So, my fellow Whovians, what's wrong with this? by Iximaz on 2015-12-11 20:44:00 UTC Reply

Darkotas was at Best Buy earlier today and sent me some rather... amusing photos.

If the text is too small for you to read, it says "Includes every Doctor Who Christmas Special plus an all new bonus feature and a Twelfth Doctor sonic Screwdriver!"

...let's take a closer look at that screwdriver, shall we?

And, to be fair, he hasn't actually used the new sonic yet...
I can't tell what's wrong with it. by ratbrainbasher on 2015-12-11 23:52:00 UTC Reply

It's my eyes. They suck. Might anyone be willing to elaborate on what's wrong with the screwdriver?

It's not the version... by Huinesoron on 2015-12-12 18:02:00 UTC Reply

... that was introduced, um, a week ago.

I bet they haven't included this year's Christmas special, either, the frauds!

12th had this model throughout the entire series 8.

Yes, but... by Iximaz on 2015-12-11 21:03:00 UTC Reply

It's all about association. For example:

Show this to people and most would associate it with the Tenth Doctor, even though the Ninth had it first.

Show somebody this:

And their first thought will be Eleven. Especially after Twelve switched to sunglasses for the majority of Series 9.

and one could nitpick that 'Oh, but Nine's had more yellow outer casing; Ten's was more silver, blah-blah-blah', but then again, I don't see them adding sunglasses to the package, or spoiling Hell Bent by revealing the sonic prematurely (no idea how would they do it, though).

In the end, they could've just re-name it 'Eleventh Doctor's Sonic' and it would work just fine, cause sonics are really desired.

Also, what do you think of actual Twelfth's sonic? Personaly, I don't like it :/ I wish one of the future Doctors would bring back the Cane.

Hmm. by Iximaz on 2015-12-11 21:20:00 UTC Reply

Overall, I like it though I think the diode could have been half the size it is.

They're selling Twelve's first sonic screwdriver (also Eleven's by the way), not the new one the TARDIS gifted him by te end of the most recent season.
