throughlou's review 1 year in the making lol REWRITTEN 12/12/06
« on: November 04, 2006, 04:57:22 AM »
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
sig removed, ...animation not allowed

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.
