What can I say about this one... :o 8) :D 8) :o
Well let's start with thank you so very much guys.
The GL mythos has always been a particular favorite of mine... A group of individuals as diverse as the universe they protect, coming together for a common good. Not unlike the Jedi Order in many ways. I also love the concept that the power a Green Lantern wields is limited only by their imagination, focus, and most of all WILL.
When I approached Gemini Concepts about this saber I knew I the project was in good hands, given their considerable talents. But when Master Jedye PM'd me and I learned what a huge GL fan he was.... well, I knew then that I hit the jackpot. The process of development/communication on this saber was an absolute joy for me.
One of the first things MJ asked me was if I wanted this saber to reflect a particular GL... to which I responded, "1 part Hal Jordan / 1 part Kilowog". Shaken well and served neat equals AWESOME! The Emerald Knight, for me.. carries the " Go where Angels fear to tread nature of Hal, mixed seamlessly with the "Daddy's Here Poozers!" nature of Kilowog. 8) And beyond that I think is a wonderful representation of the GLC as a whole.
Needless to say, I am very eager to take this saber for a test drive.
Again, Mogo sized thanks to Master Jedye and Chewbacca of Gemini Concepts for all their hard work on this saber. You guys truly have gone above and beyond on this one fellas.
Also thanks to Arkai for your amazing stand and GL badge saberplug! By the way, that part of this project is a total surprise to me... and a most welcome one! ;D
And lastly thanks to Ri-On for the quartz crystal used in this mastepiece!
