SOLD

I'm SOOOO getting this. Would have preferred a re-tooled Luke ROTJ or Ahsoka, but I think this hilt just plain looks cooler than Qui-Gon. I mean, I've been hoping for a QGJ saber for years, but this one coming out of left field I will absolutely take instead. I really hope this one sells, because I think Hasbro deserves to see what may be considered a somewhat risky move (secondary-at-best character/high price point) paying off with support from hard-to-please fans. I mean, c'mon- Hasbro is making a $100 Kit Fisto lightsaber. Think about that for a second.

I didn't expect a kit fisto saber.  Did anyone notice how nicely lit up that ultimate hasbro fx saber was (for the 35.00 plastic toy version that is).


Time will bring the real end of our trial.  One day they'll be no remnants

Yeah like all clan designs it can be repackaged for the several different characters who used it with different coloured blades...but the Luminara/Plo Koon clan saber [also used by Mace] has the same merit and they already have the Maul tooling for half of it so this instead of that surprises me.

My honest opinion...if we're going by whats popular...get ready for a TFU II Fx

i would buy that in a sec. but i dont know if they would be allowed to make that cause the game makers might have the rights to that design.

I dont think that's how it works. Im pretty Lucas and LFL opted to retain rights to most designs.

Exactly my thoughts, so hope and prey : )

For those who would like to know, this is also Eeth Koth's lightsaber.

and Aayala Secura has a blue lightsaber? Unless they changed it in the cartoon...

She always had a blue lightsaber.

The game was made by LucasArts, which belongs to Lucasfilm. Besides, even if it was made by anyone else, Lucasfilm always takes the designs as their property.

Yes you are right it was actually Eeth Koth's lightsaber of this model that Mace Windu was carrying in TPM...they had exchanged sabers in a Concordance Of Fealty.

I'm not talking about canon story.

Mace Windu was carrying Plo Koon's lightsaber model on TPM, and Kit Fisto's lightsaber model is the same as Eeth Koth.

Therefore, if you buy this saber, you're also buying Eeth Koth's.

I'll get one for sure. Right after Tridcloudwalker did his Ki-Adi I was begging him to do a Kit Fisto. For me it's much like a Qui-Gon - not too much going on, but so elegant and simple.

This is a welcome news!

I thought I read somewhere that Hasbro FX ain't on the shelves no more. Which thread, I can't remember and this kinda make me panic for a while considering that I haven't get me the entire FX line, yet!

I look forward to this new Kit Fisto FX. Definitely getting!

I realize ti was blue. i was just questioning what they said, about how her and Ashoka and Luminara were begger characters with green lightsabers. Didn't mean to question that Aayla's was blue. Sorry, hard to convey tone via text.

Looks pretty good!
Certainly wasn't expecting this saber, but may just have to pick it up. 8)

I was not referring to the color of the blade in my post.  I was referring to the decision that they chose to make Kit's saber vs. Aayala's, Luminara's or, especially, Ahsoka's.  They already have a green blade, the Luke ROTJ, so blade color isn't really the issue IMO.  I am just surprised that with Ahsoka's huge fan base that they wouldn't release her saber long before the Kit Fisto saber ???.
