Tom Baker Sonic - Character Options

[deck5]

Well, that stops making sense to me pretty quickly. What previous versions are you comparing it to?

The Russ Brown, TLP, Sixteen-12, etc, etc.

What did you think I meant?

 

[deck5]

I actually thought you were going to narrow it to 'officially licensed versions' or something. I'm curious to know why you think, given the fairly obvious alterations made, I assume, due to the materials, that this one comes closer to the mark than any previous version.

 

[The Next Doctor]

All in all they make for a handy carry along prop when you are afraid of risking your expensive and hard to replace prop replica. I guess that means I should buy them.

Yes, you of all people should. How can the "King of Classic Sonics" not have these.

The designer.

Sure, he's a top-notch guy. No doubt this comes reasonably close, within the limits set by it being a plastic toy that makes noise, modulo any errors that crept in, and considering that the original isn't available for measurement. But why would that mean the resulting product is "the most accurate classic sonic, dimension and shape wise, ever produced"?

What makes you think the original wasn't measured in the past?

 

[deck5]

Ok. So suppose the original plans are micrometer-perfect. And then come the changes, both necessary and accidental ones. The result is a compromise.

Never said it wasn't. Just less of a compromise than anything else previously produced.

In a word: money. :lol Between a few other investments (teletran custom sonic, QMX stunt phaser, new McGann style coat) and improvements on my home (new kitchen floor, counter top) and the usual bills I've been skimping on the toys of late...sorta. :cool

I'll get them eventually and thank you very much for the moniker. Me like.

 

[deck5]

Which is still an unsupported assertion on your part. Ok.

Anyway, it's fun to see such a retro item done as well as it is. I wish these things could be metal, but I know that's too much to hope for!

Get a mod in here quick, this man needs a title.

It's not unsupported, it's just unsupported to you, but that is not your fault. In the absence of the full facts you can either have faith or continue to live in ignorance. I agree with your sentiments that we are lucky to have an item such as this released. Only a few will truly appreciate how lucky given the true nature of what it is.

I wish these things could be metal, but I know that's too much to hope for!

No doubt the Russ Browns of this world are already taking calipers to it already...

 

[deck5]

Yes, unsupported by you. If your opinion is faith-based, hey, keep reaching for that rainbow. If you have some actual information to share, do that.

I'm not the one making ignorant statements based on a lack of information. The information is not mine to share. If you want to know, then ask the right people as I did but don't start playing games as it's childish.

 

[deck5]

Good lord, man. You made the assertion, I just asked you what's behind it! Tell you what, forget it. You've given a sufficient answer.

 

[LeAngeSolitaire]

I already told you what's behind it. If you're too myopic to read between the lines then don't blame me and get into a strop. In some circles, the answer I gave is, as you say, sufficient. I hope you finally get it.

 

[greatwazoo42]

Guys! Look! Boobs!

(hopefully that'll diffuse the situation, always works for me)

WHERE?? OUCH!!!!!!

Ok Wazoo, you owe me a sonic since now I have whiplash.

I am calling my lawyer now.....

 

[greatwazoo42]

Whiplash? Can I call you Snidley?
