I received my new 14th Doctor Sonic Screwdriver.. It's pretty great overall especially aesthetically. There's a few interesting things about it.
It has elements of each previous sonic:
extending like the 11th and 10th but with a shorter travel and no spring loading is manual like the 9th/10th
The top has the lightbulb type like the war doctor, and then the part after that is like the 12th, middle like the 9th/10th and bottom like the 11th
Actually, the front part is a bit like a Dalek gun in design..
the finished for the middle is painted on rather than molded as it is with the 9th/10th sonics.
the bottom is nicely gnurled and it feel the best in the hand out of all the modern sonics IMHO
the button to activate the sonic is clicky but doesn't do anything..
the gnurled bit can be turned and has satisfying clicks.. there's a screw at the end so it might remove for batteries which would add a bit of weight depending on what type it takes..
I like how at this point I have enough experience with Sonic Screwdriver toys to do this mini review.. 😅💜
I misplaced my 9th/10th sonic though so I need to find that particular when my sonic rack arrives... but if t doesn't just these four would make a good collection for display.
I'd like to do some more gunpla/model painting techniques to all of them.. I did some weathering to all the others so far
