Monday eBay Roundup (I)

Hey guys!

Already recovered from the 2014 Xena con this week-end? :)

I've decided Mondays are a good day as any other to do a eBay roundup, so I'm making this a new entry category. Every Monday I'll try to summarize what's new on eBay, and post the items that might interest us collectors.

Today we can find all these:

- XENA CUDGEL PROP


   > Character: Persian army from S3 "One against an Army"
   > Material: Wood. Resin.
   Papers: Not included.
   Seller: mploesch
   Price: $85 plus shipping

   > Opinion: Mploesch brought us many cool costume props last week, so we know he has genuine stuff. This cudgel is not what we say an "iconic" prop, but seems to be in good condition. A nice add for your collection if you're into this kind of background props.

- AMAZON STUNT MAORI SPEAR


   > Character: The Amazons.
   > Material: Foam rubber. Feathers.
   Papers: Not included.
   Seller: baso
   Price: $80 plus shipping

   > Opinion: Very cool looking spear. It's a stunt prop, but it presents beautiful details. It was supposedly used by the Amazons, but the reference pictures show a different kind of spear. It could have been used by other tribes as the Hordes. However feathers are a distinctive feature of the Greek Amazons, so it could be from them. It measures about 60''/1,5m long, so shipping will most likely be a pain.

Note: Seller has another spear like this, but with no feathers. I post both links.


- PROP WOODEN OAR


   > Character: Unknown.
   > Material: Foam rubber. Feathers.
   Papers: Not included.
   Seller: baso
   Price: $80 plus shipping

   > Opinion: A wooden oar. Unknown episode, it might be from either Hercules or Xena. COA not included... Not much more to say about it :)

- PROP BARB CHAIN


   > Character: Unknown.
   > Material: Polyurethane rubber. Plastic.
   Papers: Not included.
   Seller: baso
   Price: $60 plus shipping

   > Opinion: This chain kind of looks like the one Xena uses in S5 "Motherhood" (the Chains of Hephaestus) but they are not exactly the same. Like the oar above, not much more to say about it.

- SPIKY BALLS WEAPON


   > Character: Unknown.
   > Material: Polyurethane rubber. Plastic.
   Papers: Not included.
   Seller: baso
   Price: $75 plus shipping

   > Opinion: More of the same. Nice looking but anonymous prop, maybe from Hercules or even Young Hercules. Who knows. I show it just in case somebody fancies this kind of stuff.

- ALTI'S DAGGER


   > Character: Alti in S4 episode "Between the Lines".
   > Material: Metal. Leather.
   Papers: Not included.
   Seller: baso
   Price: $150 plus shipping

   > Opinion: At least something recognizable! This is Alti's dagger, and more so, a hero prop. This is real metal, folks, which means this prop was made for close-ups. It comes with a nice leather sheath, though this was not seen during the episode. Cool prop!

- LIN QI PROP SWORD


   > Character: Lin Qi in S5 "Back in the Bottle". Perdicas. Xena.
   > Material: Resin. 
   Papers: It's a Wrap! COA
   Seller: beatles-rock
   Price: $399.99 plus shipping

   > Opinion: This is the typical sword used over and over throughout all the series. Seen in many episodes, in the hands of characters as iconic as Perdicas, and Xena herself. It would be kind of impossible to know which actor hold this particular sword, though the COA say Lin Qi.

- EVIL XENA PROP SWORD


   > Character: Xena. Borias.
   > Material: Resin. 
   Papers: Turners COA
   Seller: beatles-rock
   Price: $599.99 plus shipping

   > Opinion: Now this is a cool sword! It's the Xena and Borias trademark sword from almost every flashback episode, as S3 "The Debt I&II", S4 "Adventures in the Sin Trade I&II" or S6 "Last of the Centaurs". Very recognizable, and seems to be in good condition. Price might be an issue for some buyers.

- ROMAN ARMY HELMET


   > Character: Romans. Gabrielle. Temecula. 
   > Material: Resin. Leather.
   Papers: Turner COA
   Seller: cmheskett
   Price: $250 plus shipping

   > Opinion: Yet another prop used in many many episodes. We find helmets like this almost in every episode featuring Romans, such as S2 "The Price" or S4 "A Good Day". A very visible item, there's no doubt.

- TODD'S XENA ARMOR BACKPIECE REPLICA


   > Manufacturer: Todd's Costumes
   > Number: None. It's a pre-licensed replica.
   > COA: Not included.
   Seller: sonofkrypton22
   Price: $75 plus shipping

   > Opinion: Sonofkrypton22/Otsillac items are always cool. This time he brings us a Xena backpiece replica from Todd Coyle (founder of Todd's Costumes) before he produced licensed replicas. This means it's a high quality replica (the pre-licensed Todd's replicas had far greater quality than his later works). The backpiece is made of resin and painted to look like copper. Niceley done. It's a bit broken in the bottom, but seems easy to fix. Overall is a very nice piece! And cheap!


More soon! Stay tuned!
