Sadly it lost its license to market Star Wars items, but you can still buy Master Replicas lighsabers online. Master Replicas is the Star Wars Force FX lighsaber to get. It is excellent quality and it is not made by a big toy company like Hasbro. They are extremely cool. I think any Star Wars fan should have this as a collectible and a toy.
I can never go back. It's as close to the movie version as you can get and it is not fat clunky plastic.Blade - Oh, the blade. The blade has not broken and the electronics still work fine (I've had mine for almost 5 months by now). So it is a toy in the fact that I have had extended light saber battles with both my kids, taking some care, but generally letting loose (and yes, letting them play with this high-end saber too) and no damage yet. filled with sequentially lit, high intensity LED lights; it is a glorious sight to behold. And they are LOUD.
This is an all metal, high quality rubber and authentic details hilt. Turn it off - Sqreeeech. Flick on the saber and the blade lights from hilt to top as if extending from the hilt, not all at once like a flashlight like a toy version - same with turning it off. I picked it up at a convention for a reasonable price and plan to buy at least one more the next time I am there. I have seen folks who think they are a bit loud but to me the louder the better.
Let me tell you a little bit about this "collectable" "toy".Hilt - Well this isn't your $6, $20 or even $30 light saber. But after buying this. And me, I love to play. I and my kids own many a light saber including the very cool Clone Wars Ultimate Light Saber Kit. Turn it on - Vrooom. There is something extremely satisfying about grabbing it and feeling that weight and collectable quality that makes it feel not like a toy. You can always choose to buy one and not whack it around if you wante. Not so here.
Skywalkin'Here's your proof of buy right here. Not only are there great on and off sounds but whacking your buddy will yield several different clashing and screeching sounds. And best of all, a feature that no toy version has, swing it around and via motion sensitive controls it will sound off several swishing and swinging light saber sounds.Durability - Well it is marketed as a collectable but anyone who has one will tell you that it's of no use to have one if you can't swing it around and bang it a bit. It works fine and only has the scratches on the outer light tube that you'd expect. Even in a well lit room these shine up to a beautiful intensity. With all the sounds and lights you'd swear you were in a movie while having a fight though (another reason I can't wait to get another).Power - 3 AA batteries and they last a really long time considering all this thing does.The only downside is price I suppose. This is it; I'm ruined on this baby. But hey save up, or if you're not interested then don't buy.
And you know how the toys really only look good in a dark room. That's the difference in the light not being just in the handle but actually all throughout the blade.Sounds - The sound effects are just awesome. It still looks and works great. If you like light sabers at all though this is a must and I can't wait to get my next one or two and have a great fight.
This product was awesome.Just out of the movie. Used as a halloween prop, and everyone was blown away on its quality.My submitted pics were from a 2008 Halloween party.
this is a fun collectible, it is not a toy. i had fun hitting things with it.
This toy is very lightweight and good for indoor and outdoor use.I highly reccomend this toy.
