Kylo Ren's Force FX lightsaber shines in Hasbro's Star Wars: Black Series

Supreme Leader Kylo Ren's lightsaber is part of Hasbro's Black Series, which is aimed at fans of fancy Star Wars toys and hardcore collectors.

I can confirm that mirroring Kylo Ren's pose from The Last Jedi feels awesome.

This $300 lightsaber looks pretty impressive with the blades in, but you'll want to activate the blades in a darkened room for real visual punch.

It looks magnificent like this, but the blades will deactivate after a short period of inactivity.

Sometimes you just want to stand in a dark room with a red lightsaber. Kylo Ren would understand.

The back of the box highlights some of the cool features, like the battle clash effect.

Activating the lightsaber while holding the hilt at this angle will turn on the side blades first, then the main one. This is a reference to the first time we saw Kylo Ren in the initial trailer for The Force Awakens.

The hilt can sit on its stand and makes for a nice display piece.

It's hard to capture in still images, but there's a slight ripple effect running through the blade. This reflects the lightsaber's instability in the movies.

The red kyber crystal is visible within the hilt.

Each emitter is highly detailed.
