I've seen a handful of different cheapo version of the Atlantean Conan sword but was wondering if anybody here could recommend the "cream of the crap" as far as these go?

LOL, the "Cream of the Crap" would be the Marto produced swords. Stainless blades w/rat-tail tangs, bronze plated potmetal hilt, improper grind on the blade, but they were molded from (at least the Atlantean) sample swords that Filmswords was required to send them (contract).
Now that the FS contract has expired, these are the closest to the original design.
What are these abortions that Marto is making?

These Marto Conan products look super rad though!

What's the full story on Albion and Marto both having the license?

Those are from the short lived television show. The listing on the website is just incorrect
I totally forgot that they made a TV show.
Check it out though-

Wow, I'm glad they immortalized those TV show swords.

You too can now relive the adventure and excitement of Conan the TV show with this glam rock version of the Conan sword. Ugh...

I got one of those swords when they came out. It sounded impressive.
UGH! That thing was a hunk of junk. It weighed a ton and didnt look like the movie sword AT ALL. (only later did I learn that they released that sword too)
I sent the monstrousity back to them and got my money back...
That having been said.
I still want a Conan sword

I concur with ^THIS^ assessment. Albion's were PERFECT, but don't meet the "cheapo" criteria. The Marto Atlantean is very close, & at around $300-400, are "cheapish". That is probably what I will end up getting, since I can't ever foresee having the available scratch to get an Albion (even pre-owned, at this point).
P.S. BTW, the Marto Atlantean is way more accurate to the screen-used piece than their version of the Father's sword is to the original.

LOL, this show ACTUALLY made me mad trying to watch it. Their so-called "Sword of Atlantis OMGOMGBBQ!!!111" was so huge that it was completely comical. It would've weighed 25 lbs. in real life.
