Hello from DFW

[tx_tuff]

Welcome to the forum from another new guy. I got a mystery box at Comic Con in Houston this year, although just the $75 one. Didn't get lucky enough to get sound.

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on your first 'sabre - an amazing prize!

I'd be delighted if US ran something like this through the website; A greater cost, but much bigger chance of getting something really out of this world!

You mean for "lock up" or in the software where it changes colors during the hum? The answer either way is yes, if not either of those then the answer is a resounding...maybe. Haha. I am however pretty much just going to keep it as one color, and while I like sentinel yellow because I never see much of it on the big screen (or in cosplays) my wife thinks I should keep it either green or blue...or purple. But since I'm not Sam L Jackson I think i'll stick with blue.

The hum thing is Pulse. The other color change on "lock up" is known as Flash on Clash, abbreviated on the forum as FoC.

I'm holding out for a forum color of B+A on an Electrum Wind. I've already had MLS in VA and DVA, but despite looking good, neither is the right shade of purple.

Yeah to get a good non pinkish purple I had to set up a blue with a hint of red... But if I ever wanna be racist black face mace windup for Halloween I guess I know how to set the saber up. Also, I'll never do that.

don't have to do the black paint for people to get the idea who you're playing.
seen a white Mashoan in cosplay....not too shabby.

I fail to see how endeavoring to emulate a character you respect could be construed as racist. I won't post pics because it is frightfully disturbing seeing that much hair on a man, but I'm sure you've seen images of that big hairy dude that shows up at cons dressed _poorly as Wonder Woman. I've never heard anyone call that sexist.

I'm sure that if executed in a manner that signified nothing more than character accuracy no one would bat an eyelash.

I was making a joke, the implied racism is because I said to cosplay as mace windu I would have to go black face which might look comedic but is still regarded in poor taste AFAIK by the black community. Tis a bad joke.

I figured you were, but I also felt that if you had every intent of being respectful, employing makeup to color your skin should not be a source of offense.

we have every race here, almost every facet of the world represented. English, French, Canadian, even us Natives.
those of us that have been here a while know who's who, from where, race, religion, etc. the only part that matters is the love of star wars and lightsabers.
we're a community that's like family to each other...even that weird cousin.

think we had at the inro...or the fact US is in the U.S. plus some of the greeters. but the point was made. we are a rather diverse group of people united under the US product logo.
