Title: Dark Initiate LE – Blazing Orange Post by: KreepnSlayer on February 26, 2011, 11:33:39 PM This saber was purchased for my 5 year old son and he was very excited to have a lightsaber that he could actually beat on things with.
He has quite a few plastic, telescopic tube lightsabers and seems to enjoy them. I was a little worried that he might not enjoy this saber as much as the others because it doesn’t make any sound. My worries were completely unfounded as he hasn’t even picked those sabers up since I gave him his Dark Initiate. Even a 5 year old can feel the quality. The hilt is pretty short, around 9 inches, and is perfect for his little hands. When I hold it its basically impossible to fit both of my hands on it, but it does feel really nice as a one handed saber and is quite comfortable. The saber is very light, even with the heavy grade blade. I actually find it fairly difficult to spin around as the weight just doesn’t give me a good feel. It’s perfect for my son though, and he seems very happy with it. He wanted his saber in blazing orange and runs on 2 AAA batteries. This is a pretty cool color and is very unique. In bright light it seems to look more yellow than anything. Once it’s dark the orange shows through. As with all ultra sabers is incredibly bright. Quite a lot brighter than my Darth Vader force FX saber.

Title: Re: Dark Initiate LE – Blazing Orange Post by: Manroon on February 27, 2011, 05:16:18 AM Gotta say, kid looks like he's off to a good start. Better watch him close though, looks like he's walkin' the line with the Dark Side there...
Title: Re: Dark Initiate LE – Blazing Orange Post by: KreepnSlayer on February 27, 2011, 08:27:18 AM Yeah he's really digging his lightsaber.
It's pretty cool. I meant it in my review. He's five, and you know how kids are, the more noise it makes the better they like it. He hasn't touched his cheap lightsabers since he's gotten this one. Not once. Not even to try to dual weild some sabers, which he loved to try to do before. Even a five year old can feel the quality and knows what he'd rather play with. He's definitely straying toward the dark side, at least as far as his saber preference goes. He's a great kid, well behavedand all that, but he makes me be on his "team" and put my saber on red and then we go "good guy hunting" and fight my other two kids. He's a Sith in the making.

Title: Re: Dark Initiate LE – Blazing Orange Post by: KreepnSlayer on February 27, 2011, 09:59:33 PM It's not quite as bright as the arctic blue or sunriders destiny. Make no mistake though, it's bright.

Title: Re: Dark Initiate LE – Blazing Orange Post by: darth vulkaan on April 25, 2011, 11:08:59 PM I love this lightsaber. I will be buying the same lightsaber very soon. I love the orange, I think it looks awesome with the LE initiate hilt.
Title: Re: Dark Initiate LE – Blazing Orange Post by: Warlock Umbra on April 26, 2011, 01:09:33 AM Great review! Can't wait to get my kid one! Of course, we've been talking about it already! 8)
Title: Re: Dark Initiate LE – Blazing Orange Post by: Stopher on May 07, 2011, 07:20:41 AM This is the exact saber I was going to buy for my 8 yr old. I think the 24inch blad might be a bit small so I'll stick a 32 in there. He like is that the saber I'm geting. When are you ordering it, am I getting that one.....omg here have my Prophecy and go away.
