Title: Archon v2 Review Post by: Heimdall on May 18, 2013, 02:40:51 AM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQs4ztOyI2g
Standard Archon v2 hilt, pommel, and emitter. Bane's Heart color "crystal". No sound. Hey everyone. This is my first lightsaber, not counting the plastic toys from when I was growing up lol, and my very first Ultrasaber. I am in absolute love with it. It's fantastic. The color is beautiful and vibrant, no matter if the lights are on or off. This definitely won't be my last saber, as I already have three others in mine that I am wanting. I've never reviewed something like this before, so I really didn't know what to say, lol. I hope it's sufficient. I do plan on ordering a different kind of emitter so that I can get creative with it. Well, thanks for watching and thanks for reading! Title: Re: Archon v2 Review Post by: Zren Tobas on May 18, 2013, 04:31:13 AM Nice. I'd keep that emitter on though. That's just me. We need to see your saber with blade pictures on. Lol. I don't think I've seen an Archon in Bane's heart yet.

It's a great saber, huh? And Bane's Heart also! Not a color I see very often, especially on this model.

And Bane's Heart also! Not a color I see very often, especially on this model. It is truly awesome. I'm very happy for it to be my first saber. Well, I was originally going to get Sunrider's, but then I found out about the "secret forum" colors. Had to get it once I saw it. Quite pleased with my decision. :) Title: Re: Archon v2 Review Post by: Darth Ryga on May 18, 2013, 10:15:56 AM Nice saber Heimdall! Bane's Heart is a nice touch too. :)
Also, if you didn't already know, if you do want to change the emitter, keep in mind the neck will have to be removed too. Enjoy! :D Title: Re: Archon v2 Review Post by: Heimdall on May 18, 2013, 06:23:05 PM Nice saber Heimdall!

Enjoy! :D Thank you. :) Indeed, I've decided against it. I'm just going to leave it the way it is, it's amazing that way. Title: Re: Archon v2 Review Post by: Zren Tobas on May 19, 2013, 03:34:31 AM That's actually a pretty good blade shot. What shutter speed did you have on? I usually have mine set for 1.3 for saber stills now. Like if your camera has a shutter speed option put it at 1.3, ISO to 800 with the F button on.
Title: Re: Archon v2 Review Post by: Zren Tobas on May 19, 2013, 03:36:54 AM Oh and probably about the best Bane's Heart shot I've seen in a good long awhile. :P

Bane's Heart is an awesome color. I have it as the flash color on 3 sabers. I'm thinking that my next saber will have that, as its main color :DHave fun with your Archon! I love mine, and I'm sure you'll feel the same ;D Title: Re: Archon v2 Review Post by: Heimdall on May 19, 2013, 11:44:38 PM That's actually a pretty good blade shot.

Thank you guys for the compliments. I've been playing with it all weekend, lol. Twirling it around the house and what not. I actually used the camera on my iPhone for all of the pictures, so..take that as you will, lol. Title: Re: Archon v2 Review Post by: Zren Tobas on May 20, 2013, 01:47:09 AM I should try taking some pictures of my sabers lit propped up on a door like that just to see how they turn out.

Wouldn't hurt anything. I'm sure everyone would like to see them. Title: Re: Archon v2 Review Post by: Drake on May 20, 2013, 08:57:02 AM hilt looks fantastic

I know there are still some complaints on the innards if you have Obsidian with it and all. I'm thinking of getting one myself to get more up there in the stunt line of sabers.
Title: Re: Archon v2 Review Post by: eerockk on May 21, 2013, 03:41:05 PM A beautiful thing, Heimdall! You were right about the Bane's Heart! It's amazing in that color!

I know there are still some complaints on the innards if you have Obsidian with it and all. I'm thinking of getting one myself to get more up there in the stunt line of sabers. I have been dueling with friends over the weekend, as the weather sucked and we were stuck inside lol, and it held up quite nicely. Even after accidentally dropping it a few times, on carpet of course, and it's still working fine. I didn't get it with sound, so I can't tell you on that aspect. Thanks! I love it, definitely not regretting it. :) Title: Re: Archon v2 Review Post by: Master Bluespike74 on May 21, 2013, 11:14:51 PM Glad to see another Archon wielder on here and Bane's Heart is the very best color one can get outside of the Blues. My next QD LED's are going to be Bane's Heart for sure. It is a very unique and rich color for one to own.
I bought two with sound and let me tell you, those things are no problems at all. The tighter space does not allow anything to work loose and I have been recommending Archon's to everyone wanting a very first saber because there is so much you can do with them. Title: Re: Archon v2 Review Post by: B1ondeange1 on May 22, 2013, 04:25:53 AM congrats on the new saber! the archon is a beautiful hilt isn't it? I very much love mine! sigh one day I might even get around to doing a review

I very much love mine! sigh one day I might even get around to doing a review Thank you! Yes, it's amazing. The moment I saw it I knew that it would be my first saber. And the fact that I chose the color that I did makes it all the more better. They honestly go amazingly well together. |
