So my Initiate and Dark Initiate LE came in today... I was aghast with awe.

I'll start with the Initiate:

I got it in Blazing Red in an UltraEdge blade. It's bright, but not blinding, and a very nice, sombre red hue; no yellows or blues, and the pics don't do it enough justice.

A view of the pointed tip

A close-up of the hilt (that's my thumb in the corner ;))

Better dark pic of the blade

Now onto the Dark Initiate, which I got in Guardian Blue  8)

This thing is BRIGHT! It's a nice, cool blue, and unassuming until you turn it on. The hilt is slightly weightier than the Initiate, and a bit longer, which in retrospect is something I thought would be equal, but it doesn't really bother me becuase they are very nearly the same.

Overall, I'm very pleased with my first purchase and plan on ordering from US again. :)

Wow that last pic is trippy! Nice collection!

The archon pommel looks good on there!

Nice sabers. I gotta agree that last pic is trippy. The fading out kinda effect with the blue blade is pretty cool too. Giving me some ideas. ;o

The more photos I see of these things in Guardian Blue, the more I find myself anticipating ordering my son's Prophecy in the same color. Is it Xmas yet?  ;D

Seriously, Guardian Blue is one of the best colors out there (after Consular Green, of course).  It's powerful.

Awesome sabers man!  It's a cool reversal, the silver hilt in red and the black hilt in blue.
