This is an outstandting toy to play with. The sounds and lights are just spectacular and there isn't a better feeling in the world than to have the ultimate weapon of a Dark Jedi in your fingertips. This toy is wonderful for just hoarsing around, but do follow the instructions not to jab people with it. If you get too vigorous in your dueling, the blades may bend a bit. Overall an excellent toy!

My brother and I love sword fighting each other, but we usually fight with sticks that break after 10 seconds, give or take. So I bought this double-bladed light saber and my brother bought the Qui-Gon Jinn light saber and we've been having a blast! The plastic on this toy is unbelievably durable, so you can hit the other light saber as hard as you want and it'll last. There is one fixable flaw, however. This has been stated many times, but I have a solution. The on/off button that controls the strobe lights and sound is right in the middle of the handle and can easily be pushed off when fighting. To fix this, I simply looped a string twice around the underside of the on/off and reset buttons and taped down the excess string. It takes more force to push down the button this way, but when your fighting there won't be enough force on the button(s) to push them off. I gave this toy an educational rating of 2 stars because it is educational in the art of sword fighting, but we don't exactly use this knowledge in everyday life, unless of course you are a jedi ;-).

This is truly an amazing toy. Being a Star Wars collector, I don't usually play with my toys (mostly they are for display) but I just can't help myself. In no time, you may be mimicking Maul's moves in front of a full length mirror, which is exactly what I did!

I was led to believe that the blades will extend at the press of a button. However, the sword was engineered to extend when you flick the handle. No big deal but I thought I would be cooler if they extend by the pressing the button. Instead, when you press the on/off button, you get the charge up and charge down sound.

The blades do not contract fully. Further, the workmanship on the handle is not that good (molding lines are clearly visible). So, if you intend to use it as a display piece, you'll be slightly dissappointed.

The best thing about the sword is that it lights up upon contact and makes the cracking sound (like in the movies).

Back in the early 80's I used to have a lightsaber. The blade was hollow. When you swing it, air will flow though the blade and this generates the humming sound. So the harder/faster you swing the sword,the louder the hum.

Not so with this new lightsaber though. The hum is constant and how you swing the sword will not affect the sound intensity. A minor negative point.

At this price, you definitely can't lose. Despite the above complaints (which prevented it from getting the full 5 fun stars) this is a toy that every Star wars fan should have. The obvious plus point is the contact sounds.

So collectors, take it out of the box and have some fun! It's time to kick some Jedi butts!

I've bought several "light sabers" for my son over the years. This one is much more durable than any of the others. The others broke often or part of the saber kept falling off. Cheap plastic.

Well, this one is still plastic, but thicker. Sound effects, but no light until one of the "two beams" from either end of the light saber hits something, like another saber. Then it lights up and the sounds change to combat.

My son could not be happier. He's had it for several months now and it still works beautifully.

After Vader's and Luke's lightsabers, I was eagerly awaiting Maul's and Obi-Wan's. Well, they went and made Maul's alright, which is this review, but made Qui-Gon's instead? Another green saber?! Jeez!

Anyway, Maul's double bladed saber is slightly different from the previous sabers in that it doesn't have the same battle clash noises or light up like the others, which really irked me. Otherwise it looks great on my wall with the others!.

The Star Wars Episode I Darth Maul Electronic double bladed lightsaber is a hit with my twelve year old and with us, his parents.

This item was on his birthday wish list and I had no trouble saying "yes" as the price was fabulous--.... It was shipped right away.

What you first notice is the lightsaber's size--it's over five feet and has double red blades, each measuring about 21 inches. When you turn it on to start battling, there's a cool sound that signals you're ready to battle. Once you hit your target the light sabers flash and the lightsaber seems to growl.

This lightsaber is my son's first choice when he's battling with his friends. It uses two "C" batteries which seem to last a long time.

Thumbs up from the parents. Cool toy. Cool price.

this toy was great I have to say that this is one of a kind and is a great one to own if you are a star wars fan the only thing that I do think they should have done while making this was make it light up but the flashing strobes are coolthe durability is good if you dont hit it to hard but It will break if you hit to hard the educational value on this is none because I maean how educational can a toy lightsaber be ?and the fun of this toy is great if you have a good imagination you will have hours of fun with this toy.

As soon as my granddaughter got it she was so happy . My son and daughter said they were so pleased with its looks ,sound,light and how well it was made. So I just had to order another one.You know its hard to just stop at just one. And with the new movie coming out,we are one step ahead. I thought that the price was so low that maybe it wouldn't be made so well.Boy ! was I wrong. Thanks !

This toy is cool. it is easy to break stuff though,and to get it broke(espescially in the middle).it's too easy to turn off in battle, because the buttons wre in the middle.don't get it wet. Ive gone through 2 lightsabers. The blades are good. Sounds are Awsome. I always fight in the dark. Cool toy! Anyway,good for kicken' jedi tusshy, and thats what i goota do now.

The double-bladed lightsaber is an awesome sight, especially if you possess the dexterity to spin it ala Ray Park. Try to fight anyone with this, though, and you're in for disappointment. The blades are not lit the way they are on Hasbro's single-bladed sabers--a strobe flashes only on ridiuclously forceful contact. The power button is strategically located so that only those who don't have hands won't accidentally shut it off. Clearly, this is a weapon born of a Jedi conspiracy to disarm Sith Knights at critical moments. Buy it just to have it around, but don't expect to kill anyone with it like a proper Sith Lord should.
