CROWN OF ELESSAR THE NOBLE COLLECTION MOVIE

I've reached the end of my insight in this particular case, like I said before, I only collect functional swords these days and have lost track of the intricacies of differences between the budget licensed UC and Noble prop replicas, though Generally speaking, yea, the WETA stuff is closer to the source (they got Peter Lyon to make blades and Jens Hansen to oversee the rings, for instance). I would not be swayed by the lack of plaque on the Museum Editions that are left, a display plaque or wall hook is a trivial thing to make for your treasures, no matter which one you do end up going with.

And for what I understand Weta items -all of them- should be the best ones, right?ĮDIT: And what do you think about this Arkenstone? Don't know much about it and giving the fact that 'he' will find it in the next movie I don't know if Weat or someone else will make it too so now that I have the chance to buy it, I don't know so I need expert advice please I also saw that between the Noble swords and the UC swords (apparently) there are not differences, but if you have to choose between Noble and UC, wich one would you choose? Wich one would you buy?Īnd by the way: do you have other items of The Lord of the Rings? I'm thinking about my collection and I've alredy ordered King Elessar Crown from Noble, but talking about staffs and swords there are Noble, UC and even Weta.

So, the best to get would be the museum edition and in fact they are not that expensive at all -as I would imagine giving the 'limited edition' thing- BUT the only problem I find with these ones are that they don't come with a plaque or display thing, you know to hang it somewhere and for me that counts. His blades won't have the distinctive flashy hollow grinds of Peter Lyon's work, but he's capable of any number of degrees of exact accuracy or personal interpretation, and he makes lively, durable, resilient cutting tools. Check out his recent Boromir set or his Longclaw in terms of intricacy. He's made a couple of different Foehammers over the years, and his skills have only gotten better and better. If I were to buy a Glamdring these days, I'd get a proper fully-functional one made by Brendan Olszowy of Fableblades. You can read a review and discussion about it here.

Redford films has unearthed a few of them and is selling them at an honest price. I think the best mid-range Glamdring option is the United Cutlery Museum Collection Glamdring, which has upgraded materials and a sturdier construction, including real gemstones, leather, silver, and decent steel (though still without a pommel interface that could be appropriate for using the sword as a cutter). It's been a long time since I had any wallhangers. Well, the best would be to nab one of THESE from the WETA Master Swordsmith's Collection, but they're gone and not appropriate for most people's budgets.įor a more sane household budget, the United Cutlery swords have for many years been accepted as a bit better in detail and dimensions than the Noble Collection counterparts, but with Noble's updating pieces for the new Hobbit movies I can't say that's for sure these days.
