i would like to remove the blade from this scratch&dent children's all-plastic saber from the thrift store; see attached photo. the model # is V3625B Hasbro (and i'd love to post a photo, but the site will not allow, frowns)
https://ibb.co/0YPddSz [nofollow]toy currently available on amazon, item # B07TDH8NFW
title: Star Wars Lightsaber Light Up Extendable
almost top dead center on the back of the band, you can see the little grey bit that sticks into the handle, near the screw hole, right at the top of the black band.
the handle has the battery door & screw; easily removed.
the handle also has two screws that connect the two halves together; also easily removed. the two halves are easily separated, just seem to be held together by the blade collar.
it seems that the end part, the grey 'blade holder' that says star wars slides down over the two handle halves and clips in somehow. i would like to remove this collar so i can get the two halves apart, without destroying the collar or the toy.
i hope to replace the blade with a glow-in-the-dark paracord whip.
has anyone taken this toy apart?
