Got ours here.
The strong points, sounds system is good, multiple effects are outstanding. The saber blade is smaller but seems to be stronger than past blades. The surfacing is nicer, will hold up to long term handling. Uses the three AAA batteries again.
The weak points: The hilt blade is small but not nearly as small as made out to be for accuracy in sizing. Still oversized like the Anikan was to the real saber. The presale picture looked like the green LED would light up, but it does not.
The blade is too small in relation to the oversized hilt, mixed feelings on that one.

Looks like it will take a beating, will not that great in dueling because of the short blade size. The sizing of the hilt while small compared to to other hilts is still toyishly larger than the replica making this a bit f a disapointment. Still, the battery system is good, the sound system is excellent, I give this one a C overall.

You guys have no idea just how hard it was to do this video today.
the forces of nature where against me..

First I had to go up to my managements office 3 different time,as there where not there,showing apartments or something..


The I finally get the Yoda and I was out of mini dv tapes.
So once I get the tapes and start recording,but my cam keeps stopping and eating my tape ..

Then I finally get all the footage and my cam wont play any more,all it will do it eat tapes..
So I let the can rest for about 30 min and try it again.
First it ate the tape again,but then it started playin back..

So I run to my pc to capture the video and right b4 the video ends the battery goes dead and I have to capture it again..
Well It took me 4 trys to capture it,my Pc blue screened 3 times..

Then finally I got all the footage in my pc and go to arrange the time line and it keeps freezing up..
Well 3 blue screens and 6 pc spontaneous reboots I finally got it..
I have to latterly save every step it was crashing so much..

I don`y know how I'm going to film my combat trials video,my Dv cam is on its last leg..
I might have to hurry up and sell my Yoda b4 MR gets um in stock to finance a new Mini Dv cam
I can live without a Dv cam..

What a frigen day..

Here is my review..

When my Yoda Fx came I was surprised that the box was full size,that was my first impression.
They just added more foam to the ends..(same wall stand too)
As I opened I liked the new box design,and the Adverts for the other 2007 Force Fx inside the box lineing..

When I finally open it up and held it ,I was surprised how good it felt in my hand for such a small size..
I originally was little yet down when MR announced the Yoda last year.( I wanted a Oui-Gon)
I am all about the martial arts aspect of lightsaber and saber spins,and I though it would be useless for spins.

But I was wrong,once you get use to it it spins just fine..
It`s a nice change up,I plan to get another Yoda for duel saber spins,no more scraping the room in my apt hehe..


Well the hilt feels Really sold and the craftsmanship it superb,looks like a LE hilt to me..
The blade is skinner then all the other Force Fx but they still somehow managed to cram all 64 leds into it..
Its takes 3 AAA batterys just like the Darth Maul
Speaking of the green LEDS,the are SUPER bright,this is the brightest saber MR has produced,and it don`t stop there,its also the LOUDEST..
The blade also seems SUPER strong ,even though its skinney,it really can take a beating.
The blade is SOLID green,not a dark spot in sight,and at a litle over 2 feet the Yoda makes for a great shoto saber.

It rocks the same Jedi sounds as the other MR Jedi FFx,but it sounds a little different to me,as you will see when you watch my video review compared to the Anakin and Luke Fx..

Don`t think this saber is just for your young lings because of its size,it is a fully functional Force Fx lightsaber we all will enjoy..

I'm thinking the same thing. She loves to duel around the house with my ESB Vader FX so I'm thinking this would be easier for her to handle.

If you're playing around dueling, it would make a cool second weapon (shoto/wakizashi type thing). You can go all intergalactic Musashi.

I did a Cub Scout overnight this weekend with like 100 kids. We had a Yoda and gave it to the kids. I "dueled" like 25 of them in a row with my OWK ROTS FX. That little thing is pretty strong.

I saw one of these in Spencer's Gifts today ($99.99). In spite of it's dimunitive size vs. the regualr FX sabres, and immense size vs the actual Yoda sabre, I like it. If I was persuaded to purchase an FX sabre, this may be it.
