"Your lack of faith disturbs me...",

Finally! After years and years NEW fx lightsabers are back and i have to say they did not disappoint.
First of all if you already have a master replica or hasbro fx saber don't expect any changes in quality or durability. It still is made with great material and is as durable as the previous sabers.
(Note: most people think master replica sabers are better then the hasbro ones, but they're THE SAME THING! MADE BY THE SAME COMPANY! just different brand name X])
Anyway, there were only two things i really disliked about the saber.
1. it was a lot bulkier then i expected, the hilt was wielding with one hand by Count Dooku in the movie, but if you were to duel with this saber, unless you're fairly strong, don't wield this with one hand.
2. The stand that is made to hold the strange hilt design of the saber was made really dumb. Basically it cannot be flush with a table or else the bottom of the hilt cannot stand properly on the stand...Read more

At last, years after the Force FX line began, one of the most hoped-for models finally makes its appearance. The Count Dooku saber has probably the most distinctive design of any lightsaber, and despite its technically problematic design, Hasbro was able to create a near-perfect replica without sacrificing the hilt's uniquely bent shape. Like all of the sabers in the series, it's slightly larger than the props appearing in the films, but the difference is minor.
Lest anyone be misinformed, I want to comment on a few of the alleged problems mentioned in the one other (as of this writing) review of this product: first, it sits in its display stand perfectly well, without the back end hanging too low. Second, the suggestion that it does not make sound effects after being powered up is simply not the case. It makes the exact same set of sounds as the Vader model. The speaker doesn't have quite the same punch as on the Vader model, but it's far from inaudible. The beam is also...Read more

This review is from: Star Wars FX Lightsaber - COUNT DOOKU (Toy)
This was my second Force FX lightsaber, after the Luke Skywalker (Episode IV) model.
It feels like a quality product... the hilt is very heavy (double or more the weight of the Luke saber, which I thought was heavy until receiving this one), but feels very durable. The blade is quite stiff, compared to Luke's.
The sounds are a bit quieter than the Luke saber, and the blade isn't quite as bright. I'm not sure if these are faults with mine, specifically, or the model as a whole. The issue with brightness is also likely due to the difference in colour. In the dark, they're almost identical, but in (indoor) light, the Dooku saber is very pink/orange. Outside, both are invisible.
I'm pleased with it, and I'm glad I have it, but I'm glad it's not my only lightsaber. It won't be my last, either.
