I want either:
Darth Vader Lightsaber Ep V FX
or
Darth Maul Force FX Lightsaber - Battle Damaged Single-Bladed
Just wanted to see if anyone owns both and can give their opinions about them. My personal preference would be that it had a bright glow and excellent sound effects. Not worried about dueling with it, just wanting something that takes pics well and that is certainly going to be excellent for RP.
Unless there is another company that has more options for Red Lightsabers.

I have both and I haven't been disappointed by them.
Both are very good sabers, the blade on the Maul seems a lot thicker than the others. But both are a good buy, it all depends one which one you want the most.
The Vader ESB is my favorite.

First off let me say welcome to the Jedi Archives on Force-FX.com, and thank you for joining.
I own both and here are my pros and cons for them my Sith ally.
Darth Vader ESB FX:
Pros:
- Good blood red blade, perfect Sith blade.
- The sound is darker and more evil than all the others, especially the idle hum. It sounds just like the movie. Fearsome.
- The hilt has great detail and is truly a MR of the Vader
ESB.
Cons:
- When wielding the ESB Vader it is often accidental shut off from bad placing of the blade emitter.
- The ESB Vader tends to make swinging sounds when not moved at all. I'm not sure why.
Darth Maul TPM FX:
Pros: - Thick red blade
- Good upper hilt design for easy spins
- Decent sound
Cons: - Tough on bare hands
- Blade isn't as red as the Vader
- Sounds are a little more piercing than deep and dark.
So based on this you can kinda get an idea of what to expect. The ESB Vader is my favorite. It's truly the best Sith blade made yet. It's way better than the Maul in my opinion.

Thank you for the welcome and especially the Lightsaber info. I was leaning torwards the Vader design. I have also been looking at Ultrasabers.com and was wondering how a MR would compare with what Ultrasabers has.

^^ the first link is a Master replicas vader ESb with a silver emitter the next two are custom hilts.. with NO SOUND (not that there's anything wrong with that) =========== to answer your first question, I'd get the Vader. or the double-maul; but not the single-maul. why? the current model Vader ESB is going to be replaced with a new model Vader ANH in about three weeks --> the current model will become rare and expensive. get it while you can. the Maul is not well suited to a "single" saber hilt, the buttons get in the way and there's no intuitive "grip" to place your hand. its awesome as a double-saber, though. if you get a maul, then get the double-blade version. its worth it. (and its not going anywhere any time soon; its still a "curent" model there are no plans to discontinue it) ( but vader ESB will be gone by next month) |

Hi Darth Bijak!!
Welcome to the forum !! I would get the vader esb first and if you really like that saber then you can sink a little more money for the double maul fx. Both are great sabers and will serve you well!!Now as for the ultra sabers I've seen the pics that you had and one is the stunt saber with no sound and the other is a vader esb made into a anakin aotc.I know that the anakin does have a sound board. ok if you want a saber which is for dueling and being able to wear the hilt on your side then the ultra saber is the way to go my friend. This saber is to me the coolest one that I've ever bought. I bought an obi-wan rots ultra saber with a guardian blue blade and I love it. It's not ony brite;but; the sound is louder too. Anyway I hope this helps you a lot.DaJoQuim

No one to duel around here unless I buy one for my cat and strap it to his back. Chasing him around the house swinging at him doesn't seem to fun though. But to be honest I doubt I upgrade it initially, maybe after I've had it awhile.
