Use the force with the incredible Force Action Lightsaber! Just like in the Star Wars movies, this toy weapon springs into action, lights up, and makes realistic lightsaber sounds. The weapon of choice for a young Jedi in training, this toy is recommended for children ages six and up.

The toy weapon is spring-activated and the blade is made of translucent blue plastic. View larger. View Side - Top.

The blade itself lights up and makes realistic lightsaber sounds. View larger.

Just Like the Movies
This lightsaber features the same design wielded by Obi-Wan Kenobi in the tremendous battles of the Clone Wars and in defeating some of the most diabolical villains of the dark side, from General Grievous to Darth Maul. For warriors who need to be prepared at any moment to duel with Sith Lords or enemies of the Republic, this weapon swiftly extends to over three feet long with the sliding of a button, and then it's ready to help save the galaxy. The spring-activated blade is made with translucent blue plastic. Built-in segments fully retract into the handle, and the blade is illuminated with bands of light. While it's intended for use against another lightsaber -- and not a person or animal -- the blade is built from a safer, softer plastic than the durable, hard plastic handle, just in case. The silver handle features dynamic looking black, gold, and red accents.

Realistic Sounds
For over 30 years, Stars Wars fans the world over have been inspired to make their own lightsaber sound effects, but now, the Force Action Lightsaber does it for you. The toy creates the distinctive power-activated "humming" drone that creates anticipation in moments between swings. This lightsaber also replicates the burst of electricity as the saber turns on and the blade extends as well as the "wave" of the blade as it hovers through the air.

Using the Force
Unlike the lightsabers of the Star Wars movie, the toy doesn't retract with the push of a button. After turning the weapon off, the blade can be collapsed by hand -- but be careful not to jam the blade too tightly into the handle. A couple of times while playing with the lightsaber, the blade did not extend when the power was activated; the sound effects started up, but the "on" button had to be pressed more than once to get the blade out. The on/off button looks as if it should also control the volume of the lightsaber -- but it does not. Parents who get sick of the "humming" can remove the batteries, as the lightsaber requires three AA batteries (not included) for its lights and sounds. But Obi-Wan Kenobi's Lightsaber wouldn't be half the fun without its glowing arc-wave energy blade, and the blue light is especially mesmerizing in the dark. While it's always exciting to fight against villains, the lightsaber is a great toy for young Jedis learning to wield the Force on their own.

This saber has provided hours of "battling" fun for our Star Wars loving kids. First, it "pops" out (spring loaded), glows, and "hums" while being used. We bought 2 and the boys (7 and 9 yrs) love to battle, and they fight the correct way, not to hurt, but to have tons of fun. Great price ($10), 1/2 of what they are in the store, with no shipping or tax to boot!

don't know who loves these things more, the kids or me. We have three of them (Luke, Darth, Obi) and they are the coolest. They can take a good beating too...within reason, of course.

The 'blade' retracts completely into the handle. The package makes it look as though it doesn't, but it does. Also they are pretty long when extended. The sound effects are pretty good too. Of course, the best part is that the effects are motion and contact sensitive.

Great toy for the child (or adult) who is into Star Wars (or just likes beating the tar out of their sibling).

My boys absolutely love these lightsabers! We've owned them for several months and they do not take it easy during their duals. I'm impressed with the durability of the toys and there's just something about hearing that snap-hiss sound that comes with the "blade" springing out of the hilt. Obviously, I play with these as much as my sons.
