This is arguably the biggest Doctor Who toy news since the Funko Pop! vinyl figures were released in February of this year.
After losing his first sonic screwdriver, and having a fun run with the sonic sunglasses, Peter Capaldi’s Twelfth Doctor was given his second screwdriver by the TARDIS in the epic episode ‘Hell Bent.’ Well, according to a press release from BBC Worldwide, fans in the United States and Canada can now get their hands on their very own replicas of the device.

While not every incarnation of the Doctor has been seen with a sonic screwdriver, we have still seen quite a few different variations over the decades, revealing an ever increasing number of capabilities. First seen in the Second Doctor story ‘Fury from the Deep,’ the number of screwdrivers varies depending on whether or not you include the ones from the books, comics, and audio adventures.
