There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
After waiting my entire life, they were finally remaking the saber that I had wanted more than anything else. I was a little hesitant to order it at first, as I didn’t want to be disappointed when it was the same as its 2002 counterpart. Still, I was very excited.
When it arrived today, I was utterly speechless. They fixed every issue that the first one had, and it wasn’t bulky. My eyes lit up like a kid again as I held the saber of my favorite star wars character. Dooku has always been overlooked, but he always had a fan with me. This is what I always wanted, and it will forever be my favorite collectible.
Thank you, Hasbro. You’ve made my dream come true.
Overall, I'd agree with John's recent review. As with my Mace Windu saber, the appearance is very nice. The actual stand is much nicer than the Windu saber's. The sound seemed a little clearer and deeper than the Windu saber also. That may simply be due to differences in the housing design. For those who don't know, these lightsabers and ones made by Ultrasabers, Saberforge, Vader's Vault, etc... all have the speaker at the butt of the hilt (except for dual bladed ones).
As a display piece, the saber and stand are perfect. I like the way the blade lighting extends up the shaft as opposed to instant on as well. Nice touch with all Black Series sabers that takes multiple LEDs up the blade to make work.
As an added note, all Black Series sabers are built for LIGHT play only. That means they can handle play dueling with light (maybe moderate) contact, but DO NOT bash them around like competition sabers made by independent companies.
Here's the nitpicky negatives though.
1) The blade doesn't detach from the hilt, so you can't wear it at all for conventions, halloween, etc...
2) The blade, as has been mentioned in other reviews, is definitely orange (not red) in normal light. Even in a darkened bathroom used as a test area, the blade was still reddish-orange. LEDs have been around since the 1960s and are cheap, so there's really no excuse for not being able to at least get the blade red in dim lighting.
3) The battery pack / speaker unit is indeed hard to install. First there's the tiny phillips screw on the unit. It's hard to screw in and is literally right up against the wall of the module. Trying to screw down the butt end of the hilt over it is a little bit of a pain also. Very fine threads on the hilt end, so be patient and careful there. That's the same with any unofficial saber also though (ie Ultrasabers)
4) Balance: With Dooku's lightsaber having a curved handle based on modern competition fencing rapiers, I expected better balance. This thing is very heavy at the bottom end of the hilt though, which makes it a little awkward to play around with. Not a big deal for me personally, as I won't be roughhousing with it.
5) Shipping: Amazon did an utter CRAP job with the shipping on this. My Mace Windu saber was sold via a third party and came in an outer shipping box. Amazon tried to save the cost of a lousy couple of ounces of weight, and shipped it with just a label on the retail box. End result; the retail box got chewed up and the collector's value definitely took a hit. I'm not even sure the shipping label will peel cleanly from the retail box either.
6) The red toggle switch at the base of the hilt is fake. It not only doesn't move, it doesn't even light up when the saber is activated.
As a final note and in response to remarks in other reviews; all manufacturer's lightsabers have thick hilts. The room is needed for the electronics. It's not that far outside of canon either. Look how thick the saber hilts are in the movies. A bit awkward? Yes, but such is the nature of the beast.
Overall, I still think most of the Black Series sabers are good buys. The ones under $300 anyway. There's room for improvement, especially with the LEDs, but for the most part, the quality is there. Similar sabers via Sabertech, Ultrasabers, etc... are going to cost twice as much by the time you get done with adding electronics to the hilts.
I don't really know much abt star wars etc...etc the original from when he & I were young...but this is really cool with sound effects & it lights up!

Leggermente più grande di quella utilizzata nel film per fare spazio alle batterie per l'accensione.
Pezzo da esposizione veramente notevole.
Il prezzo di queste spade laser si sta alzando sempre di più purtroppo.
Reviewed in Mexico on September 6, 2020
Es un poco más grande que el original pero el nivel de detalles es muy bueno. En mi caso, he hecho la conversión y la he adaptado para poder desmontar la hoja. Ha quedado de lujo. Por ese precio ha sido una genial opción. Quizás es un riesgo comprar cuando lo ves como “usado”. En mi caso, contento.
Solidly built with a chrome metal hilt with rubberised grip. The blade is also very bright (the red blades don't tend to be as bright as the blue and green blades due to light wavelengths) so make sure you use fresh batteries if you want the full effect! The sounds are also very loud with the combined battery pack/speaker unit as the entire pommel that screws into the base of the hilt. This also makes it one of the heaviest lightsabers available - so be aware of this if you're planning on duelling or spinning this around. In spite of this it's surprisingly comfortable to hold in the hand and is well balanced.
Worth picking up if you're looking to add to your collection or are a fan of the prequel sabers.
