THE BEGINNING
My story begins almost 1 year ago when i entered my local Borders story and was confronted with a display stand full of FX'S the Vader ESb immediatly caught my eye, so i had to hold it. As soon as i lifted the weapon i was amazed at how good it felt, it felt so real, the only thing i found dissapointing was the light coulor of the balde becuase it was in very bright light. As soon as i got home i searched for FX sabers on google i found this forum and i instantly joined and started researching which fX i should get first.

AFTER MR RESEARCH
After a long time deciding i strolled into my local Borders store once again and i purchased the Anakin FX and rushed home immediatly to see tear open mt new toy ;)
THE REVIEW
And so my review begins. The first thing that struck me with this lightsaber was the lovley gold emitter detail its one of many details i love on this lightsaber

one of the other aspects i love about this saber is the fantastic brightness and coulor in the blade, it just completly fills the room!

the hilt is very well constructed and has survived a few drops in its time and still has the same glint it had the day i got it
Yet anover superb feature of the hilt is the "cut-off" emitter design it really adds to the sabers overall design

The sound of this saber is ear-splitingly loud, and is fantstic, the only critisism i can come up with is that making the clash sounds can be a bit difficult somtimes
THE VERDICTu]
to conclude this is a fantastic saber with practically zero faults and is a perfect first saber.
COMING SOON: finally i can indulge in the dark side with my Vader ESB review

I think the chrome and the blade is the best part i like about this saber.
the pic with you holding your saber is pretty awesome,how the blade looks almost as if it had the white core.The vader looks sinister
-
i can see all the pics now throughlou.
that pic of you in the hood, is great.
i love my anakin.
-
Jeez, a year in the making, the review could have been longer ...lol
:D
-
Nice review and pics, throughlou.
The Anakin saber is really great. It was my first saber and was the one that got me hooked. I don't have the Obi-Wan yet, so IMO the Anakin is the best all round FX of all. That may change when I get the Obi, though.
The Vader is another of my favourites. The build quality surpasses that of all the others. Good choices.
