I was 4 or 5 years old when the He-Man toys came out and I had that toy sword where half was silver and the other was yellow or purple. Because I had gotten this for my birthday, my friend's mom got him the same set so we could play He-Man. We promptly started wailing on each other and someone ended up getting whacked in the head and I had to go home.
Yep, it's not a decent toy weapon if you can't whack somebody over the head with it!
The little sword half that came with the Skeletor toy figure was purple, like the rest of his weapons. But the Skeletor half was glow-in-the-dark yellow in the big weapon playset. That's why your memory is conflicting on the color.

Hola my friends,
My kids and I were talking and I realized how much fun this would be for us here on THE RPF! So, let’s hear it and post up a photo, let’s see your replica, tell us all the details!
What’s your ALL TIME FAVEORITE movie or tv weapon?
I’ll go first: Luke’s lightsaber. The green one especially. As a kid we had NO money so I made them out of sticks, painted the hilt bright green with spray paint, painted the hilt SILVER, and played outside pretending to be Luke for YEARS!!!!
Luke’s Lightsaber is such a GIANT part of my childhood! I don’t know why I don’t own a replica!!!! Hahahaha!
Can’t wait to see and hear your answers!
Blessings,
~Pastor Chuck
I can't possibly pick just one! It's the one in whichever of my favourite films/TV shows I'm watching.
Having said that... the top 5 (currently) would probably be:
Blade Runner: Deckard's PKD blaster
Return of the Jedi: Luke's light saber
The Princess Bride: Inigo Montoya's sword
Dred (2012): Judges' Lawgiver
Alita: Battle Angel (live action movie): Alita's 'damascus' blade (or (arguably) Alita herself, in her berserker body!
But then there's the pulse rifle... And Conan's Atlantean sword... And Han's DL44... And the Holy Hand Genade of Antioch... And Major's thermoptic pistol... And Robocop's Auto 9... And the TOS phasers....
Don't make me choose!
I also should mention how much I love the Plasma Rifle from Aliens. It's just such a fun BEAST of a weapon!
The Classic Star Trek Phaser II
A timeless prop that, almost 60 years on, represents the gold standard for science fiction weapon design.
