LEGO's Light-UP Anakin Skywalker
by Lando da Pimp

Yesterday we received the invitation for a party hosted by LEGO during Toy Fair. Check it out. It's a first look at Anakin mini figure for Episode III. Normally this is not that big of a deal but this mini figure has something different! When you depress his head, the lightsaber lights up. We have inquired into LEGO if all Episode III mini figures will have this functionality.

UPDATE
We heard from LEGO. They wouldn't answer my question about if all the Episode III mini-figures will have light up lightsabers. They did say this:

"I can't answer that just yet (not until February 1) but I will tell you that there is more than one light-up minifigure" They also only have a 3 hour battery life.

I would believe that all the new Jedi mini-figures will have this functionality. Looking around the web I saw a couple of different characters. My hope is that they will sell these mini-figures seperatly from the LEGO sets. How sweet would that be. With a 3 hour battery life my one question is where is it? It is most likely built into the torso. As always we will find out as soon as possible!
