I know that it's a matter of taste, however I'm not a fan. I can picture in silver, or two tone. The acrylic claws make it look too much like a kids toy. That's just my 2 cents. I do appreciate the innovative idea behind it.
As kids we all want to to be Jedi. It's only when we grow up we realize that the Sith are much cooler.

Wow. Very nice! They'll sell a ton of these. Customizable colors for the claws also? Yep, done deal. ;)

No thanks, It feels more like a Hasbro than a battle saber.

I love the fact that SF sabers look like something that would actually be weilded on the field. With this one I just get a toy vibe.

I was tempted at first by the offer to get a champion apprentice saber in exchange for a photoshopped pic of the Frost Lotus... but who am I kidding? I'd have trouble finding an appropriate background image without copyright issues, and I'm not that great with teh pixels anyway.

Gojira101 may be the first Buyer to stumble upon this New Colour Mix by accident with his incoming Hero SP 6/6/12.
I wonder if anyone has tried simply putting in a single 0A/0B tint Cree XP-L HI instead of mixing two white and two blue XB-D emitters. The XP-L should have more output and better focus, and the 0-tint emitters are pretty strikingly blue-white. (likewise, an 8* tint or their special 2200K bin could make a nice yellow or amber blade)
This is not the post you're looking for.

Looks like I'm picking up another LED at least if they make it available. I love the idea of the Frost Blue.

You could always order a LED and request in the order comments that it be for a royal blue and white Hero LED, as as a SF CSR informed Kouri of in the past.

I have to agree with Darth Ttocs on this one. While it is indeed very pretty, I don't get that 'battle hardened' vibe from it like I do my Venomous Fury or most of the other sabers. This one just seems impractical to me, like the other sabers with the claws on them.

But it is indeed very pretty and would make a great shelf trophy.

I feel like if they went with aluminum claws powder coated blue or polished super shiny silver like the accents on the body instead of the acrylic it wouldn't have a "toy" quality about it.

I can definitely see it working with various crossover cosplays. Perhaps a Lin Kuei Jedi?

They come with silver claws for dueling and the acrylic claws for display.

Indeed the frozen is strong with this saber, Mrs Isherwood had nothing but notes for me when we finished it. Turns out she wants a dif style body and for the finish PC white with weathering and a light grey wrap, she wants the next one to be something a white walker in GOT would use.

I hear what your saying about the claws but I think they look really cool, this might be one of those sabers you have to hold to appreciate but it made me want to do a run of polycarbonate claws.

Its not so crazy to think that you could have a saber with plasma claws, the flat profile shape of the dark saber shows that the magnetic containment field can be calibrated to produce a non tubular shape.

I believe I would be too scared to duel with the saber. I'd hate to damage it by accident! I would be very excited to use it for cosplay/display, though.
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
