Okay, I've know for sometime now that Ultrasabers are cool. How cool? I get the internet for the first time in a month and half, and I find the Manticore front and center. I order said Manticore at lunch time. It shipped in about three hours and will be here Tuesday. I was planning to have a big saber photo and video catch up now that I can post again, but now I think I will wait until next week...

When my Manticore emitter arrives, I think I will have to finally do that long overdue video review of my Archon V2, featuring (among others) the Manticore emitter. As much, as I would love to be able to do a review on the Manticore itself, it is just not in the budget. However, having this excellent emitter to add to my collection adds yet another personality to my Archon, and I think folks will appreciate seeing how you can essentially transform this saber with the use of different emitters, necks, and pommels.
Not trying to make this an Archon thread. Just wanted to make it known that the Manticore emitter will be exclusively responsible for pushing my desire to post a review over the top!

This just knocked the Overlord, Bellicose, and Archon out of the running for my next saber. I was on the fence about it when i first saw picks a few months back because the only really cool looking part is the emitter, but now that i've been constantly removing and reattaching the shroud on my Consular, i've come to realize that i prefer a simple grip design for actualy swinging around. And with the low profile pommel, this is perfect for how i hold swords. Comfortable looking, simple hilt + awesome vented emitter = YES NOW PLEASE. Also in one of the pics (close up of emitter with blue LED), the emitter looks like it has nickel plating. Is this an option that will possibly be available later, because it's not on there now. If there are plans for this option, i'm definitely holding off to get it that way, or if i can use the requisitions to have it specially requested, i'd do that too.

I am contemplating the possibility of a Holiday purchase, so this Manticore thingy is now on the(very short) list of possibilities.
