FIN FX Spear Tops





























Morgan and I shared these wonderful props!!! We both found them in scenes of The Director's Cut Xena FIN eps. WE found them in several different parts. To explain what they are...they are the tips of the spears that were used throughout the final eps. Xena broke them off later when Yodoshi's army attacked her. The first spotting was when Akemi takes Xena to get the sacred Katana. In the Master Katana Blacksmith's Hut these were along the side of the hut standing in a rack. The second sighting was when Xena and Gabrielle saved Higuchi from burning down. You can see it in the crowd. The third was while Xena was getting attacked by Yodoshi's army. Xena gets charged with these spears and she breaks the tips off using her hands and knees. As in the scenes you can see them flying off and onto the ground. Then Xena kicks one and it flies towards Morimoto the leader of the army and he catches it in his hands (great shot). But these are really cool FX items. They are made of resin and painted to what looks like gray. The ends have metal poles sticking out of them because that is where they were attached to the wooden spear. Really nice prop. I am happy to have them in my collection!! Thanks Morgan :)
