With Jodie Whittaker's Thirteenth Doctor, the design changed again, but the providence of the companion device was different this time. Instead of the TARDIS providing a new version, Thirteen is seen constructing her new Sonic from scrap and a glowing orange component from an alien space capsule. Her Sonic glows orange through the whole body of the device. The first images have been released with confirmation that the eagerly awaited Sonic will be on sale within weeks! The Sonic Screwdriver comes in a moulded-foam lined protective instrument case, which also houses the charging cable, manual and die cast metal display stand. Following the success of the 11th Doctor Sonic remote, The Wand Company have created another gem. The Tenth Doctor Sonic Screwdriver Universal Remote Control is a 1:1 scale replica of the sonic used by David Tennant’s 10th Doctor. In FX Mode, a double press where you hold the second press down allows you to access 11 other sonic sounds. As long as you hold down the button, a different sound will be played for each gesture you do.

Each time a gesture is performed correctly, the Sonic will send the infrared (IR) remote control code that is programmed onto that gesture and will make the standard sonic buzz. If no IR code has been programmed onto that gesture, the Sonic will say “unassigned“. Look down this list of frequently-asked questions to find answers that will help you if you are thinking of buying a Twelfth Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver and want to learn more about how it works or how accurate it is. This Sonic features static, flashing & chase light modes and four sound FX - lights up blue and green!I actually like the design of this Sonic to say the least, it looks nicely made and doesn't feel as cheap as the earlier incarnations. The cheap buttons of Nine's Sonic won't be missed and it this one doesn't need to flip. Instead its main focus is the color changing ability. Which I think makes it all the better when showing it off. Are you or the BBC making a decent copy of the new scredriver..no offence about your plastic ones, but ive tried it on traffic wardens and doesnt disolve them! Reply The programmed IR codes are preserved even if the batteries are changed or removed. However, while in Programming Mode, ten short presses erases all memory banks and performs a factory reset. Caution: this operation can not be undone. If programming problems occur Make sure to insert the batteries the correct way round, i.e. with the positive pips facing into the Sonic Screwdriver battery compartment, and make sure that you align the two yellow dots on the housing halves when you reassemble the Sonic. Pressing the button with three short presses while the Sonic is in Control Mode or Quiet Control Mode, will cycle between the three memory banks, A, B, and C, to allow access to codes stored on gestures in each memory bank. Each memory bank stores up to 13 codes. Therefore the Sonic can store up to 39 codes in total.

This is perhaps the most noticeable difference between the hero prop and The Sonic Screwdriver URC. The Sonic Screwdriver URC has to come apart so that the batteries can be changed. To avoid unsightly parting lines and fixing screws showing on the outside of the Sonic Screwdriver, the ideal place for this was in the middle, and the cover ring was used to hide the join. This provides an elegant solution but means that the cover ring has to taper less than this feature on the original prop.Normally when you get instructions with some electronic device you immediately ignore them for the dull booklet they are; not so with the Sonic, The Wand Company attention to detail strikes again and they unfold into a large sheet with clearly written instructions on how to use the Sonic on one side and a blueprint style poster on the other…

The Twelfth Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver uses two AAA (LR03) batteries. Batteries are not supplied with the product and must be inserted before first use. Always use alkaline batteries and never mix old and new batteries. Do not use zinc-carbon batteries (which are often labelled “extra heavy duty” or similar) are much less powerful and don’t cope well with the large bursts of energy used when transmitting infrared (IR) codes. This new toy version is a faithful recreation of the current Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver which debuted in the Series 9 Episode ‘Hell Bent’.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. I know some people are incredibly irate about it, and I'm sure the screwdriver will show up again someday. But just to show that we can – why not?"
