[@drxshock6957]

"he never got back to me." That points to the conclusion that your friend did NOT tamper with it. The guy that built it was probably lying to save his ego and reputation. For shame It's An Ashton.

[@AtrocityEquine01]

@ASSASSIN A it's amusing that people complain about CT for his volatile attitude...but at least he actually _does_ good replicas of DW stuff

[@amirpourghoureiyan1637]

It looks like a giant sized version of one for the 5" figures

[@dylanringproductions160]

The one time where the toy seems better then the prop replica

[@ASLB247]

Dylan Ring Productions I think calling it a prop replica would be an insult to prop replicas, especially the rubbertoe replica of the same sonic.

wait... someone is able to buy this in a store?? this looks like a senior school project

[@UniverseIndistries]

Nope. When Ashton figured out that Stephen got his hand on one he stopped production. Good luck getting one now.

[@InkblotHyena]

I unfortunately got one second-hand from a cousin. Poor quality... is an understatement. The one in your video was a better condition than the one I currently have! The silver arms on the handle keep falling off and have permanently bent, and all my cousin did was display it on it's side! Just... I have it in a box in my attic, and I'm just going to wait for the toy to arrive. I ordered it off Amazon. Don't waste your money on an 'Ashton' when the toy is cheaper, and MUCH better!

[@DanPawlak]

"It's an Ashton" hmm?? More like "Shit's an Ashton."

[@Daicidus]

I really want a universal remote one

[@xavageanimations2241]

Hey saxon just saying, this is better quality than mine came in. Mine was almost only blue and gold, and when I demanded a refund (batteries came dead and the emitter was loose and fell off) the creator never got back or even took notice

[@jackmarshall1026]

I think character options did so well with the normal toy. That any other prop maker is going to have a hard time making a better one.

[@r3d80vids5]

looks like the 3d printabler version from thingiverse. Sad to think someon is trying to sell these as professional props. The only thing its good for is a stunt prop for a shortfilm or something to toss around while cosplaying if your too poor to afford the toy. Edit: for reference, it costs around $15 of filament at most to print one of these

[@Endyrym]

Who would have tampered with it?

Exactly. Who would spend that much money on a toy just to break it?

u know what cuz the batteries are dead you could batter it up to make it look damaged cuz the sound it makes sounds like the sonic in episode "Christmas carol"

[@calebstrege7218]

[@justinmitchell2577]

It looks like the Character toy, if it were made 20 years ago, and had been aged 30 years

[@madgeordierob7890]

Yeah, so, for those who are unaware of the truth behind this particular prop replica: This was made by It's an Ashton as part of a small run he did for cosplayers who wanted the new Sonic - Ashton was quick off the mark in producing these, it was not long after the actual prop had been seen on-screen for the first time and neither Rubbertoe Replicas version nor the Character Options toy had been announced at that point. This particular Sonic was purchased by John Paul Gervais ('Doctor Disco') and was subsequently tampered with by him to make it look shoddy. This was done deliberately to smear Ashton's work, as Gervais is in cahoots with 'The Celestial Toystore', a much despised, arrogant little man with an inferiority complex who produces unlicenced replica props. Celestial was banned from the RPF for his behaviour, business practices and general bad attitude but he has a small following who suck up to him and do his bidding, lest they get on his bad side. Gervais is one of Celestial's 'main guys' despite the fact that he can't help giving plans away all the time. Ashton found out about the plan to do a bad review of this Sonic and outed it on Facebook - this review turned up much, much later. Celestial was jealous that Ashton was doing the Twelve Sonics and that Rubbertoe Replicas (who actually designed and built the prop for the show) didn't mind him doing it. Celestial has been flaunting BBC copyrights for years, with his 'don't give a shit, they can't touch me' attitude but although Rubbertoe have built props for the show from the BBC's designs and licenced replicas of same, this is the first Sonic that Rubbertoe *actually designed* and therefore Celestial doesn't dare rip it off. Ashton only ever intended his Sonic's as a quick, low-cost cosplay accessory and this is why Rubbertoe allowed him to do it. The reason why Ashton did not get back to Stephen is simple and not at all suspicious - he'd stopped making them by that point, simply because the CO toy was then available. Ashton moved onto other things - his work can be seen on the 'It's an Ashton' Facebook page and it speaks for itself. Rubbertoe are professional, courteous, actually build props for the show, and their replicas are officially licenced...but here on VoteSaxon's YT they will always be 'beaten' in reviews by Celestial Toystore's 'Parts made on the cheap in China, assembled by me and sold for a fortune' Sonics because Stephen, like so many people, is scared of making an online enemy of Celestial Toystore. CT's aren't better - it's just he'll cause so much shit for anyone who dares say otherwise. inb4 this comment is deleted.

[@muisverriet]

Rob C I don't believe a single word of that.

[@paulpemberton6852]

he made a freaking paragraph, how could you not believe him?

[@AtrocityEquine01]

Rob C I knew C.T. was known to be a prat but...wow.

[@madgeordierob7890]

AtrocityEquine Yeah, he's been quiet of late though. I think his sales have dropped off (he's had discount offers going regularly over the past year) and he's keeping a low profile. The account I gave of this Sonic's history is the truth - to be fair, Stephen even admits in the video that he got the Sonic second-hand, that instantly casts doubt on any claims of 'This is how they look fresh from Ashton'. As I said, the hatchet-job review of Ashton's Sonic was planned long before this video was posted; the only reason Gervais (the original owner) didn't do it himself when planned is because Ashton caught wind of it and posted about it on Facebook. Gervais is fucking clown shoes; he's one of CT's most brown-nosed followers but keeps fucking things up for him. CT was trying to get my home address a while back and Gervais managed to set my 'spider sense' off as it were , I knew something was up so I gave a decoy address :D CT is a very angry and insecure little man, hiding behind fake profiles and a small bunch of sycophantic followers...his temper though is why his Sonics always 'win' in review videos. Rubbertoe doesn't rant about how good his props are, rubbish others and throw a shitfit if a customer has an issue - he just makes the best damn props he can and the work speaks for itself. CT will *always* be in Rubbertoe's shadow and he knows it.

[@AtrocityEquine01]

Rob C Just wow.. TBH I felt CT was an arse hole when people complained about his ego on some of Stephan's videos before the Copyright lords ruined everything and C.T. would respond to those criticisms with such immaturity. Also all of this for REPLICAS, Holy fuck.

[@ThunderbirdX]

To be honest it's a nice idea on paper, with the electronics. if it had worked i reckon it wouldve been much nicer. plus a cheaper price. 5:02 best bit

[@GrutchRecords]

why can't we just call Matt's the 11th one and Peter's the 12th one so it's less confusion

[@h0lly_blue]

if that hasnt been tampered with. that is completely unacceptable

[@TheDeckerHaint]

i like your friend's review the best. he just gets right to it does it? lmao amazing.

[@MoparGuyaq]

that's tampered, the paint looks like it was scratched or scrapped off, the button should've been secured in place and the core of it being secured to where you can't get to batteries is a big clue that it was tampered with cause you should be able to get to batteries on anything to change them out

[@UniverseIndistries]

It's lock and stock my friend. I saw it when it first arrived in the post.

[@YTY203]

This isn't horrible but there is independent prop replicas that do a much better job.

[@tommyselby]

This is the second review I've seen of one of these and that one was shit too. And to think I even contacted him about getting one!

[@UniverseIndistries]

Lucky man.

[@MeBeMat]

There seems to be a lot of people online agreeing on the poor quality of these replicas in general. At the same time though, posts from customers on Ashton's facebook page show replica 12th sonics that have a much better paint job. So I dunno. Hopefully Ashton will chime in with his side, show off photos of untampered models or maybe just hold up his hands and say, "Yeah I dropped the ball on this one. Sorry. Better version coming soon".

[@TheBags]

Actually, I believe he posted this exact sonic on his page before he sent it out. You can see the exact same terrible paint apps.

[@UniverseIndistries]

Do you have proof this is tampered with? As I looked at the other sonics and they show the same features. There isn't one thing tampered on this sonic. If you have photographic proof I'd(as well as the rest of the community) would love to see it. But oddly enough, no one else will post up close shots of theirs. Funny huh? Also to add on that note, it's extremely ODD that he stopped making these as soon as Stephen got his hands on one. He did say he was going to send one but never did. The things that make you go "HMMM".

[@MeBeMat]

Doctor Disco Ahh I must have missed that post, cheers.

[@sexycheeseburgernameisfort8320]

***** yeah like sure measurements aren't perfect Usually scanning down and well cutting metal, usually you see that metal always has thinner and sharper designs but in general, this's just a great toy I assume mainly because theirs nothing to screw up like Elevens spring If you actually look at the designs of the eleven and ten They're so so, they're not complicated designing at all, they're so simple Character just just cheap alternatives I of course my sources being from both remotes

If it was a tenth of the price it would have been okay back before the character options version as a cosplay accessory. As there is no official dark eyes sonic I can imagine his new product filling that sort of role. Why didn't he adapt all those redundant Matt Smith sonics into TCEs there is no official toy there and no prospect of one. The paint job would be less complicated too.
