I will start my review of the Crystal Reveal Redeemer with one word: Awesome!!!
This has been a highly anticipated saber for me as I am a Huge Obi Wan Fan. I really hope they do the standalone film
First off the saber is gorgeous. Great finish( chose standard) (sorry for the lack of Pictures, I will upload later , I promise)
Saber is very comfortable to hold and swing, no sharp edges, box does not bother me like I thought it would. I got the BB RR on the LED since I got the hero edition. This way I can color mix and change sound fonts. Saber is plenty loud and clear as well. Love the shade of blue as well. The crystal chamber is clean and well worth it.
My only 2 complaints I have and these are minor:
1) It did get dinged in shipment but not major, I was able to fill it in with a sharpie
2) Position of the Aux switch: 180 degrees opposite the control box. Had I known I would have requested the switch in place of one of the greeblies...
I would have to give this a 9.5 out of 10. Great work Saberforge. Pictures to come soon....
Update: Pictures Finally
First up is Darth Bear Posing with the hilt
Next is photo of the Aux Switch
Lit up, a little over exposed
Crystal Chamber Awesomness!!!!
Red Crystal Chamber & Blade
The final one surprised me. This is a comparison of the Redeemer spark 2 driven with BB RR die on Bottom and on the top is a Luke RTOTJ MHS CF Driven Hilt with a BBW Tri Cree using an ultraedge thin walled blade. Picture looks like the CF is a little brighter but to my eyes they look identical. Nice and even. Wow!!!!
Ok played around with settings on spark and they are now pretty much neck in neck;) (pardon the pun)
Saberforge Redeemer on the top.
Thanks for Looking. Awesome work Saberforge!!!!!!
