This was a gift from Santa. This lightsaber is beyond amazing. From the illumination it provides in a room at 5:30a to the sounds it makes when swished five feet in front of you. It has provided hours of imagination, which has encouraged stories in Writer’s workshop in our son’s classroom. If you are a collector, of any age, this is a MUST. I, myself, enjoy the heaviness of the handle and the precision look. Sturdy beyond belief.
The Darth Vader lightsaber is solid and can be played with. I would have given it 5 stars but I am an Obi-Wan fan.
After much deliberation, I purchased the Hasbro FX Vader and Yoda Lightsaber for me and my 4 year old. I had read many reviews and comparisons regarding the quality of the Hasbro product against those made by the now defunct Master Replicas, and although I have never seen the MR version, I can say that the Hasbro lightsaber is well made and as advertised. Unfortunately, there was an issue with the Yoda lightsaber. The battery compartment was stuck in the base of the lightsaber and would not come out. It is the first thing I have ever returned on Amazon and so far I would rate their Customer Service 5 stars.
I and my kids own many a light saber including the very cool Star Wars Clone Wars Ultimate Light Saber. But after buying these I can never go back. I picked up a “luke” at a convention for a reasonable price and knew I had to get another. I chose the “Vader” Ep. IV version. Let me tell you a little bit about this “collectable” “toy”.
Hilt – Well this isn’t your $6, $20 or even $30 light saber. This is an all metal, high quality rubber and authentic details hilt. There is something extremely satisfying about grabbing it and feeling that weight and collectable quality that makes it feel not like a toy. It’s as close to the movie version as you can get and it is not fat clunky plastic. On a side note this one is almost twice as heavy as the “Luke” version which makes it feel even more “real”
Blade – Oh, the blade… filled with sequentially lit, high intensity LED lights; it is a glorious sight to behold. Flick on the saber and the red 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. And you know how the toys really only look good in a dark room? Not so here. Even in a well lit room these shine up to a beautiful intensity. 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. I have seen folks who think they are a bit loud but to me the louder the better. And they are LOUD. Turn it on – Vrooom! Turn it off – Sqreeeech! Not only are there great on and off sounds and the low and steady Sith hum 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. And me, I love to play. 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 these high-end sabers too) and no damage yet. It works fine and only has the scratches on the outer light tube that you’d expect. The blade has not broken and the electronics still work fine (I’ve had the Luke for over a year and this Vader for 2 months as of this writing). It still looks and works great. You can always choose to buy one and not whack it around if you want. The sounds and lights make for very movie quality play.
Power – 3 AA batteries and they last a really long time considering all this thing does.
The only downside is price I suppose. But hey save up, or if you’re not interested then don’t buy. If you like light sabers at all though this is a must (everyone that touches one says they have to get one) and now I may have to get a third one. :-)
Great Lightsaber! It arrived just 3 days after ordering it and it was in perfect condition. Its very bright and a great look-a-like. If it could cut things, it would be real!
