release later in September 2024.
Character Options is delighted to reveal details of its brand-new Fifteenth Doctor’s sonic screwdriver, which will be available on the Doctor Who stand at San Diego Comic-Con.
Following Ncuti Gatwa’s first full season as the Doctor taking over our screens earlier this year, it seemed entirely fitting that the Fifteenth Doctor’s sonic screwdriver is to be given an exciting exclusive unveiling to fans on the Doctor Who booth at the San Diego Show!
Get the Fifteenth Doctor's sonic screwdriver at San Diego Comic-Con ahead of its release in September 2024.
The limited-edition version boasts an exclusive ‘electro plated’ finish making it look like real polished steel and brass. It features two modes of operation, Open and Closed, as well as five brand new and totally unique sound and light effects, with each accessed by a different button sequence. It’s the perfect piece of memorabilia to start any Fifteenth Doctor collection. As expected from Character Options, the sonic comes in Regeneration style packaging with a sturdy mailer box.
Al Dewar, Head of Product Development, commented: "I’ve worked on a few sonic screwdrivers over the years, but it is safe to say that to date this is one of the most complex and different by a galactic parsec!
"The Fifteenth Doctor’s device is a major step up in terms of complexity and function for the sonic screwdriver as a toy. On this deluxe version there are many new features including a uniquely shaped, swivel-out Power Core complete with flickering Power Crystal Chamber and on/off sounds. There are also three distinctly different sounds with accompanying light FX; a standard sonic sound, a data sound, and a lifeform scan sound. The spring-out and retract Emitter section also has its own sound and finally the slide out analyser comes with its own sound completing the sound FX.
"To be able to release this brand-new deluxe version at the biggest Genre Expo in the World, just as we did the Fourteenth sonic screwdriver is truly amazing and our thanks go to Bad Wolf and BBC Studios without whom this would never have been possible."
San Diego Comic-Con will see the first 1000 pieces go on sale, but fans will also be able to purchase this Special Edition of the Fifteenth Doctor’s new sonic device later in September 2024.
