Fantastic but missing something

This is exactly the same model released a few years back based on the future/River's sonic screwdriver.
I had never really liked the 10th Screwdriver design so this (almost) steampunk esque looks really makes it something special.
It's got a nice build as it actually feels sturdy yet also light (plastic, go figure!) and there are a number of nice little deco choices, such as a scuffed brass look or weathering. It fits nicely in your hand but for those who have big hands you will be forced to put your pinky through the hole in order to hold it comfortably, though the button is positioned nicely so your hand feels like it is in the right place.
The one negative I can point out is that the red setting and the neural realy lighting effect have been removed. This is a bit of a bummer as that's part of the wonderful feature the original release had and for me it bumps the rating to a 3 instead of a 4, perhaps you will find that hard to accept but that's life.
Get it because: you missed the original release and don't mind it not having a simple red light.
