Hello all!
I received my Redeemer the other day! I ordered this back in June off of the main site. I don’t have an exact count of the days or anything, but I received it in about 9 or 10 weeks—which is not bad at all. I ordered this Redeemer as a Warrior Tier (I’m kind of regretting not getting sound, but I ordered this as more or less a shelf queen so at the time sound didn’t enter the equation for me). After mulling over which shade of blue I would go with, I decided on Artic Blue 12w+. The Artic blue is a very beautiful shade of blue, it’s more on the lighter shade of blue but not too light. I already have Medium blue in my Avenger so I wanted something different—it was exactly what I was hoping it would be.
The interesting part is that the Redeemer was never really on my most wanted list of sabers until after I got my Avenger at the beginning of summer. I had read some articles about the possibilty of them making a Obi-Wan stand alone movie that would take place between episodes 3 & 4 (I’m hoping they make it!)— then I started seeing a bunch of Redeemer reviews popping up—and all of sudden this saber began calling to me. As a big fan of Luke’s ROTJ saber it’s no wonder I had to have this one too.
I have to say this saber is exquisite. I think the color combination on this hilt is what nailed it for me—Silver, Gold, Black, and Copper make it absolutely stunning—and it’s a thin neck! The craftsmanship is remarkable , my saber arrived in perfect condition—I didn’t notice any blemishes on it at all. The Redeemer is definitely the biggest & heaviest of all my sabers, but it does not pose any problems while swinging it around. I did change one thing on it however, (I took this from OvrcAHst)—I replaced the black covertech knob with a brass one—I just think it “pops” more, gives it a much nicer look! Anyway enough rambling---here’s my pics---thanks for looking.
