In my capacity Chief Reporter on all things Doctor Who, I would be remiss if I didn’t point out that Gearlog has assembled a wealth of information on the Doctor Who-related toys coming out of this week’s International Toy Fair in New York City.
Some of these are old favorites, like the Voice-Changing Cyberman Mask and the remote control Daleks, but there’s also a line of action figures from Underground Toys based on the current incarnation of the Doctor, and—joy of joys!—a sonic screwdriver. Which is, I think you’ll agree, the be-all end-all of gadgetry.
I’ve actually seen a number of these in a local chain of stores that carries a lot of toys for sci-fi and cult TV and movies (so if you’re in the Metro Boston area and want some Dr. Who swag, I’ll point you towards Newbury Comics).

Talk about the ultimate in convergence!
The pen capabilities are really cool, but it would be even better if it had an actual screwdriver in it! (Or could actually open locks with sound waves...)
