Great review! Always appreciate the comparisons! I’m still happy with my v2’s, as it spends the majority of the time as a display piece, I don’t mind the size, it makes them more visible from a distance. More accurate is always ideal, but it’s at least good value deal!
Every time I've seen a review on a Hasbro Black Series saber, there is usually a ring that has to go over the blade to secure it. It's more work than it needs to be, but I guess the blade is secure. The ring can scratch up the blade over time. Though some sabers do come with a neat kyber crystal blade plug. Those blades for the Legacy and Savi's are nice: just twist and lock. If you have a Savi saber then you don't need to buy a blade since it'll work with any Legacy saber.
The way to attach the blade is actually kinda similar to how u would attach a katana blade to the handle. I find that really cool since this saber is looking like a katana.
The difference is that you're not meant to remove and attach a katana blade regularly. The design itself if sturdy and very katna-like. But the usability as a toy, ot so much.
I have to give the slight edge to the Disney one. Easier to put the blades and even tho it’s a bit larger, the fact that for $40 more you get the shoto I feel it’s a no-brainer. Hasbro does kill it with how the blade ignites tho. Great comparison!!!
I probably won't review the Kylo saber, as I'm not a huge fan of that hilt. But I have collected everyone else's reviews for each saber (including comparisons to other brands of the same hilt) over here. Enjoy! sabers.fanporium.com/pd/hasbro/force-fx-elite/kylo-ren-supreme-leader
Great review! That blade system is AWFUL! Was looking forward to mine arriving but can already see the rage blackout coming when I go to connect the blade mid-review 😂
I dont understand UA-cam honestly. I type in; "Black Series Force Fx Ahsoka" then I filter to uploaded this week. And your video doesn't appear. But when I turn off the recently uploaded filter, scroll down half a page of old videos, your video is there amongst them.
@@Ding-2014 Probably because I don’t have “black series” as a keyword and the date limit likely makes it get more selective on a full match. I’ll add that in later today and see if it makes a difference.
I don't understand getting only one Ashoka saber when it suppose to be a set. Also that finish doesn't do it for me. It looks like a Matte paint in the video. Great review though!!!
@@robertcruz5507 Teah, they did the same with her Clone Wars hilt. I’m disappointed but not surprised. At least with this one you can kinda justify it by saying it’s Ahsoka after her shoto was destroyed. But I doubt they knew that was coming when they made this.
You have to line the blade up to the groove and then make sure it's pushed all the way in, so that the hole in the blade connector lines up with the hole in the metal.Try wiggling it around a bit so the screw goes through without the hilt, then try it with the hilt.
@Fanporium so I tried sticking it through the blade by itself and it wouldn't fit. So I had to use a drill bit to make the hole bigger and now it's fine. Thanks for the advice though. Must have been a defect
Omg! Omg! This is a must for me! The chunky hilt from disney is very noticeable. I appreciate the comparison.
Thanks for the build guide :)

Only reason I bought the Disney Parks version is because the second lightsaber was included 😂
The elf version is very nice and imo worth the extra price.

Does anybody know where to buy a new barrel plug screw for this? Any help would be appreciated
Sweet video! I Would love to see black series Kylo ren review!

@@order66collectibles It’s really a shame, too. Because other than that and the price, it’s a really nice saber.

Dont need batteries?
@@diogodoutor1 It has a built-in lithium ion battery, which you can charge with the included USB cable.
My screw doesn't go all the way through the blade 🙃

@@apvalles34 very strange.
This is too expensive for no shoto blade
I hate it so much. I'll take legacy over black series any day
The Legacy is so much bulkier. It looks so much worse than Black Series.
