Ok, here we go:
gave it to my kids to go try out, they've been outside for an hour (the sun is starting to set now) and this arctic blue is bright!!!! I just love it!
my 8 yr old said the Counsular was a bit heavy for her so she gave it to my 19 yr old and went back to using her US Prophecy (VA with MR sound install by Jango) and my 4-yr is using my MR Yoda (converted with TCSS kit by Vader's Vault) and they are having a blast out there!
I'm still debating how the sound card is. It's awesome, detects swings, clashes, etc. my thing is that sometimes i think it sounds sithy with the swing sounds. I think two of them sound like Vader swings. Don't get me wrong, the Obsidian is great! It sounds ominous.
The saber is kind of on the thick side, but it's a battle saber so it's got very good heft. I've just been spoiled by my thin thin thin OWK1 (conversion done by LDM). But the OWK1 is a show saber, not a battle saber.
Overall, I'd say this is one of Ultrasabers best offering to date! And I've been here since the beginning! I finally took apart my two original Anakins that were Ultraconverted from way way back when and will be practicing recharge port installs on them.
oh, required pics:
Prophecy next to Counsular
Yes, the Prophecy has a short Ultraedge blade (she's only eight)
