I'd like to see more original designs too. Though, I might be slightly biased, as the majority of my collection are Ultrasabers Originals, with only a handful of "replicas." Original designs are what set companies apart, more so than who can better replicate an existing design.
Plus, maybe some updates to existing original designs. The Standard Issue, Liberator and Prophecy are all stuck in the V3s, which are fine but they can't even take an Obsidian and an Emerald at the same time. The only one of those where length is an issue is the Prophecy, but a redesign could fix that. The other two (and all the V3s) simply lack the electronics space due to how deeply bored the end of the hilt is.
Agreed, with all of this. I would like new original designs along with updates to the V3 original designs like the SI, Libby, and Prophecy sabers. |

Exactly this. I've wanted an Emerald w/ sound Prophecy forever. I know Diamond could do the job, but I haven't been impressed by that controller. |

The emphasis was supposed to be on "easily". I've seen replica sabers made, so obviously they can be manufactured. But one thing that makes Ultrasabers so great is that they don't cost an arm and a leg, 2 mortgages, and your first born. The problem I have with all the replicas US has been cranking out is that in order to offset costs from producing them, they have raised the costs of lesser sabers. (There are probably other reason mixed in, but I'm not opening that can-o-worms.) Keep that in mind when you're demanding more replicas. US has a reputation to uphold by producing combat sabers. So when they produce a replica it has to be combat grade. Otherwise some net loser will end up butt hurt and start ranting on YouTube that US turns out falsely advertised products despite forewarnings that particular models are not combat grade.
I miss the good ol' days when replicas were few, and the menu was dominated by original designs.
I would love some more angled hilts, and the Dooku would be a good starting point. Again like I said they could go the same Route as Hasbro and create an angled saber instead of the curved hilt. They've already proved that they can make an angled saber with the Mantis. Now an angled Reaper or Scorpion would be cool. All of the sabers I suggested can be made combat ready. I'd like to see more original designs too. Though, I might be slightly biased, as the majority of my collection are Ultrasabers Originals, with only a handful of "replicas." Original designs are what set companies apart, more so than who can better replicate an existing design.

The other two (and all the V3s) simply lack the electronics space due to how deeply bored the end of the hilt is.
I could go for some more original designs, but I would still like some replica sabers too. I do agree that the Standard Issue, Liberator and Prophecy could use an upgrade, maybe even some new color options, especially for the silver versions. I need me some black, gold, red, or blue grooves. |

The Dark / Standard Issue is a great saber but could definitely use a makeover to make it more interesting.

I would love to see the SIs have a simple 15-20° R6" bend put in them. That way we could get a legit curved hilt. Simple and beautiful.  |

I would like to see the SIs with either the V4 or the V5 grip sections and some new changes like deep grooves or some other design so it won't look like a pipe.

Can we please NOT make every model balloon up to massive proportions.... I like hilts like the Prophecy specifically BECAUSE they're smaller, which I prefer... |

Also I wish ultrasabers would get better motion sensors. The market has stepped there game up and ultrasabers needs to step there's up as well..motion detection is very important when swinging your saber around. I expect ultrasabers to want to be at the top of the market..so do it!

The Prophecy is such a beautifully sized saber. And, I'm even a big dude, but that doesn't mean I want sabers the size of the Scorpion. |

Almost all of their hilts are obnoxiously too big..they are incredibly built and look amazing so don't get me wrong on that. I just wish they were more movie proportionate and not so huge

Agreed. One of the many reasons why all of my spinning sabers are original designs, they're not as big as the canon sabers |

Even my Dark Sentinel and Dom V4 are a tad bigger than I'd prefer. I won't even consider some hilts I otherwise would be into, because they're absolutely massive. I love the Reaper as a Sith saber design, but I don't want one because it's huge. I like that there's a few 12" and under hilts besides just the Initiate/Apprentice hilts.
