I've seen the knockoffs on eBay and would consider getting one but every one is described as 24-25" across instead of 36 like the NECA. Aside from NECA's version is there another full scale one out there?
I saw those full sized metal ones at Dragon Con, and they are really nice. They are padded on the inside and have leather handles. And they really aren't that heavy once you are holding it. Plus as a bonus, they are real shields!
Yup, windlass cutlery does great work, that's who those metal shields come from. I am also doing a limited run of the ones we created for Dragon Con. Hop on over to the 300dc.com forums to find out more details in the future
