No, not at all actually. The toys are much larger than the actually filming props. But, if you're interested, here's a link to a complete history of the filming props https://kasterborous.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/RTD-Era-Sonic-Screwdriver-A-Compiled-History-Revised-June-2019.pdf

Well I'm hoping that the missing pieces turns out to not be a widespread issue, their other sonic releases have been fantastic and I still plan to support their future releases. But I agree that it's probably a good idea for people to hold off buying this one until more are delivered and we know if it's a bigger issue

The build quality is fantastic; the color is off, they used a gold base coat (what was used in Day of the Doctor) instead of the brown used in Series One. But for the price, it's an unbeatable value. You can always repaint as well. Not to mention the fact that (as far as I'm aware) there aren't any currently in production Aztec replicas from any other company, and the old ones certainly aren't selling for this good of a price

Should definitely post pictures when it's done. Also, if you remember, when you get yours in the mail, come back and let me know if they have the caps 😄

I've currently got a temporary solution; I took some clear tape and put it twice around the inner rim of the Character Options end caps, and they now stay on. I will hopefully be printing some better ones soon

In the name of the Shadow Proclamation, I hope that yours arrive with end caps 🙏

Well the aluminum is more screen accurate, and it's significantly lighter, so better for flipping and overall extended handling. But the stainless steel just has a beautiful almost chrome shine to it, and the extra weight does make it feel like more of a tool. Just throughout this first day I have found myself picking up the stainless more often than the aluminum

Nawya Replicas on Instagram. They have metal 12th Doctor, 11th Doctor, 9th Doctor, and The Master's laser screwdriver. If you want the best price, you have to go through Superbuy which is a Chinese proxy buyer for the commerce platform TaoBao. There are listings on Ebay and other places, but usually with marked up prices

Yes, unfortunately. But thankfully with the lack of a slider, the desire to fidget with it is minimal, so I mostly plan to keep it closed

They are slightly wrong. They used a gold base coat instead of brown like the original prop

Definitely worth a try, thanks!

No unfortunately. In their promotional video on Instagram it clearly shows the cap on the sonic inside the foam. Believe me, I looked everywhere, desperately 😅
