Screenused Double lion head sword

New arrival! In this case, this is an amazing sword, quite large, it's the largest I have and highly detailed. This is the double lion head style sword seen in many episodes from the tv series. It is made of resin with a metal rod inside and the blade is closed foam in mint condition. I can recognize the amazon emblem in the middle of the guard section and the classic lion heads pieces in each side.

This sword was seen in "The deliverer" hold by a roman officer, "King Con" used by the son of betting house owner when beat up Joxer at the beginning, "Here comes... Miss Amphipolis" hold by the sponsor of one of the contestants, "Looking to the death eye" used by young Octavius and in "The god you know" when Caligula demonstrates his immortality to a villager at the beginning of the episode.

Screenused Indrajit Sword

New arrival! I always loved the India episodes, and I was really interested in finding this style of sword to add to my collection. This is an Indrajit hard resin sword used in the episode "The Way". This sword was used by Indrajit played Rajneel Singh. After his transformation and the appearance of 4 more arms he picks up the swords from the wall and amputates Xena's arms, epic scene!

This sword is short piece, made of solid resin with a metal rod inside. The handle is painted in gold tons with red and white details. The blade has a floral engraving that makes it different and exotic.

Screenused Autolycus Hero costume

Hello friends! I come back today with a photo-shoot of my screenused Autolycus costume that I have acquired a few months ago but I didn't post it yet. This screenused updated costume worn by Autolycus played by Bruce Campbell and stunt double, Ben Cooke. Autolycus worn different costumes during the XWP and HTLJ series, this belongs to the last outfit seen in both tv shows and in my opinion, the more elaborated and detailed one.

This costume has 6 pieces: the iconic green suede vest, the black fabric skirt with a detailed flower trim, the leather pants also used by Ares and other male characters, black leather boots, ornated gauntlets, my favourite piece, and green suede belt.

The Hero costumes used to be labeled with the name of the main actor and sometimes also the character name, this is the case. Also, in the case of the green suede vest I believe that after been used by Bruce Campbell during a few episodes, they left this vest for the stunt actor, Ben Cooke. In the trouser is written: “Autolycus Stunt Double” and in the boots also.

A few years ago, I found a photo with scripts from the HTLJ series talking about the Autolycus trouser with a few polaroid photos of them, they look exactly as mines: the same inside opening and the back of the Auto trouser has the same elastic band in the middle.

Xena Hero screenused Armour pieces

Here is the complete set of the Xena Hero screenused armour used by stunt double during the latest season of the show. As the Xena leathers costume, this armour set was acquired from the Omarama Gallery from New Zealand, now, named Totara Peak Gallery/Big Rooster Antiques & Collectables that nowadays, had closed. The owners' daughter took over the business and decided to sell the entire collection in 2017/18 and each costume has a new place anywhere around the world.

This breastplate is quite different than the Todd's replicas, is bigger and the middle part of the breast is covered with leather and painted in copper tones, the breastplate made by Todd's has that part made of resin and painted in black. It is made of moduled plastic, in the series they've made plenty of breastplates in different materials: metal (copper), other alloy metal, resin and plastic for the ones used by stunts to avoid damage in fight scenes. It has an ultra realistic finish in copper tones, in both sides has a leather strap so that the breastplate can be held easily.

The shoulder guards are made of heavy leather like the one used for the Creation Ent gauntlets and armbands. At the beginning, I had acquired this shoulder guards with a moduled plastic copper lookalike pieces but I have decided to replace them for a more realistic ones, the metal pieces were made by a brazilian blacksmith friend, named Doug WP, who made it for me based in the screenused shoulder guards.

The backplate, same as the breastplate, ultra realistic finish in cooper tones, made out of moduled plastic. It is slightly curved inwards to adapt correctly to the shape of the back and has four leather straps so it can be held easily in the right place.

Argo Saddle bags

A few weeks ago I finally finished my Argo saddle bags replica and I'm really proud!! Well, I've always love that bags that Argo carries on the back. Two years ago, during the pandemic, I had done my first attempt doing just one bag, not the pair. The result was pretty good but I couldn't be able to make the original convex effect on the bag, it was mostly flat and I wasn't 100% satisfied. So, recently I found a really good leather to make it and now, I have the enough skills and knowledge to make that convex effect on the bags with a bit of extra help! It is made of real cow leather and the fur is goat. 

General view - frontal.

The saddle emblems were 3D designed, casted in resin and painted with an aged golden effect. The paua shells was the final detail to finish this beauty! Enjoy the result. I'm thinking to do a few of them to commission, if you are interested you can contact me privately.
