This is my second force fx saber, and my first made by Hasbro. You can feel the quality of the materials when you hold it. It feels heavy, and solid, and the metal is usually a little cold. The hilt is huge to hold if you have relatively small hands like myself.

Power up and down effects are pretty smooth, and the sound effects sync up nicely. The clash effects when you hit the blade against something are MUCH more responsive than my Yoda saber, for which I am very thankful.

The only disappointment was the brightness of the blade, and apparently this is because I'm spoiled by the green Yoda saber. I did a little research and apparently the green ones are considerably brighter than the other colors. Something else a tad irksome: the photos people post show a much brighter saber, with a slightly white core. Mine is just a dull blue compared to these photos. Would love to hear some comments from other owners on that.

It's fun to practice and show off the spinning moves from the movies, you'll find a lot of tutorials on the web (youtube). It serves as an attractive mantle piece and fun conversation item (everyone wants to turn it on), and perhaps best of all is dueling with two of them... looks and feels pretty awesome.

A final piece of advice - consider the Yoda one, especially if you're on the smaller side. I'm a small guy (5'8, 140lbs), and I find it much easier to wield, especially for executing one handed moves. It's lighter, smaller, and brighter.

This review is from: Star Wars Force FX Lightsaber Obi-Wan (Toy)

when you take it out of the box it is in foam and plastic protective wrap. It is a brilliant blue straight from the movie and replicates it perfectly. However it is NOT durable at all. DO NOT fight with this.

I received my fx lightsaber and from what i can tell from videos of master replicas, these are the same quality, construction and appearance. It's like hasbro just took over the designs of them and squarely kept to them. The battery hatch is a bit difficult to slide open on first try, but if you remove the arrow sticker it will easily slide off. It's durable and the sounds are nice. The hilt is made mostly of metal. Comes with a sturdy display stand. If you had been waiting on these, curious if they matched up to the older master replica ones as I had been, I'd say your wait is over. Go buy one.
