Playing Doctor isn't what you think...

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 ).
