Cheap plastic, false claim about sound effect., May 29, 2010
= Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Star Wars Jango Fett Blaster (Toy)
I purchased this for two reasons, one for the prop of the body to be used in a costume or perhaps as a basis to make a twin. As a real life plastic prop it is barely passable, the plastic is very cheap and just gripping the gun in my hand it flexes, I imagine if it was dropped it would shatter. So it is not suitable in my opinion to be carried around at all unless you possible beef it up by filling it up with foam or clay/bondo, but I wouldn't bother. The other reason and perhaps more so why I wanted it is it claims to have the movie effect of Jango's blaster, this is a complete lie, the packaging states the same thing "Blaster with Authentic Movie Sound", the sound is a constant whine/burble like a 'ray gun' from those noise makers from the 90's or so, it in NO WAY resembles the sound effect of Jango's blaster from the films.
Finally the battery compartment is a pretty bad design you must remove a screw and tab in order to twist off the back end to insert batteries.
So overall I'm disappointed in this product, I expected a realistic sound effect as the Han Solo blaster has but this thing is not up to that product's quality.

GREAT TOY, November 2, 2008
I've read some bad reviews for this gun and crossed my fingers when I bought it but the gun I recieved had no problems with it at all. It was relatively easy to open up and put the batteries in, just use a screwdriver.
My sone loves it and uses it with or without his being in his jango fett costume. GREAT gun, it's held up to a very active 4 year old in the month that we've had it. Hopefully it'll last for a long long long time since he loves it!

Noisy but isn't that the point of a blaster, November 25, 2007
= Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars
I bought this for a halloween costume accessory and kept the blaster unopened until the big day because of the other reviews that it would break instantly. Ours has taken a beating and still keeps beeping and blaring and making that mind numbing blaster sound and I wish it would break soon! But the kids love it.
