ReplyDeleteThe Sonic Energizer, the Sonic screwdriver, sonic lipstick.
To paraphrase, 'If it's not SONIC it's crap!' : )
Hi, John - Great to see some close shots of the actual sonic energizer prop! I found my version of it, the one my dad made for me when I was a kid. It's not terribly screen accurate... :)
ReplyDeleteI'd still be happy to send you a couple photos if you like. Shall I just use the email address in your blogger profile? If there's another you'd prefer, you can send it to me privately at jason @ jasonbennion.com...
When in doubt, the handle of a Swiffer duster works for a stand-in sonic engergizer. Doesn't light up or heal anybody though.
ReplyDeleteSFF: The sonic energizer is great, isn't it? I love it. Great design, I think. I really want one.
ReplyDeleteJason: Thank you! That is so awesome. Please e-mail me at Muirbusiness@yahoo.com, and send me the pics. I would love to see it. Let me know if you want me to post it, or you would prefer I not. But either way, I really want to see it. It is so great that you found it. I know it must mean a lot to you, in terms of childhood memories.
George: Ha! A swiffer duster...does it have the tuning fork at the end though? :)
best,
John
