obi wan fx saber review
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.
You want one of these.
If you have ever wanted your own lightsaber, this is about as close as you can get. Like all FX lightsabers, the handle is made of proper metal so its a good replica rather than a toy. The blade lights up with LEDs so it is very bright and lights along the blade. The sound effects are the icing on the cake. They won't stand up to a proper fight, but they can take a few knocks if you fancy a careful duel.
Everyone I know has thought the same about these things. The first impression is 'well, thats a lot of money for a silly toy, I'm sure its a good replica but who needs it really'. However, as soon as they get one in their hands and turn it on you can see them thinking 'I have GOT to get me one of these'.
If you've already got one FX lightsaber, you don't need another, but if you are tempted at all, trust me, you want one. Do shop around though as prices vary wildly. The blue Anakin/Luke saber is quite common and cheap, as is the red Vader one. The Obi wan and green luke sabers are discontinued and hard to find. Yoda's is very small, and Darth Maul's twin bladed verion is understandably expensive. The most expensive is the Mace Windu purple one that is usually twice the price of the others.
The greatest weapon in the galaxy in the palm of your hand
After waiting for countless years for a true lightsaber to hit the market, the day has finally come.
The Force FX Lightsabers are nothing short of amazing. While they aren't actually made of laser, they're probably the closest you're going to get to a real lightsaber for a long long time. I own three of these bad boys, and I have to say that the Obi-Wan Kenobi lightsaber from Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith is definitely my favorite.
The intense blue blade shines very brightly even in a lit room, but in a darkened room is where it can really take your breath away. The LED strip inside the blade shines through the very sturdy permanently attached polycarbonate blade beautifully. While the manufacturer suggests that dueling with these sabers is not a very good idea, you can do so if you use light taps. Indeed these sabers are intended to be collected, not fought with.
The hilt is beautifully crafted. I really like the hilt on the Obi-Wan Lightsaber because of the color variety that it features. The hilt allows for spinning, with a grip pattern placed on the middle of the hilt. The power button is the only slight problem I have with this saber. It protrudes out of the side of the hilt, which can get in the way of moving hands. Other than this, however, the saber has a great hilt.
Overall the Obi-Wan Kenobi Force FX Lightsaber is the best Force FX I have ever owned. I would recommend the Force FX series to any serious Star Wars fan looking to get his hands on the closest thing possible to a real Lightsaber.
awesome light saber
I bought this light saber for my grandson for Christmas. It was a real hit with him as well as his whole family. During Christmas break from school he took it over to a friends house and his friends were very impressed. I'm so glad I bought it for him - the look on his face when he opened the package was priceless.
Obi-Wan Lightsaber
We had been shopping for quite some time for this light saber and thankfully came across it here for a great deal and a trustworth seller being Amazon.
However when my son opened his Christmas present we realized the dammaged box it came it actually meant the product inside was dammaged which I find very irresponsible on Amazon's behalf. The indestructible poly carbonate blade is actually destructable, even when wrapped securely in plastic and styrofoam. There is an imperfection line on the poly carbonate blade, that is very noticible when it is lit up.
So beware when ordering online, the goods may come dammaged, even if you order from Amazon.
