Quality Of Noble Products

[Vaders_Happy]

I'm aware Noble are doing the Indiana Jones prop replicas. Has anyone here bought any of them? Specificaly the headpiece to the Staff Of Rah and the bull whip. Re the bull whip can you use it to 'crack' etc. or is it really only to hang on a costume / dispaly?

We discussed it some here...

As for quality of their products, I've never had any issues with Noble's pieces, and I've been ordering things from them for almost 2 decades.

There are a lot of IJ pattern whips in the world. Some were offered in the JY recently for not much more than this one.

Unless someone's figured out a way to machine-make whips, figure this thing had to be made somewhere by hand for much less than half the retail. What are the chances the inside is of high quality, or that the people who made it knew a lot about making bullwhips?

If it actually looks like the one illustrated I'd bet it can be made to crack, but I wouldn't want to bet on how well it handles or now much use it can put up with.
