Anakin Reveiw *UPDATE PICTURES!*
« on: September 17, 2005, 01:34:08 PM »
Hello everyone it's your Sith Lord
I have received my Ani a few weeks ago but I was too busy to post it now Im ready! :)

The Introduction
When I first got my Vader I was more than Happy.
Then I wask thinking hey I wonder about Ani, So I got the money and ordered one.
When my Ani got here I was mad because it took UPS till 7 PM  I had no clue lol.
I ran upstair and opened it neatly and there it Was the beautiful blue side of the FX Sabers.
I think the Anakin is a great Saber, Here is why.

The Blade
The Blade Is a Magnificant Blue shine. In photo is seems Extrodinary!
In the Day time the blade is a Dark Blue color I know I know in the photo's you see it's not like that.
In the Night time it's a beautiful LIGHT Blue and it's great for a nightlight :).
So if you see the photos were it looks like a PERFECT Lightblue It's like that but a bit different.
I love the Blade in all.

The Hilt
The Hilt is great!, The fact that some people say it turns off easily Has NEVER happened to me.
One thing that I love about it is that I really Like that it is a NICE plain Hilt and it's Simple.
It's very nice to Hold, the switch that ignites it is a Gold switch which I thought turns on and of like a light switch.
But It really Goes up and down like the Vader.
The Grip details on it are also Great.
It's a thumbs up!

The Sound
The sound is EXTREMLY Loud and clear I love the fact that it has more noises than the Vader.
It has 4 Clash sounds Great pitch changes.
And most of the time the sound is accurate meaning,
Sometimes when you swing it the sound Plays after a second or so
When The Ani is almost always accurate with it's 10 Motion sensors
that beats the Vader ! But it doesn't have a Humming sound as nice as the Vader.\
In all this is also good.

The Comparison
Comparing the blades is very Diffucult I must give the Vader it's UNIQUE sounds.
But then again the Anakins are Louder.
Then the 4 Clash sounds the Ani have and I beleive the Vader only has 1.
The Ani's hilt is a bit clearer the Vader has too Many Gadgets on it, I know
It's a replica from the movie but still :).

The OVERALL
Overall the Anakin FX Lightsaber is GREAT!
With it's unique Hilt and Sounds It makes a great first saber.
I suggest everyone look at the comparison before buying your saber.
Because in the end they both Equal out.
With Ani having more sounds
The Vader has Cooler sounds
There both extrodinary sabers.
The Anakin on my scale is a 8 !!!!!

Your Sith Lord,
psykE (It's been a long time but Im back!)

Welcome back. Good review its always nice to have someone else's opinion on a saber. I believe you have to have both because they are both so different. The Vader is great for just looking at and holding while the Anakin is excellent for practicing moves as well as looking great, but i guess I'm just lucky, soon i will own all the FX Sabers ever produced  ;D ;D ;D ;D.

The Luke ESB is definitely worth having. I would say it is my favorite, you cant beat that classic Graflex style.

Yea, I know
Before I got my Ani or Before I got ANY FX-SABER in fact.
I always wanted the Luke ESB.
The Hilt the blade , The button everything so perfect.
I am coming on to some resources so I might get one VERY Soon hopefully.
I need to rack up some cash quick! :)

Your Sith Lord,

I'm actually trading my second ESB Vader for an ESB Luke, its a great deal i could easily get another Vader if i wanted one but the Luke is rare and worth much more money than he is asking for it without the trade. I will have to inspect it when we trade to make sure its not faulty.

Why are you getting a new Anakin? Is there something wrong with the one you have pictured there?

Yes, if you look under data sheets.
My ani has these little dots, inside the blade lined up about 5-7 inches long.
It doens't show in the picture because of the Camera.
It's not to far up the hilt.
If you have this problem MR will DEFINETLY cover the warranty because they know about this defect
I called them and asked thank's to Lori she said I can KEEP my old one until the new one gets to me.
So Im all happy.
 
Your Sith Lord,
