Oh, I'm well aware. I appreciate the obsession of over it and not just because of the merchandising.

But that only makes me even more weary of it.

If it was Star Wars or Star Trek, it's just that a merchandiser would have done this video instead of the actual IP owner.

That was fast!

Looks like Disney are handling all the DW promo at SDCC and have put it in with their kids shows. (And quite right too.)

Oh I dig those trainers! Probably very expensive if they actually on the market.

 

[Turbo]

I can't decide if I like them or if they look like bowling shoes. (Or both.)

 

[marillion]

Either way, I'd buy 'em!

There is a segment of Doctor Who fandom that are really into the various sonic screwdrivers--mostly as collectibles and/or props for their costumes.

Hence Character Options having sold out completely on the first day and them now going for crazy prices on ebay.

Though not as crazy as this.

Yeah, that's definitely a buyer beware sort of thing. Some stuff are being presented as toys, while others as high-end collectibles--the latter of which can indeed have ridiculous prices. The now defunct Anvos did that with Star Trek: Discovery phaser pistols, IIRC.

Can't say I'm surprised the new 14th Doc's sonic has already sold out. I must have seen at least a half-dozen video links about it on my YouTube recommendations already, so to say it's trending today might be an understatement...

While doing his cover shoot for Rolling Stone UK, Ncuti Gatwa talked about being cast on Barbie, what he loves about The Doctor and Doctor Who, and how David Tennant was one of the first actors he looked into when decided to become an actor himself:

David Tennant now feels very, very old

Also someone call Barbara Broccoli and tell her Ncuti wants to be a Bond villain!

It gives me shivers to see Doctor Who promoted alongside big stuff like Percy Jackson and Goosebumps.

I really think after all these years Doctor Who might be poised on taking a step into a much bigger arena. Very exciting stuff. I'd say within the year Doctor Who will be far more 'visible' to the public than Star Trek even.

I like the new sonic, the 11th Doctor's is my favorite but this one looks good, I especially like that it has some claw things that pop out.

Though it sounded like this is just a special pre-release version colored with metallic silver rather than the standard brushed-silver-color paint normally used on the toys. There's probably going to be a normal one, later.

Though they do drive me nuts with their variations. They seem to just randomly add and remove features without rhyme or reason, and I don't know if there's any fan-site or anything that'll help you figure out if the one you're about to buy is the good version with all the features, or one that's been stripped down to the minimum. For instance, I'd had a River Song sonic, it was damaged in a move, so I bought another one, not realizing until I got it that the second one didn't have the extra lights under the little removable door or the ability to switch the color between red and blue.

Disney's DW Logo.

Wild. What a time to be a DW fan again...

It's like a cross between 10 and 11s sonics.

I was in the queue, had one in my basket, but had to go tend to other things… and now I shan’t be getting one I expect.
