I ordered my first Manticore Emerald back in February and liked it so much that I decided to get another one to make a staff.  I got one of the new adjustable couplers as well.  Changed them both to pulsing green, just the color I was in the mood for at the time.  Have not had much play time with it yet, but happy with it thus far.

Awesome staff man.  Dual manticores for the win!  Are the new couplers pretty solid?

That's a nice Manticore staff!  Which pommel do you keep on them?

The new couplers seem to be really solid from what little bit I was able to use the staff today.  Pretty easy to adjust for the most part.  I tightened it with minimum force and it holds well, I think the small notches help to keep it from loosening or slipping.

I have the low profile pommels for both.

I got to play with it some tonight and although it is slightly heavier, it has good feel to it.  I will have to swap out or shorten the blades up a bit.  With the 36" blades it it much taller than me and my other two phantom staffs.

Nice, I keep a low profile pommel on mine as well.

Point! I'll be back later to hand out another, seeing as how you have two Manticore hilts.

So easily changed back to BR with the Emerald driver.  I had my initial one as pulsing BR originally.

Told ya I'd be back! Point

Thanks for the re-visit.

Nice. This makes me wish I just would've gone for my Violet Amethyst Manticore plan. Oh well. Maybe next time or for my birthday this year. Tongue

Very nice. The Manticore is one of their best hilts in my opinion and the staff looks twice as good  Wink

Point! Although I saw an Omen staff and it looks magnificent! So my jealous side has stepped down a bit! And the penny pincher is now awake!
