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.

   > 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 :)

- 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.
