STAR WARS The Black Series Rey Skywalker Force FX Elite Lightsaber with Advanced LEDs and Sound Effects, Adult Collectible Roleplay Item,F2014

I recently have found a passion for LightSabers. Compared with the hilts at Galaxy's Edge, this is superior. I would not recommend this for doing Light Saber Tricks or dueling. However, this is a very accurate representation of Rey's Light Saber from the last scene of "The Rise of Skywalker". I now have other advanced Light Sabers for doing tricks.

I don’t own a Galaxy’s Edge Saber but own many Force Fx Sabers including this one. With all the comparative reviews on both brands that I have done Galaxy’s Edge sabers based on reviews seem to edge out (no pun intended) most of the Force FX Sabers by a little bit in the accuracy and quality department. Till now.The biggest draw about this saber is the unique activation switch! Which in all honesty makes this Saber great! Galaxy Edge’s version of this saber does not have the now iconic twisting neck switch & instead has a standard switch. To me that is shocking. Hasbro was smart enough to perhaps notice that Disney wasn’t going that extra step and it gave them the perfect opportunity to go that extra mile that Disney did not.So here is what I like, Love & hate about the Force FX Black Series Elite Rey Skywalker Light SaberWhat I love:-Heavy Hilt: Drop this on your foot it’s gonna hurt-Twist activation: The attention to detail is great you even get a flash of blue light as it activates just like the film.What I Like:-Finally Unique sounds: Now I know this particular Saber requires sound effects different from the standard Hasbro effects but its still a breath of fresh air! As mentioned above one of the things keeping Disney’s GE sabers ahead in the competition is they have different sound effects for each saber. Hasbro FFX sabers with the exception of the Rey Skywalker, Dark Saber & Kylo Ren sabers all have identical cookie cutter sound effects. To me this has always been my biggest gripe with Hasbro.What I hate:-Quality of Sound Effects and lighting effects: Now I should preface this by saying I’m technically spoiled here. I have about 8 Force Fx sabers but I also invested in a Top-tier $500 Custom saber by Saber Forge and it is mind blowing how superior the lights and sounds even color and vis FX customizable options (Blade flicker etc) are with their top tier option. By comparison alone Force Fx in the sound and brightness department is garbage! Now I know if FFX were on par they too would by in the $500 price range so I understand there is a compromise. But I challenge FFX to increase the quality of their onboard hardware and mix up their sound effects to better the overall product.In the end Rey Skywalker Saber is a great addition to my growing collection.If you are still reading this review you’re awesome!

I somehow missed seeing this in "Rise of the Skywalker" and had already picked up a different version from a local sabersmith shop. Hasbro FX is the best of all the lightsabers, best quality and best engineering, best prices, too. On top of all this, the designs are "screen accurate". See "Rebel Legion". Not a big fan of the cloth wrap but can't bring myself to cut it away. Good scrolling effects and sound effects. Good grip and uses rotating gear ring to turn on and turn off, regular AA batteries to power. My second favorite lightsaber after my first, a Hasbro FX Kit Fisto from back in the day. NOT FOR DUELING. Uses an LED string, yellow in color. Flaps of emitter fold down so no blade plug needed.

The media could not be loaded. Item works and looks great sometime the molten tip mode activates when I turn the saber on but is random.

The media could not be loaded. From the moment you hold this lightsaber in your hands, you can feel the power and history it represents. The design is a perfect blend of elegance and functionality, with intricate details that pay homage to the Jedi Order and Rey's own journey as a Jedi Knight.

My first order was a dented box/like new from Amazon. What I got in my black series box was a broken Galaxy’s edge lightsaber. Someone pulled a fast one. Amazon handled it like a champ. I bring that up because I’ve now handled a Galaxy’s Edge and Black Series of this Saber. Black Series is way more movie accurate and the switching mechanism is the same as the movie. You can see the light through tiny holes in the hilt and there’s a cool little button that looks like a screw that makes blaster deflection noise when touched that turns different parts of the blade bright white like you blocked a laser.The detail and feel are great. It’s a great addition to my nerd collection.

I don't know if you're like me but I've been looking for a faithful, screen accurate version of this lightsaber for years. I don't know when this came out but THIS IS IT. it's gorgeous, detailed and heavy. It's perfect. It has the switch ignition. The light windows, the green ignition flash and the prongs on the top. It's Rey's saber.I will keep an eye out for it, some reports have said it dies, so I have till June to see if it's a bad one.So far It is perfect. Get this now. Don't buy the Galaxy edge one it doesn't have nearly half the great things this one does. I'm so happy.
