hey guys and welcome to another unboxing today we're going to be unboxing
something that i've waited a long time for this is the force fx new
darth revan darth revan lightsaber now if you aren't aware master replicas
is a company that used to be in business back when george
lucas owned star wars they made amazing force effects lightsabers prop
replicas and helmets even masks darth vader clone
troopers stormtroopers everything now since then since they're out of
business we have hasbro taking the helm and making these force fx lightsabers
now this is the first time i actually see a box that is not a regular box
rectangular style this is more i don't know it's more a little more
edgy you know what i mean
already touching this i can see that it's a little more high quality than the
typical hasbro force fx lightsabers i've got a mace windu one in the corner over
there that could show you guys but i'm sure many of you seen it already
this one seems like it has some actual metal pieces which is
pretty cool it definitely feels a lot different i mean i don't have to go over
the fact that this is an old republic lightsaber so this is
tens of thousands of years older than the ones that we're used to
or most fans would be used to from the prequels and originals and sequels the
old republic was a time of well the old republic it was more of
a game of thronesy gladiator type feel of star wars which in my opinion is
probably the coolest era of star wars that there is
so right here we've got these prongs now obviously you know they look pretty
deadly as is and cool and different but what you can do with them is you can
open them up like this and you'll actually be able to open this
piece up so you can put the dowel in because right now it's just for show
for display like i mean if you want to display this you could just do this
right you have to put that in there and boom
done this is now displayed very nicely so let's go ahead and open this bad boy
up get the blade in there actually first get the crystal in there
and see the magic
all right so i turned the lights off so that we can now see
if there's going to be any sort of light coming out of the crystal or anything
like that i haven't put the blade in and we're gonna check that out in a
minute but uh first i wanna see if we get any sort of light or anything
like that from the crystal itself so let's let's try it there's two
buttons one of them i think is just for blasters
or like blaster effects and the other one is for uh
ignition
cool man okay so the crystal right now or if you can see
is actually purple
and then maybe if i hit it again it'll turn off i don't i'm not yeah so it
turned off you probably can't see this but this is
actually still glowing that's pretty cool so the crystal once
you charge it once you power it up and take it out it's still glowing red
which is really cool man
that's a really nice detail i like that all right so that's pretty cool you
can't actually have the crystal in there and the uh
and the blade at the same time so let's put the blade in
and this is where the real phone begins
okay it's in okay let's turn off the lights
and let's check it out okay ready
okay oh
those sounds are really different
that's pretty cool i like that
so the why is it flickering
oh okay okay
okay so this is so this is actually pretty cool um
i was a little bit underwhelmed with how faint the purple was
it wasn't like it shows up pretty good on screen there but
it doesn't really actually it's not really super bright
and that's one thing i had a problem with but once i heard the sounds and the
the clash was that's it's quite bright
i guess it's for blasters and stuff
okay so that's the red button all right if we take it again it's probably going
to turn off
oh that's beautiful okay so forcefx lightsabers didn't have this
before where it was so sequential like that where it's like
legit feels like a lightsaber like well maybe they were actually faster
actually i'm gonna get my other one and compare
okay so here we have just a few of my lightsabers in my collection
uh i think of about like seven or eight and then there's one coming on the way
from vader's vault which i'm really excited for
um we're going to check the first we're going to compare the two hasbro ones all
right well this review is now in the dark but
honestly you'll get a better better feel for it
so here's my mace windu this is much louder
there's no sort of like uh clashing lights or anything like that when you do
this
i'm going to show you guys how the lights sequentially
move up like a lightsaber would
okay now i'm going to show you the difference between this which is the
revan one
okay so now let's try the green button and the green button is basically just
when you're getting shot at with blaster bolts
and you're trying to you can see my face
i'm gonna turn it off
oh look at that
so i guess this is if you're clashing with a lightsaber
so here we go anakin's from revenge of the sith
master replicas
blaster effects
and then if you hold the green button down it's uh it's basically like you're
slicing through something or you're clashing with another lightsaber so
all right so now if you want to turn to the dark side completely which is what
revan does he goes back and forth between the light and dark you gotta
hold down these buttons the the green and the red
that's really cool that's really cool man
this is okay this is worth it this thing is cool
if i want to go back to the light side
then
what the heck was that freaking green
did you guys see that
what in the world
it's like if it's you can like turn it and if it's not locked in properly then
what
i mean unless it's rgb there's no reason that that green should have popped up
unless maybe it's a malfunction or something but i mean
like what what are they trying to tell us
you shot the green again like
oh that's so cool
what i feel like it malfunctions sometimes or like maybe it's not in
prop i mean no it's in like there's no there's nothing else i could do really
but
it's kind of finicky maybe i'm not doing something right i don't know or maybe i
have a faulty one i'm not sure i love this i think this is so cool
hilt is super hard to actually really battle or duel with because it's just
kind of it's so clunky and especially with these
they have to be a lot thicker than they would normally be if you know the
actual the actual if actually revan was writing with this
um because of the electronics that they have to
house inside why did i just shut off i didn't turn it
off and now it's gonna do this weird thing
like
super strange
oh now if we want to compare them to let's say master replicas
so i got a revenge of the sith anakin skywalker lightsaber this was
i think came out in 2004 2005. um so let's give it a whirl
much louder and i swapped the batteries with both because i wanted to see if
maybe just the batteries much louder um overall build quality
i would have to say both are great i got to give it to the master rep
because now if we want to get into the nitty gritties of master replicas versus
hasbro elite series force effects we can do
that in a different video but this one is a really awesome collection
it's a really awesome piece to add to your collection
i mean and i definitely recommend it my gripes are that it's not loud enough
it's not bright enough at least when it's purple and it's not
just the color because the mace windu one is more bright
it's actually a different shade of purple almost maybe that's why
this is actually more true deep purple you probably can't see on camera
i'm gonna turn off the light so you can see this is
if you guys want to see more on this lightsaber and myself comparing it to
hasbro and other forcefx lightsabers please let me know down below in the
description i also have the disney parks lightsabers i've got
two of them i've got ben solos and not kylo ren's but ben solos
as well as ahsokas so both of hisokas i can go over in detail in how this
stacks up and ranks up with those as i've actually done a couple tests
myself off camera actually well on camera i
guess but not really properly and there is quite a difference there's
a lot to be said with basically the build quality between both
companies or i guess i guess three companies uh even though
this one is still considered disney but it is made by
hasbro the other ones i don't know which i don't know what the disney parks ones
are made of but made for made from so overall the build quality is pretty
nice it's there's still some parts that feel
a little bit clunky a little bit plastic of course but i mean there's only so
much you can do when you're housing a ton of electronics in there
the fact that you can change the blade color is really nice it's a very nice
feature how it's the lights sequentially light
up and power down i think they did a really good job on
that it's very smooth it's the most smooth i've seen
in any of my force effects or hasbro lightsabers or the disney parks ones um
as for the clash sounds i think that's a really cool feature to have an extra
button for that uh because there's so many different
buttons on lightsabers they could they could just
implement those on all the different hilts
as for the crystal that lights up i think that's a really neat feature i
love that they do little things like that
and it's a really nice stand that comes with it
as well which i think is gonna look great
somewhere behind me that has been my review on the darth
revan forcefx elite series lightsaber hope you enjoyed it
let me know what you think and i'll see you guys in the next video may the force
be with you
