Two weeks ago, I ordered the 11th Doctor's screwdriver, and later found out through this channel that it suffers from a major design flaw (the red button located at the bottom) and it got me worried. Now, my package just arrived two days ago, and when I opened it, I noticed that the container is much larger, and the packaging color is blue and yellow. It turned out that they sent me 12th's sonic, the touch control version and not the single button one. It's like a miracle what happened to me.
I originally bought the basic model one not knowing any better. then I looked up these reviews... I IMMEDIATELY went back to the store and returned it and got the touch control one instead, I play with it all the time thanks for the review man. you saved me the misery of owning that red button one
I have watched this review several times now as I picked one up in a charity shop and had no idea how it worked. Each time I watch your video I enjoy it more. The review by your dad was the clincher for me 😍😆😁😀 I added your link to my video description as I clearly had no idea what it did when I did my review of my charity shop find.
I guarantee that at least 10% of these sonics have lost their power core end cap by now just through little kids playing with them. Imagine the complaints from parents (and kids) if this had been a sonic kill switch. It would have been cool if it _was_ a kill switch, or at least changed the sonic noise to suggest low power, but it would be a PR disaster waiting to happen.
error571 Exactly my point, small parts get lost all the time for young children. Having it cut off the screwdriver's power would have caused some tantrums.
Even though you have two replicas of the actual prop, it would be greatly appreciated if you would do another Modification Madness in which you show us how to make this version of the toy flick up without the spring. Thank you!
I was able to remove the spring and cut it in half and it gave the top half just enough power to push it past the mechanism that locks it closed. I got lucky tho
As soon as I watched this I brought it immediately. I love it but the problem is , if you keep on pressing the spring button the wight tenticals gets loose
My 11 sonic is the original with secret sounds & red button, but has 12 instead of 11 mentioned on the packaging. It seems not all repackaged 12 sonics were the updated one.
Votesaxon07 I agree with where they put the battery compartment it ruins the look what they should have done is exactly what you suggested, put the battery pack in the base instead of the "removable power core" leaving the handle clean
I screwdriver isn't as sensitive as yours anymore. Maybe the batteries need changing or something, but I really struggle to get it to activate some times.
I got the touch controll sonic and within about 2 days it started to break. For some reason when it's in its un extended state the sound plays very quietly nearly to no sound at all.
I changed the batteries and now it stopped working. I used the Energizer A76 button batteries and put it in the right way. Darn, I lost my one good sonic.
The problem with this sonic for me is that when ever it’s in closed position it sometimes doesn’t want to turn on since the wires are being bended while in closed position. This happens sometimes for me. I ordered this on Amazon. I was expecting a Single button version but it was touch control... I mean if the design with the battery compartment was like inside instead of outside I would have bought this but I did by accident.
I have had 2. One had 2 of the claws broken off and I lost the battery door. The other just stopped working. I'm gonna stick with the single button version or the wand company version.
I have a question. So I bought this one and as I “fiddled” with it. I noticed that the sounds were very very soft. The sounds volume was very low and even if I changed the battery, it was still low. Is that normal? Or is there maybe a way to fix it...?
Hay I know this video was a long time ago but I have a question I got this awhile back and within 2 days or so the light stoped working all that would work was the sound do you know what might have happened
This is the same Sonic that my wife gave me. We use it to distract our daughter while we change her diapers. It's quite funny actually when you figure out what we named her.
touch is my favorite. i dont have to worry about twisting the top. i have 11 and i got it 3 years ago and now the top half pops out of the screwdriver. i like your idea about removing the spring. oh and sometimes my TC one does not work in close mode. do you have any idea on how to fix it? thanks
I got mine from Amazon yesterday and I noticed how quiet the sounds are compared to the original. Is it supposed to be that way was it a running change or did I just get an odd one? lol
You would think the point of having a touch control version would be so it’s a clean finish without buttons and such, but then they go an ruin that with the battery compartment and legal fheydgebrhfh. Shame.
barns and nobels amazon ebay i got mine at hasting for $35 same with my brothers single button also $35 but hastings closed. also hot topic toy r us and the mall

I just did the exact same..waiting to return it so I can buy this version
Hitachi Okami i tried to avoid something like that so I watched the reviews first.
Psycho Gunzerker me too! I’m getting mine in a couple of days!
I have NO idea what your dad said, but it made me laugh out loud. Great video - thanks for the service! Greetings from Denmark ;-)
He said what the hell are this like? At your age? You know I got a problem with you? Huh? What is it?
I've been waiting for these since they got deleted. Thank you :)

it is hard to lose the power core
no its not actually mine stays in very tight and does not have any signs of falling off soon but i am a teen and take care of my screwdrivers
error571 Exactly my point, small parts get lost all the time for young children. Having it cut off the screwdriver's power would have caused some tantrums.
true thats why character did that not to be a kill switch and get complaints
error571 Did we just go round in a circle?
Even though you have two replicas of the actual prop, it would be greatly appreciated if you would do another Modification Madness in which you show us how to make this version of the toy flick up without the spring. Thank you!
Simple solution. Push the button as you flick it. Same effect with no risk of breaking it.
I was able to remove the spring and cut it in half and it gave the top half just enough power to push it past the mechanism that locks it closed. I got lucky tho
I have this one. Best. Sonic Screwdriver. Ever.
PrinceJace777 so should i buy this, the 12th doctor sonic screwdriver or the 10th doctors?
This one for sure . im going to buy it too
Catarina Teixeira ok! Already bought it, and now comes the dreadful Waits until Amazon delivers IT to Sweden😂😂😂
YIINX 12th for sure
i have the 10th and the 12th and the 12th is better
I'm so glad you're reuploading videos
This is my definitive 11th/12th sonic!
I’ve had this for three years and never knew that you had to have your finger on the back as well
Recently dug this one out the old garage for a 11th costume
I have this sonic screwdriver but the claws are extremely wobbly (it was like that when I got it)
LoadingJoker342
Same the claws are wobbly, and when I say wobbly I mean wobbly
Don't you mean Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey?
@@FraserDrums mine too
you are lucky, mine used to make sounds, but now it doesn't
the eleventh sonic is compensating for something regeneration it's a lottery
As soon as I watched this I brought it immediately. I love it but the problem is , if you keep on pressing the spring button the wight tenticals gets loose
Apparently they upgraded it a bit, because mine has darker brown/orange paint, making it more accurate.
how do I remove the spring though?
the sensor broke on mine within 2 and a half weeks and by then i had chucked the box away and lost the reciept
If you were to remove the spring, would it still work and allow me to flick it open, instead of spring loaded action?
Thank you i just found it outside my old toys and completely forgot how it worked
My 11 sonic is the original with secret sounds & red button, but has 12 instead of 11 mentioned on the packaging. It seems not all repackaged 12 sonics were the updated one.
Avoid the basic release like the plague.
I superglued the power core on cos once it came off but then found it the next day.
How can I make the claws tighter they are really wide when in closed position
Stoopid Studios Bit of card on the underside of the claws, it will push them tighter to the emitter.
Votesaxon07 I agree with where they put the battery compartment it ruins the look what they should have done is exactly what you suggested, put the battery pack in the base instead of the "removable power core" leaving the handle clean
Votesaxon07 could you post a video of how to do that please?
Can you make a vid on that?
I have this sonic but the touch control button is a little faulty
omagad i just bought it and i just read your comment...
I bought it twice this is my second time Currently waiting it’s brilliant
I totally forgot the funniness of your dad reacting to the sonics. Man...
for the type with the red button open it as if to change the batteries, and just remove the spring
I screwdriver isn't as sensitive as yours anymore. Maybe the batteries need changing or something, but I really struggle to get it to activate some times.
Shmoitfungle 😂 I'm dying
Well mine is the same except the Sonic screwdriver only works with the battery compartment cover off.
what batteries does it use
Getting this for Xmas thanks for the review
Why the big battery compartment
Ah... The Touch Control. Awesome!
I just found out about your channel! It's great! I subsribed :). Hope that u will be a very successful RUclipsr!
Also, can u post the link from where you bought this from? Thanks!
mines sound chip broke after I went out of toys r us when I got it. R.I.P toys r us
I had the touch control randomly it stopped working when I tried to touch it it wouldn’t work sometimes it would turn on in spirts but I don’t know
What are the battery requirements for this? Mine doesn't have any batteries
I would go for the single button screwdriver
Anyone know how to change the batteries in the touch sonic?
mine stopped working properly after about an hour is that just the battery's or..
my old 11 sonic screwdriver batteries dure for 2 years..
I have the same.thing and mine don't work
I love how he says power core
I got the touch controll sonic and within about 2 days it started to break. For some reason when it's in its un extended state the sound plays very quietly nearly to no sound at all.
SO WHAT ABOUT THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT? ITS ON THE BACK SO IT CANT BE NOTICED MOST OF THE TIME
It’s really awesome but I still have the 11th Doctor Sonic screwdriver though with the new touch control
I changed the batteries and now it stopped working. I used the Energizer A76 button batteries and put it in the right way. Darn, I lost my one good sonic.

Andre Ruelo nope same even my sonic has low sounds
i bought the touch control one then it stopped making sound then i bought another one and it came already not making any sound
where can you buy a sonicscrewdriver in the philipines
Cloud Strike now thats the question i need to know
k10mndo on Amazon Website
Filbar's. Just bought one today. ^_^
Hay I know this video was a long time ago but I have a question I got this awhile back and within 2 days or so the light stoped working all that would work was the sound do you know what might have happened
You know, I really don't care about it missing the actual activation button. However, the battery compartment kills it for me.
This is the same Sonic that my wife gave me. We use it to distract our daughter while we change her diapers. It's quite funny actually when you figure out what we named her.
Melody?
11th is my favorite
Was I the only person who realised that the touch control and original release were displayed the same way?
For mine, the light doesn’t work now
mine doesnt make any sound can u help me doctor
Is there anywhere online you can still buy this? I can only find the red button ones.
How do you change the batteries on this? They're pretty stuck for me...
I think the wires are broken on mine as it makes sound closed but when extended it's just a light with no sounds.
Mines doing this as well did u fix it?
@@ejyxx5534 no unfortunately I have not.
@@tiffanylangridge439 okie dokie then thanks for the reply
Just got mine, opened and closed fine, then it didnt want to close at all, I had to put a lot of weight on it to get it to lock closed
How do you get it to work again? I tried the batteries and all. It wont work
When mine came it was loose. Is that normal? Also when i pressed it 3 times the noise was quieter than the other noises. Please let me know
Can you review the second doctor's sonic screwdriver
touch is my favorite. i dont have to worry about twisting the top. i have 11 and i got it 3 years ago and now the top half pops out of the screwdriver. i like your idea about removing the spring. oh and sometimes my TC one does not work in close mode. do you have any idea on how to fix it? thanks
Character why did you make a battery compartment Viable
This is the version I have, I love it 🥰
i love the toy however The sound chip on mine is not working properly. Can it be repaired or replaced?
Josh Explores I don't think so, you probably need to buy a new one.
where do i buy it at
Which version of the 11th/12th Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver toy is your favourite and which is the most accurate in your opinion?
I mean overall - favourite for practicality and accurate-ness.
11th cuz of the red button in the bottom
+diddymies you are joking right?
+Bentley Walker touch control
Where can you order that?
mine starts ticking for some reason. help
A modification madness for making this flickable??
How tightly does the power core stay at the bottom? Is there is a risk of it getting loose and falling out over time?
Nope, you can pull it off but it doesn't come off on its own.
I much prefer the single button. The battery compartment just kills it for me.
I got mine from Amazon yesterday and I noticed how quiet the sounds are compared to the original. Is it supposed to be that way was it a running change or did I just get an odd one? lol
Something happened to mine and I can't push it back down to it's original state, anybody got anything I can do
I liktded it but the sound stoptded so I got a new one and the same thing happend
Mine was made differently, the copper color was darker on mine.
JP Studios same
It looked closer to real copper
It does
mine too
I love the touch control gimmick but i hate battery compartment
yeah and i hate the legal eu9fbiebygfyuebvfyuwgbfuwbgfyilveuvgfuylvruksfv23f7itr78pf
You would think the point of having a touch control version would be so it’s a clean finish without buttons and such, but then they go an ruin that with the battery compartment and legal fheydgebrhfh. Shame.
The touch sensor on mine broke :(
Which would you recommend? Single button or touch control? I recently just broke my 11th one.
Touch Control one, it's better, but the only downside is the top extending part might not close after a while, mine doesn't right now.
can i get link?
The truck control is the best
I have my own sonic screwdriver it's the 10th sonic screwdriver it's not bad
Unless he's a doctor who fan, never ask your dad
If anyone is considering buying it... BUY IT. It’s my personal favourite and it’s such a good replica very happy with this
Does anybody know where you can buy it
barns and nobels amazon ebay i got mine at hasting for $35 same with my brothers single button also $35 but hastings closed. also hot topic toy r us and the mall
error571 you know this is available on Amazon for 14.99£
No shit Sherlock
where you bought it ?
Gamer / Doctor who Amazon
I was impressed of it. Touch control is awesome. But the battery compartment destroys it somehow lol.
Awesome!!!
Dose anyone one know how to remove the spring?
Sadly it involves damaging it as you have to rip the bottom section in half to remove it
your dad was so funny
think the best sonic screwdriver is the touch control
I can always flick it open
I got the Sonic screwdriver touch control version and I thought is pretty good
