Monday eBay Roundup (XVIII)

Hey Xenites!

This week we DO have a Monday roundup, isn't that great? :) A few new Xena items have been listed on eBay, and although they're not many they're very cool - I'm sure many of you will be highly interested on them.

So let's take a look, shall we?

- TODD'S SPLITTING CHAKRAM #301


   > Manufacturer: Todd's Costumes
   > Number: 301/3000
   > COA: Included
   > Seller: redfox0_0
   > Price: $350 plus shipping (only USA), or Buy Now for $500

   > Opinion: I hadn't seen one of these in a while. I must say I LOVE this piece - it has a good low number, the paint looks great and it's undoubtedly well conserved. It's worth mentioning that although the COA says 3000, this is a mistake (confirmed by Todd Coyle himself). It should say 301/1000, as the license only covered 1000 units.
>> EDIT: Seller indicated paint is slightly chipped in the handle, and there will be a price reduction when the bidding is over.

- TODD'S YIN YANG CHAKRAM #488


   > Manufacturer: Todd's Costumes
   > Number: 488/1000
   > COA: Included
   > Seller: redfox0_0
   > Price: $300 plus shipping (only USA), or Buy Now for $500

   > Opinion: Same seller, and very similar piece. This one doesn't split in two pieces, but it's nonetheless a gorgeous piece. I's sure it'll find a loving home without much trouble :)

- TODD'S COSTUMES XENA'S WHIP #?

   > Number: Unknown 
   > COA: Included
   > Seller: redfox0_0
   > Price: $200 plus shipping (only USA), or Buy Now for $350

   > Opinion: I reviewed one of these not too long ago (here) and I stick to what I said. Price is quite reasonable too.

- MARTO'S GABRIELLE 10th ANNIVERSARY KATANA REPLICA


   > Manufacturer: Marto of Toledo
   > Number: Unknown
   > COA: Included
   > Seller: redfox0_0
   > Price: $500 plus shipping (only USA), or Buy Now for $700

   > Opinion: What can I say about Marto's 10th Anniversary katanas? Pros: very nicely done pieces, a very realistic katana feel, noble materials, gold... Cons: not very accurate. Specially in this case (Gabrielle's katana) this replica feels little like the original prop (that you can see here).

- MARTO'S XENA 10th ANNIVERSARY KATANA REPLICA


   > Manufacturer: Marto of Toledo
   > Number: Unknown
   > COA: Included
   > Seller: redfox0_0
   > Price: $500 plus shipping (only USA), or Buy Now for $700

   > Opinion: Same opinion as in Gabrielle's katana - although I must say Xena's katana replica is slightly more similar to the prop than Gabrielle's. Still, a nice sword. If you want to check a 100% screen accurate Xena katana I invite you to take a look at here.

UPDATED with two more items from the same seller:

- TODD'S COSTUMES XENA'S SWORD #221


   > Manufacturer: Todd's Costumes
   > Number: 221/3000
   > COA: Included
   > Seller: redfox0_0
   > Price: $300 plus shipping (only USA), or Buy Now for $550

   > Opinion: There's not much to say about this sword, it speaks for itself. Very nice and sought-after piece. Similarly to the sword we saw last week (here), this one is listed a very reasonable price, plus it comes with COA and has a good numbering.

- TODD'S COSTUMES XENA'S SCABBARD #249


   > Manufacturer: Todd's Costumes
   > Number: Unknown 
   > COA: 249/3000
   > Seller: redfox0_0
   > Price: $200 plus shipping (only USA), or Buy Now for $350

   > Opinion: I'm not a huge fan of Todd's Costumes scabbards (hence why I decided to make my own version) but his early pieces had a high quality unseen later on. So although this might not be a 100% screen-accurate scabbard I'm sure it'll be a great collectible.

That's all. As I said, not many items, but I'm sure they'll fly :)

Stay tuned friends!

  1. Hola. Hace tiempo estabas haciendo las comparaciones entre los distintos chakram. Mi pregunta es; ¿harás las comparaciones de los chakram yin yang? Muchas gracias de antemano por tu respuesta. ^_^

    1. Hola Punktromic! Si, tengo planeado hacer las comparaciones del chakram Yin Yang. De hecho llevo haciéndolas un tiempo, pero la falta de tiempo me ha impedido acabarlas. Gracias por tu paciencia!

      ENGLISH: I speak Spanish, but I'd like to stick with English as much as possible so everyone understands. Punktromic asks if I'm going to do a Y&Y chakram comparisons, to which I've said yes - however due to the lack of free time it's taking me far longer than expected. Bear with me please :)
