This is a toy my child played with. I bought it new, and since my child only swung it around, it's in good condition. I asked my child how to play with it, and I confirmed that both the light and sound work. There are three operation points besides the power switch. My child seemed to really enjoy it because they could make sounds by swinging it at the right time, making them feel like they were really in a battle. The flame-like light is also cool. I haven't opened the battery box in a long time, so I'll include the old batteries that are currently in it if you'd like.
