These? These are for Role-Playing, so no plaques or anything. Not even made of metal.

Boy, if you actually go to SSC's site and do a quick search, amazing what you can find.

Yea, but when he talks about plaques and such, LARP-weapons don't really come to my mind.

I was thinking he meant replicas made of stainless steel or carbon-steel.

Do you mean the range of LOTR swords that Weta are currently doing?

 

[Boromir]

He's talking about the swords from Sideshow latest newsletter.
Actually those are LARP swords made by Museum Replikas.

Sorry for the confusion...These are the swords i refer too...Guess this answers my main question .Thanks for the info

Was kinda thinking the quality whilst not same as UC swords may be good enough to display?

 

[DarthChrisDK]

Nah, I really doubt that they will look any cool up close. But as the title says "LARP" - Live Action Role-Playing.

These weapons have been forged with the sole purpose of vanquishing nerds.

I don't think they'll look good as a collectible display piece judging by the website pics.

But they look like they will make excellent birthday gifts for enthusiastic kids...certainly much better quality than your toys r us toy swords (museum replicas for all thir cork ups are still an adult collectible replica making company) I can imagine kids/kiddults totally enjoying swinging these around in the back yard.

I have the im arc reactor by museum replica. It looked good in the photo but when I actually got it it was absolute crap. I think you better off getting the uc brand, they do make full sized versions too.

And their regular line is rather cheap.
