So I need me a curved hilt saber, but the emitter on the Mantis doesnt really do it for me. I'd love to see some customizations others have done pm the Mantis, particularly for the emitter. US did a fine job with the saber and its great, but it just doesnt speak to me as it is. I'd LOVE to see a curved hilt Scorpion, or the scorpon emitter on a mantis, even though I know that wouldnt be an exact fit. A reaper emitter could be cool too. I'd love to just discuss ideas and customizations for the mantis I eventually plan to get. I'm probably going to get it in red or blue, or maybe with a QD so I can switch it from red to blue and back again. It'd be really cool if I could get it in purple and install a second button thatd cycle the colors.

I think a Dark Arbiter emitter would look sweet actually <3 But I just love the rounded type emitters so Or a Manticore CE emitter even. This is giving me ideas now The stock blade depth looks kinda deep though so the retention screw dents might show uup above the Dark Arbiter emitter x.x

Firehand can chime in on this one for you if he don't mind and has the time. Was a joy to handle one in person

The Archon V2 emitter works pretty well in my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Feelin the same way, myself. Almost bought a curved Reaper at FanX this month, but decided it was too skinny and "tube like" for my taste. I'm thinking of the Mantis with a Menace emitter would be pretty slick.

I already asked to buy a curved reaper but they said its convention only. My Reaper has been modified a lot too and I cut some parts off, so I'd need to do that on a curved model too, but still, a curved reaper would have some character and be more of a saber for me. I actually very much like the feel and look of the Reaper once the windowed emitter part has been removed and the claw joined to the silver shroud.

I fully customized the Mantis I got for my wife, leaving just the curve, sleeve, and the electronics, but we were quite happy with the results!

Thats looking pretty cool, not bad. I think I might just end up having to wait til they make the curved reaper available for online ordering....
