Alexander's AMAZING Xena Costume replica

Hello friends,

Long overdue, I wanted to share with you the marvels that Alexander (a fellow Xenite and amazing craftsman) has been developing. During the past few months, he's been creating a replica of Xena's costume for his wife's cosplay --using real leather and real copper to make every piece from scratch. And let me tell you: the results are incredible!

If you want to contact Alexander (he's open to commissions) here's his Facebook page and his e-mail address:
 willmackenziepiprer@gmail.com

But enough talking: let his work talk for itself! First of all, the making-of...













He's even made a chakram!




And now some beauty shots!













Have a great weekend! :)

For Sale: Glen's Prop Axe from S2 "The Price"

Hello Xena collectors!

Today I present you Glen's prop axe, as seen in the hands of the Horde (aka the Pomira) in S2's "The Price".


The axe is made of resin, measures 50 cm long, and was purchased back in the late 90s / early 2000s in the Turner's Auction.

Overall, as you can see, this is a VERY well preserved prop. Glen tells me that it was on display for about a month after its purchase, and then it was packed up in a hard shell case in a closet ever since (away from sunlight and in a smoke-free home, which is great!).

Glen's axe is exactly as the one(s) seen here.

Glen wants to sell this beauty for the very reasonable price of $200 US plus shipping. The item will be shipped from Ontario (Canada), with insurance and tracking number.

If you're interested, feel free to contact Glen directly:
gwstorrie@distributel.net

This is a great opportunity to get your hands on a real prop, just in time for the upcoming 25th Anniversary Con!





EDIT: I'm happy to announce that the item has been SOLD! Thanks to the buyer and to everyone who saw and shared this entry. Battle on!

For Sale: Mike's Model boat from S5 "Antony & Cleopatra"

Hey there friends!

I've been meaning to put together this entry for some time now. Mike, a fellow collector, has a very rare piece for sale: the model boat used for filming some naval sequences in S5's "Antony & Cleopatra".


As you can see, this is a very intricate, one-of-a-kind piece. Mike tells me that the model "was damaged a couple of years ago, when it was in storage". Nevertheless, he's fixed it, although some parts are missing.

Here a screen-capture of the model in the episode:


And a link to the episode. Mike tells me the ship's scenes are near the end of the episode:

The price is $1500. If you want more info, please let me know and I'll put you in contact with Mike. Now enjoy some more photos of the model!
