The TPM Darth Maul force fx was the first in my collection. What first attracted me to this saber was its red color. Being a Sith I wanted a red blade for my first fx saber. The fact that it was two connectable lightsabers also intruiged me. After buying the TPM full saber I fell in love with it. It's blades, sound, and hilt are all great. The only thing I dont like about this saber is it is really heavy and its a workout to play with it, and I found it to be a bit wobbely when spinning it at high speeds. Over all I give it a 8 1/2 out of 10.
