Every kid has dreamed of having a lightsaber (regardless of how deadly they would be if we could actually obtain one) but modern technology has let us get closer than ever to a fun, playful version of the iconic fantasy weapon.
Whether you are looking for a display piece to start conversations (or simply admire), or a sturdy lightsaber you can train and spar with, we've got you covered.
This Ahsoka Tano lightsaber kit come with handles for both of her iconic blades in a pristine case for both storage and display. Unfortunately, the blades are sold separately, but Ahsoka is too cool for us not to include these anyway.
With the popularity of the animated Star Wars runs and The Mandalorian, this list just wouldn't be complete without the Darksaber. Currently owned by Din Djarin, this lightsaber can be displayed on the included stand, can be used with or without the blade, and has several different lighting and sound effects.
If you love Star Wars' scrappy youngster, who hails from a desert planet, overcomes tons of adversity, and has complicated relationships with their family, growing to become a powerful Force user over the course of several films, we've got a lightsaber for you! And this one is a replica of Rey's from the end of The Rise of Skywalker.
This lightsaber from Custom Saber comes in several varieties, including some with neopixel support. You can grab one modeled after your favorite Jedi, or unique models. This RGBX version has 12 sound font sets, three lighting effects, and three levels for the volume.
If you want a lightsaber that is officially licensed and made for kids, this is a fantastic choice. Not only is it based on Luke's first lightsaber, which he got from Ben in the first Star Wars film, but it can also be disassembled into four small parts, so kids can enjoy putting it all back together. You can also pick up other Forge lightsabers to obtain different parts so you can create one that is truly your own.
If you want to have a lot of flexibility in your lightsaber use, this is a great pick for you. The kit comes with two lightsabers, which you can use to duel, or you can duel wield them, and there is a central pommel you can use to transform them into a double-bladed lightsaber. They are USB-C chargeable and can run for 4 hours with 12 colors and 3 sound modes.
Vader's Vault is pricey, and depending on what you want to order, it can take several months or even a year to receive it, but what you get in return are blades that look truly awesome. Each blade is made primarily with materials from the USA, and they support neopixel technology. You can also customize your blade, which is made just for you (or you can buy one based on your favorite Star Wars character).
Also be sure to check out our roundups of the best Batman action figures as well as our best Marvel action figures. And if wrestling is more your speed, we also have a list of the best WWE action figures as well.
