 TOYS Star Wars Light-up Saber Chopsticks - Import Preorder


NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» The original Star Wars chopsticks didn't light up. Fail. Kotobukiya remedies the lack of chopstick illumination with a new version which is fitted with an LED so the Darth Vader version glows red and the Luke Skywalker variant burns blue.
