| Hi does any of those 3 lightsabers look original ? They all floated in water and they do not look painted.  |

| Hi, to the eye these look good but be aware Revalveit made some repros that were CAST in blue plastic and FLOATED - as Uli said in a similar thread some of these sabers float and some sink.
You can make a small scratch to be sure if it's painted or not.

no, some repro sabers are painted and some repro sabers are made in the same colour plastic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ My website: The Vintage Toy Advertiser - recognise these toys?

How can I then see what is repro and what is original if they are maid of the same plastic colour ?

| yep, it's difficult. Usually the originals are much more flexible and the repros have less flexibility:

Damn, it's difficult to ID the lightsabers even with the help from the guide.
