Darth vader ANH Force Fx Lightsaber Video

The Story:
When DHL rang my door to deliver my Vader I felt a evil disturbance in the force.
I naturally could not wait to open the lightsaber up and try it.
As soon as I shoved in the battery I felt the power of a force choke and was rendered unconscious.
When I awoke there was a video cam laying beside me and a Evil voice calling to me to watch edit and upload it..
What I seen when I watched the video gave me a chill down my spine..
It showed a Sith lord from the old republic named Darth Nihilus once thought dead to be alive and well.
I could feel the evil as I watched this Hooded with with skull mask swing around Lord Vader`s Lightsaber..
There was no time to waste I did not want to get this Sith Lord mad,I was lucky he let me life,even if it was only to edit his video..
So I did as he wished and finished the video and uploaded to youtube.
I just hope he don`t come back again..

The blade:
The blade is Very even and very Bright

The Sound:
 Louder then all other Sith MR Force Fx
The idle hum sounds SO sweet amped up so loud,like massage for the ears.


The hilt:
The hilt is very nice looking and feeling,it sure is solid and quite heavy

The motion detection:
The morion detecting continues to get batter with new MR Force Fx,just like the Yoda this baby is just about dead on,and no phantom sounds.


The power button:
I love the power button,not once did it get inadvertently turned off mid spin..


Vader ESB VS Vader ANH:
I would MUCH rather have this ANH Vader then the old ESB.
The blade is brighter and thicker,and it is way louder.
It also feels SO real,its about what I would imagine a Vader LE hilt would feel like..


The Vader with other sabers:

My final thoughts:
This saber is a MUST have,I give it a 9 out of 10 easy.

The idle hum seems incredibly loud is it noticably more so than on the ESB or is that just the way the sound was being picked up?

No its about twice as loud as the ESB Vader.
The hum is my fav thing about the saber,
It louder then the Maul as well,basically like I said in the review,its the loudest sith saber yet.

Very Cool Kit 8)

Can you possibly verify the Hilt diameter compared to the Vader ESB for us?

I'm sure there will be some of these there at C4 to use for the Competitions :)

Very nice indeed.  :o
I am going to have to pick one of these up sometime soon.  ;)

Does the new Vader ANH have the 'spring' detail in the emitter like the previous one?

I don`t have a ESB Vader anymore,or I would NP.

Yes this would be a great saber to use in the Trials,but due to its weight,I will probably use 2 of these..
But I really hope they have the Lukes by then.
I can`t believe its March 1st C4 here we come!!!

Look down in there Kit http://www.graflexshop.com/images/msock3_lg.gif
You'll see a small spring running around the emitter ;)

Yep, that's the one I was asking about , Yoda.  ;)

I always thought it was a great little detail, and it would be a shame if they left it out on the new release.

I def want one of these, and also the Luke ANH when it is released.
I think I may even leave them stock, rather than converting them like I have with almost all my other sabers.

Great review for a great saber! I already own a Vader ESB and wasn't planning on getting another but I think I just might have to! :)
