I bought all 4 versions of these lightsabers and they have been a huge hit in our house. This one glows (blue), makes humming sounds (one for idle and another for contact), and feels like a pretty durable toy (I have 3 young boys so it has to be pretty tough).

The only con I see with this toy is that the spring-loaded feature can be dangerous if it's pointed at anyone because it just jumps right out, and the plastic on it is not some soft, cushiony sort of plastic so I know it could cause some damage.

Even so, it is a great toy and a great value for something that my young kids can enjoy with their dad.
