Dueling Lightsaber Zero 1 Black Series | Swing Light Sabers | FOC FX Sabers with 3 Sound Fonts | Heavy-Duty Light Sword | Black Metal Hilt for Adults, Boys, Teens (Blue)

Let me just start off by saying that my husband is a big man-child. I don’t say this to be demeaning, just that he could sit and play with a toy for hours if it interested him enough. That being said, when he opened this for Christmas, we had a good hour sesh of light saber swinging and pretend play. We’re both pretty big nerds and, by extension, Star Wars fans. He’s wanted a workable light saber for a very long time, and when I saw this one, I took a shot.First and foremost, this is a very durable light saber, as advertised. The metal hilt is what interested me when purchasing, and wasn’t disappointed upon arrival. Very sturdy materials and seems it will hold up well for years to come and maybe even some actual light saber duels (haven’t tried yet). The light is very bright, dang near blinded me when he first turned it on. The sound quality is good, too.If you’re the type of person to skip over product descriptions and just go off reviews, here’s some things you may want to know:-Each light saber is only the one color you purchase it in. (I know this is as advertised, but ya know, some people...)-It doesn’t come with any sort of instructions, or at least ours didn’t, so if that’s the case for everyone, here’s some pointers. It has 4 settings, which are activated by holding the power button while the sword is “off” until a voice sounds indicating the setting change. The first 3 modes are just different sound modes for the light saber sound effects that you can change to whatever your preference is. The 4th setting is just the saber lit up with no sound effects.-It does not automatically make “contact” saber sounds when you clash it against something, say another light saber. I only mention this because some other light sabers out there do it automatically so this way maybe someone looking for that won’t be mislead. Anyway, each time you want it to make some sort of “clashing” or contact sound you just press the power button once. You just have to time your clicks right with whatever you’re pretending to hit (or actually hitting). It does, however, make the “WOM WOM” noise on its own when you wave it around (idk how to describe that sound so I hope y’all know what I’m talking about lol)-Can’t say definitively how long it’ll hold up against some actual saber dueling, since I’m making this review the same day of playing with it for only a few hours. We dueled with the thick cardboard tube it was shipped in and that didn’t hurt it at all. I guess it’ll just depend on how hardcore you plan to go. We weren’t being super gentle with it, but also weren’t trying to bash it so hard just to *see* if it’ll break. Just will need some common sense on that aspect.I don’t say any of this as “bad” things or complaints about the saber. I actually like it a lot, but I just wanted to put the word out on the features about it that maybe other people might not be so keen on.All in all, I think it was a very good purchase. My husband was very happy with it, and that’s all that matters to me. Sure, maybe some super, hardcore Star Wars nerd may not find it to be superb or top of the line, but trust me when I say that if you’re not one of those people, that you’ll be satisfied with its quality.

I bought two of these for my son and myself: Red and Blue. I wanted to get something that would last more than your average all plastic saber. The grip is metal, the blade plastic (but seems to be the dueling grade and I expect for it to last). Comes with a rechargeable battery.The blades are single colored LEDs and they are bright and will show in day light, and the volume is loud. They also respond well to movement with sound and light. They also come with 4 modes: when the blade is off, press & hold the power button and you will hear (in a poor recording) 1, 2, 3 & sound off (or something like that). They all have different sound and light personalities. One feature I discovered that was not in the manual: Once the blade is on, press the power button repetitively and you will enter what I call a "locked-blades" mode: the led will strobe and will make a sound imitating two lights sabers "stuck' to each other.It comes in a tightly packed shipping tube with not fluff.What it doesn't do (but really, those are details):-The lightsaber turns on at once. The LED does not chase up or down to simulate a blade growing and retracting.-One button controls all the features, so I guess it could be cumbersome for some... but my son figured it out quickly and never complained about it.-No volume control-No carrying case, pouch or other type or storage solution.Overall, for the price, I think this is a great purchase. I am not a collector, just a casual Star Wars fan, so I assume any serious cosplayer would look at more specialized products.

Just got this today, and charged it up. Must say, it arrived FAR faster than I expected, the shipping said end of the month and I got it already.Pros:Light Weight. It is much lighter than the official saber models. This makes it much easier to twirl around than the official.I love the hilt shape. Free of the odd boxes that the official sabers tended to have, it feels very nice in the hand.Color is bright and vivid.I expected it to feel cheap given how light it is, but just the opposite; it feels more solid than my official ForceFX.Cons:Speaker is a little quiet compared to the FFX.Blade comes on all at once, instead of smoothly extending.Propietary charge cable, make sure not to lose it!Sound chip is a little iffy. Seems very easy to make the movement sounds, but the clashing sound requires quite a hard hit.Minor issues aside, if you want a cheap custom saber without shelling out a ton of cash, you can’t go wrong with this one.

The lights and sounds are really cool and it's really not that heavy so it is easy to move around. Seems sturdy but for a second the sounds wouldn't turn off until we tapped it firmly a few times. Hasn't happened since so maybe it was just a one time thing. Prices were around $50 for Black Friday, went up to $60 before Christmas, and then dropped to around $40 something right after so definitely see if you can purchase it at the right time so the prices aren't jacked up. All in all it's fun and we had gotten one a few years back that still works great so we're hoping it's the same for this one.
