Star Wars Force FX Lightsaber Darth Maul Officially licensed Darth Maul FX lightsaber.
Customer Review: Get two of these!
Although the description doesn’t mention it, this lightsaber comes with an adapter to attach two of these together. I researched this toy before buying it and found this out. I am also an owner of the Master Replica’s Anakin Skywalker ForceFX Lightsaber. I missed out on the opportunity earlier to get the Darth Maul one until now. Hasbro bought them out so they are available again under the Hasbro brand but now you have to buy two to get the double-bladed lightsaber.
The great thing about this toy is with two of them, you can battle with a friend (two swords), or if you have a third lightsaber like I do, then you can do sword verses bo staff. These are not meant for heavy duty battling, so be careful not to break them. They can take a small beating though. The handle is well made and doesn’t feel cheap. The knobs on the handle don’t interfere with spinning it around or holding it. To turn it on, you need to twist one of the knobs, not slide or press it. The blade makes only one sound when clashing whereas my Anakin blade makes several. It still has power-up, power-down and swing noises too, and the light shoots out from the handle when powering up and goes back in when powering down (looks perfect in the dark). When the two blades are attached together, it is quite long at about 7 ft. 4 in. so don’t expect a child to be able to spin it around unless they are pretty tall. The adapter is threaded and the two blades screw onto it. When they are removed from the adapter, the battery will fall out unless you put the end caps on the single blades. You can use the adapter as one of the endcaps if you want. The blades are very vibrant in color and look spectacular – better than my blue Anakin blade in my opinion.
Bottom line, if you are on the fence about this, go for two of them!
