![Hasbro’s ‘Star Wars’ Ultimate FX Lightsabers May Light Up Your Life [Review]

You can buy a retractable blade made of clear plastic that simulates “unsheathing” or 2. You can buy a solid saber, with a blade that’s essentially a light-up tube. Hasbro sent CA the Darth Vader model from its Ultimate FX Lightsaber line and it takes the second route, adding motion-activated battle sounds to the mix for a lightweight, surprisingly sturdy toy. Priced around $35 in stores, this lightsaber treads the light-up lightsaber middleground for those who want to be able to swing with the force of a Jedi/Sith warrior, but don’t want to drop a hundred bucks on more fragile, prop-grade items.
