Top 10 Swords for Halloween 2008

Top 10 Swords for Halloween.

It’s that time of year again…the time when adults get to act like kids and drunkenly run around town in costume. If you were to do it in February, you’d be considered crazy (and maybe even get arrested). Around the end of October, however, anything goes. So, if your costume idea doesn’t include a Sarah Palin mask and gravitates more towards World of Warcraft, Zelda or Lord of the Rings, you’re in luck. Here’s a list of the top 10 swords for Halloween that will take your getup from “Average Joe Six-Pack” to something more, uh, kickass,

10.) The Sword of Strider. If you’ve got longer hair and a natural rugged look, dressing up as Strider (also known as Aragorn) could be a great idea. Measuring 35.75” in total length with a blade made out of stainless steel, you’ll be sure to win over lots of female elves. A black leather sheath is included for extra protection, because this is on case where latex just doesn’t do the trick. Retail price: $89.99. Our price: $51.99.

9.) Batman Throwing Stars. Okay, so these aren’t exactly swords, but quit being so nit-picky. For the Batman enthusiast, these are the coolest things going. Crafted out of stainless steel and measuring 8” in length, they’re the perfect accessories to a black rubber one-piece suit. Here’s a cool party trick for when you’re out at the bar: instead of playing a game of darts with the lame plastic-tipped spears that the bar provides, chuck a few of these at the board instead. If the bouncer gives you any shit, point to the emblem on your chest and say “I’m Batman”. He’ll run to his mother in fear, and the ladies will flock to your side. Retail price: $24.99 for a set of two. Our price: $12.97.

8.) The Dagger of Arya. This sword is for the ladies who love Aragon and want to get their Ayra Drottningu on for Halloween. It goes great with a strapless gilded mini-dress and can deftly slice through a crowd of brutish Urgals (you know, if you’re feeling particularly stabby). As an added bonus, the 17” dagger comes with a leather scabbard. Retail price: $95.95. Our price: $70.

7.) The King Leonidas Sword. Unleash your inner Spartan with the King Leonidas Sword. Simple, elegant and deadly, it makes the perfect companion to a classic toga and Roman sandals. The razor sharp 26” blade will ensure that you kick Persian ass wherever you go, while the 8.5” leather-wrapped metal handle will help you to keep a good grip on the weapon. Leather sheath included (not that you’ll need it). Retail price: $94.88. Our price: $57.98.

6.) Immortal Swords. You know, we can’t all be King Leonidas. If you’re shaped more like a troll than a fearless hero, perhaps it’s best to go as an Immortal for Halloween. Plus, if you’re hopelessly ugly, you can hide your miserable face from the world with one of our Immortal Masks! Regardless, no Immortal costume is complete without this 31” authentic replica sword. Highly detailed, the handle is intricate and the scabbard is polished. Who doesn’t like a shiny scabbard? Retail price: $68.99. Our price: $34.98.

5.) The Kill Bill Bride’s Sword Set. This is another one for divas who dig daggers (see what I did there, with the alliteration?). Girls, it’s time to pour yourselves into a yellow jumpsuit, because this sword set will take your costume to the next level. The two swords have 12” handles and 29.25” stainless steel blades that are perfectly encased by the hardened acrylic and metal katana scabbards. If the best revenge is looking good, you’ll be all set this Halloween. Retail price: $70. Our price: $59.99.

4.) The Battle Axe of Gimli. If you’re on the shorter side of average and don’t feel like dressing up as an Immortal for Halloween, consider rocking a Gimli outfit! Your cloak and beard will keep you warm and cozy on a cold October night, but your authentic Battle Axe of Gimli will show everyone that you mean business. It’s double handed and measures almost 38” in length, perfect for touching hard-to-reach places (like a woman’s breast, depending on how short you actually are). Retail price: $170. Our price: $69.99.

3.) The Sword of Crom from Conan the Barbarian. Do you have thick muscles and a way with women? Then maybe you should grease yourself up, slip into a modified Speedo and hit the streets dressed as Conan the Barbarian for Halloween! There’s a reason this sword is near the top of this list, and when you lay eyes on it you’ll see why. “Suffer no guilt yee who wield this in the name of Crom” is etched into the stainless steel blade, which measures 29” long. When girls at the bar ask you what Crom is, you can take them to the bathroom and show them (after all, you are a barbarian). Retail price: $89.99. Our price: $64.97.

2.) Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirates of the Caribbean Cutlass. Yo ho ho and a bottle (or ten) of rum! Speaking of hos, you’ll be pulling them in like crazy with your authentic Caribbean cutlass. It’s amazing what a little guyliner and a long, thick sword and can do for you in ladies department. This sword has been given an aged finish that’ll make you look a little older and more sophisticated than any other weapon on this list. Retail price: $99.99. Our price: $69.99.

Number 1 this year is…

Link’s Master Sword. HELL YES! This is one sword that doesn’t even need an explanation. You’ll be the hit of the night dressed up as Link from the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. You’ll have your choice of party princesses when you whip out this Master Sword, complete with Triforce seal engraved on the 46” blade. Retail Price: $82.99. Our price: $45.97.
