ReelArt spear of destiny / spear of longinus review?

[hydin]

I was showing off the replicas to my mom earlier today, and she is thinking of getting one of the spear replicas that they sell on ebay.

There are 2 main sellers, and the price diff is about 100$ between the 2. So far I can tell one has a case, and one does not.

Does anyone own the reelart version, and is it good for the money?

Thanks!
Chris

I don't personally own one, but there was a review of ReelArt's version a while back on Club Obi-Wan. If they haven't done any significant changes to it, then my memory tells me that it's rubbish, like most of their other items.

There are other versions out there; off the top of my mind, I believe that Indy Magnoli still makes one, along with Bronze Armory (which I think is the other dealer on eBay).

I've seen it and it is a little overpriced for the work you have to do to make it more authentic. Still a cheaper option and with some elbow grease it can look good.

I picked one up from Magnoli...I think it's a bronze armoury version. As it comes with a case and cover.........That's nice. All metal. He did make some nice ones himself at one time. Ask him about your options. He always gives top notch advice....

i was under the impression that everything reelart makes is complete crap

If your mom is not a member here, I think it'll pass.

If your mom is a member here, she'll agree it's complete crap.

Reelart is a recaster.:thumbsdown

I've never seen a Spear of Destiny replica that I liked, so I made my own version. Even my first one I wasn't too happy with, so I reworked it (took almost two years), but I've finally happy with the result:

Unfortunatley, these are expensive to make and VERY time intensive.

Kind regards,
Indy
