I'm just going to say, the toy Anakin lightsaber has the design from Revenge of the Sith. The legacy Skywalker saber is the design used in Empire strikes back. So, it's more than just a detail difference. Just saying. Still a good video though.

@Fanporium Год назад

Thus the never-ending question: was the name correct and the details incorrect? Or the reverse? Either way, it's still an awesome saber. But yes, definitely a miscommunication between Design and Marketing, either way.

The Rey saber design is anakin from revenge of the sith

@MrRimant Год назад

Okay. So lights and sounds are great. But the question that any real star wars fanboy should be asking is how well do these disney sabers stand up to combat? Seriously, I enjoy lights and sound effects but if they cannot stand up to at least some level of combat then what would really be the point?

@Fanporium Год назад

Well, they are toys, so they're clearly not something you wan to bring to a Saber Legion match. Not to mention 2" blades would have you at a serious disadvantage. And you never want to use an LED-in-blade saber for heavy combat anyway (with the possible exception of Bendu, as they're warrantied). But for kid-on-kid sparring or adults just lightly playing around, they should stand up pretty well.

@MrRimant Год назад

@@Fanporium fair enough. Thanks for the reply.

@redstonecommander5190 Год назад

I wonder if you can swap the blades with one another for added customization?

@Fanporium Год назад

That's answered at the 13:25 mark. Each hilt has a different shaped post, which prevents you from using the blade from one saber in another hilt. The exceptions are the 2022 hilts (Obi Wan, Ahsoka, and Chandrilla Starliner) which all use the same post. I plan to do a video taking a Dremel to the post to see if that makes it interchangeable. But it'll likely be a few weeks before that one goes up.

@Fanporium Год назад

You can't remove the black connector piece from the blade, so you can't switch it that way. In theory, you could use a Dremel to remove the post from inside the hilt, which would allow you to use any of the blades on the hilt. I do plan to make a video testing if that works, but I have to figure out where my Dremel is packed, so not sure when I'll be able to get to that. (Order 66 Collectibles has a similar video planned, but also not sure when he'll get his filmed.) And unfortunately, I have no idea when they'll restock the Anakin saber. You can buy the non-removable-blade version inside the parks, and the removable-blade version on Shop Disney UK. But no idea when US will restock. My theory is that when they do it'll be with updated packaging changing the name from Rey to Anakin, now that they have the yellow Rey one. But that's just a guess, and doesn't impact the timeline.

Hear me out… the forge are lightsaber lego. They are so cheap that you don’t have to feel bad about modifying or painting it. If you’re trying to make your own saber, and don’t really want to copy a character, then the forge are actually better than the Dstore sabers. The Dstore are second to none for Larp and are very cost friendly, but they aren’t compatible with each other, let alone the forge. I’ve even come up with a new electronic kit for the forge that runs off an arduino nano, a 28mm high quality speaker, an accelerometer, and a retractable full light blade(it uses small LED and flexible wire). So long story short: for LARP/cosplay/ playing with your kids: get the Dstore sabers. If you want to experiment with custom lightsabers and don’t want to spend $400 for a proffie/neopixel setup for each saber the the forge is worth it. By my math, you can have more than a dozen different lightsabers with the upgraded electronics for $500, or the price of one adult “proffie/neopixel” saber. So for the saber enthusiast who has $500 to spend you have 3 choices: all of the Dstore sabers, a dozen lightsaber forge and a decent “lightsaber lego” kit, or one adult saber.

That's a very fair point.

@slayyde_3335 Год назад

get a xenopixel or neopixel. Its the best

@Fanporium Год назад

Depends on what you want it for. If you're buying for a kid, neopixel is overkill. For spinning/combat, RGB is a much better option to avoid blade damage. For cosplay, the lower weight of these toy ones can be a great option for wearing around a con all day. As always, it depends on what you want from the saber.

I don’t think “packaging is a pain to open” is a valid complaint about anything anywhere. And the idea of worrying about the environment while purchasing a plastic and led product produced by a billion dollar company is a bit tone deaf as well

@ZukoRenken Месяц назад

Are they duel sturdy?

@Fanporium Месяц назад

Depends on your definition. For kids play dueling? Absolutely. For teens or adults going full force? No. They’re far more durable than the old-fashioned telescoping blade sabers. But they do have the LESs inside the blade, so extreme force can still damage the LEDs.

@ZukoRenken Месяц назад

Thank you sir. I'll probably get a cheap adult replica

Plastic is not the problem, it's people that are the real issue when they get either too lazy or incompetent about disposal. Responsible people shouldn't be invonvienced just because some dam fool can't tell the difference between garbage or recycling.

They do make a green Luke one.But it's only available in the parks, not the Show Disney website. I'll be reviewing it next week.

....Im I only one who actually have lightsaber nunchukus instead?

@Fanporium Год назад

I see two problems with lightsaber nunchucks. 1) In-world, you'd slice your hands off. 2) In the real world, I would 100% smack myself in the face repeatedly while trying to learn them. And my face has taken enough damage over the decades! 🙂

@michalviktorin6758 Год назад

@@Fanporium Im naturally good in using knife, swords and other weapons, so I did learn in no time, but it was not without pain for sure. I have them for a night, when it looks super cool doing fast tricks with them, but they are not made to hit anything with proper force. I wanted glowing nunchucks and then I found lightsaber chucks, so that is how I got those.

The best toy lightsabers are from the early 2000s

@Fanporium Год назад

In a sense, the best lightsabers are always the ones from our youth. I still have a soft spot for the ones from the 80s that made whooshing noises when you swing them. But comparing the electronics and sound, it's no contest which are the best currently on the market.

@purplejoeler Год назад

@@Fanporium fair enough. but for no electronics, those sturdy collapsible sabers could last through almost anything.

@Darksoals912 Год назад

The build your own lightsaber in Disney is cool but you will most likely see kids with multicolored blades and mismatched hilts.

@Astro_o646 Год назад

Not good for dueling

@Fanporium Год назад

Not for adult dueling, certainly. But perfect for kids dueling.

They do have a green Luke saber in this line, but it's only available in the Disney parks and does not have a removable blade. My review of that one is here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-veW3b3fThGs.html
