If I ever get a stable source of income, the custom saber I want to work on will be some sort of shade of violet. Haven't really decided which one, but I might go AS and get color filters because I'm incredibly fond of the shade of purple in SWTOR that is caused by the "Derelict Purple" crystal.

Plus, purple is such a fantastic color.

Purple is an awesome color, although my lady likes it more than I do generally.  It's also my brother's color of choice (he was a big Mace Windu fan as a kid).  So here they are!

Me dueling my brother, haven't gotten many great photos of him with his saber yet but I definitely will post them when I do!  It's a DVA Bane, by the way.

I never really liked any form of purple but the DVA is changing my mind. I actually might get the next saber in DVA. Or PO. I love those two colors together! I hear the  VA is closest to Windu's saber, is that true? Because I really do like that color.

It's a stunt. Got it as a grab bag actually. Loved it so much I ordered one just like it with sound. I bought a vented coupler but I need a couple of shorter blades before I can properly wield the staff.

Did you get a VA Monarch because you love the Venture Brothers? I do. And that would totally be my VB's saber.

Post by: Molina00 on August 11, 2013, 04:54:33 AM
Spidie, it's the lighting.  As far as I know they don't have nickel plated extensions.  Those are the silver ones.

Srams, I am not familiar with the Venture Brothers.  I just thought the Monarch looked regal and a perfect color for regal would be VA or DVA.

I don't have a photo as I don't actually have a saber yet (I'm in the process of choosing my hilt). As for the colour, purple is the winner no contest! Stands out from the crowd and looks a little more fancy than the others :)

By the way, can anyone tell me whether VA, DVA or BH is closest to Mace Windu's lightsaber colour?

Its probably my favorite animated show ever. There's a character named The Monarch and sometimes shoots VA colored lasers and has other VA colored things.

VA is probably closest.  I personally prefer DVA, but let's be honest -- comparing VA to DVA is like comparing one pile of gold to another pile of gold.
In other words, they're both awesome.

I got a purple saber and i'm having some problems. I was using it and when the battery began to die the color changed to red. I tried charging the battery but that didn't help. I looks duller as well, can someone help me out. I'm not sure what to do.

I just got my first saber in today. A manticore in VA with AS FoC, and red illuminated AV switch. I want to open it but I have to wait for my friend who's saber was shipped with mine.

Really would like a VA Bellicose but my concern is that it will look too pink... In a few pictures it looks that way but I know pictures rarely capture the pure color of it... Is it a true purple or does it look kind of pink?

From what I've read, I think DVA is closer to a true purple while VA is closer to Mace Windu's saber color.  I have a Monarch in VA and I don't think it looks that pink at all.

My VA is a true purple. In my opinion it is the perfect shade. I haven't seen DVA in person so I couldn't give you a comparison, but here is a better representation of the color...mainly what is given off on the background.

so I can officially post here now, coz my DVA MLS arrived  8) took advantage of the 10% off sale and my accumulated loyalty points and got myself a few goodies.
at first I was a bit like yeah its ok (was in the sunlight)- but when its darker its a beauty!!!

my camera doesn't give an exact representation, it is a bit more blue in person

I chucked it in my consular :) (with HG blade)

so was taking pictures of my archonsular shroud off today, and my phone on auto settings makes it look very pink -it just doesn't accept the blue very well- the AV switch is actually blue but that barely shows.
so I fiddled with settings, got it looking a bit better- and then got this rather interesting flare up on colour, so I thought id share :) (both with UE btw)

relatively normal looking

So I decided to experiment with my sabers and put the Archon emitter on my Manticore body and....I love it.  I really really love it.  I tried adding the archon pommel too but wielding it was weird, the low profile Manticore pommel looks great on it any way.  I'm considering getting a new Manticore in another color (FO?) and getting an Archon emitter for this Manticore body.

Thanks Blondeangel!  I think I want to order an Archon emitter and keep it like that!  I can easily order a new Manticore (this time with quick disconnects.)  the VA in mine looks great on the blade but the windows of the emitter look pink on one side and blue on the other and that is bothersome.  Putting the archon emitter on it solves that problem and looks sweet!

Title: Re: Purple Power!
Post by: Darth Kitsune on October 17, 2013, 09:10:16 PM
Yes, mine seems to have a bit more blue added into it than others. I like it though. It has this very deep, dark indigo hue to it. It also seems to lighten up at the tip and gradiate into a slight VA color as it gets closer to the tip of the blade (in person).

Redemption is going to look absolutely fantastic once I get the parts I need to customize it.

I'm already configuring a Manticore for joining the club...the only hindrance is (three guesses what) the money, as always xD
Where's the exact difference between VA an DVA and where do they look better - UEHG or normal HG?


Title: Re: Purple Power!
Post by: Racona Nova on October 18, 2013, 08:50:54 PM
Forget the questions...just looked through the topic and I will definitely go for a normal HG and VA! Just looks more brilliant. And it's similar Mace Windu's color what I've read; it always was my favourite color beside the standard CG and GB.

Switched the UE blade on my Manticore for a MG blade.  I think VA looks better with a MG blade.

I'm the opposite.  I prefer my UE over standard mids; I personally feel the color distribution is more even.
Of course, I suppose that's subjective -- it could depend greatly on how your LED mix turned out.

Is before or after the graflex now

I wasn't so sure about it before I got one but now that its here its starting to grow on Me and I've actually shortened the blade today to 28" so its easier for my daughter to hold and also so I can use it as an off-hand saber

Nice Prophesy. Hey those of you that have Lee filters and an AS blade and want a purple blade try Rose Purple x2. Makes a cool purple color. Almost a true purple. Even with just one in. Still haven't gotten me a natural VA blade yet though. I should. Just seems too much of a feminine color to me I think but a lot of you guys even like the color. I'll see about it some time.

Agreed, purple is very regal, and it projects power. Sure some members of either gender may prefer one color over another, but it should not be assumed all females like purple pink or all males don't. I LOVE the VA's and DVA'S I've seen, as well as most other colors. I'm boy a fan of BH or HP, but that's personal preference. If I was female I'd feel the same.

Oh, I see what you mean. I didn't realize the pics were linked to the album.

Seems like you have to copy the direct link and then add image brackets instead of using their automated IMG link. Is it possible to edit earlier posts?

Another shot (excuse to try out the above solution)

Thanks! Emerald is quite nice, indeed. I achieved this shade by combining R 185 G 72 B 255. For my FoC, it pulses between that and R 255 20 times, creating a nice lockup effect.

Nice use of Rosco filters. I feel like Lee filters get more love than Rosco, but they have different hues when you put intense light through them.

Did you get a VA Monarch because you love the Venture Brothers? I do. And that would totally be my VB's saber.

I love Venture bros! I have the dark monarch in VA (pics coming soon) and i think that every time i pick it up. I was even thinking about making a Monarch costume for halloween next year.

A point for the epic cartoon reference.

Hey Rich, that's a nice purple.  Which Rosco did you use?  I've looked at them and they all seem to have a really low transparency so I was afraid to even try them with my AS Liberator.  Figured they'd be really dim.

Standard setup or Obsidian/Li-Ion on your Vibrat...I mean Monarch?   ;)

From the Rosco filter book I used 30 Magenta (#4730). It's a lighter shade but shows up a nice bright purple with the AS ignited.

Haha!  I never thought of it until you mentioned it.  I think that richmbailey either didn't catch that, or didn't dignify it with a response.

I tried out the Purple Jazz #348.  The color doesn't look great with an UE blade but may look better with standard mid grade.  It's also pretty dim since my Liberator is a stunt setup.  I'm thinking that AS with filters definitely looks better if you have a higher wattage LED running.

I just realized I get to post here now! So I rewired my SY saber to a purple color... I'm guessing its more like DVA, it looks lavender... By swapping the wire from the green diode to the blue. I totally love it! Here it is... This isnt the best representation of the color but its close.

(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/11/22/28878280e83ed482657b0b063cd4894b.jpg)

If enabled, this feature allows you to attach files to your posts in much the same way as most email clients, so you simply have to browse to the relevant file(s) on your computer before clicking Post. You can delete your attachment(s) or add more by modifying your post, but please note that:

    The permitted file types and sizes are set by the forum administrator(s).
    Although most forums are likely be configured to display attached images as part of the post, it's not possible to preview attachments so you should always browse to and attach your files just before you finally post your message.


This Attachment feature is what I was hoping to use to post pictures.  Is there some minimum number of posts I have to submit before the Attachments feature becomes available to me?

Nice Scorpion. Looks kinda blue though. Maybe the batteries weren't fully charged?


Title: Re: Purple Power!
Post by: cstoehr on November 25, 2014, 08:21:20 PM
I keep the batteries on the charger at all times when the lightsaber is not in use.  I'm confident they were fully charged when I took the pictures.  It's possible my camera didn't fully capture the true violet color.

Here's a photograph showing my blue Anakin Skywalker with my violet amethyst Scorpion to highlight the difference in the colors.

Title: Re: Purple Power!
Post by: cstoehr on November 25, 2014, 09:41:58 PM
I purchased the Anakin as-is last May.  Because it's made by the other lightsaber replica manufacturer, it has the LED light string running the full length of the blade.  I have not altered it in any way.

I have some new entries in the Purple Power:  Graflex in Violet Amethyst and Archon in Bane's Heart.  Unfortunately my camera does not do very well at bringing out the distinction between these colors.  If you look at the reflected light, you can clearly see the greater blue shade of Violet Amethyst (Emerald driver Red 212 Blue 255) and the greater red shade of Bane's Heart (Emerald driver Red 255 Blue 80).

That's too funny! You're nice to let her open it, lol! I love this thing. I'm not a fan of the claw on the bottom for wielding but I can actually take it off so that's good. They're both removable

Reapers! XD Looks sick in Violet Amethyst though. When you can afford one you think you could maybe get a Dark Shock pommel for that? Would love to see the set up. Its still one of my saber wants but in Blazing Red. Though for the free Initiate do you gotta have like, sound and such added on? If so it'll be a long while and this one will probably be gone by the time I can order something new

I just got the emitter, I don't own the menace.  You can include that emitter for an extra charge which is what happened with mine.  Thank you for the points :) I like this look better myself.  The claws serve no functionality whatsoever, but look awesome.

It's way better for wielding with this emitter on it and losing the claws.  I like it a lot.  I might end up getting rid of the slanted pommel at the bottom and replacing it with just the flat one.  It's a pain trying to set it down with the slant on the end.  I like the look of this emitter a lot better too verses the silver pommel that was on it.  Just looks fancier in my opinion.

Well thank you for the sentiment, I will remember that :) and my saber was actually gifted to me by an incredibly generous forum member (not sure if they want to remain nameless so I'll keep that out) so I'm not sure which one it is.

Great photos everyone! I definitely want some sort of purple/pink for my next saber. Can anybody tell me if I'm correct in thinking that the basic sequence from most blue to most red is:

Guardian Blue -> Dark Violet Amethyst -> Violet Amethyst -> RGB Purple (i.e. equal parts red and blue) -> Hot Pink -> Bane's Heart -> Blazing Red?

Thanks :)

I like the slanted pommel on my reaper but only for looks. Functionality wise the catalyst just works better. I'll swap it all around for when I go to cons. I like the claws when I don't plan on using the saber. I found out the hard way....claws hurt

Here's my latest Acrylic blade, it's going to be for a long pole arm weapon. I love it in the purple, but I think it needs a Yellow source.

Consular hilt + extension from the Flamberge + Dark Manticore emitter..

I like it!!

Point!

*edit*

Hmm.. do you prefer dark or lightside points?


Title: Re: Purple Power!
Post by: Darth Kraxxus on October 07, 2015, 01:23:09 AM
Thanks! Not too familiar with Flamberge parts, but this was part of my Scorpion pommel. And sure, dark points work, thanks!  ;D

I don't know if Emerald purples count, although I did order mine set up that way, shipped to me, but here's a crude picture of DVA.

I need to play with my camera this weekend, and not just the iPhone, and get some GOOD pics.

My newly acquired "Ice Violet" made from emerald B+A at 90% each.  I say "Ice" because although it's a B+A mix there is nearly equal parts silver in the color, it's hard to capture but it's there and it's so nice.  And I use a dark violet for FoC which just compliments the main blade color.

I like that shade of purple. Looks cool. Also nice custom Consular. Consubiter would be a fitting name :P


Title: Re: Purple Power!
Post by: hazard502 on October 18, 2015, 06:11:49 AM
Thanks Zren! :D  And yeah that would be a very appropriate name for this one ha! ;D  I love the Consular and it's fun lightening up the package a little bit.  And having a blade with an "ice" hue is fun and new for me, I generally prefer a heavier and darker(in color not brightness ;)) blade color.

@Racona, I might be getting a Violet Amethyst Manticore since the new av switch option finally came out so look out for some pics from me soon =] Going with the black mid grip section version though because I've been wanting that set up since the day it came out and now that we can get av switches finally on the stunt sabers it'll be even cooler. Told my mom earlier and I thought I was seeing things on that :P I'll make sure to tag you in my review and stuff so =] Might be getting me the saber next month. I want at least one more cool saber before we move back to Colorado. Might as well go big or get nothing right :P As in cool hilt wise. I can't do sound and sch but its cool as always. I just love having fun with my sabers so sound isn't an issue. So will be regular Manticore in Violet Amethyst high pommel and silver non lit av switch

Looking forward to your saber and review :D The Manticore is a great hilt, I love it...might even call it my favourite saber in terms of grip feeling and spinning ability, even better than the Aeons.

So, they finally added latching AV switches which don't need an activation box to their lineup? It's about time - they just look so elegant...an elegant switch for an elegant weapon :P

It's true, though sometimes you have to get a bit cheaty with it.
Slowly pulsing from Guardian Blue to Fire Orange will actually make a fascinating display of purples and pinks in between that is interpreted as more of a rotating spectrum than simply fading back and forth from two different colours. You can also pulse between three colours by bugging out the driver when it isn't perfectly connected. Of course, that is very difficult and usally comes out sloppy. Emerald Driver is really unique because it doesn't always quite do what you expect it to.

Well, I don't exactly have a Midgrade to compare it to, but I can tell you that it is like a dark hot pink. Its definitely the richest and most intense color of the purples/pinks. Or, at least my recreation on the Emerald Driver is. It's pretty to look at.

Post by: Corwyn VonBeck on October 17, 2016, 04:08:57 PM
Purple is my wife's favorite color. She was extremely jealous when I bought our 7 year old daughter a DVA Initiate (that looks rather pink in this photo... must be getting low on battery). I added some O-rings to break up the straight silver of the hilt and give her a little extra grip.
(http://i1077.photobucket.com/albums/w464/Corwyn_VonBeck/2016-10-17%2009.28.57_zpslrml4rap.jpg) (http://s1077.photobucket.com/user/Corwyn_VonBeck/media/2016-10-17%2009.28.57_zpslrml4rap.jpg.html)

So for her birthday, I remedied things as best I could. She loved my Dark Sentinel that I modified to a variant of the LE version, but it was too big for her.
I got her the Dark Apprentice LE in Tri Adegan Silver, then went to work personalizing it a little for her. Stuck a purple US color disk in there and the Tri-Cree just blazed right through it. Added a blue disk and it barely showed... add a red and we start to see some color. 5 or 6 color disks later, I was finally happy with the custom purple, and moved to a little leather wrap on the choke point and in the two grooves at the emitter.

So I now have my Violet Amethyst Dark Initiate v3 and a second VA Dark Initiate with flash on clash and an illuminated switch.

I wanted to try to get my Violet Amethyst a bit darker, so decided to try the color disks.  I know that the discs work best with silver, but figured that I could darken Violet Amethyst with silver flash to DVA and VA flash.  Between the two sabers, one was a bit more blue, the other a shade more pink, so I had to combine a light blue and light pink discs with the purple ones.  Anyhow, here are the results!

I really like the violet amethyst overall, however it is very low on saturation, almost white with a fresh battery and no color discs.  The discs round out the color and give it a bit more saturation.

I might have gone Dark Violet Amethyst had I known about the forum colors a few months ago.  I figure that my next saber will either have an Emerald LED driver or be ordered as DVA with silver flash.

Post by: Grindspine on January 19, 2017, 08:51:12 PM
Thanks for the compliments and points!

I tried to color match them as closely as possible.  The flare on the carpet next to the blades still shows a little more of blue/pink between the two blades, yet the colors are identical (in pictures or in person) after the first third of the blade.

I sure wish they'd come out with a Tri Cree Dark Violet Amethyst with maybe 2 blue and 1 red LEDs, like the Tri Cree Arctic Blue with 2 blue and 1 green LEDs, which might require some special tuning on the levels to get it to look right.

You guys think this one should go for Sith? :P Also with my Dominix V4 pommel. I think it looks cooler rather than with a flat pommel, gives somewhat more character I think. So I'm now in the purple club =] Regular heavy Grade blade and black covertech wheel in the back for my Sith outtings ;o You guys decide though. Jedi or Sith for this one? :P

That's one thing that I really like about purple blades.  They're a little blue (Jedi) and a little red (Sith).  With no color discs, the VA colored ultraedge blades look almost white, but not quite as white as Ahsoka's blades.

Stay gray and pledge allegiance to neither side!

Its standard Heavy Grade. I was actually thinking of using this for my Sith saber for a new Sith costuming club someone had to re-make over the past few months x.x Its the Dark Alliance but under a different name now and not as strict. Totally joining up this weekend once I get more info on them, like if its the same costume angles needed and stuff

You can't tell very well by the pic, but the one on the right is a DVA Dark initiate LE v4 that I just built from an empty hilt. The blade pulses, so it's hard to grab a good pic of it. The one on the left is a normal va. There's a big difference in person, but the pic kinda makes them look the same. If you look at the reflection on the edge of the top shelf, you can see the color.

So, today I got my Dark Initiate v4 in Dark Violet Amethyst with a Yari pike extension.

I figured that I would get some shots of it alongside my offset staff (2x Dark Initiate v3 sabers in Violet Amethyst darkened with color discs).

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/Grinder/067_zpsbzqlnbkf.jpg)

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/Grinder/068_zpseoqvipbh.jpg)

My first v3 Initiate was a bit more pink than I would have liked, so a light blue color disc made it closer to DVA.  My second one (with Obsidian Lite sound) was a bit too blue, so got a purple disc.  The v4 Initiate was a very rich blue, so I used a light pink to roll it back and color match it to the other two.

So, today I got my Dark Initiate v4 in Dark Violet Amethyst with a Yari pike extension.

Great pictures!  Your Dark Initiate with Yari looks especially deadly, points for these awesome weapons.

Post by: Grindspine on April 23, 2017, 11:09:18 PM
Much appreciated!

Since last October, I have gone from a single initiate to two, then combined them to a staff.  I really liked the feeling of the longer hilt and go back and forth between staff and long handled.  I really like how these are easy to customize into slightly different than stock weapons!

Post by: Zren Tobas on April 25, 2017, 04:45:48 PM
Yeah definitely recommend either purples to any dark LE sabers of either versions =] Just suits it so well. Even though Blazing Red would be an obvious choice but yeah. Especially looks good on a Dominix V3 LE I think

I feel like that emitter gives it so much more flair, character, grit.  The only thing about the EH that I don't like, in it's stock form, to be honest, is the emitter.  It just doesn't fit the rest of it, to me.  I am kind of curious how it would look with an emitter that looks like the end of the Graflex...


Title: Re: Purple Power!
Post by: Rapine on February 14, 2018, 08:42:45 PM
Ahhh - a slanted type deal?  That'd be different.

The emitter was one of the things that caught my eye, but it was mostly the excellent contrast. 

I opted for black everything (even the covertech wheel).

It was fun putting together. :)

Is there a way I could turn my red to purple with filters?


Title: Re: Purple Power!
Post by: Karmack on February 21, 2018, 05:26:41 PM
Unfortunately, no.   Purple is a mix of red and blue light.  A filter can only screen out colors, and a red LED only has red to begin with.  The only thing a purple filter would do is make it darker.  :-/

Best LED to use filters on is the Adegan Silver, as its a white light, so you have a full spectrum to start with.


Title: Re: Purple Power!
Post by: Edon Bluewolf on February 21, 2018, 10:42:29 PM
I use a purple day blade on my blazing red dark arbiter.  But Karmack is right, it just makes the red LED look deeper, yet the tube part of the saber stays purple though.  Overall I am pleased with how it looks, purple outer shell with a deep red core.

OK, I know it's not "pure purple" but that is a gorgeous blade color (not to mention the beautiful black&silver Arbiter hilt)!  That would be a blade that I'd like to get for one of my next sabers  :)

I have my updated purple power photos below...  Listed are my stunt Dark Initiate v3 in VA (darkened with a color disc), Dark Initiate V4 Yari/Nagamaki in DVA, Dominix v4 with Emerald driver, and my Initiate v3/Standard Issue put together as a staff with purple one purple side and one photon green side.  The Standard Issue (in Guardian blue) was a win from the last winter raffle!  I just wanted to change up the blade color in a creative way.  The staff vaguely reminds me of General Krull from the Clone Wars series with that color combo.

Post by: For Tyeth on June 26, 2018, 10:55:00 PM
Hi Guys,

One of the best ways I've seen to show the "true" colour of an LED/Blade is to look at/photograph the reflection of the blade in a flatscreen TV. The image in Galvatrix98's TV screen should be pretty close to what you get. Using the reflection stops the camera sensor getting washed out. But remember there will be slight differences due to our colour settings on our monitors and devices.

This trick is similar to the way Lighting Technicians in film and theatre used to test colours using a box filled with smoke.


Title: Re: Purple Power!
Post by: Infinit01 on June 26, 2018, 11:04:58 PM
Sounds like a good method. Going to try it out with my blade

I agree with Tyeth that looks like a pretty apt depiction of Bane's Heart on Galvatrix's monitor.  By the way, that is a really cool looking Monarch you got there Galvatrix, is it nickel plated?


Title: Re: Purple Power!

Sorry guys, I’ve been busy building a saber display, and shooting a small customization set. The top (red) kat is a t10 diff blade custom by an old local maker where I was born who hasn’t made swords in over 20 years. The blue, 2nd down, is my sbg custom from the 2nd or 3rd t10 batch. Both are real nice mid level, heavy cutters, with high quality fittings. The two black kats are my wife and sons light duty musha entry level cutters for training with live blades. There’s nothing in that rack for show. It’s all for live training.

So I'm noticing Lee filters seem to be the go to, especially for richer colors. I personally tend to enjoy the look of silvery pale colors, but I was wondering if any of my fellow purple fans might recommend some Lee filters to achieve a more intense hue.

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to order one of their swatch books when the time comes. Didn't realize how inexpensive it was

You're welcome, mine two swatch books from them just came in.

There's two, the Designers and the Numeric Edition. I do recommend buying them both since they have different variety of colors between the two and they are $2.00 each and with shipping, I think I paid $11.00 total.  You can order them both here: http://shop.leefiltersusa.com/LEE-Swatch-Books_c4.htm (http://shop.leefiltersusa.com/LEE-Swatch-Books_c4.htm)

Thank you my friend.  I forgot about the hilt which sat empty for quite some time until I put it together from being sick and bored at home a couple weeks ago.

Points for Haze09, TD and Inf01 for showing their purple blades and respirator ( getting serious about training more like Master Ryan ?! ) ... my absolute favorite saber color.  Infiniti...  looks like you have been working out just a little... nice form.  ;) :D


These photos are old but this saber is still my favorite in the purple version.  For those wondering... it's a Dominix LE RGB v2.  I noticed that imgur only lets one crop photos now instead of the other enhancing/correcting options.  Do we have to pay for those features now ?

Your V2 Dominix is still one of my favorites, D7.  I'm still in awe each time that I see it.  Thank you, I'm really liking the VA blade color and will have more sabers rocking it moving forward.  I see can why it's your favorite color, its really vibrant and beautiful not to mention that it's a color of royalty. :)  Thanks, I dabble a little...

Do you have a buck puck or resistor on your DVA?  Lots of people like the buckpuck to maintain the color the same always, but I like the resistor because it gets more and more red as the batteries drain.  It is cool to see it pass through VA to HP to BH and then end up BR as if it is falling further and further to the darkside.  8)

Here is an example of my stunt DVA Dark Sentinel LE passing through it's pink phase

Just got my new robes (after they were held by customs for 2+ weeks), now which saber(s) to go with them for the inaugural try on? Got to do a little ironing first.
Swapped out pommels with the Glaive pike and added some very tight orings to my Savior. I just don't like the feeling of bare metal, plus I think it completes the contrast of the hilt.

Getting my Violet Amethyst on. I wanted to put my Dominix LE V4 back together for a V4 group shot, so I grabbed an 18650 and holder and rooted around in my parts box to find a lovely VA LED module. It's some kind of Luxeon in RGB, but I got it in a VA saber that I ordered back in 2016. I was going to use a guarded switch with a silver button, but one of the legs broke off, so I trashed that one and grabbed one with a blue button. Oh well, at least the LED has blue in it. ;) Just because I could, I put a Dominix V3 pommel on it, so it's right at 12.25" long. I cut down a heavy grade blade to 30" and it's beautifully balanced. I can put the saber on my finger right at the tip of the emitter and it will balance there until I move.

Anyway, she looks great in VA:

I'm happy that I manged to get a pretty decent image of the blade color with that second pic. It's not quite so white in the core, but that's about as close as it gets. And, with my other VA saber, my Emperor's Hand:

LOL they do look like cousins actually, different grooves picking up different characteristics from the same family. Have to say i prefer the cleaner look of the DSI Type 1.

I actually prefer the lipped hairbrush style... but we all know that it's really a fancy pie dough roller and a microphone for me lalalalala ( yes those are the words... no sharks involved ).  ;)

LOL

Larry Boy is a "Veggietales" character, the super-hero identity of Larry the Cucumber.   Larry also sings "Silly Songs with Larry" as the intermission of the various Veggietales videos.  Such hits as "Oh Where Is My Hairbrush?", "The Water Buffalo Song", "I Love My Lips", and "Barbara Manatee".   Interspersed with the Boys in the Sink doing "Belly button" and the Pirates who Don't Do Anything singing their theme song.  :-)

And in the "Hairbrush" song, I do believe Larry is actually using a hairbrush as a microphone.   (BTW, the hairbrush was borrowed by the Peach, because 'he's got hair'.)

Search for "Larry Boy and the Fib from Outer Space".   Also search for Big Idea and Veggietales.

Note: Big Idea was bought out later on and much of their later work was done with inexpensive CGI and inferior storytelling and music.  You want the early days, that's the good stuff.

Been super busy with the baby due next week, but finally got a chance to do a little saber work last night.

This was a 4th place raffle prize from last years spring raffle. It hasn't been functional since about 2 weeks after that.

A DSI in DVA with vertical grooves. I weathered it, gave a saber cut on the emitter, added a violet lighted switch, added QD's, and custom light Gray o-rings. Came out like a champ. This cleans up all my US projects for the moment.

Congrats, DarthBone.  I really like your DSI with the DVA blade, looking really good and the weathering for it along with the damaged emitter is looking good.  I like the gray o-rings that you threw on there, gives it grip and a different look altogether

So Galvatrix, how do you like your Monarch? I want a nickel plated one. Can you take a few pictures of it? Maybe a brief review?
Sure.
Here's a few more pictures, mine is the nickel-plated version but it probably doesn't show super nicely in my available lighting:
(https://i.imgur.com/W5Llj2L.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/9PLw8ez.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/g3jAGDO.jpg)

While I think it looks good, the Monarch isn't exactly what I was expecting when I got it a few years back. It's a bit bulkier than it seems to look in pictures, and it's very heavy for its size. In fact it feels just as heavy as the Fulcrum to me, which is a massive saber (maybe the non nickel plated ones are a little lighter, I'm not sure). And the shape of the saber is also problematic. There's not really a good place for my leading hand because the bulbous switch section is so wide and it feels very awkward. Also the big fat rings in the grip section are bigger than they look and they uncomfortably press into my palm when I grip it tight:
(https://i.imgur.com/uenbEn7.jpg)

This is a saber I'd love to see Ultrasabers roll out a v2 version of as I feel like slimming it down a bit would significantly improve handling while retaining the regal aesthetic that they were going for. But while the weight and the shape keep it from being a solid dueling saber, again it does look great. Especially with the nickel plating. I got mine in Bane's Heart, and I think that color and straight red both compliment the nickel coloring very well. So if you want one for the cool factor, then it's a great choice. One thing to mention along those lines though is if you're going to use it for cosplay or something then finding a way to hang it from a belt may be a challenge since there's no place to put a covertech, and the pommel hole seems to be a little wide for D-ring setups:
(https://i.imgur.com/bgYEWKN.jpg)

Also, while it has an MHS compatible pommel, if you get the nickel plated version there's not really anything you can do with it. I've seen some people put a Scorpion pommel for instance on a Dark Monarch which looked pretty cool, but that's not really an option here without it looking incredibly weird. Anyway, hope that helps.

Thanks Galvatrix, this info and the pics helped immensely. I think I may rethink the Monarch. I still really like it, but it doesn't sound very comfortable  to wield. Going to have to really think about it. Anyone else have one? I'd like to know your opinions as well.

Bought my 1st saber while at Fan Expo Boston a few weeks ago. Dark Apprentice V5 with belt clip, heavy grade blade, and of course my favorite color, violet.

Love it, though I kind of wish I went with a shorter blade. I'm only about 5' 6" and kind of want to be able to hold it down by my side, without it hitting the ground. Maybe I'll get used to the 36" blade length though.

Quick question for those of you with Violet Amethyst sabers: Does the color in real life look white-ish to you? The photos in this thread look so rich and vibrant, but I just got my first sabers and they don't look quite like that to my eye.

Still a great color, but far closer to white than a vibrant purple.  But my color disc experiments have been a success in getting a rich Blue or Red out of the VA. I've even managed to get a hot pink/BH and a dark blueish purple (BVA?).
Just wondering if this white-ish hue is common or if it's just my sabers?

Still have the batteries that it shipped with, but even with the color discs, it pretty bright. So I don't think it's the batteries.
I guess it's just a color that looks better on camera than IRL. That's sad because it was starting to be one of my favorite saber colors. I wanted a rich saturated purple like in the photos, not a light pastel lavender.

Oh well. I guess I have to live with it. Already ordered it for my sound saber. My boys are happy with their blue/red so it'll work.

Sorry I can’t honestly answer that question because mine is a Emerald driver and I mixed the color myself till I got the shade of purple I was happy with.

Maybe try fresh batteries anyway just to see if that might help any. when I did my first real purple saber a few years ago I had the clear type blade for mine so maybe that's a difference too

I'll probably have to try fresh batteries by tomorrow anyway. I plan on doing some videos and my sons have been using the sabers quite a bit.
I just did a test with my camera and it does show up as a nice purple there. So I really think it's just my eyes.

The funny part about it is that if I put a blue and red color disc in it, it becomes the color I want, but at the price of brightness.

My VA Bane look the same way. The blue LED US is using currently is too light in hue. It needs a deeper blue LED to work great. Resistoring it back give the illusion of darkening it some but really just dims it a bit. And using color disks filters the unwanted wavelengths but again results in less light projection. If there is alot of variation it is a supplier issue shipping US inconsistent LEDs. I'm not sure if this overly white VA is a consistent thing (color selection by US) or just a few of us with chemically inaccurate LEDs (poor manufacturing or sorting practices by the supplier).

I'm not sure if this overly white VA is a consistent thing (color selection by US) or just a few of us with chemically inaccurate LEDs (poor manufacturing or sorting practices by the supplier).
Well the good news is that for what I wanted VA for (ie to use discs to swap between Blue or Red), the sabers I got are perfect. We can get a vibrant Blue or Red with only a slight dimming (barely noticeable and still FAR brighter than any toy saber we've ever had)

What worries my is that I've ordered a sound saber in VA with Silver FoC. If the VA looks too white to me, the Silver FoC wont' really show up and I'll feel like I spend $35 for nothing.  We'll see, of course.  I also intended for my sound saber to primarily be VA and the R/B swapping with discs was going to be a bonus and part of my character's backstory.

I was HOPING the color would match this:
http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=40575.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=40575.0)

In that thread, a dark green disc was used to make Blue. So in theory a Silver FoC would be green, giving me a Blue blade with Green FoC
Likewise an Orange disc was used to make Red. So again in theory, I'd get a Yellow/Orange Foc to go with that Red

But the VA I got gets the Red/Blue with R/B discs respectively, not Orange/Green.  Side note, I also didn't get a dark green disc with my order, I think I got an extra Red instead.  Hopefully my next order comes with a Dark Green AND is the VA shown in that thread

Quick question for those of you with Violet Amethyst sabers: Does the color in real life look white-ish to you? The photos in this thread look so rich and vibrant, but I just got my first sabers and they don't look quite like that to my eye.

Still a great color, but far closer to white than a vibrant purple.  But my color disc experiments have been a success in getting a rich Blue or Red out of the VA. I've even managed to get a hot pink/BH and a dark blueish purple (BVA?).
Just wondering if this white-ish hue is common or if it's just my sabers?

-

I had the same experience.  I was looking forward to a purple blade but it was very light and not vibrant at all.  It was a basic set up though using AAA batteries, dunno if that made a difference.

Mine are 4xAAA stunts.  What I have found is that the purple (and other colors) can look milky or washed out in the Ultra Edge blades.   Especially to the eye.  UE blades ROCK for photography, but to the eye they often look a little washed and white-ish, while to the eye the standard blades look more vibrant but tend to "white out" in photos.

This seems particularly true of purples, reds, oranges and yellows for some reason.   

They also look more washed out under full light.  I tend to take photos of mine with the lights dimmed or even off to maximize their effect.

I have only UE heavy Grade in Consular Green. I don't know if this is true for all colors or blade types, but i find that for the naked eye you still see it as a solid saber. a colored tube. You can't see that white-greenish hue like watching a green filament. That wouldn't be cool anyway...not to be able to look at your saber more that a few seconds. So i think that might be it for some people. Their eyes see the blade as a coloured tube, not like a pure beam of light. The pictures and videos look absolutely brilliant. Just like in the movies. I would post a video here, but it's to big and imgur doesn't support file that large.

I can't wait too!! I like the UE for the cooler colors, with that said VA works good with both since it has hot and cold LEDs mixed but I do lean towards the UE blade for my VA sabers

That's the true power of purple!

Here in the Netherlands they used to have this habit of hanging tiles in the toilets with quotes/sentences on them, kind of 60-year-old-memes.

Yeah, I've held a Fallen. It's too top heavy to be effective in combat. But I think it would totally work in either combat or cosplay with that Cat emitter. I can also attest that a tsuba would be very handy in straight dueling. Good luck to you.

Here is a link of a clip where Samuel L Jackson described how he got a purple lightsaber to be canon. Fair warning, (if you know anything about him) this video contains 2 uses of profanity. This is why I didn't directly embed a copy here. He says the S-word once and MF once too. But it's funny and worth watching if you love purple lightsabers.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubyo5eZz_Jc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubyo5eZz_Jc)

He also says in a separate interview in 2019 that out of 100-120 different characters he played in movies over the years Mace Windu is his #3 favorite, that says something about his love of SW and why he got his own lightsaber color. Too cool.

As a serious user of shinai and knowing tsuba save fingers, I like that kind of upgrade... even if not perfectly in line with canon, it's got an ideological home in EU lore I'd suppose; and certainly a definitive sparring usefulness once the armor meets the blades. And that is a good looking upgrade for sure, which still falls in line with the spirit of the Fallen considering the level of customization in JtFO almost anything fits... Nice.

I purchased an empty The Fallen and installed an RGB Other Guys Soundboard into it.  Really enjoying this blend of purple I programmed to my 3rd channel.

Really good looking, I love it. Almost went with something similar but love the orange most of the time. Close 2nd, and definite win IRL at any rate.

Say hey, forum folk.
My wife *really* wanted a purple blade, and I did not do quite enough research before purchasing a Bane's Heart.  It ain't cuttin' it for her.  Swapping the led will be well within my technical capabilities.  I do note that the Bane's Heart appears to have a red led and a blue, which blue is very nearly overwhelmed by the red and creates a sort of reddish-pink color.  And the led module has a total of four wires attached.  My question comes in two parts, then.  First, is the Violet Amethyst the closest I can get to true purple?  And second, is that module also a two-led, four-wire set-up?  Cheers!

Violet Amethyst is indeed the closest to Purple you can get.   The module will be the same 4-color LED.  Both BH and VA (and BVA as well) are a mix of blue and red.  BH is mostly red with a little blue.  BVA is mostly blue with a little red, giving a very bluish purple color.  VA is (or nearly is) 50/50 blue and red.

You may be able to make your own more purple.  There is likely a resistor on the blue power lead cutting down the power to the blue LED.  Removing that will strengthen the blue light and bring it closer to a true purple.

Okay, well.  No resistor to remove.  So I ordered up a new LED module and swapped it out.  And the wife is happy.  Sweet.

Quite the dramatic difference. A job well done, and you get to be "the hero" in the end. Well played, and now you're both pleased with your lightsabers. Rather skillfully executed thus a point for that.

The first picture without the blade actually looks like a saber being ignited

Ha ha, actually, there is a blade there.  But due to the angle of the shot and the darkness of the room and the rumpling of the sheet....  It's a cool effect, definitely!

Nice. Yeah I never noticed how red Bane's Heart actually was until after getting one 2 years ago in my Dark Initiate V2 LE saber :P

Here's my Manticore in VA. The Aurebesh text around the grip spells out "protect". Also, it has the SIBSv3 pommel.

Yeah it is pretty sweet, great color scheme including that blade color. And the symbols looked etched in at first glance, but on further review I'm guessing paint? Either way, looks awesome.

Thanks for checking it out. The Aurebesh text is actually a vinyl decal. I was worried it might come loose from the oil on my skin but so far... so good.

Oh, very nice, vinyl is great. It has some great applications, thanks for letting me know!

Thanks Darth. Here's another pic. You can see the text around the grip a little better, and also the vinyl decal on the bottom of the pommel. I sealed that one with lacquer so it's never coming off. LOL.

My franken saber in VA! It has the cross guard body, the manticore emitter and the fallen pommel.

The Dark Monarch in DVA! this is by far the heaviest ultra saber.

Wow… I own both the Fallen and the Scorpion, and if this is heavier than those two, that’s saying something!

Speaking of what I own, I need to update my sig!

Well, I don't have either of those sabers but the Monarch is the heaviest of all that I have and have held.

Purple is an awesome color, although my lady likes it more than I do generally.  It's also my brother's color of choice (he was a big Mace Windu fan as a kid).  So here they are!

Meg twirling her saber with a longer shutter speed

Me dueling my brother, haven't gotten many great photos of him with his saber yet but I definitely will post them when I do!  It's a DVA Bane, by the way.
