Star Wars FX Lightsabers - The Ultimate Star Wars Collectors Item

By R.M.Doyle

Today you have the chance now of being able to act just like a number of the more well known characters from the Star Wars movies. This is because today you are able to purchase an official replica of the Lightsabers that these characters would use. For anyone who is a serious fan of the Star Wars movies owning one of the Star Wars FX Lightsabers is something that they would be proud of.

These Star Wars FX Lightsabers are not cheap compared to some of the toy versions available, but they do have plenty of great features on them. The features that these particular Lightsabers have are as follows:-

1. The blades of these Lightsabers glow and ignite with the same realistic power up and down effects that you will have seen in the ones used in the movies.

2. The sound effects that these Star Wars FX Lightsabers make will have you feeling as you are really in the movies. This is because they have been digitally recorded from the Star Wars movies.

3. Each of the various models of these Lightsabers has four motion sensors built into them and these are what help you to control the various features on them. This includes control over the sound effects, the power up and power down features, plus you have control over the clash and idle hum features as well.

4. The hilt of each one is made from durable metal not only does it look like those in the movies but as you handle it, it feels like one.

5. Once you have finished dueling with your enemies then you have the opportunity to rest yours by placing on the display stand which is provided with it.

The biggest decision you will have to make when you are thinking of purchasing one of these Lightsabers which of the models it is you want. For some they may prefer to go for the Darth Vader version that has a red blade, but for others they may prefer to be Luke Skywalker whose model has a blue blade or for others they may want to hold Yoda's green blade model.

For you to actually use the different Star Wars FX Lightsabers you will need to insert batteries into them which they don't actually come with. For the Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader models you will need to insert 3 x AA batteries into the hilt of the Lightsabers first. As for the Yoda model which is in fact only 33 inches long to power this one requires 3 x AAA batteries. - 16651
