Is it better to make buy this and make Mr.Tennant's screwdriver or buy the actual prop sold by Amazon?

I think if you're looking for accuracy and/or function to be like the real one used on the show, go for the prop. This one is a fun toy, but not extraordinarily accurate.

Buy an offical 10th Doctor Screwdriver. While I love this set, this is for making the 11th Doctor's or a custom... not the 10th's. The head is completely wrong.

Looking at the 10th Doctor sonic screwdriver - I don't believe the end is the same. You can make one that looks like the 11th Doctor's...but it is different that Tennant's - if you zoom on the end options...it does look different, thou. My son has not watched all of them, so did not need a specific Doctor....

No, it is a replica with moving/snapping trigger. It's got some weight to it. I'm not a collector. It was purchased for a pirate costume, and for that purpose, it is beautiful.

If Amazon continue selling fake products as oem I will publish it in YouTube and I will let the world know about the difference between Amazon and Ebay. That's for sure it will touch the finances of this company is not fare and we need justice.

Absolutely. It's disappointing that it doesn't come with a sonic screwdriver, but the detail is fantastic and it's a good buy.

I'd go with the Amazon answer, so many things like this 'look' the same and aren't.

I have both. The 11th is bigger and more complicated. When open, the only button that works is the bottom one. The 10th is more elegant and looks better on my shelf, as it blends in better. I don't like the requirement to have the pen adapter at the bottom because it comes off when you're handling the item. What made the decision for me was that I'm an avid David Tennant fan. In the final Matt Smith episode, the size of his sonic was actually referenced. In my opinion, the 10th is the better item. Hope this helps.

http://www.tomopop.com/psa-good-smile-company-has-a-big-guide-to-bootlegs-29743.phtml I'll be honest: I didn't even know this figure was rereleased already. That said, a quick google search brought up the above link. IIt's an article highlighting the difficult task of spotting bootleg products(example pictures and chart Iincluded). See if that helps ease your mind. If that doesn't satisfy you, look over as much of your seller's information as you can, including previous auctions and feedback to said auctions. Good luck!

I'm not completely sure who is shipping the one you're considering, but if you get it from someone respectable on Amazon (like one with Prime), it's the real deal.

Go a head and purchase it at the cheaper price. I would of done the same thing... I didn't know about petedge.Go where the price is right... No one is asking you to pay more.

as per the warehouse: "it seems as though amazon is in the process of switching this item over from the phantom version to the regular version. we only have the san diego comic con phantom version in stock. both items share a barcode. if they wish to purchase the regular version we suggest purchasing it through another seller. if they wish to buy the phantom version, that's what they will receive if they purchase it from us."

I have both and I like them both. This one is the 11th Doctor's wife's (Dr. River Song) screwdriver. It has a blue and red setting while the 11th only has green.

Have not got it yet but i'm thinking yes because my friend had the 11th doctor screwdriver, but I don't know if they bought this type.

Yes you should purchase the extras . The consumable's will (just like a shoelace) fail at the most unopurtun moment.

It's nice, the one at Toys R Us is better for about the same price. My kids have had hours of fun making them.

I bought mine with Amazon Prime a few weeks ago so it might be a temporary thing. Not sure about the price though, the red one is awesome.

Jeff. If you bought your Phantom and they came with self locking nuts, then you bought the wrong props this time. Because you purchased the incorrect props, you will neet to get the CCW and CW nuts to secure these new props.

If you buy it direct from Amazon, you can rest assured it's an original and they'll stand by the product. If you buy from some fly-by-night storefront, you'll probably get a fake.
