Get ready for battle with your own customized blaster! Will you take on the enemy with a pistol? Will you become a clone trooper and blast battle droids with your rifle? The choice is yours. Assemble the parts in different ways to create different configurations. Pull the trigger and watch the barrel light up! The weapon sounds change with each new attachment! Build your own blaster and get fired up for action and adventure!

The Star Wars Clone Wars Ultimate Blaster is made up of seven components – a basic pistol (the core component), magazine, butt stock (stamped with the Republic crest), folding stock, scope (sadly nothing more than a tube), barrel and additional central chamber. Through a neat system of contacts these bits and pieces can be fitted together to create an advanced version of the basic pistol, the long (we’re talking well over 2 feet once assembled) clone rifle seen in the films or something resembling the rifle wielded by clones and stormtroopers alike in the movies.

Adding components produces sound effects, and then the combination used gives a different firing speed and sound, all taken from the movies. It’s eschewed the crystals route of the lightsabers; probably a good thing, as those were small and easily lost, negating certain sound and light functions on those toys. Star of the show is the central chamber, which when added gives off a neat blue pulse up and down the barrel when fired. That it looks and sounds awesome is undeniable, and it feels pretty hefty once assembled; I’d be interested to see what smaller hands and arms make of the full 2′+ assembly.

Star Wars toys never seem to become less popular and this Star Wars Clone Wars Ultimate Blaster three in one blaster gun is another great addition to the range. It is a build-your-own kit style set where you have lots of bits and pieces to fit together to make either a pistol, short rifle or long rifle.
