Product Description: Use the Force with the amazing Force Action Lightsabers! These weapons of Force-users everywhere have blades that retract fully into the handle, and with the push of a button, spring into action, light up, and play real Lightsaber sound effects! Luke Skywalker's iconic blue lightsaber blade springs into action, ready for a Jedi to begin his training or go up against Darth Vader. This elegant weapon from a more civilized age requires 3x 'AA' batteries (not included) for its lights and sounds.
Amazon.com Product Description: 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. Luke Skywalker's weapon of choice, this toy is recommended for young Jedis ages six and older.
It lights up and makes realistic lightsaber sounds, just like in the Star Wars movies.
The weapon swiftly extends to more than three feet long.
Just Like the Movies Originally the lightsaber of Anakin Skywalker, this weapon was passed on to Luke but tragically lost during a fierce contest against the evil Darth Vader in the cloud city of Bespin. In your hands, this weapon can once again serve to save the galaxy.
This weapon swiftly extends to more than three feet long with the sliding of a button. 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 and black handle features dynamic accents.
Realistic Sounds For more than 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 Skywalker'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.
Holding up well... I am writing this review a year after I purchased this lightsaber for my 11 year old son. He has three younger brothers and among the four of them they own virtually every type and color of lightsaber under US$30 that has been sold.
This sword has been one of their favorites and, after numerous battles with neighborhood kids, has held up well. It still auto-extends fully, and both lights and sounds work. My one gripe is that it goes through batteries quickly.
Perhaps we were fortunate with the lightsaber that was delivered to us or maybe my boys have learned to be more gentle with their swords after others have broken (doubtful), but this has turned out to be a good buy for us.
GREAT This is a great item, so are the other force action lightsabers, but luke was the best one. Obi Wan's was sort of short.I am home from school right now because I am ill. But the force action light sabers are great! I always wanted a lightsaber that would poop up when you push a button. to put it down, oush the saber-part down or the button. Also buy HALF-LIFE games, from steam. buy them from steam client,(download them to) and download the steam client. go to [...] for more info
How cool is this? My son loves it. I love it. We have 3 of these. I bought one here that was defective, contacted Amazon, they shipped a replacement out that same day by overnight. Stuff happens, Amazon fixes the issue. I love the lightsaber. Always wanted something like this as a kid, now I have a kid that wants one...I am still a total geek or what? The lightsaber rules! The old extend yourself that we have seem so plain now....
Hit it Hard And Then Enjoy A Almost Perfect Saber I got my saber for christmas this year and was quite excited. When I put in my batteries it glowed ( only in certain parts which are about 5 centimeters apart from each other) and made noise. The sounds are great!! I closed my lightsaberand when i came back and poped it out the lights or sound didn't come on. I have to hit it not so hard to get it to work again. There are even times when you close it that the lights and soundds stay on. Except for those glitches the saber is great. It is pretty sturdie and a bit longer then most of my friends sabers.
Star Wars Force Action Lightsaber It is not bad for the price. The only thing is, the saber part does not glow solid. It only glows where the lights are placed in side. Not a bad product for the price.
