Yes I am aware.
Did you not read the post? Did you not see the OP?
The company sells multiple replicas but every review says they never received the products.
I finally managed to track down pictures of (what I think is) a the sword from the original run. It’s clearly not the same product:
The new one’s on the right.
Yeah, I tried to point out to the OP that the Epic Swords site he mentioned looks dodgy and hell…and that I’m sure plenty of people are going to be willing to pay the premium price for the guarantee that they’ll get a genuine product. But he brushed it off.
$1500 is way too much though. I could see $600 to $700.
I doubt many will sell at that price, with multiple people bashing the price on the forums since it was announced. Hopefully they lower it
I have no idea what replica/display swords like this usually cost. But I’ve also seen them selling some incredibly expensive statues, so the price just seems par for the course. /shrug
The new one looks more game accurate but I’d imagine it’s far more fragile than the og version. Plenty of stories of people having the og one fall and not event dent.
The “jaina” statue was the last statue I remember. Poorly made, face was not of jaina, terrible paint job. Was incredibly overpriced and laughed at by the forums and big collectors alike
That illidan statue though…
If only…
I mean…it’s not as if the sculptor would have had a real person to go off of, like they do for the Marvel stuff that’s similarly priced. And the in-game models tend to be wildly different from the fully-rendered CG stuff anyway.
They’ve had no issues with other characters.
Go look at it.
She looks like a middle age Asian woman
“I can’t afford this thing! How dare Blizzard make a thing I can’t afford!”
That is our technology getting better then. Looks really good now.
this price doesnt surprise anyone in the statue/collectible community. thats who this is for
I’m not sure what that means.
Im going to buy it now. Since none of you want it. I have bought every item on the store.
No, they don’t. Go to Kult of Athena and look at 2h swords. Even the ones advertised specifically as greatswords cap out at around 6 pounds.
There is no company called EPIC Weapons, it was Epic Swords.
Hmm… Never seen any that state that, I purchased a Mjolnir from them and its amazing.
We must be going to 2 different sites…
Throughout the entire thread I’ve simply stated the Epic Swords version is a much better buy for the cost difference. If hard core collectors want the Blizzard one and can afford it, that’s on them go for it. But its a ridiculous price for what you get no matter how the contrarians want to spin it.

I wish I could afford cool sword replicas.
swords are not cheap items to make. if you want one your going to be paying quite a bit for it. if i’m not mistaken good katana’s go for around 5k.
Oh I see… You were talking about the 2008 version, got it.
