Khrafstar's leather vest

Recently arrived the Krasftar stunt double set used leather patch vest to my collection. “The Deliverer” from season 3 was one of my favorite episodes from the whole series.

Xena’s desire for revenge against Caesar took her to Britain and there she and Gabrielle met Khrafstar (played by Marton Csokas).

While there, our heroes with their minds occupied, Xena’s with revenge and Gabrielle’s with his new friend, are tricked by Khrafstar into involving Gabrielle in a sacrificial ritual for the One God (unknown to them at this point), causing Gabrielle to stain her hands with blood for the first time, thus losing her purity and innocence.

Due to this, Gabrielle finds herself engulfed in flames while Xena fights Khafstar to free her. Later on our heroes discover that those flames impregnated Gabrielle and she will be the window for the one god Dahak’s son to come to this world through birth.

There is a tag inside written: "KHRAFSTAR STUNT DBL".

Gabrielle Screen worn Necklace Amulet

Recently added to my collection this screen worn Gabrielle necklace used by Gabrielle played by Renée O’Connor during the season 6 of the tv series. As far as I know, there's only another original necklace prop out there, sold by the same company to other collector and the one in Te Papa museum of New Zealand from Gabrielle stunt double, Jo Staverly. 

 

This one in particular was sold by "Shed 11 Costume House" some years ago, it comes with the original box. It was stored during all these years. I feel really proud of been able to almost complete with screen used pieces my Gabrielle season 6 costume. 

 

The necklace is made up of 5 beads: one silver leaf shaped pendant amulet, two wired silver beads on each side, that surprisingly are each one different of the other, and two silver round beads. I made a quick comparative view with the replica sold by Creation Entertainment and I can definitely say that Creation necklace beads are silver casts of the screenused pieces.

Hades's cloak

Directly from New Zealand this screen worn Hades cloak arrived this week. Extremely well done, the condition is awesome for having been almost 30 years old.

This cloak was used by Hades played Erik Thomson in the episode “Death in Chains”(Nov, 1995) from season 1. The last appeareance of the cloak was in the episode “Beware of greeks bearing gifts”(Jan, 1996) from season 1, worn by Deiphobus as the “Dark Warrior”, played by Cameron Rhodes, in Helen nightmare. There is tag inside written “Deiphobus Dark Warrior”. Also, was used by Hades character in the HTLJ series in the episode “The other side” from season 2 (Oct, 1995). 

This cloak is made of purple velvet, leather and the skulls in the front part are made of kind of solid material. For just be a cloak, it never ceases to surprise me how the wardrobe department work over every single detail each character costume.

Xena personal arsenal props

Finally I can say I ended the Xena personal props/replicas arsenal. After I had found the boot dagger I completed the main hero weapons that were used by Xena played by Lucy Lawless. There are 3 screen used pieces and 3 prop replicas. Enjoy!

Xena armour and leathers

Well. after cleaning up my screen used Xena stunt armour and leathers, it was the best moment to take a good photo of it. Behind of Xena is the show case with many props and the Hero Xena screen used metal sword, on the right side is Callisto costume display.

Callisto weapons

Another interesting photo of my recently acquired Xena sword, Callisto sword and now, with the Callisto metal replica. Finally Callisto weapon arsenal is completed!

Xena Boot Dagger prop

A recently eBay pick-up: Screen used Xena boot dagger made of heavy resin and the blade is a kind of soft foam, urethane. This dagger always was one of my dreamed Xena weapons to own and will be great displayed with the screenused Xena sword, chakram, whip and the breast dagger.

Side 2.

This is one of the personal Xena weapons, part of her weaponry arsenal. The dagger came without the paua shells, probably they came off at some point, there was rest of glue around the holes where they were supposed to be. So, as I am not thinking in selling it at any time I decided those paua shells from New Zealand should be there again.

This dagger was seen in various episodes used by Xena played by Lucy Lawless and stunt doubles: “Callisto", “Intimate stranger” and “The furies”.
