After awaiting for over 5 hours on my couch today, FedEx finally delivered my saber! I'll post some pictures an a little review for my first saber.
Well here it is, in all its glory.
The red av switch looks great with the orange
I love how they colored the tip gold, it looks so unique. O.o
Here's with the blade in, I got a basic midgrade.
The Fire Orange looks very yellow on camera, it's much more like the color of the fruit than a yellow. More like fire.
"It is the weapon of a Jedi" Probably my favorite pic
I wasn't able to get any good ones in the dark, maybe I will when it's done charging.
So here is how I rate this saber.
Design - 10/10
I freakin love this saber, the gold goes perfect with the fire orange.
Color - The color of the led, is perfect in every way. It is better than I hoped it to be, pictures could never do it justice.
Hilt - 9/10 - The only things I don't like about this hilt (but very very minorly!) is the bulky pommel and the upper grip. The bulky pommel thing is just my personal opinion on looks, I've never been a fan of them for looks, but it does help control the saber better, so I'm fine with it. As for the grip, I'm one of those fancy lightsaber wielders that spins my saber everywhere. Nothing that adding a mhs choke won't hurt.
Sound - 10/10 How does that tiny speaker do it?! It's freaking loud now, and I haven't even used it with fully charged batteries yet! Also for the fact that you can change your sound font to your custom, makes it sooo worth it. If anyone has their doubts abut Obsidian or that it's too pricey just for sound, GET IT!!! You will not. repeat, WILL NOT be disappointed!
Quality - 9/10 It would've been 10/10, but my saber has a few deep scratches on the hilt and tip of emitter.
Overall - 10.5/10 Yep, I did it. I passed the barrier. It didn't just meet my expectations, it obliviated them. This is truley an amazing saber, knocks those Force FX sabers out the window. The bad thing? Now I'm addicted! I NEED MORE OF THEM!!!!
Well I hope you find this review helpful, I'm actually planning on customizing this lightsaber, you can find the thread here:
