    It’s the standard version but I don’t mind.
    Funny enough it’s exactly the same head but with the LED tech removed. Maybe there is a way to build something in.

    Weird. That’s cool it’s still included though.

    I don't have much issue with Tarn's fingers. One might pop out occasionally when handling, but that's usually only happens if I move it in an unnatural direction.

    So I asked someone before who had the exclusive version about the head change out, is the swap between heads loose or tight on yours? The other person said his head would fall out if it was upside down.

    Zero problems on my Star Saber! Definitely tight enough to hold both Heads very well.

    Did he have to be pre-ordered from a specific place to get the light up head? I pre-ordered via Kapow and the description did mention a face LED, so i'm hoping I get it.

    Still no news on mine shipping yet :(

    D4Toys. That's where I got mine. The red head will light up on the normal version, just not the blue head.

    No problem! Just came home from work and checked again just to be sure
    But everything works great and is the quality you can expect from Flame Toys.

    Anymore updates from anyone on the mass release date for Saber? I noticed he’s still not listed in the “coming soon” section of TFsource.

    Unfortunately for exclusive owners, flame toys might have fixed the issue for the standard release after several complaints I saw on Twitter about it.

    Could be the case! But on the other hand I did also have zero problems with the fingers from Tarn. Maybe I’m just lucky,haha.

    Anyway I changed the head now a dozen of times and still absolutely no problem. Fits like a charm. Same goes for the other head.
