It's almost October and you know what that means. Halloween! I'm only excited, because it's about damn time it falls on a Monday night where I have off. I haven't done trick-or-treating in years. I know I'm too old to get candy, but hey, if I'm going to be walking around with a friend's kid or something, I might as well dress up and get candy myself. Even if my friend backs out at the last minute, I'll still dress up and pass out candy.
Earlier this year, I bought a lightsaber from UltraSabers. I've always wanted to get one from them, because they're made for full contact dueling. I have Anakin's lightsaber, but that's a Hasbro Force FX lightsaber and if my friend's kid wanted to swing it around, I would be very cautious of it. This UltraSaber I have I no longer worry. Trust me on this, I tested how durable it was by swinging it against a thick piece of wood with full force. Didn't break. Just left a few marks on my saber. Anyways here's the costume I made and my own customized lightsaber from UltraSabers.
My costume I made. I bought a black karate suit and made some over apparel from a couple black pants I no longer fit.
My green lightsaber on. The blade is made out of polycarbonate and the handle is made out of aircraft aluminum. I tell you what, I was nervous about buying one, but this guy is probably the reason why I did.

When it's off.
Also, they're pretty bright. It doesn't light up well during the daytime outside. Lastly, unlike my Anakin Skywalker lightsaber. I can remove the blade if I want to.
