cheers guys
to answer a few questions
the hand is a wooden mannequin articulated hand and the fingers are rather stiff so you can position them where you like and they will hold the pose, the wrist is also on a pivot and can be moved and rotated as you want, its more of a balancing act but it does hold the saber supprisingly well, you simply release the grip to remove the saber
the base has a single cell rechargable battery,
also got to mention with the full length bullet tip blades in it is a sight to behold 8) very cool
