At the next best chance, I'll rob my bank account and buy the hell out of this saber with all the available features. (If that makes sense xD) The emitter with those many details, the curved main body, the "sleeve" and the silver accents below which imo make it look like the saber has gills or exhaust-vents (sort of) make this saber a must have.  One thing I'm missing though in the recharge-port options, is the kill key. ^^" |

I noticed that too. I think I read a while back that US is not a fan of kill keys so I wonder if they are going to stop offering them? I could be wrong but I thought I read that somewhere. |

Oh well. ^^" That makes sense I guess...haven't been on here for a few weeks. In line with the "always on" option, I thought this would be a nice feature. With the saber on your belt, have the key tied to the same belt and inserted into your saber...upon "drawing" the saber the key pops out because it's tied to your belt and thus "booting" the saber. Still, I'll nevertheless add this to my series sometime...for sure. |

Yeah the main hilt would be over 20 feet long as a staff. o_o Even without the claws. Would be interesting to see though.

Can't wait to see everyone's first options. I changed mine up but I'm keeping my Mantis a secret.  |

REVIEW
Hello. It looks good and durable. Hope there is no power problems because of the curved hilt, transmission wise. The design is cool. The emitter guard is great, hopefully there will be finger guards you make apart from the triprong emitter guards. It also looks like the weapon can be joined with another Mantis to form a lightsaber that is double-bladed with curved hilts. Thank you.
-Tol Freeman

I don't think there will be any power problems. We'll see here soon since like 6 or more people already bought the saber. I'll be getting mine soon enough.

I'll be getting mine tomorrow! Only one thought, I would love to see pics of this as a staff if anyone does that.

Molina, I'm actually considering that, with a modification. If I ever do this, I will bend them both forward and then mount a small blade across the gap inside the curve, probably a modified initiate, and wield it like a bat'leth, a Klingon sword from Star Trek. That would be about the most awesome cross-over I can think of to take to a Con.  |

Well, my Guardian will get ordered in the NEXT raffle. Assuming similar prize packages, the only way this is going to happen in the near future would be if I won one of the top two prizes.
Getting a pair of Mantises with Obsidian AND Emerald would be amazing, though... Simply amazing...
*dreams*
