Best Lightsabers for Realistic Cosplay of Star Wars Universe

Avid lovers of lightsaber battles will be able to cosplay the Star Wars world with the most realistic experiences! The blade will start glowing with nice deep red light upon a touch of a button on the hilt. Your every movement and every hit, as well as on and off switches, will be accompanied by authentic movie-like sounds. They will surely help you immerse yourself in the character of the Dark Lord of the Sith. With this lightsaber, you will be able to enjoy exciting and intense dueling as well as feel the power of the dark side of the Force. Playing with this lightsaber, you can successfully defeat your enemies in the simulated battles to the glory of the whole Empire.

This lightsaber does not require any special assembly. It comes fully assembled, but the only thing missing in the package is the 3 AA batteries that could power the toy. Make sure to purchase them in time. Once delivered, place them in a special unit and secure them carefully in the hilt. If you plan to use the sword on a regular basis, it would be wiser to invest in a set of rechargeable batteries with a charger. One of our expert reviews will surely help you pick the right ones.

Another piece of good news is that with this Dart Vader Force FX Lightsaber you will get a mounting display stand where you will be able to store the toy when not using it. The blade of the lightsaber simply slides inside the stand and confidently rests there in-between your intergalactic battles.

It is worth highlighting separately, how realistically the manufacturer managed to replicate the original Jedi weapon from Star Wars. As soon as you press the button on the hilt, the blade of the sword will enigmatically light up blue, and you will hear a distinct, familiar, and immediately recognizable sound that will throw you back into the fictional Star Wars Universe. This highly reliable and durable lightsaber will be able to withstand both light hits and intense dueling with other toy swords (better with little contact). You can easily take it along for fun and realistic cosplaying with your friends and recreation of legendary battles. Be assured, your every swing will be truly spectacular, as it will be accompanied by the authentic movie-like sound effects. Besides, thanks to the fantastic battle-clash lights, the blade will glow brighter every time you hit your opponent's weapon as if sending tiny sparks flying into the air. We do believe this amazing lightsaber will help you turn into a real Jedi!

If you are planning to purchase this lightsaber as a gift to your child, grandson, or a dear friend, then there are few pleasant little things that will surely delight you. First of all, you will immediately notice the bright and colorful packaging, which will undoubtedly appeal to little kids and will look lovely as a present. Also, 3 AA batteries for powering the lightsaber are already included in the set, and therefore there will be no need for purchasing them separately. The lightsaber will work immediately out of the box.

Yet, while having fun wielding the lightsaber, please keep in mind that you are dealing with a toy weapon and it is better not to abuse it heavily when fighting. There is still a chance that under heavy extended use the LEDs inside the blade can fail, leaving small dark “dead” spots on the blade’s surface.

So, the key feature of this unique model is the ability to change the color! It allows its owner to be on either side of the Force! Play the role of Anakin or Luke Skywalker, using the blue light, or step into the shoes of legendary Darth Vader figure, as you switch to the red. The unforgettable epic transition from the light to the dark side of Force and transformation of the hero into a villain can now be recreated over and over again.

In our opinion, the sword is very simple to use and to handle. All operations can be carried out with a touch of a button. With the activation power switch, you can immediately turn on the blue light, which will be accompanied by both the amazing animation and the realistic sound effects from the movie. If you hold the button down for a while, the light will pulse and crackle to red with an alternate flashing of two colors. Such slow color change represents Anakin's internal struggle before the fall to the dark side. Though, you can choose whether you want a fast or slow change of colors. With only a single click of a button, the lightsaber will turn off again. Beware, next time when you ‘ignite’ your weapon, it will light up in a different color. 

Another key feature of this lightsaber model is the sound effect of Darth Vader's breathing, which accompanies the red glow of the blade. Unlike in other similar models, this additional feature itself is quite unique and will add the realism to your dueling on swords with your friends. With this lightsaber, you will be able to fully experience the presence of the Dark Side of the Force. On top of that, all your maneuvers and swings will be accompanied by characteristic sound effects from the film. Therefore, the thrill and excitement of the battles are guaranteed.

If you look closely enough at the bottom of the hilt, you will be able to find a small sliding switch specially disguised to blend in and match the rest of the handle. With its help, you can easily switch the sword into either a demo or neutral mode. If you want to see its real power and enjoy the demonstration of all of its features at once, opt for a demo mode. It will effectively display within a minute of time everything this toy weapon has to offer. At first, it will light up with the blue glow, the color of young Jedi’s signature weapon, and then there will be an automatic transition to the red one, to signify Anakin’s fall to the dark side. After that, the light will turn off.

With this incredible and mighty lightsaber, you will be able to protect the whole Galaxy from wars and devastation. It boasts translucent sword blade that lights up with distinct authentic humming sound and shines in bright blue.The illumination principle of this model is somewhat different from the others. Powerful LEDs that produce a beautiful bright glow change their color with only a touch of a button on the hilt or automatically with every swing. The color can alternate even when the lightsaber hits against another object, such as the opponent's weapon. If you want the same color to remain without alteration, we advise handling the lightsaber gently, swirling and wielding your sword without fast and abrupt movements.

Colors alternate in one order: blue to purple and eventually to red and then back again to blue (repeating the circle over and over again). Each color change, every power on and off, hits and swings, will be accompanied by characteristic humming sound effects. So, you may rest assured that your pretend play or dueling will be both spectacular and colorful.

This toy weapon is delivered in a beautiful sturdy original box, which could be used both for safe storage and transportation. The set of 3 AA batteries comes included in the kit. The power source is already installed into the hilt and therefore you do not have to spend any extra time or money to get your sword to work. All you need to do is to remove the battery tap and your Galaxy lightsaber is ready for the battle. Swirling, swinging, and wielding are guaranteed to be breathtaking, but beware that the product is not made to last through the heavy battles. It may not perform as intended if subject to heavy impact.

We believe you will enjoy playing with this novelty toy and hearing the authentic sound effects. Moreover, you will be absolutely impressed by the fidelity of sound coming through the tiny speaker located in the lower part of the hilt. The matter is, it was perfectly camouflaged to blend in with the rubber design and is practically not visible from the outside.

As we have already mentioned, this set is compatible and customizable with other Bladebuilders. You can collect a huge iconic role-play toy collection and create new and unique models of light weapons. Assemble your own unique weapon and blast off into intergalactic adventures!

The design of the sword blade differs from most other models and can be re-assembled in a great many ways. Multiple configurations will allow you to re-create your favorite battles and enthralling scenes of out-of-this-world clashes from Episode VII with amazingly accurate and realistic details! For true-to-action story-telling, the motion-detected light and movie-like sound effects will appear with only a flick of the wrist! You will be able to throw it forward and turn it on just like Jedi knights did in the epic saga! At the same time, the sound effects of turning on and off will add realism to your battles.

If you are big on not making your kids wait and not delaying their excitement, make sure this electronic toy weapon will actually have the power to work as soon as it is opened. Go ahead and add some batteries to your purchase, as sooner or later they will be needed. The lightsaber and two light daggers require 3 AAA batteries each. Fortunately, 6 demo batteries out of total 9 batteries required are already provided in the kit, tightly secured to the packaging. The only customers’ complaint has been that the items take up quite a lot of battery power which makes the batteries quickly run out of charge. Hence, for more optimal use of your toy weapon, we would recommend purchasing a set of rechargeable AAA batteries with a charger.
