The Darth Vader FX lightsaber features a glowing, bright red blade with realistic power-up and power-down sounds digitally recorded from the movie. Motion sensors activate many different sounds. This lightsaber has a custom Darth Vader hilt and a polycarbonate blade. The FX Lightsaber series sabers include a collector's stand with elevated clear cradles. Lightsaber has an on/off switch and uses 3 'AA' batteries (not included) which provide several hours of operation. This is the ultimate lightsaber for collectors.
