@@boredbum2009 I would absolutely make a video specifically on this issue just to help you with your issue if I could. Unfortunately, I have sold off my CT so no longer have it to shoot.

@@robopam It was also my ringtone for YEARS… now, I don’t actually know what my ringtone is, because I haven’t had my ringer on in many years. If my phone rang out loud, I’d freak out and not know what was happening.

Amazing! Thanks for watching and for the sub!

@@jamesmatthews6477 thanks, I appreciate it!

I have actually had this since before they started selling through Rubbertoe, I just wasn't really active on this channel... so now I'm going back and reviewing stuff I should have done long ago. And, yeah, I did mean Capaldi, I just mis-remembered when that change happened. I was literally thinking it was during Smith, probably because there were so many other changes at that time. The old review was a written one of a Psychic Paper from DarthMule on the RPF... and it's still quite a lovely piece and great for what we knew at the time, but this one frankly blows it out of the water, in essentially every conceivable metric. Thanks for watching, I have more Doctor Who stuff coming up soon, but I'm trying to avoid making it a Doctor Who channel, so I'm trying to spread them out a bit. The last thing I want is anyone making a VoteSaxon comparison 0_0

Thanks for watching! If there are any questions you’d like addressed in a future video, please let me know.

@@richardsmith3079 What’s sad? Care to elaborate?

@@PropsmithReplicas getting excited about a wallet 🤣

@@richardsmith3079I’m sure you get nerdy about things that I don’t see the appeal of. We all find bits of joy in different places, and it’s totally okay that you don’t dig what I dig. Anyway, thanks for watching! Hope you have a great weekend.

@@PropsmithReplicas True fair play and you 🙏

I suppose that's on me for not mentioning: The actual Driving License holder is IMPOSSIBLE to find. If you could get your hands on one... yeah, it'd be a real easy conversion. But I've been trying to find one for over 10 years to no avail. In fact, I literally can't even find a PHOTO of one on the internet. Literally the only photos I can find are the ones in the video... and those were taken by James at Little Shop Props of the one they were able to source. So, given their rarity, if you DID find one, it would likely cost FAR more than this replica. Could you grab some relatively close wallet and make a rough approximation of the prop? Absolutely. But if you want a PERFECT replica, this is the option you've got. There is no other. But I always encourage people to make their own props! Take a swing at it, I'd love to see what you come up with! And thanks for watching!

I aims to inform!

Yeah, Nick’s doing top-notch work and he’s a good bloke on top of it!

Thanks, glad you liked it!

Thanks, dude! I’m super proud of it!

Awwwww yeah!

Oh yeah! I’ll be posting every week without fail… I’ve got a lot going on that I’m really excited about. Hope you’ll be along for the ride!

@@PropsmithReplicas sweet, keep up the good work man

I've got quite an extensive list of things I plan on getting to... top of the list is the Colt from Supernatural (full steel!), also want to do the TVA TemPed from Loki, The VFD Spyglass from A Series of Unfortunate Events, and a couple fun items from WareHouse 13, and honestly just an endless list. Not sure what order I'll get to things, but I'll have full build videos for each (more detailed than this one)! And thanks for the kind words!

SO glad you're enjoying it! It was really a years-long labor of love.

Yoko owns it. I imagine it’ll eventually pass on to Sean.

Thanks!

I think CT still wins the price battle, as in the original video and I really just wanted to focus on what the major shortcomings were of the original Rubbertoe to see how the new one stacks up.

What is his email? Thinking of buying a ct aswell, glad yours was made well and sturdy

I have no recollection of that. Can you point me to the comment you refer to?

I felt like that was pretty clearly a tongue-in-cheek joke and not meant seriously. I am aware that it’s a toy and said so in the video, but noted that I was reviewing it in terms of being an option to use as a prop replica. Honestly, I didn’t want to have to do that, but I knew people would come at me if I didn’t include it. I treated it with the same level of criticism that I would give any prop replica, not allowing for its intended use as a toy. And, given the fact that you can’t find one of these under $100 anymore, I think that was the right move. Clearly, it’s being bought by more than just children. But thanks for watching to the end! I’ll have a lot more content coming soon, so be on the lookout!

It’s available on Etsy: www.etsy.com/listing/756193492/

Rubbertoe JUST put another batch on sale a couple months back, but to my knowledge all units have been purchased and he said on his Instagram that this will be the final run, of the model he’s replicating at least. I actually happened to be one of the people who managed to purchase the replica in time. So unfortunately, you might be out of luck when it comes to Rubbertoe. There are some 11th Doctor Universal Remotes being sold online which are said to be surprisingly SUPER good replicas even if it wasn’t intended to be one, though be weary that they’re fairly expensive, and sadly don’t flick open. If you’re left with absolutely NO choice, and wouldn’t dare resorting to the ugly Character Options toy unless you’re on a strict budget, Celestial Toystore sonic screwdrivers still make the cut even if they aren’t as illustrious as they once were. I purchased and received one earlier this year, and while it definitely had some issues I was still happy with it. It was still fun to “sonic” things and flick it open. But with that said, PLEASE handle it with care. Mine recently broke during transit on an airplane ride since I didn’t secure it properly enough I guess, and further more when I tried inspecting the issue. So be sure to handle it with ample care. Unless Rubbertoe decides to do another run of his screwdrivers, CT is likely the only option if you want something legit. You might have to sacrifice a marginal amount of quality but keep your expectations tempered and you should be content with the final product.

That’s tragic. I’m so sorry you’ve had to deal with that. The issue with his being based in China to avoid copyright claims also means he’s pretty untouchable from this perspective. The only advice I can offer is, if you paid with a credit card, try to do a chargeback. Unfortunately, if you paid with debit, that’s probably not possible. And, in the future, don’t listen to people who tell you to ship things with a low declared value. What they’re doing is asking you to risk the loss of your item so that they can avoid paying much of an import fee. And I can tell you for certain: CT is fucking LOADED. He can afford the import duty in order to fix his own faulty product.

@@PropsmithReplicas it was a long time ago

@@KYPT0KNIGHT Shame.

Could you tell me how good it's quality is?

You got it yet?

@@nextofkin2321 hi, I got it back in the middle/beginning of February. So far it’s good. It looks amazing when polished, and the flick on the sonic I got is pretty good. Sometimes it gets a little tight and finicky but I think the Cape Cod polish I use lubricates it to flick better. The only complaint I have is that the red emitter that came with it isn’t fully sanded down on the bottom, so it screws on a little wonky but it still works I suppose.

Hey! Sorry I somehow missed the notification for this comment when it posted, or I’d have responded sooner. Before doing this review, I spoke to Nick and he told me that this version was based on the original four filming props, so that’s the metric I used for this breakdown. But taking the later revisions into account actually makes this even more confusing… because apparently this has a hinged pommel, as used by 11, but with the dimensions of the hinge-less pommel of the 12? I think the scores would remain unchanged, honestly. But thanks so much for the extra context and please don’t hesitate to let me know if I make any factual errors in the future!

I don't know what to tell you, bud. I included the CO because not doing so would have resulted in a hundred people asking why I didn't include it. The point was to review all the replicas of this prop that were available at the time, and I did so in the most consistent and objective way I could, leaving aside my personal thoughts. I don't think the ratings would have come out any differently in terms of ranking if I had done some of the things you suggested... like, the CO's extra sounds weren't going to put it up over the Rubbertoe in a million years. And making a review for different audiences ins't what I do. It's not a Doctor Who channel, it's a prop channel. That said, I have full, individual reviews of each of these four that judge them on their own merits, rather than against one-another. I think the video is fair, and I think I communicated pretty well at the top what to expect. Sorry to have not met your expectations.

No, I couldn’t get my hands on an MFX and now there are SO MANY varieties of the 9/10 available that the video would be 2 hours long and probably obsolete the moment it came out.

The only parts you’d be able to swap between the two would really be the black leather section and the white handle. The pommel, in particular, is made completely differently on the two. The CT is male, with the body of the sonic as the female, and it’s opposite on the Rubbertoe. For me, I’d be happiest with the Rubbertoe for most of the sonic, replacing only the pommel with the CT.

So?

​@@smithel3538 you haven't seen 13th sonic screwdriver didn't you?

Agreed. I'm not gonna spend hundreds of pounds on 1 to 1 replicas like this guy! A co sonic screwdriver is good enough for me.

Context matters. What you're quoting is given in the context of having watched this video and making a purchase based of it. He was saying that if you sat through this video to see which screwdriver to buy, and chose the CO, then you don't care about quality or accuracy. He's not saying that anyone who bought a CO doesn't care about quality or accuracy.

@@LiveHedgehogEXACTLY, I bought the CO and because I care about accuracy I bought aluminum tape and tape that looks like copper along with a bunch of other stuff to make it look like the prop which cost me about £10.00 altogether so people who can’t afford the replicas and don’t mind modifying the toys could do that

The one in the video is the one marketed as the 12th Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver, which does flick open. Regardless of how it was marketed, this sonic design I consider to be the 11th.

how

@@frostwing1899you need to really give it a yank but it does work, but also be very careful whilst doing it and only do it if you really really want to

Yeah, that's a thing that happened in the story, but not to the actual prop. If you watch the scene, it's all pantomime. You never see the core because no core was ever created for the prop. In a replica comparison, I have to take off points. It's worth noting that if I were reviewing it as a toy, that and the touch control would have both earned it extra points! But toy reviews aren't what I do.

@@PropsmithReplicas I don't even have the CO one myself. I actually have the Wand Company Sonic. But I really want a CT Sonic. But I never got the chance.
