Customer Reviews

Lightsaber FX
This is a really cool thing to own if you're a big Star Wars fan. I got it in the mail a few days ago and have been having fun with it since.

The metal hilt is very durable and well constructed. It's not an exact movie replica, the hilt is a little bigger than the ones they used in the movies because of all the electronics they had to stuff in there. But it's not overly huge or anything, like those cheap $15 you can buy at any toy store.

The blade is just awesome. The bright blue shines and glows even in well lit environments. But when you turn off all the lights and turn it on, it just looks really cool the way it glows in the dark. I thought it was also cool how when you turn it on or off, you can see the glow of the blade expanding and retracting as if it was a "real" lightsaber.

Now as someone else said, this isn't really the type of toy you just want to go around swinging madly and stage your own Anakin VS Obi-Wan fights (even though it will make a clashing noise when the blade is tapped). That's not to say it's not durable, because it is very well constructed, but I just don't think it would be wise to go bashing the blade into stuff.

It sounds really awesome too, just like in the movies. And the batteries (it takes 3 AA batteries [not included]) are quick and easy to install, you don't even need a screwdriver or anything.

I really see this as more of a collector's item (it even comes with a stand to proudly display it), something to show off to your friends, or maybe as a really good costume piece for halloween. I'm a bit of a sword collector myself, so I kind of see this as a nice addition to my collection.

If you've ever wanted to know what it feels like to hold the power of a lightsaber in your hand, this is probably the closest thing you're ever gonna get.

A little delicate but my son loves it.
If you want something to really fight with this isn't the toy. But if you want something for an older StarWars nut to swing around in the dark and pretend like he's Anakin, this is the toy. My son saved birthday money to buy this and loves it. It's not something he can fight with his brothers with but when he breaks it out he's definitely the coolest Anakin around. I think he spent his money on something he really loves!!!
It gets a 4 out of 5 from this mom.

Total Awesomeness!
This is my first "Force FX" lightsaber, and I must say that I am completely satisfied. It lights up and shuts down realistically, with accurate sounds. It also makes noises when you move it around, and of course when you strike the blade on something. I don't know how good the Master Replicas were, but I'm sure this is just as good, if not better.
