Throughout the history of literature and movies, magical & fantasy swords have had a prominent and mystical place. Many of these swords are almost like characters themselves, endowed with various special powers. Over the centuries, swords have drawn the attention of those interested in warfare and in the powers that the most famous swords have been endowed with.

Swords are far more than interchangeable weapons used in books and movies. For thousands of years they’e played crucial roles in warfare and defense. The epic battles of history have prompted creation of myths about the swords used. Most people know about Excalibur, the sword of King Arthur. Attila the Hun said that his sword once belonged to Mars, the Roman god of war. Cleopatra gave a sword named Philippan to Marc Antony, a sword he lost when Octavian defeated him.

Swords abound in literature and movies, from the old classics like Beowulf to the lightsabers used in Star Wars. Many of today’ most popular books and movies prominently feature swords: Lord of the Rings, Chronicles of Narnia, Pirates of the Caribbean, Highlander, and Harry Potter. Movies like Hellboy 2, Kill Bill, and 300 have also inspired the creation of realistic replica swords.

The longstanding trend of replica swordmaking based on movies goes back to 1982, with the release of the movie Conan. The replica swords corresponding to today’ movies are often crafted with the input of the director, producer, writer, or all three in order to get a replica that is as true to the original as possible.

What do swords represent to today’ fantasy book and movie enthusiasts? They offer a feeling of transcendence from space and time, and from the roles people play in everyday life. By seeing characters who in many ways are ordinary people with certain exceptional abilities and powers, fans gain their own sense of the possibility of transcendence from the ordinary. These characters face obstacles and danger at every turn, and yet, with the help of their swords, they prevail in the end.

In the three Lord of the Rings movies, the weapons are minor characters in themselves, with their own names and back stories. Elves, humans, and hobbits may come and go, but the swords carry on through the generations. The swords were created to accurately represent their names and their histories, with, for example, elves handling elegant, more finely-tuned swords and Orcs wielding chunky daggers.

But of course, Lord of the Rings isn’t the only entertainment franchise to have lustworthy swords. Swords from G.I. Joe, Hellboy, Heroes, Highlander, Kill Bill, Rambo, 300, and Eragon are all highly prized collectors’items. Replica Movie Swords specializes in highly accurate replica swords from movies. With these collectible swords, authenticity is of highest importance.

Most swords licensed for movies are made in limited editions that have finite limits. Some are so limited in quantity that each sword is numbered. When you buy a licensed movie replica sword, it will increase in value when the manufacturer ends production. While they are highly prized collectors’items, these swords are cherished by collectors, many of whom collect them as a way of connecting themselves to the worlds depicted in their favorite movies.
