new 'Dao' Chinese broadswords for my boxers
« on: January 07, 2014, 03:04:51 »
these are a few of those historically accurate weapons that Geobra produced (Bravo!!) ...again, its 100% Chinese and 0% Japanese in case youre wondering why the new theme is neither Japanese nor
Chinese fantasy (I didnt buy the other Chinese sabre with tassles because they are too old for these boxers circa 1900..although they are still used in Kung Fu schools till today)

Really?  THOSE are chinese swords? I thought they were pirate :-[  Or Sinbad's (not that I REALLY know THAT story.)

I really like the "chinese sabre with tassles" :)

I'm looking forward to getting some of these. Some of these new weapons are what I actually like about the new theme. Did you order them as parts or just buy a lot of sets that contained them?

It does look like there's some pretty cool looking weapons realistic and not so realistic, personally I always used to associate those swords with Allading as in the Disney movie the Palace Guards always carried swords like that interesting if they're actually Chinese in origin just shows you can always learn something
