Evie_Nitram Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Hiya, don't want to burst you bubble, but you will probably need direct permission for that, as the tickets have all the rules about bringing swords and weaponry to eclipse. Would be a cool photo op though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of posing with it in the timeline room though.... might have to bring mine ++edit++ Catmoo... if you want to email me on chris.slinn@gmail.com I can let you know where I got mine from. I'm not a dealer in this kind of thing, but I still don't want to advertise the company I bought it from on here!

Zarina Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) Agreed. It loks interesting but also too cheap imho... And to the original poster of this thread, that sounds great!

Rivaan Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Yes, that sword seller looks very interesting (looking at the other swords there, too). I may get one or more, just because the ban will be coming into effect soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarina Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Quote from the actor portraying Kensei: What it's like wearing the samurai costume? "Hot. It's 40 pounds of armor. I've never been more exhausted in my whole life from acting. It's not as bad as I imagine a fat suit being — like Mike Myers in Austin Powers. At least I don't need a colostomy bag and a catheter."

KawaiiCat Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 so are we allowed to bring a hiro's replica sword to the con??? coz my friend has one too and it'd be great to pose with it in the room (she bought it from uniquities aswell, at collectormania 12) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blocpartycam Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 yes you can but you have to notify security when u arrive and keep it in its sheath at all times. once your done using it for photos etc u need to return it to your room. i am hoping there is a safe room or something to put my sword after as i'm staying at the travel lodge and not the park inn.
