Box contents and disassembly for Hunter Combat Saber
Padawan Outpost obviously guarantees that its goods arrive intact since it packages them meticulously. Along with a wrapped Xenopixel blade, the hilt came in its own unique packaging that packed along in a bigger box. Given the box was delivered to my US address from the UK, I was fairly surprised with shipping, which was rather swift with the saber delivered a few days earlier than projected.
Beyond the hilt and blade, the box included a charger cord, a micro-SD USB flash drive, the required screws and Allen wrench to both screw and unscrew the Xenoppixel blade and remove the internal core of the saber. Found on Padawan Outpost's website as well, the Lightsaber includes an instruction booklet outlining the several uses and capabilities of the Xenoppixel blade.
Hunter Combat Saber is Bluetooth Enabled.
Although mastering the several button clicks would surely be helpful, the Xenop Pixel blade also has Bluetooth enabled with its own app. This speeds up and simplifies customizing greatly. Along with all the wanted effects and blade igniting techniques, I could select particular colors using the app.
Additionally available on the app is the selection and cycling of all the preset sound fonts. I thus had a great time choosing my preferred blade colors and browsing all the several fonts and ignition techniques. Collecting Disney/Hasbro Lightsabers, which are objectively less bright and provide considerably less customizing choices than Xenoppixel sabers does, is honestly difficult for me to get enthused about.
Hilt Overview of Lightsaber
Zeroing in on the hilt by itself, Padwan Outpost's original design really caught me. Like many lightsabers seen on-screen, the Hunter Saber has a typical slanted emitter as well as the pommel reminiscent of Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber found in the Skywalker series. Thus, although not being based on any one figure, the general appearance absolutely feels like a classic Star Wars lightsaber hilt.
The Hunter Saber is incredibly light even with the blade attached. This fits fast counters and quick swings really nicely. It also means that it's ideal for anybody trying to hone their "Ani-Obi" lightsaber spins as observed in Revenge of the Sith. Seeing as how multiple blade designs, colors, and effects are triggered by combinations of short and long button presses and motion controls, accessing the full spectrum of the lightsaber's remarkable features is a bit of a learning curve—that one activation button. That there is an app for the Hunter Combat Saber, nevertheless, also thrilled me.
Many choices for colors, sounds, and light sabers ignitions.
Once I understood the several settings, including Multi-Block, I really felt like a Jedi Knight in my own living room blocking approaching blasterfire with a very vivid blue sword. The gesture controls are likewise lots of fun. Rather than depending just on the activation button every time, a basic thrust forward or twist of the hilt can switch the blade off and on.
Seeing as how they have never been displayed on-screen in the Star Wars chronology (and most likely never will), the Xenoppixel sword also boasts shockingly unexpected ignitions and sound fonts. Still, some of the hippest I've ever seen are ignition techniques like Static and Warp Mode. Especially as you can also go online and upload your own sound fonts via the internal SD card, it really shows just how creative you can get with a custom Xenoppixel saber. One of Padawan Outpost's partners, Kyberphonics provides a full selection of sound fonts that go with different saber colors and ignition techniques.

Though my most recent one caused an interesting issue, I enjoy gathering Star Wars lightsaber replicas. One of the most recognizable sci-fi weapons in the Star Wars series, the lightsaber is "elegant weapon for a more civilized age". For this reason, Star Wars collectors now have access to a variety of both official and custom lightsabers, which constantly improving.
From toy sabers with telescoping blades I possessed as a 6-year-old to replica Legacy Lightsabers bought at Galaxy's Edge, my collection of lightsabers was mostly comprised of official Disney/Hasbro items. But due to UK retailer Padawan Outpost, who just acquired one of their best-selling Hunter Combat Sabers, I have at last plunged my toes into the fascinating realm of custom Neopixel lightsabers. Now, seeing just how amazing and adaptable Neopiexel Combat Sabers are has me really concerned I will never be able to go back.
