What a pleasant surprise, to wake up and see so many interesting props and replicas listed on eBay. Check them out! :)
- XENA'S WHIP REPLICA
> Number: 54/1000
> COA: Not included.
> Seller: sonofkrypton22
> Price: $599.99 plus shipping (free shipping in USA)
> Opinion: SonofKrypton22 is a long term collector in the Xenaverse, better known under the alias Otsillac. His items tend to be pricey, but always have high quality and usually are very well taken care of. This whip is a good example of that: nice and expensive. About the replica itself, I think Todd's Xena whip is a very cool item (I'd say it's one of the best replicas he made). Not 100% accurate (the golden parts are silver in props or Creation replicas) but beautiful nonetheless!

- CREATION ENT. GABRIELLE STAFF
> Number: 101/500
> COA: Included.
> Seller: rie-do-it
> Price: $500 plus shipping
> Opinion: You all know my love for Creation Ent replicas. This is no exception. This battle-staff (or GabWhackers, as many fans call it) is made by the same prop masters that created the one in the show. It'll probably include the "New Zealand made" stamp somewhere, but still, a must have for all Gabby fans. On the other hand, be warned: shipping and customs will be painful due to the length of the package!

- MARTO'S XENA 10th ANNIVERSARY KATANA REPLICA
> Manufacturer: Marto Swords of Spain
> Number: 288/3500
> COA: Included.
> Seller: gevxena
> Price: $599.99 plus shipping or $1,000 for "Buy Now"
> Opinion: Marto's not my favorite brand, but as I've stated a couple of times, their katanas are ok. Inaccurate in many details, but nice-looking weapons and finely made. Their 10th anniversary katanas are a bit different and more "special" than their regular versions. This one is 24k Gold plated and presents a Xena quote and signature on the blade. The seller says Marto was licensed to produce 3500 of these at the time, less then 500 were ever made. Even with that, I'd say it's expensive.

- MARTO'S GABRIELLE 10th ANNIVERSARY KATANA REPLICA
> Manufacturer: Marto Swords of Spain
> Number: 288/3500
> COA: Included.
> Seller: gevxena
> Price: $599.99 plus shipping or $1,000 for "Buy Now"
> Opinion: Same as the Xena's Marto katana above. I'd say Gabrielle's bothers me a bit more, cause it's even less accurate in some details. The blue in the handle should be more intense, for example. And the blade doesn't have the luscious dragon engraving seen on the prop.

- XENA PROP BOMB
> Character: The bad guys from S5 episode "Back in the Bottle"
> Material: Wood. Cord.
> Papers: Not mentioned.
> Seller: gevxena
> Price: $199.99 plus shipping
> Opinion: Gevxena's on fire! lol He's selling so many things all of a sudden! This a real prop used in the series. Seller says not many were made, and most were damaged during filming -so this undamaged piece is rare. Not very iconic, but curious nonetheless.
- HIGUCHI MILITIA PROP KATANA
> Character: Gabrielle's army in S6 episode "Friend in Need II"
> Material: Resin. Aluminum. Cloth.
> Papers: Not included. It might include a copy of the Turner's receipt.
> Seller: xsab
> Price: $115 plus shipping
> Opinion: Today's post is surely about katanas, right? This is an original prop used in the series, and thus has some pros and cons. Pros: it's original, it's cheap, it was used in the series finale, and it's similar to Gabrielle's prop katana (all the army shared the same kind of katana). Cons: it's a bit deteriorated (presents wear and tear from screen use) and it's one piece (sword and sheath are one and can't be separated). Still, at least for me, one of the most interesting pieces shown here today.
That's all for now folks. More soon!
Stay tuned!
