Doctor Who - Master Laser Screwdriver

I admit it: I kind of like the new master better than any of the older ones. Why he dumped his trademark Tissue Compression Eliminator is a matter for speculation, but the Laser Screwdriver is a worthy successor...one that's now available to mere earthlings everywhere as a spiffy toy.

This is certainly one of the better television replica toys I've seen. It's made of plastic, but the resemblance to the TV prop is more than adequate. It's the same size, has great detail, and even duplicates the pop-out barrel, which you can trigger with a button on the side.

The toy can make two noises-tap the button, and you get the laser noise. Hold it down, and you get the "lazarus technology" noise. The first noise is fairly loud, but the second can be hard to hear. The end has orange lights that turn on in time with the noise.

My son is a Dr Who fan, and when we saw this online he just had to have it. Now it's the Master's sonic screwdriver, so it's a bit more interesting than the one the Dr uses.

Makes a fun toy for any Dr Who fan, no matter what age.
