These look great!  The Manticore is one of my favorites (to look at, I don't have one).  But the Dark Shock looks really cool.  I don't remember seeing any other than the one on the sale site.  I find that a lot of sabers people post pictures of look better in the user pictures than they do on the Ultra Sabers site.  That is definitely the case with the Dark Shock.  I hope the two of you enjoy your duals!

Prowl 1701, count me in for the low profile Manticore pommel fan club.

I agree about the Dark Shock, when I ordered it I was thinking "okay, just a cool simple saber," and then I actually got it and I was blown away. The pictures on the site don't do these sabers justice.

Another light side point for a Maticore owner.

I have to admit, I really like mine.  I got the full length UEMG blade (not the 40" though) & I like the blanace, but I am 5' 10" with large hands & it fits well, & in VA with BH FoC.  It is quite interesting & it sure is bright.  I recently purchased a MLS unit in AS with BR FoC & installed it.  Using some Lee Filters & some US discs you can make some really cool color combinations.  But, the green variants look really good especially with the windows in the emitter (thus another reason I gave you a point).  I have the high profile pommel, but I got a guardian pommel with the MLS unit & the guardian pommel adds a little wieght that I like & gives the Manticore a real MEAN look.  Excellent review, enjoy your new addiction!

Have you held a Shock? It's surprisingly comfortable to hold definitely get one. I like it. It feels nice and solid in my hands

I have not yet held a Shock, Sciggs. So far, my only US is the Manticore in GB/AS FoC which I dearly love. The Shock SE, all alum, is more than likely going to be my next US. Most likely in AB. I know I would also love AS as a main color choice as well. Good thing for me I have plenty of time to decide. I love the Prophecy hilt too. I love ALL the US hilts!

I'm gladly going to go bankrupt in my pursuit of all sabers US.

I absolutely loved my Dark Shock so much, I ended up ordering another one! Now, I can dual wield them or staff it up  Grin

Since these shots, I have changed the covertec wheels out for silver ones. I like the look even more.

Wish I had a better camera, because they look even more awesome  Cheesy

Manticore and Dark Shock love all around...

That is a beautiful staff, Darth Ryga

And Spike, I'm going bankrupt over this too and don't regret a thing. I'm looking in the couch for change...

Glad to know I'm not the only one...the couch, the car, outside in the garage...I'm probably going to quit smoking just to just by my consular, and manticore nevermind the wife and kids sabers. Why does US have to be so awesome?
