Sometimes finding the perfect gift for someone is a challenge. You may have some general ideas of what someone likes but if you really want to up your gifting game and give them something they’ll love it can take some real thought.
If you have a franchise fan in your life, this can be a little less challenging. Fans of franchises like Marvel Cinematic Universe, Star Wars, Harry Potter, or even James Bond (and many many others) will often want to collect replicas of props from their favorite movies or shows. Luckily there are some great replicas out there you can give as the perfect gift.
Take a look at these ideas and see what might match that special someone in your life. There’s a wide array of ideas to choose from. Here are 10 weapon replicas that would make awesome gifts.
1. Avenger 3 Infinity War: Thor’s Stormbreaker Axe
Thor’s axe is always a huge hit with MCU fans. If you need a good gift for a fan of The Avengers, going with something Thor wields is always a good bet. This Stormbreaker replica is high quality and could be used for cosplay or just a great display in anyone’s collection.
You can bet it will make a good gift and you’ll be able to watch their eyes light up when they realize they’re going to be able to have their very own version of Thor’s iconic Stormbreaker Axe to display with pride for years to come.
2. Avengers Legends Captain America Shield
Sometimes getting a weapon for someone is more about making sure you get the *right* replica. There are some replicas that might look great for a child’s Halloween costume but that doesn’t mean they’re going to be a great addition to someone’s collection. That is definitely not the case with this replica of Captain America’s shield.
This shield is a full 24 inches in diameter and it’s made of high-quality materials complete with a high-shine finish. It also has 2 adjustable straps on the back, so if your intended gift recipient wants to wear this shield just like Captain America would, they can at any time. It’s sure to be a huge hit.
3. The Noble Collection Suicide Squad – Harley Quinn Baseball Bat Prop Replica
When it comes to giving someone a weapon replica The Noble Collection is always a great option. This brand is known for creating high-quality replicas that are officially authorized by the franchise creators. That means you aren’t risking getting low-grade plastic when you buy it.
Harley Quinn’s Baseball Bat is no exception. The Noble Collection delivers on quality and authenticity yet again. It’s officially authorized by both Warner Brothers and DC Comics. It’s made of wood and measures 31.5 inches in length. You won’t disappoint anyone who opens this baby up as a gift.
4. Marvel Legends Series Infinity Gauntlet Articulated Electronic Fist
Another popular MCU item you can’t go wrong with is definitely the Infinity Gauntlet. And while you could get one that just kind of looks cool, why go for just looks when you can also get one that has articulated moveable fingers (they’ll be able to make that fist no problem), infinity stones that light up and includes movie-inspired sound effects?
This particular version of the Infinity Gauntlet has it all. It will look great on display but they’ll also be able to enjoy wearing and showing it off. It’s not just cool, it’s extra cool. Thanos probably would spare anyone wearing this particular replica of his gauntlet. It does require batteries so don’t forget to grab some of those before you wrap this up and give it as a gift.
5. QMX Batman Batarang 1:1 Scale Prop Replica
Batman’s Batarangs are legendary and having a replica to display would be a crowning glory for any fan of the legendary superhero. This particular Batarang replica is a great option because it’s exactly to scale, and it’s made of high-quality metal.
It comes complete with a display stand, but the Batman fan in your life won’t be disappointed by that. The stand is magnetic and the Batarang can be removed and held easily without affecting how great the Batarang looks (and the stand will remain intact, too.) It will be a great addition to any collection out there.
6. DC Collectibles DC Gallery: The Joker Cane Prop Replica
The Joker and his cane are quite the pair. He uses his cane as seemingly both a fashion choice and a weapon depending on what suits him at the time. This Joker Cane replica is made by DC Collectibles so you know it’s going to be good. When it comes to replicas they bring everything to an entirely new level.
The cane has an amazingly detailed sculpted Joker for the handle and is also brass tipped. It comes in two pieces that are easily assembled and every bit of this replica is extremely well made. Anyone who loves the Joker knows they need to collect a version of his cane, and this one is going to deliver on every possible hope they could have for how their replica looks.
7. The Noble Collection Aquaman Trident
Aquaman’s Trident is always going to be iconic and The Noble Collection delivers yet again with this amazing replica. As always it’s authorized by Warner Brothers, and it’s extremely well made. It breaks down into 3 pieces to be easily stored which could be handy depending on how much room someone has to show this baby off.
It measures 74 inches tall when it’s fully assembled so it’s going to require a decent amount of space. Whether it’s on display or used for cosplay this replica is not going to disappoint anyone.
8. NECA – Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) – Prop Replica Freddy Glove
Sometimes getting a good weapon replica goes beyond superheroes and heads straight into the horror film franchises. If you have a horror fan in your life then a Freddy Glove is probably a must-have for any collection they might be amassing when it comes to replicas.
This Freddy Glove replica is made of real cloth and metal so you don’t have to worry about it looking cheap and plastic-like. It looks so much like the real deal that anyone would be proud to display it, and probably also at least try it on a few times just to see how much they can pull off this “look.”
9. Star Wars The Black Series Kylo Ren Force FX Deluxe Lightsaber
Is any movie weapon replica collection complete without a really good lightsaber? No, it really really isn’t. This particular replica of Kylo Ren’s lightsaber is particularly amazing, too. It has a real metal hilt and comes with a display stand.
Don’t worry, you will still get a Kylo Ren lightsaber that is complete with authentic movie sound effects even with the higher quality materials for this version. Your loved one will be able to remove it from the display stand and use it as often as they like. You really can’t go wrong with this one.
10. The Noble Collection Elder Wand
Once again it all comes down to high quality. You can find versions of Dumbledore’s wand all over but none of them are officially licensed by Warner Brothers and they don’t come with the amazing quality of The Noble Collection.
This wand comes complete with an Ollivander’s Wands box, wrapped in silk. It measures 15 inches long and it looks exactly like the wand Dumbledore himself used to do some pretty amazing things in the wizarding world. Any Harry Potter fan would be thrilled to add the Elder Wand to their collection.
Conclusion:
Finding a gift just got a little easier for you. Anyone you know that loves movie props is sure to love at least one (or several) of these gift ideas. You can rest easy knowing you’re going to give a gift that makes them smile and shows you know them and their interests extremely well. Enjoy the gift-giving experience and the great feeling of knowing you couldn’t have done any better.
