If the blade feels a little heavier than the hilt it's most likely the first release. It's similar to how the Maul feels with the heavier blade, but I know you don't have that saber. Most of the second releases have the lighter gold color decor as well, it was the later batches that had the darker coloring. I don't quite remember if the metal version is heavier than the Vader or not. I think they were just about the same.

So I think i got the first release even though i received it on July2005! Anyway, nothing can be done now. And it the saber hasn't failed me. Aayla, is the metal anakin's gold plating prone to fading as well? Is it the same? or is it ... tougher?

Yeah my Anakin ROTS is a metal one I don't know when I got it but it's heavier than the Darth Vader ESB. It's survived so intense dueling and I don't know anyone out here who owns a FX so I use my Luxeon FX's for dueling. Anyways yeah either way I think the saber is great rather plastic or metal.

The gold plating on the second release is the same as that on the first release... along with the copper. It can fade just as easily. Now, the final runs of the Anakin ROTS had a darker gold plating to more closely resemble the actual filming prop.

A third variant on the Ani now Aayla?  My first response would be it is surprising, but then again given just how many of these there are out there, I suppose it is understandable.

c'mon guys, simply put the sabre on a food-balance (it's correct?) and see if it weight 900 grams or less (with batteries), if it weight less than 600 grams it's the "plastic" version

Nice one GIOFX...

Anyway, I kinda flicked the 'bunny ears' with me fingers and it gave a clinking sound.
