Sick saber dude. Looks good in Dark Violet Amethyst. But I like the Blazing Red better.

Another awesome review Mooose!  I agree, the Manticore with the aluminum covertec wheel and AV switch is super sweet.  I must remember to "comment" the wheel swap when I eventually order this puppy.

Jealously,
Saint

That is a gorgeous saber. Yet another push towards getting a manticore to call my own.

Can I ask how much length the emitter adds to the saber?

Nice review and saber Mooose! If I may ask, what kind of camera and tripod/rig are you using? Very nice quality on those close-ups!

Excellent review again Mooose. Very good too see that close up detail of the saber on video.

It seems a shame that the blade plug doesn't quite fill the windows in the emitter of that Manticore however. I wonder if it's possible to request a longer plug...

Also, as I'm yet to order my first saber, I was interested in your opinion of the flash on clash feature. Specifically I was wondering how long the saber changes colour for. In the videos I've seen it seems to stay the flash colour for just a fraction longer than I think that I would like. Is this just because of the recording, or does it perhaps seem quicker in person than it appears in the clips?
