I'd love to see a shot with the TORange blade illuminated.  Been thinking of getting one, but I'm torn between purple and orange

I'll try get some snaps of the TORange on its own once I wake up properly and post them for you :)

We're torn between purple and orange too.  LUMI=purple, MACE=orange :D ;D.

Thanks for a great review Dave.  As always, you are such a pleasure to work for :).

Thanks Lumi :)

Oh, and you know how you can solve that right? Purple blade VS Orange blade in the VV household with a duel to end all duels :D

@Dave now you know why orange is my favorite color. Vaders vault TORange does not dissapoint at all! I actually have pictures of there TORange up against my Seoul P4 Orange blade MR Yoda, the difference is very noticeable. The p4 gives a subtle orange and the TORange is like a deep FIRE Orange almost like a lit candle. Ill post my review later on the color differences ill save ya the trouble  ;D

It's all good, I have the day off work today so I have a bit of time at home :D However, I'd still love to see your review of the colour differences!

Unfortunately, you're never going to get a great picture of the TORange blade on camera :( You'll just have to trust me that it looks amazing in person ;) The purple however, shows up really nicely :)

Once again...damn this iPhone! :(

Oh, and talk about an optical illusion...the last pic...the blades are the same size ;)

Holy Crap, are they really as bright as they seem?  Or is it just a trick of the camera?

No trick, they're super bright! :)

I've tried to pick one as being brighter than the other, I really can't decide. They're both as bright as each other in my opinion.

awesome sabers man, i, too am waiting for my Torange Havoc. Maybe it might be waiting for me at home when i'm finished with this business trip. Can't wait to get home. I went with OSPP at first but seeing so many complimenting on new Torange, i had change of heart at last moment and of course Alan had no problem with my change request. This is why VV rocks!!!

Thanks mate :) indeed VV do rock  8)
I'd say you made a good choice with the TORange, but like I said, you can't go wrong either way! :D

You're gonna love the Havoc :) congrats and enjoy!

Just arrived home late last night and saw the Havoc and Torange for the first time and i'm very pleased with everything. I'm also a rookie in art of spinning but can't think of better stunt to start with like Dave316 mentioned. They just feel right in ur hands with great weight distribution.  Maybe i might have to swoop up the Fury also.  Which one do u like better Dave?

I honestly can't decide :D they are both amazing, and have their own slight advantages over the other in their own way. These are my personal views remember, and you may feel different about them:
Havoc - I'm a huge fan of the pommel, it adds that "perfect" balance to the saber whilst spinning.
Fury - the smoothness of the body of the hilt makes for this to have the perfect spinning area for your hand/s. Nothing at all to get in your way whilst spinning, lots of freedom and a comfortable grip. The Havoc "locks" your hand/s in for a great grip, whereas you get that extra freedom with the Fury.

Honestly, it's definitely worth getting a second and going with the Fury. You won't be disappointed ;)

I chose Havoc for the pommel also. it just has that unique look i haven't seen on any other sabers.

Just curious...

I was wondering what type of LED was used in these builds ? I want to make some of my own.  Also... I was wondering if there is a tutorial on how to make a stunt saber with recharge & illuminated switch ????   

LOVE THE SABERS !  VV always manages to set there blasters to STUN !!!   :)

3w RGB LEDs. No idea how to go about making them :D I'm sure someone will chime in on some stunt building help.

Ladies and gentlemen...the powers of two combine to equal.......MY FIRST EVER SABER STAFF! :D

Lights on, sabers off:


Lights on, sabers on, camera flash on:


Lights on, sabers on, camera flash off:


Finally.....lights OFF, sabers on: 8)


This weapon is HUGE, definitely takes some getting used to as it's the first time I've held a staff. Keeping in mind too that these stunts can fit INSIDE MHS...and they only have 32" blades. A full sized saber staff with 36" blades would be insane! This is the right size for me though :)

Very cool! :) I didn't realise that the VV stunt sabers could combine like that.
