Re: Overrated / Underrated Films

You are absolutely right about the gadgets. That is what I loved about the film. The new films force Bond to actually be a real "secret agent." With no over the top gadgets I think it makes the films much more realistic, which I think is what we need in this age, more real films. Good poin...

Re: Other Ringwraith Swords

Ed you are completely right! We just need one more thing though, Sauron's Mace. I mean in the movie he hits a couple home runs of elves and men with it.

Overrated: Fight Club The Departed Braveheart (Gladiator is better, same plot played better) The original Star Wars compared to the new trilogy.

Re: Other Ringwraith Swords

I think it would be really awesome to just have little collections around the house in groupings for example a second age grouping with: Gondorian shield, Narsil, Sword of Isildur, Isildur and Elendil Helmet, High Elven Shield/helmet/sword. Another group of course could be the 4 wraith swords, with ...

[quote=""Sedhal""] The other ringwraith weapons are nice and all, but bring on Sauron's unseen sword![/quote] I agree, they cannot use the excuse about scene time of the sword because both Isildur's sword and Narsil have a small amount of screen time. I personally think that more...

Re: Other Ringwraith Swords

We never know with the hobbit coming out, they might release a lot of new stuff from the trilogy too. Many companies do that. I mean just take star wars, Revenge of the Sith comes out and half the products released from MR are from other movies.

Other Ringwraith Swords

Alright, I searched the pages and I do not know if there is a thread, but I don't think there is yet. Anyways, since we are excited about Morgul dagger I was thinking about why not make the other Ringwraith. Weapons and Warfare says that each wraith had a different sword but so far UC has produced t...

Re: Uc witchking dagger

Thank you for that Valkrist, so what is the weight on this dagger? I know the witchking and raith swords seemed pretty heavy when I held them. Does this have a bulky feeling? Or does it seem to fit well in the hand?

Who wants to See A Third Age Gondorian Shield

Since too many posts about Eomer have been made, does anyone want to see a third age Gondorian Shield? I think it would be a good addition to have with the helmet personally.

Re: Question on NC King Elessar Crown Limited edition

Thank you so much for your input. I have talked with a few other people who told me the crown is pretty small. I have recieved the comparison that a medium Indiana Jones hat fits and the crown is really tight on them. Unfortunately, my hat size is larger so I decided to make the crown myself once I ...

Re: What's Your Favourite Weapon?

I just wanted to make a note that in a interview with Tony Wolf, the sword coordinator for the movies, he says that the Elves use spiraling motions. Then when the interviewer asked about Aragorn's Fighting style, Wolf mentions that he would say that it is influenced by the Elven style in technique (...

Yeah I know Noble discontinued them, I actually contacted them about it. But, I am just trying to see what size it fits around the head. Trust me, I always find a way to get discontinued items.

How do you like the crown. I was planning on buying it so I wanted to know what your opinion was. Also, do you know about what hat size it might be. Another words, do you know your head size and does it fit lol

Regarding Sedhal's comment about Bruce Lee.

I wanted to just clearly state that I like how Strider sword looks and feels...

Of course I can't fight sword to sword with the UC Swords because they aren't high quality steel. But I still practice the forms with it.

Re: What's Your Favourite Weapon?

I know, and that is why I feel it works. Mixing that spiral style with a little of the European Eagle Stance for the powerful strikes, but the main purpose is to disarm your opponent and especially just keeping the sword close to the body making it very easy to deflect and block every attack.
