Sabine Wren Force FX Elite Lightsaber - Review!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ค. 2024
- Join us for an unboxing and full review of the brand new Sabine Wren Force FX Elite Lightsaber from Hasbro.
We'll take a look at everything you get in the box, the design of the lightsaber and of course we'll check out the electronics and effects. We'll also do a comparison between this offering from Hasbro vs Disney's Ezra Bridger legacy lightsaber from Galaxy's Edge.
Costing £299 direct from Hasbro and costing £270 from other sellers, the big question really is whether this latest lightsaber from Hasbro is worth the money.
Based on Ezra Bridger's second Green Lightsaber seen in Star Wars Rebels which was inherited and modified by Sabine Wren as seen in the Ahsoka series on Disney+, let's see how good this lightsaber really is.

I feel relived knowing I cancelled my pre order for this. The Light saber is too thick!
Yeah you made a good call - better to save for a better version 👍
the problem is that there are neo lightsabers for around 150 who are just better with the sound and especialy the light.
Yep, for me the price on this saber is massively prohibitive when you consider it has very few benefits. At least with a legacy saber you get the quick release blade system but you don’t even get that here!
@@order66collectibles is there any Hasbro fx Elite saber you can recommend, or what ist the best one for you, If i only Want one for the collection
@@order66collectibles is there any good fx Elite Out there or all Not Worth the money
@@order66collectibles ok :( Any FX Elite from hasbro is any good or all no chance against a neo?
Subscribed and enjoying! Quite liked this one! Looks good!!
Thanks so much 😊 so glad you liked this one!
2:02 the legacy is thinner, the legacy like, known for being quite chunky at times, is thinner. This is the first time I’ve seen a saber that thick (some legacy’s are fine but ezras is quite big)
The Sabine force FX saber is thicker than any of the legacy ones I think. It’s absolutely nuts how wrong Hasbro got the dimensions
As cool as this looks, why are all of these force fx lightsabers so QUIET??
That's what i thought - and this one seems quieter than the others. It makes no sense when you look at the size of the power box/speaker
@@order66collectibles Right! The older generation of the force fx lightsabers were WAY louder. I like for this reason, the Ezra Bridger Legacy lightsaber (same lightsaber) over this one.
Surprise with the motion swing. So they did improve some of it
Yeah I was surprised by that - especially with how bad the motion swing is on the ahsoka, darksaber and leia versions I have from Hasbro. Just a shame the speaker is so bad that you can hardly hear the improvement!
@@order66collectibles Speaker is still bad..? Typical Hasbro series 😞
Meh I know sabines lightsabers is chunky and the rubbers gross but im still geting it i loved rebels and the ahsoka series and it has awesome emitter shrouds and it is also green my favorite color your video did help me with finding out what i want four a gift four my birthday my parents should be getting this four me in less than a month in my opinion its better than getting rey skywalkers/palpatines yellow lightsaber i think i would barf seeing a mary sues lightsaber in my room thank you for your review keep it up. 👍👍😊😊😀
Thanks so much I’m glad you found this review enjoyable and helpful 😊 I love the Ezra/sabine saber design and I think that’s probably what lead to some of my disappointment in this video a bit. It looks good as a display piece in fairness so can’t complain there, just wish hasbro had taken some pointer’s from Disney’s legacy Ezra version. Really hope you like it when yours arrives 😊
Acutally, I think aside from some examples, the Disney sabers are not that big. I think people complain because they compare them to 3rd party lightsabers and while it's true that a slim hilt feels better in the hand, at least for me and many others, 3rd party lightsabers are not known for their accuracy, we can clearly see that canon lightsabers do have a little bit of thickness to them. Not all in the same way and this Hasbro one is definitley too thick, but if you look at, say, the Skywalker saber, that one has a bit of heft to it.
There are a TON of third-party sabers that are waaaaay more accurate AND better quality than what Hasbro or Disney are putting out. These "official" sabers are and should be seen as expensive toys because that's all they are. Collectible toys. If you want the good sh!t, go third party, every time.
I think there’s definitely a mix. Some of the Disney and hasbro sabers are too chunky but then others aren’t - look at the Skywalker Graflex from Disney and compare it to a neopixel graflex and they’re the same size pretty much!
@@DualSynchronicityX2 It heavily depends. There are quite a few 3rd party sabers that are very close to accuracy, wich is impressive, but up to this date I've never seen a 3rd party replica without noticing inaccuracies almost immediatley. To be fair, most of the time these are just minor details that can be ignored, however these minor details make them unsuitable for screen accurate cosplay. I checked the 501st customing guidelines (in case you don't know, the 501st is the biggest and most strict Star Wars cosplay group in the world) and they explicitly sate that the lightsaber used has to be a either a Master Replicas, Hasbro or a self-made lightsaber. 3rd party lightsabers are not even mentioned (neither are Disney lightsabers, so I guess they are deciding on a case by case basis).
Of course that doesn't mean Hasbro and Disney are any better. And when I say 3rd party lightsabers are not accurate this is not a complain at all.
They're not inaccurate because these companies can't do any better, no, they are inaccurate because these companies don't have a license and are therefor legally required to alter their designs, replicating a lightsaber design perfectly 1:1 would be stealing trademarked designs.
And there are multiple examples were lightsabers from Hasbro and Disney are not accurate as well. Some are too thick, the colors are not quite right, they lack Smooth Swing and 50 Watt LEDs...
In those cases I'm totally with you, if you have the money, buy the 3rd party one.
One example would be the Darksaber. The one from Hasbro is pretty neat, I myself have it on display, yet it clearly differs from the original design on multiple spots. I've seen a 3rd party lightsaber that, for my eyes, looks more accurate. Not perfectly screen accurate of course, but more accurate than the one from Hasbro.
I'm totally with what Order 66 Collectibles said. It's a mix. Sometimes Hasbro and Disney really make good use of their license and just nail it. Like with the ESB Skywalker Lightsaber from Disney. It's just perfect. Still, no Smooth Swing or Neopixel but for collecting and cosplay purposes it's all you need. And you're right, these sabers are toys, more or less, so they are meant to be cheaper than, say, a Neopixel.
BUT
Hasbro and Disney have also produced lightsabers that don't meet their own standards and are less accurate than a 3rd party lightsaber.
My personal opinion:
If you're looking for best quality, best sound and best blade, go with 3rd party (wich I do currently, can't wait for my Neopixel to arrive).
But if you don't care for these special features all to much and are mainyl looking for the most accurate hilt:
Buy whatever is closest to accuracy. Sometimes it's a Hasbro Force FX Lightsaber (like Kit Fisto's), sometimes it's a Disney Legacy Lightsaber (like the ESB Skywalker) and sometimes it's 3rd party (like the Darksaber (don't know the manufacturer)).
At the wnd of the day it's just about what you prefer, what features you are looking for and what price you are ready to pay.
@@order66collectibles Best example, that lightsaber from Disney looks gorgeous!
Although I've to say, some 3rd party variants of the Skywalker saber are really really really close, with just very minor differences. In that case I'd say, the Disney and the 3rd party one are equally impressive!
@@CraftMotion For ESB Luke, I'd go with Roman Props/WangaWanga kit for most accurate
The saber is okay but there are others that I prefer compared to this one
I do love the design - especially the original Ezra version. The distinct ignition and hum of Ezra's second green saber is awesome...unfortunately this hasbro version of sabine's modified saber doesn't quite do it justice.
Which saber would you prefer them to make?
@order66collectibles I don't know if they done this already but the Darkside Rey lightsaber would be cool.
I am hoping they start selling Ezra's third saber soon
Would you prefer Hasbro to make it or Disney (as a legacy saber)?
@@order66collectibles good question. I would have to say at this point Disney. I am really happy with my Kanan Legacy saber ( outside of the colour)
@@Kyle_Noronha there are some companies on aliexpress selling his 3rd saber already
For the price of these you could save up literally one, maybe two more paychecks to get an actual saber. Proffie and neopixel sabers are far better than these
Won’t get any arguments from me on this - the force FX Line doesn’t impress me and this was a really disappointing entry for me
Deffo not a fan of the rubber grip
It genuinely makes my skin crawl it just feels nasty lol
Absolute trash. Wast of money. And ashoka sucked. Sorry, nerds. Disney SW is woke garbage. Why are you still simping for them.
Not sure I was simping in this review? (equally if my understanding of simping is wrong don't be afraid to correct me) I was disappointed with this saber release and also personally disappointed with Ahsoka... doesn't mean I won't watch season 2 but still disappointed
I feel like i would honestly rather get the ezra legacy saber and just 3d model and print a shroud for the emitter. Weird how expensive these forcefx sabers are for how hit and miss they are on the quality
That’s exactly what my thought was. I’d rather have the Disney electronics and main body of the saber
And considering the Sabine force fx is double the price of the GE Ezra (slightly less if you need to buy a blade) it’s insane
@order66collectibles that's so rough cause I was honestly kinda looking forward to this one with the blade effects that forcefx has but oh God is this only ugly and that rubber grip means I would literally never touch it
