Ah, one of my favorite fantasy swords. From what I hear over on MOTUMovie Blog, it was affectionately dubbed "the Buick Slayer" by Dolph and the Stunt Crew. And was FULLY made out of steel and brass. Very nice recreation though.
Looking through an earlier post, Tim, you said that you were looking for a way to display it: why not try recreating Skeletor's Lock he puts it in that was next to the Throne of Grayskull? Blinky Lights and all!
