15 Inch Crossbow Arrow


I recently purchased this from a friend and fellow collector. It is a 15 inch crossbow arrow. It has a resin arrowhead painted silver to look like metal, a resin or plastic shaft and fake red and black striped feather tips but it also has real Pheasant feathers over top of the fake ones which give it a nice accent to the arrow. I have not spotted this in an episode but it should be an easy find. As soon as I do I will post the screne caps. Awesome piece!!! :-)

Green Tipped Arrow







This is another item that my Very Good Friend Kim gave me as a gift. He is such a sweet person to give me such nice presents!!! He definitely knows what I like!!! This is a Green tipped arrow that has a resin arrow head which is painted silver to make it look like metal. The shaft is also resin or very hard plastic and the feathered ends are a very pretty shade of green. Really nice piece. I have not spotted it in an episode but when I do I will post it PRONTO!!! Big Hugs to you Kim!!! :-)

Unknown Sword




This is another Beautiful item that my Very Dear Friend Kim gave me as a gift. It is a resin sword with a little damage but that just proves to me it was well used during the shows. I have seen this type sword in many of the shows episodes but not this exact one but I know I will!!! Thanks again Kim so much for this. You make me one of the Happiest Girls on the planet!!!

The Execution Sword











This was given to me by a Very Good Friend of mine. He surprised me with this Beautiful Foam Sword and I will Treasure it ALWAYS!!! This sword is from Xena Season 2 episode "The Execution". Meleager is wrongly convicted of a murder with this sword and Xena & Gabby must find the truth to prove his innocents which of course they do!!! This is a really nice piece and looks great on my wall!!! Many Thanks Kim!!! Love Ya!!

Helicon Sword







Beautiful resin sword!!! This type sword has been seen in MANY episodes in the Xena series as well as on Hercules. The sword is most known as a Helicon Sword hence the title. I have seen this type sword in the Hercules episodes "Love, Amazon Style", "We'll Always Have Cypress", "The Academy" and "Sky High" but it has also been in the Xena episode "To Helicon and Back" and probably a few others which will come about. I am not really sure which episode mine is from but it may have been in "Love, Amazon Style" as my sword has a brown handle but I can't be 100% sure on that. That is Queen Kayla that is shown here in the screen grab holding a brown handled sword.

My Bruce/Autolycus Dagger











Here is another Favorite piece that I now own. Through my Good Friend Morgan I was able to trade my Kali Way Dagger for this Bruce/Autolycus Dagger which I believe was used in Xena Season 4 episode "Takes One To Know One" which also happens to be my FAVORITE episode of all the series. I could watch that episode over and over again and Never tire of it. When Joxer grabs Auto's mustache his reaction is hysterical!!! Auto pulls this dagger on Revenica the bounty hunter because he is trying to protect Xena against her. You can't see the hilt but you can definitely tell by the blade that it is the same dagger. Woo Hoo another win for C-TABA!!!!! :-) Thanks Morgan!!!

Autolycus Sword




Here is one of my favorite swords due to the fact that it was used by Bruce Campbell who is my favorite actor. This sword was spotted in Hercules Season 5 ep "Genies and Grecians and Geeks, Oh My". It is a heavier resin sword with beautiful detail on the blade. The hilt is painted gold with a gold and turquoise pattern cloth and has a turquoise colored tassle on the end. Absolutely stunning piece of craftsmanship!!!

Young Hercules Bomb Prop







I have become very fond of the Young Hercules Series which starred Ryan Gosling and Dean O'Gorman and I was very happy to be able to acquire this piece. It is from the Young Hercules Series Ep"Under Siege". The Amazons were given this weapon which was made by Hephaestus and they used it against the Academy. The bomb is made of very light resin and looks fabulous!!!

Many Happy Returns Sword











This is a really nice sword. It was used in Xena Season 6 ep "Many Happy Returns" by the warlords son Frankus. It is a resin sword which has a black and brown handle. The hilt is wrapped with very thin leather and has some kind of seal over it to protect it from wear and tear. Truly a remarkable piece!!

Marcus Bone Sword




Here is an Awesome sword. It has been spotted in many Xena episodes but is most recognizable as Marcus's Sword. Xena's true love. This is a resin sword, a leather strap wrapped all around the hilt and the blade is in a weave pattern with teeth halfway down near the handle. Simply Beautiful!!!

Sun and Cross Sword
















Gorgeous resin sword and a bit on the heavy side. This sword has a very unique shape and design to it and I just love it!!! I have spotted this sword in 3 episodes as of now and you can check out the screen caps that are attached. This sword is seen in Hercules Season 2 episode "Heedless Hearts" used by Reanna, Hercules Season 3 episode "Love Takes A Holiday" on the wall in Hephaestus's Forge and in Hercules Season 3 episode "Mummy Dearest" carried by the Egyptian Guards. So Cool!!
