So I was told to come here and write a review of my recent purchase, The Dark Monarch.
Blazing Red / Heavy Grade Blade with Obsidian sound.
This Lightsaber is absolutely amazing. From the craftsmanship of the hilt to the internal wiring and soldering, I am truly impressed. I really appreciate the extra time put in to heat shrink every splice, and securing the obsidian sound board and batteries. There is absolutely no rattle or loose components when swinging this lightsaber at full speed.


From the grip with the heavy grade blade, the lightsaber feels top heavy. However, when wielded from the choke (picture below) it feels as if you could bludgeon your enemy to death with it. Wink

I was very impressed with the Center of Balance (picture below) of the lightsaber. Makes swordplay much easier and lessens strain on the wrist when wielding. But remember this is with the Heavy Grade blade, and I have not tried the mid-grade blades.

OMG!  Very NICE!  Once I get my grab bag and everything, this will be my next saber purchase.  I have been torn between this one and the Glaive one, but keep coming back to this one.  It reminds me of Darth Sidious' lightsaber only a little longer in the grip.  I love it.  Definetly want the obsidian sound and the nickle finish!  This saber ROCKS!  I was amazed to see the balance of this thing in your photos, impressive....most impressive!

Nice purchase! The Monarch has a certain Sidious look to it. I love the emitter, and the choke sections look like they could be pretty comfy. Any Sith would be glad to have that blade at their side.

I have a regular (nickle plated) Monarch and can attest that everything in this review concerning the quality also goes for my model. It is a fantastic piece.

I reccomend getting an illuminated AV switch as it really tops off the saber. Of course it is not so great if you will be changing LED colors as having the switch and blade mach is what you would be going for I think.

I don't think this hilt has the ability to have a cover tech knob attached. But I am sure that you can ask for it in the comments section of your order form.
