I hope the removable blade makes a comeback, it was the best part of the old MR sabers.

Removable blade was early Hasbro.

What’s interesting about this are the details. The glass eye is back to normal, and the clamp is offset and not at a 90 degree angle. I can’t see the hardware, but that may be different too. This would keep with the tradition of having the prop’s details change for every film.

Any way you could scan that photo of Rey on the back of the box?

Looks like HASBRO is releasing their OWN Rey lightsaber, this one based on the filed down glass eye saber.

This one will probably be available in the big box stores, while the D23 saber will likely be a Disney stores exclusive.

I'm not a huge fan of the filed knurling on the TFA saber. I'd rather have the non-filed down version, which will probably be the same price as the Black Series saber.

Odd that it doesn't have the Kobold clip for the d-ring.

I'm far from a prop nerd, just a prop newb :lol , but always wanted a graflex with removable blade so I bought one and the price is not that bad. I actually prefer this than Black Series. Until I can afford a nice custom, this will do. I hope they do Kylo's saber too.

Good review. Thanks for that. Surprised at how much they deviated from what Hasbro did well with the 2010 Luke ANH. I'd a thought they'd just start cranking 'em out again but apparently not. There's a story there I bet...

Yeah, thinking I might skip this and just go buy a Romans. Sure, it's $50 more, but at least I'd get more bang for my buck I think.
