Standard Archon v2 hilt, pommel, and emitter. Bane's Heart color "crystal". No sound.

Hey everyone. This is my first lightsaber, not counting the plastic toys from when I was growing up lol, and my very first Ultrasaber. I am in absolute love with it. It's fantastic. The color is beautiful and vibrant, no matter if the lights are on or off. This definitely won't be my last saber, as I already have three others in mine that I am wanting. I've never reviewed something like this before, so I really didn't know what to say, lol. I hope it's sufficient. I do plan on ordering a different kind of emitter so that I can get creative with it. Well, thanks for watching and thanks for reading!

Nice. I'd keep that emitter on though. That's just me. We need to see your saber with blade pictures on. Lol. I don't think I've seen an Archon in Bane's heart yet.

I was browsing the forums with my Archon sitting right beside me when I saw this haha. It's a great saber, huh? And Bane's Heart also! Not a color I see very often, especially on this model.

It is truly awesome. I'm very happy for it to be my first saber. Well, I was originally going to get Sunrider's, but then I found out about the "secret forum" colors. Had to get it once I saw it. Quite pleased with my decision. Smiley

Nice saber Heimdall! Bane's Heart is a nice touch too.  Smiley

Also, if you didn't already know, if you do want to change the emitter, keep in mind the neck will have to be removed too. Enjoy!  Cheesy

Thank you. Smiley Indeed, I've decided against it. I'm just going to leave it the way it is, it's amazing that way.

That's actually a pretty good blade shot. What shutter speed did you have on? I usually have mine set for 1.3 for saber stills now. Like if your camera has a shutter speed option put it at 1.3, ISO to 800 with the F button on.

Oh and probably about the best Bane's Heart shot I've seen in a good long awhile. Tongue

Truly! Bane's Heart is an awesome color. I have it as the flash color on 3 sabers. I'm thinking that my next saber will have that, as its main color  Cheesy

Have fun with your Archon! I love mine, and I'm sure you'll feel the same  Grin

Thank you guys for the compliments. I've been playing with it all weekend, lol. Twirling it around the house and what not. I actually used the camera on my iPhone for all of the pictures, so..take that as you will, lol.

I should try taking some pictures of my sabers lit propped up on a door like that just to see how they turn out.

Wouldn't hurt anything. I'm sure everyone would like to see them.
