What's the story on HASBRO's Signature Series Luke Skywalker ANH lightsaber?

[121Gigabytes]

I am interested in purchasing one of these with the removable blade. What's the story on this thing? What is the general consensus on the accuracy and quality of this lightsaber? I can't find any of them for sale online that is low priced compared with the others. Why is this particular version so expensive, is it rare?

Maybe it's because of the Signature.

Just a thought
They have to make some money in some way.

I have no clue ... the Hasbro ANH Vader with removable blade is also quite expensive nowadays :wacko

I have the Anakin "removable blade" saber. I've never held a real Graflex *sad face* so I can't tell you the accuracy.

What is the "Signature Series"? What's the difference?

I took some comparison shots for you.

I own a real Graflex (top) and a Hasbro force fx removable blade Luke ANH (bottom).

The Hasbro is a little bit wider and longer than the real thing. The grips are softer than hardplastic and thicker.
The glass eye is bigger and not clear glass.
The D-ring isn't propeely aligned and has not the right dimensions.

See for your self.

I did this a few years ago:

I remember something about these Hasbro sabers were originally Master Replicas before Hasbro acquired the Star Wars license? So, Master Replicas/Hasbro made these Force FX versions slightly bigger to accommodate the electronics?

WhillB : I think the "Signature Series" denotes the Removable Blade feature....?

Nice comparison shots Luke, thanks for posting.

The glass eye in the hasbro is actually attached to the inner guts or something. There is a cut-out in the outer shell the same size as the Anakin saber's brass button, I believe they use the same graflex shell for both, or they used to.
