Obi-Wan # 10 vaulted edition black box

Postby McScruffy » Wed Nov 01, 2017 11:42 am

I was re-sorting my Star Wars collection the other night and when I turned off the lights I saw a glow over in his direction. Upon further look I noticed that Obi-WANs light saber glows. Does anyone else have this and confirm it is supposed to? I have never noticed this and no other sabers in non holo form glow (except the ones in the new Last Jedi 4 packs from what I know). Just wondering if this was intended or an error.

The light sabers glow. Or at least the old ones, I never bother to check the newer lines.

Interesting as my Blue Box Luke (#11) does not glow. Nor does my old Vader, or #49 Luke. Not a big deal but found it strange.

Try charging it up by using the flash on your camera and see if that works.

So here is the pic I just took of the Obi-Wan...

I can charge it for longer and take a better picture when the sun isn't shining through the windows.


I charged the Luke (#11 Blue Box) and got nothing. Same for all older releases with sabers.

Yeah I've seen this with some Star Wars pops and some others. I think it just has to do with the plastic they are using to make it, maybe some batches just retain light better.

So I check every SW pop with a saber (That isn't a GITD variant) and none of the sabers glow except for this Obi-Wan. Can anyone verify that their black box "out of the vault" Obi Wan does the same?

It does. I don't have a black box Jedi Luke to test, but someone should test that too.

I remember hearing about this a year or two ago. I thought almost all the older figures with sabers glowed, but apparently not.
