Awesome! Can't wait to see it on that stand.

I know, right?!!?

I do have to say that when the chamber is revealed, the saber does not stay straight really, so I may not be able to display it "open". The display maker is sending me 2 sets of arms tho, one that will hold it at a wider area, and one at the 7.5" I was asking you about. I'm hoping it'll still work, but if it stays closed always when displayed thats no biggie.

Love that OT look with the thin neck and emitter. Very nice! yup, that Exhalted is gorgeous, LOVE the weathered version of it. If I didn't feel so inclined to go film-based, that would've probably been my purcahse because I bet its great for swinging/movement/dueling!

I find the grip to be great honestly. Swinging is a bit different with the box, but it can be done and probably learned to do relatively well. ONE thing I noticed and I'll go over it in my vid review (posting tomorrow) is that the control box is NOT centered on the body. It's purposefully slightly off, and the only reason I can think is when watching SF review vids where they talk about changes to the control box so it is more comfortable to the hand.

I would probably rather 2 hand this, but that's also because of the weight of that 37" blade.

Thinking about that VV blade.... lighten it up and easier to carry for cosplay.
