Spirit Long Sledge Hammer (2023?)

The mechanisms inside the lens of this camera are borked; count your blessings.

OH, MY STARS AND GARTERS.
Hi Kelsey <333333333

I'm going to excise my ramblings, leaving nothing but my assessment of the piece itself, since I have parted with all of my Silent Hill media.
 
I would ask if you’re seeing this shit, but my camera is jacked up, so you honestly aren’t… It’s wrapped, and the visible parts are molded to look as if they’re splintering. It honestly doesn't even feel like foam; it's practically plastic. It's glorious.

I wanted a big-ass hammer.
At the time, I wanted something to indicate the fact that Travis’s weapons break.

It took a PokΓ©mon-esque evolution path of purchases, but I finally found it.

This is the one.

Spirit Bloody Butcher's Knife (2023)

The mechanisms inside the lens of this camera are borked; count your blessings.


I'm going to excise my ramblings, leaving nothing but my assessment of the piece itself, since I have parted with all of my Silent Hill media.

There is an alarmingly accurate real knife, in this house, that I had on my weapons rack, for a few months. Do not follow in my footsteps, because it tried its damnedest to drive itself straight into my foot. Twice. While in many other regards I am assuredly the real-life incarnation of the greatest gambler to ever live, I wasn’t in the mood to go for broke, here. I was not interested in pressing my luck, any further.

Cue Spirit, previewing this year’s wares, on their site. Plastic? Not foam? Be still my heart~ The handle is…not the cheapest, but it is 100% basic. It’s like I’m back in Kindergarten, playing house. The blood splatter is similarly banal. Thankfully, the entirety of the piece feels more robust than their firearm; I absolutely feel comfortable dropping it. In fact, I intentionally did just that! Point-first, right onto my foot, to appease and reset the odds of the universe.

I’m not saying it’s life changing, but in a world where I’m being asked to pay $30 to pre-order a 6'' domestic Danhausen figure, I have suddenly realized that I’m living the dream. So, yes, at the very least I am saying that it’s wonderful, in its own very vanilla ways. Love that Danhausen, but I got my Buster Sword for less than that, man! You people still collecting new figures, in this current era, are getting screwed, without lube.

Costume weaponry and X-Men trading cards, forever!

You dumbshit, you're collecting Transformers, again πŸ˜‚
