I have to admit, I don’t envision this thing flying off the shelves.

The detailing is pretty cool, though - it’s a shame that hasn’t really come through on-screen yet.

My kids are dying for this thing. If anyone is at SDCC and feels the desire to make some little girls happy, I will Venmo you to buy this and ship it to me so I can stop hearing about it 😂

As much as I love the new series, I haven’t liked the new screwdriver, but I think I’ve realized it’s just the colors I don’t like. I do actually enjoy seeing it look and feel more like a tricorder, and having the little display that slides out does make it feel more like something the Doctor can actually interpret. For some reason, while I’m totally on board for tentacle aliens and killer candy robots and giant space eyeballs and moon eggs, the scenes where the Doctor uses the old style screwdriver and stares at the handle like he’s reading it always felt a little silly to me.
