Perhaps.. Like those little plastic pipes? And wood? SUPER Glue? I have made a keyblade billions of times, it's a really simple design. Just a takes bit of time. And then paint. Painting is fun. x3

There's a tutorial:

...on a wiki for cosplay! I didn't realize it was really underway and has gotten over 200 articles posted.

PVC pipe?
I'd just go with a dowel rod.

If you sand PVC pipe paint can stick, but it's hollow and plastic. You'll have both ends with an opening and it's fairly fragile when using it like that

If you insist; try filling the PVC with "Great stuff" Expanding foam. This will help resonate the vibrations for a possible crack and make it mch sturdier without addind 5lbs

Hm.... True, it would be lighter if i used the PVC pipe and filled it with the expanding foam but it would cost more than keyblade made of wood. Expanding foams are expensive .__.''
and then i have to figure out how i attach the mickeys head and the chain...

If you're more comfortable with wood, use wood. This particular keyblade doesn't have that many components compared to some others so it's unlikely to get heavy. There's also nothing to prevent you from using a combo of wooden dowel/closet rod for handle and main support with PVC sleeve added for the wider white/silver part.
