Why yes, that is a sonic screwdriver in my pocket
So what if it’s plastic and doesn’t actually unlock things (which would be ever so slightly illegal)? It still makes authentic noises, extends, and lights up. Plus it pulls double duty as a regular pen and a UV pen!
Yes, I‘m talking about the sonic screwdriver toy. It may be a simple toy, but it makes me happy. 
The sonic screwdriver is a brilliant little device from Doctor Who, so even a plastic replica is cool. However, this toy is slightly special because it isn’t based off the prop—the prop is based off the toy. The producers were so impressed by the durability of the toy that they acquired the moulds and used it to make a newer, slightly larger sonic screwdriver. So that’s neat.
I ordered it online from Pixel Barrel, a Canadian company. Originally I saw the toy on Amazon UK, but they wouldn’t ship to Canada. So it was a double stroke of luck, since the overall cost was cheaper, and the shipment only took 3 days to arrive. I also got a hardcover edition of Serenity: Those Left Behind. There’s all sorts of tasty collectibles there from science fiction/fantasy series. However, I’ve never been much of a collector person. I like the occasional neat gadget or literature, but poseable action figures? Trading cards? No thanks. That’s just more stuff to clutter up my room.
