New York, NY - May 12, 2016 – After months of speculation, BBC Worldwide North America announces
Doctor Who’s Twelfth Doctor Second Sonic Screwdriver will go on sale beginning today, Thursday, May 12th, shipping exclusively in the U.S. for $29.98 from
BBC Shop US and
Doctor Who Shop US and in
Canada for $37.98 from BBC Shop Canada
and Doctor Who Shop Canada.
This
new toy version is a faithful recreation of the current Doctor’s (Peter
Capaldi) Sonic Screwdriver, which made its debut in the season nine
episode, “Hell Bent.” This is the first Sonic Screwdriver
toy to have four light modes and four sound effects.
The Doctor has carried many Sonic Screwdrivers of various designs throughout his lifetimes, using the numerous settings on the multipurpose tool to open most locks, detect all manner of deadly rays, read bio-signs, and generate sonic waves of great power. This second Sonic Screwdriver for the Twelfth Doctor was “gifted” to him by the TARDIS after his previous version was lost.
