I'd get all three! But I voted for the Urn, like sunnydale876 said, it'd look great displayed.

I always wanted the urn, it's so unique and specific to Buffy.
I think that Spike's amulet and even the hammer could be from anywhere, where as the Urn is unique to the Buffyverse and people would ask - what's that?

Any idea of the cost for each? Even a ballpark figure.

Hey All Thanks for replying As for the costs of each, i really dont know until i start producing them. They are going to be low batch numbers AND will be produced by hand. So, dont expect a bargain prop for £19.95 lol I would expect the Urns to be the least expensive. Somewhere in the region of £30.00-£50.00. Remember, this takes into consideration prodctuction method- By hand. IE. Sanding, painting, details, sealing etc etc Spikes Amulet is bar far the most difficult item. Fun to make, but take a LONG time lol. Not to mention the parts for it can cost a substantial amount- the gold chain, the metal back plate, the jewel. I would imagine these would cost no more than £80.00. The Hammer, would most likely be around £60.00. The mould is the most expensive part. Casting them in foam and ofcourse, finishing the painting, by hand, takes a while these are just estimates, but it will be unlikely that the cost of each would rise Hope they arent too wacky. I know some maybe more expensive than DST's "could be" prices. But remember, they produce theirs in high numbers, therefore reducing overhead costs immensely. Whereas im making each one, by hand, using no machinery or employees lol Wayne |

Also, remember that these are going to be much more accurate to the REAL prop than anything DST would have done. Wayne spend countless hours researching...I know (I helped him a little). We scoured the internet for references and such. These are gonna be so cool!

I take great pride in my work and would never offer anything below par. I wouldnt ever dream of selling an item that would disapoint the buyer. I only ever stop working on a prop once its at a stage that i would consider it a quality that i would expect a prop to have Wayne |

For the record, I would definitely buy an Urn at that price point, especially when you consider that each is hand made. |

That's cheap. Don't be afraid to charge, I mean, time is money. I should probably not have said that out loud...  |
