Here's a timeline outlining the evolution of toy lightsabers:

1. Late 1970s - Early 1980s: The first toy lightsabers were released by Kenner following the original Star Wars trilogy. These early versions were typically made of plastic and featured extendable blades with a telescoping mechanism.

2. 1990s: With the resurgence of Star Wars popularity, toy lightsabers saw advancements in design and features. Hasbro became a prominent manufacturer, producing lightsabers with improved durability and sound effects.

3. Early 2000s: Lightsabers began incorporating electronic features such as light-up blades and motion-activated sound effects. Hasbro's Force FX lightsabers became popular among collectors for their movie-accurate design and effects.

4. Mid-2000s: Toy lightsabers expanded to include customizable options, allowing users to swap out blade colors and hilt designs. This customization trend continued to grow in popularity over the years.

5. 2010s: Lightsabers became more immersive with the introduction of interactive features such as motion sensors, Bluetooth connectivity, and app integration. Hasbro's Black Series lightsabers became sought-after collectibles for their attention to detail and realism.

6. 2010+: Toy lightsabers continue to evolve with advancements in technology, offering even more realistic sound and lighting effects. Companies like Disney and Galaxy's Edge offer customizable lightsaber experiences at their theme parks, allowing fans to build their own high-quality lightsabers.
