Hello people!
my very first UltraSaber came in the mail today and i thought i would add my own opinions on this product and take a few images to show you guys.
ok so when i got my parcel in the mail and i open it, the first thing that was in my mind is how well the saber is packaged in the box, lots of carefully wrapped bubble wrap with a sprinkling of polystyrene packing chips to keep everything in place, so well done to you guys at US for taking the time to do that properly,
ok so now on to the saber itself, obviously the first thing i do is pick the saber up and strait away fall in love with the material and feel of the hilt, so solid and yet smooth and beautiful to look at, i turn on the switch and the saber comes to life with the arctic blue glow, a great colour i have to say, a little greener than the light blue sabers in the films and games but still very nice, i bought it with the UE blade and the weight of the hilt is brilliant with this blade as you can put your finger right at the tip of the emitter and it balances perfectly with the rest of the blade.
let me go through some nice features of this saber with a few pictures below...
the hilt as a whole is beautifully made with a real elegant feel to it, they havent gone mad but putting too many ribs and notches in to its design, just enough to get a good grip on, the length of the saber is also great, just enough for two hands or a hand and a half depending on your preferences.
with or without the light on the saber looks the part...
i would advise anyone getting a UT for the first time to get the blade plug, makes the saber come alive while on a stand or anywhere on show,
towards the bottom of the hilt near the pommel the Prophecy has some nice groves machined into the metal, they are very nice to hold on to especially for a second hand to hold on to on occasions
now lets move to my favorite feature of the saber, the emitter. the emitter is beautifully slanted and smooth to touch, and adorned with 2 brass retainers which goes great with the silver finish of the rest of the hilt.
so overall i was very impressed with my first buy from US and will be buying more in the future, the Prophecy v3 is a brilliant saber, well made and a wonderful thing to own for any saber / SW lover, i would probably give it an 8 out of 10, maybe a 9 if i had got it with sound.
i hope you guys enjoyed my quick review of my first saber from US and if anyone has any questions about the Prophecy V3 i would be happy to try and answer them for you if you were thinking of buying one for yourself.
thanks for reading!
