Customer Review: Weild the power of the Dark side...
Summary: 5 Stars
These lightsabers are of much higher quality than the ugly, fat, short, cheap, flimsy, and unusable versions I have seen. I admired my lightsaber for its strength, sleekness, and simple dignity and functionality. Its appearance suggested it to be a tool of speed and precision. Unfortunately, several design flaws were quick to point themselves out. First, the on/off switch that activates the device is a sensitive push-button in the middle that is too easy to toggle on and off when one is spinning the lightsaber defensively. Also, while the flashes that are produced whenever one of the blades strikes an object is impressive, I prefer the constant glow that indicates where the blade is in the dark, which is where the lightsaber must be used to observe the full effect of the flashes. This glow is absent in this model of lightsaber. These problems are easily remedied by removing the batteries and using the lightsaber as usual. I no longer have my intact lightsaber, because life imitated art and it broke in half. I recognized however, that I could use it now as two single-bladed lightsabers and just buy another, as I am eagerly waiting to do. I recommend this toy to any Star Wars fan or quarterstaff and broadsword enthusiast looking for a cool toy.Customer Review: Darth Maul wannabes, get this toy!
Summary: 5 Stars
My brother and I love sword fighting each other, but we usually fight with sticks that break after 10 seconds, give or take. So I bought this double-bladed light saber and my brother bought the Qui-Gon Jinn light saber and we've been having a blast! The plastic on this toy is unbelievably durable, so you can hit the other light saber as hard as you want and it'll last. There is one fixable flaw, however. This has been stated many times, but I have a solution. The on/off button that controls the strobe lights and sound is right in the middle of the handle and can easily be pushed off when fighting. To fix this, I simply looped a string twice around the underside of the on/off and reset buttons and taped down the excess string. It takes more force to push down the button this way, but when your fighting there won't be enough force on the button(s) to push them off. I gave this toy an educational rating of 2 stars because it is educational in the art of sword fighting, but we don't exactly use this knowledge in everyday life, unless of course you are a jedi ;-).Customer Review: Electronic Darth Maul Double-Bladed Lightsaber

This is it, Darth Maul's lightsaber. A great lightsaber. Like all the Episode I lightsabers, it is very durable. Another nice thing is the stobe light that flash on contact like in the movies. The downside to this is that it doesn't light up, just when it is hit. It has a cool energy hum sound and a cool noise for when it is hit. One thing that is very annoying is that that the button that turns it on is very easy to turn so when it is being used in the heat of battle, it is very easy to turn it off. One thing that would have made this lightsaber better is if it was longer. In The Phantom Menace, Darth Maul's lightsaber is as long as Obi Wan's and Qui Gon's put together, not so with the toy. But this toy is definitely worth gatting. I love it so much that it is always in my hand and I am consatnly playing with it. ... whoever doesn't get will surely feel sorry for not doing so.Customer Review: Double Bladed Lightsaber = Double Bladed Fun

The Star Wars Episode I Darth Maul Electronic double bladed lightsaber is a hit with my twelve year old and with us, his parents. This item was on his birthday wish list and I had no trouble saying "yes" as the price was fabulous--.... It was shipped right away.
What you first notice is the lightsaber's size--it's over five feet and has double red blades, each measuring about 21 inches. When you turn it on to start battling, there's a cool sound that signals you're ready to battle. Once you hit your target the light sabers flash and the lightsaber seems to growl.
This lightsaber is my son's first choice when he's battling with his friends. It uses two "C" batteries which seem to last a long time.
Thumbs up from the parents. Cool toy. Cool price.
Customer Review: What?
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought this toy would be great when I bought it, and it turned out to be a real dissapointment. Greatly built, the sound quality is very staticy. It 100% stinks for in the dark battles because the blades only light up when it makes contact with another object. My first toy lightsaber I ever bought was the Hasbro Luke Skywalker lightsaber and it was great! the sound system sounded real, and it lit up all the time. And when it made contact with another saber, you heard the familier chrash. When I bought this lightsaber, I thought it would be similer to that one. I'm not trying to dis Hasbro or anything ( I love the Hasbro toy company!), but this was definately not one of their better creations.
