Rubie's Star Wars Sith Lord Double Blade Lightsaber Child's Costume Accessory, (3955)

I read the reviews for this product and several people claim they broke theirs the first day. I don;t know how, it is a thick plastic on the blades and the hilt seems very sturdy. If you're an adult just looking for a costume or display piece it's ideal, and the cheapest option. Even if you give it to a small child, if you just tell them to be a little careful and not smash it into concrete as hard as they can, you should be fine for normal play. There is a small plastic locking system to keep the blades inside, and maybe those little arms can break off, but it is very sturdy and a fine product. Maybe they meant the lights went out? I'm not going to smash mine and find out, but I'm telling you it's not flimsy and doesn't look or feel cheap. It's basically the same product I bought back in 1999 when Phantom Menace came out, except I'd swear this version is sturdier. Included are pictures of it lit up in a dark room, and a size comparison to two regular lightsabers I joined into a double. So trust me, I know these lightsabers, and this is a good one. EDIT: I know what they mean now, the end caps pop off if you pull the blade too hard. It's a simple matter to pop them back on, and properly align them to make the saber locks work. You could glue them in place if you really want to, or it makes it super easy to put in different blades if you want, as I am considering doing. The lights are rather dim. Still, for 15 bucks not bad, and it is meant as a costume prop, not a fully functional toy.

I ordered this lightsaber to go along with my 5yr old son's Halloween costume. The lightsaber broke in the same day (less than 10hrs). Cheap piece of plastic!! It was not used to combat. Just the basic functions of turning the light on/off, extending the cones a few times & it is now broken into several pieces. I had to piece it back together at least 5 times before I finally just hid it away from my son. I would suggest looking further & maybe paying a little bit more for something of better quality. My son was super excited while waiting for it to arrive in the mail. I am now looking to purchase a second lightsaber before Halloween. Very disappointing!!

My 10 year old son likes it. Out-stretched it's probably 4 feet long. It's difficult to turn the ends that keep the extensions tucked away of which there are no instructions. There are two separate switches to turn on the lights for each end. The lights are NOT bright at all. In fact, the only good time to turn them on is if you are in the dark; there's no point during the day. It does not make noise of any kind, which I had read. It's a great prop and light-weight and easily put away. I gave it 4 stars b/c I had higher hopes for it - bulb brightness and accessibility.

It was really good I really enjoyed it but be Alerted this toy needs batteries for it to work but once you get the batteries the toy will be just like the actual real life thing

First off, the shipping was $15 and the item was $22, so right away I should’ve steered clear. But my son saw this in a YouTube video and I wanted to get it for him. Well, the mechanism for getting the sabers to pop out and retract is stupid. Way to difficult for a three year old. And the cheap plastic locking mechanism broke in less than a week. It’s just not worth the money.

I read the poor reviews on here and I thought to myself, "How bad could it be?" I mean, my 5-year old wants to be Darth Maul for Haloween and my 2 choices in light saber appear to be this $20 one or a $50+ one...for a 5-year old that is going to move on, I am not willing to pay the price for the more expensive one. With that being said:This thing was underwhelming even though I was expecting a pretty terrible product. I can see how it will break easily, and the lights are so dim you can BARELY see them in TOTAL DARKNESS. Listen to the other reviewers...buy 2 regular light sabers and duct tape them together to make a double-bladed one...this thing really is a complete pile of you-know-what.

Got for my 5yr old. It's a good size for him. It lights up but dose not make noises. Plastic seems like a good material.

junk! the lights do not work, the hole thing is cheap novelty. My son was so excited to get it and it is crap. do not buy this! I know there is not much to choose from but try one of the others. I am a electrician so it got the lights working by dissembling and fixing poor workmanship. wasted effort the lights are a sad, sad, disappointment. To save Halloween i crudely installed two led flashlights in the saber in place of the crap workings.
