ESTIMATED BUILD PERIOD IS WINTER 2025
In July 2009, in a small BBC prop workshop in South Wales, prop maker Nick Robatto was assigned the task of creating his first Sonic Screwdriver from scratch. Designed by Dan Walker and supervised by production designer Ed Thomas, this screwdriver marked the new version of the iconic tool for the Eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith. Now, sixteen years later, we are excited to present another iteration of this Iconic design,
THE RUBBERTOE ELEVENTH DOCTORS SONIC SCREWDRIVER V3
When we kicked off the idea for this version of the sonic, we knew we had to create something truly special! We put many hours into extensive research and development to craft what we believe to be the ultimate 11th sonic. This incredible replica boasts smaller, lighter knurl patterns that closely match the original, a fantastic double emitter extension, a brand-new soundboard, a working red button, interchangeable emitters, and a cleverly hidden second auxiliary button—all featuring durable screw-threaded construction! Every metal part is machined and polished to a stunning finish, using top-notch materials like copper, brass, aluminum, and stainless steel, along with beautifully handmade elements from leather and polyurethane resin. Each sonic will be lovingly assembled by hand in the Rubbertoe workshops, ensuring every sonic gets the attention it deserves!
For the first time, this sonic will feature the full double extending emitter section, showcasing the two hand-cast resin cores with striking white and black streaks and swirls. We've slightly toned down the swirls from the Rubbertoe V2 to better match the cores seen in the original prop, while the resin work emphasises a more translucent quality with pronounced streaks and veins.
Additionally, for the first time on an Eleventh Sonic prop replica, there's a functional red button that works alongside the main tactile button for lights and sound, securely nestled in the end copper pommel and protected with the hinged cap secured with magnets.
This exceptional sonic is complemented by an additional red emitter and a torch mode emitter. Users can effortlessly switch between emitters by unscrewing one and attaching the other.
For those who prioritise screen accuracy, this sonic will exceed your expectations. We've sifted through Nick's old notebooks to uncover original dimensions used as references for creating additional 11th Sonics. Despite the slightly, ahem, informal nature of the notes and drawings, key measurements were still discernible and were directly applied to the 3D CAD model. These notes have been combined with extensive research and screen grabs, therefore we are confident that we've crafted a near perfect replicas of the original version of this prop.
SOUNDS AND EFFECTS
Pressing either switch activates a new soundboard provided by Plecter Labs Electronics, offering impressive interactive effects, with a hidden auxiliary switch cleverly hidden under the leather that unlocks even more features. The sound is crisp, clear, and reasonably loud.
Check out this video for a quick demo of the effects and the hidden switch location.
Some features include: - Three different background hum sounds - One clash sound - Lock/unlock sounds for spring-loaded extension - motion sensor for enhanced interactivity with the prop replica, featuring continuous pitch shifting, angle selection for alternate hum (auxiliary switch), clash sound, and extension/retraction functionality.
This sonic also incorporates a small vibrating motor, adding a subtle yet unique touch.
The sonic will come fitted with a 3mm ultra bright green LED.
The sonic is powered by a LiPo 3.7V 60mAh rechargable battery, access is under the white handle.
Each Rubbertoe Sonic is accompanied by a premium display base and presentation tin. This edition features a meticulously crafted aluminium base with a stunning inlaid green perspex ring. The underside boasts a laser-etched plaque showcasing the edition number, the iconic Doctor Who logo, and the signature of the talented maker, Nick Robatto. All components are safely cushioned in high-density foam, embellished with engraved Gallifreyan symbols, whilst the lid displays the current Doctor Who logo.
The incredible attention to detail in this design truly captures the spirit of one of the most beloved and iconic Doctor Who props! This sonic holds a special place in Rubbertoe's history, as it was Nick's very first Doctor's sonic, paving the way for the creation of Rubbertoe Replicas. We are thrilled to present it to you, and we genuinely believe it is now one of the finest sonics out there!
(And yes, you can flick it).
