A great alternative to the shoddy, blow up, Star Wars light sabers of the day.

I had one of these swords. One of my favorite toys. I never had the shield. They probably didn't sell the shield in Missouri because there was a law against it.

I had a blacklite bulb in an old battered brass lamp base that we'd use to quickly charge up the glow on our swords.

By "second version," I mean to say that it was a running change during production, not a second distinct release.

Congratulations! I have three Space Swords (and probably had that many or more in their original time of release), but I had never seen or heard of the Space Shield until you posted pictures of yours. I'm still on the hunt for that. It looks to me from the photos as if you have the second version, which is thinner plastic and doesn't glow as strongly. Does it have some "give" if you squeeze it at the flattest part down near the hilt?
