Obi-Wan Kenobi MR FX saber review 2006
« on: August 10, 2006, 11:02:58 AM »
I awoke this morning to find that the tracking number MR gave me said that FedEx would be delivering my saber a day earlier than expected.  Excitement set in!
As I prepared lunch for myself and my Youngling son Daniel, a noise outside announced that the FedEx truck was here!  I literally ran to the door to meet the delivery woman, excitedly signed for the package and headed inside to open my bounty!! After making sure Daniel had lunch and wolfing down a quick bite myself, I opened the FX box.  It was like opening the secrets to the Ming Dynasty treasure!
The saber is indeed boxed in a very nice way with great Obi-Wan graphics and scripting. 
I gently removed tape and packing foam to reveal General Obi-Wan Kenobi's Lightsaber!  As I picked it up, I noticed that IMHO it is slightly lighter than my Anakin ROTS but in no way as heavy as the Mace FX.  The brightness of the hilts metals shone  before my eyes and I gazed at it's awesome beauty.  Hey...it's a piece of art- what can I say?
The battery compartment screamed out my name so I replied with 3 AA Duracell Ultras and the blade sprang forth to pierce my darkened living room with blue piercing light!  The blue blade does indeed seem brighter and is more of a purer blue.  I was a little disappointed that the saber sounds are basically the same as the Anakins...but hey you can't have everything!
The activation button slides upward on the activation box and seems difficult to shut off while dueling.  I hope that doesn't change.
The blade seems stronger and more secure than my Anakin and has no tightening screw that I know of.  I hope I never have to tighten the blade!
I wish I had more time to talk about this saber in my review, but my Youngling Daniel requires my attention.  He loves my saber just as much as I do.  This saber will become my personal sidekick at every convention and fundraiser that I attend as Founder of the online Jedi costuming organization, The Jedi Assembly. www.TheJediAssembly.com It truly is worth the money as a collectible and showpiece, as a prop and as a statement for the love of that Galaxy Far, Far Away!

I've been taking my Kenobi FX to work with me just about everyday now....I LOVE it!!
I want to buy one just to hang on the wall....

Anyway- Qui Kel JInn, a member of The Jedi Assembly, swings by on his way home during most of my lunch hours or breaks and we duel.  He owns the Maul DBL FX and boy is he good.


I need to take some time before DragonCon and get some footage of my Obi-Wan and add it to YouTube.

Qui Kel Jinn is what I like to call our SaberMaster.  Very proficient with the saber blade.  You can see his profile here: http://www.thejediassembly.com/members.php?id=4hg89
His powers get better everyday that he practices! lol

DragonCon is in Atlanta, GA from Sept 1-4 and is one of the biggest cons here in the South.
