5 Stars Master Replicas Force FX Lighsaber
Master Replicas is the Star Wars Force FX lighsaber to get! It is excellent quality and it is not made by a big toy company like Hasbro. Sadly it lost its license to market Star Wars items, but you can still buy Master Replicas lighsabers online. They are extremely cool! I think any Star Wars fan should have this as a collectible and a toy!

Here’s your proof of buy right here. I and my kids own many a light saber including the very cool Clone Wars Ultimate Light Saber Kit. But after buying this… I can never go back. This is it; I’m ruined on this baby. I picked it up at a convention for a reasonable price and plan to buy at least one more the next time I am there. Let me tell you a little bit about this “collectable” “toy”.
Hilt - Well this isn’t your $6, $20 or even $30 light saber. This is an all metal, high quality rubber and authentic details hilt. There is something extremely satisfying about grabbing it and feeling that weight and collectable quality that makes it feel not like a toy. It’s as close to the movie version as you can get and it is not fat clunky plastic.
Blade - Oh, the blade… filled with sequentially lit, high intensity LED lights; it is a glorious sight to behold. Flick on the saber and the blade lights from hilt to top as if extending from the hilt, not all at once like a flashlight like a toy version - same with turning it off. And you know how the toys really only look good in a dark room? Not so here. Even in a well lit room these shine up to a beautiful intensity. That’s the difference in the light not being just in the handle but actually all throughout the blade.
Sounds - The sound effects are just awesome. I have seen folks who think they are a bit loud but to me the louder the better. And they are LOUD. Turn it on - Vrooom! Turn it off - Sqreeeech! Not only are there great on and off sounds but whacking your buddy will yield several different clashing and screeching sounds. And best of all, a feature that no toy version has, swing it around and via motion sensitive controls it will sound off several swishing and swinging light saber sounds.
Durability - Well it is marketed as a collectable but anyone who has one will tell you that it’s of no use to have one if you can’t swing it around and bang it a bit. And me, I love to play. So it is a toy in the fact that I have had extended light saber battles with both my kids, taking some care, but generally letting loose (and yes, letting them play with this high-end saber too) and no damage yet. It works fine and only has the scratches on the outer light tube that you’d expect. The blade has not broken and the electronics still work fine (I’ve had mine for almost 5 months by now). It still looks and works great. You can always choose to buy one and not whack it around if you wante. With all the sounds and lights you’d swear you were in a movie while having a fight though (another reason I can’t wait to get another).
Power - 3 AA batteries and they last a really long time considering all this thing does.
The only downside is price I suppose. But hey save up, or if you’re not interested then don’t buy. If you like light sabers at all though this is a must and I can’t wait to get my next one or two and have a great fight.
