This came out a while ago but I thought I might as well review it now. For me in series 7 of doctor who the sonic screwdriver was WAY overused (I am writing an article about this in the 'features' section)but I guess it is the doctors greatest weapon in the whole universe. The Sonic is great, unlike some things it is quite easy to get out of the packaging. I can't remember if it came with batteries but it would be best if it did. It is very authentic to the original (be it in plastic) and the light and sounds are also very authentic to the original. The end bit is like a lid as it kind of opens and mine has fallen off which isn't very good. I don't like the fact that to press the red button under the lid you have got to have the screwdriver in the largest position I really hate that (hope you get what I mean) The colours are great and are again very authentic. Overall a great product and I am glad I bought one. Rating: 7/10.

This is a limited edition 50th anniversary doctor who item so it will be a great way to remember the 50th anniversary of doctor who. This was AWFUL to get out of the packaging, you would not believe how long it took us to get out of the box. First you have cut the sellotape off which is fine then you get to the wire which is a bit annoying but you get over it and then you have plastic covering every available orifice which Is hell trying to get off but you put it behind you and then you try pull it off the cardboard, look underneath and staring back at you are four screws glinting at you like the devil, anger rises in you but you think 'maybe it will be easy to get off' I get my sonic screwdriver and spent half an hour getting them off and by the time they came off you just want to throw the damn thing from the window! Once you get through this horrifying ordeal you will find that it is really great and good for any whovian around the world (well unless you don't like the Union Jack) The SFX are great using phrases like 'you will be obliterated' and of course 'Exterminate!!'. The voice is very clear and easy to understand and sound very Dalek. The eyestalk lights up as you can see in the picture and the ears also light up when it talks but when it lights up, it doesn't exactly match what it's saying also the ears keep stopping flashing (but that may just be my dodgy batteries). The detail in the sucker arm and eyestalk are all very authentic and well made. The paint is just brilliant, I was expecting something wrong with the painting but it was all even and resembled the Union Jack perfectly. Overall this is a great product and definitely worth picking up. Thanks for reading!

If you have any more questions visit the site www.dw-figurines.com or email me. (my email in top right corner) Well if I am honest I HATED this set. I am not saying this is a bad set, I hated it because this was the first character building set I had ever bought and it was so hard to build! I am not even joking when I say it took me almost a year to build it; I got it for Christmas, tried for a month left it for three months, tried it for a month left it for four months then in around September time I really tried and I finally got it built (with a few pieces missing) and I must say it was very rewarding to have it finished. Once you have got past the difficulty of understanding the instructions and building the damn thing you discover it is a brilliant set if you build it wrong then the walls are a bit flimsy and it is a lot smaller then you think but you can still play with it. For the building of it I give it 1/5. For the likeliness and the actual finished thing I give it 4/5. Overall a good set but it is incredibly hard (for me) to build. Rating: 5/10. |
