Product Description
This is the ultimate Doctor Who collectable, a replica of the Doctors Fob Watch. A fully working watch with a chain, the fob has detailed engraving on the case and Roman numerals on the face. Also features speech, light and sound effects. br brWhen the Doctor had to turn himself human to avoid the Family of Blood, he placed his Time Lord consciousness and true physiology inside a small ornate fob watch. He kept it nearby at all times while he lived the life of schoolteacher John Smith. Although he had no memory of ever being the Doctor and thought of himself as truly human, when the watch was opened, all the real Doctor flooded back into him, turning him once more into the Time Lord he actually was. br brThe Doctor's oldest and bitterest enemy, the Master, another Time Lord also had a fob watch. After escaping the devastation of the Great Time War, he too created a human persona for himself, the kindly Professor Yana. When he opened his fob watch, the Master was back, ready to take on the Doctor and threaten the very existence of the Universe. br br

I bought a Time Lord watch :) br /... Still not a Time Lord. Even when I put the batteries in. :( br / br /... okay, so, yes, a toy. For ages 5 and up. I'm, er, up. br / br /It is plastic. Except for the chain. The chain makes the plastic look cheap. But does function to keep the watch where it is put, so that part works out. The case has patterns just like on the show, and seems fairly accurate. Same with the watch face. So that's nice. But the light effect is pathetic - I've got a better light on my keychain, and it doesn't light the center of the watch at all. And the sound effect happens whenever you make the light, so it isn't much use if you, for instance, want to know the time in the cinema. Plus it sounds like the Doctor only if the Doctor is talking through a comb after inhaling helium. Actually come to think his voice doesn't change when inhaling helium, so it's just out of character. Er, I mean, it sounds mostly like hsssh shhh crsshh and you can only tell what he's saying because we have it memorised from TV. Bit disappointing really. br / br /On the plus side - Time Lord watch! Wheeee! br /It, er, gets all its stars from that bit.
