[benjiedude]

What's the story with these? and at $170+? Very ugly to pay that much...

necaonline.com is the official site for all neca items and that item does not appear on the site so either it's an early concept image or a rip off. 

I think it's fake because the replica's are being sold by UC can be seen on the Merchandise page.

Besides, 170$ is a lot, considering I bought mine for 90$ and they are life size and made of metal (non-official mind you)

EDIT: I just noticed this on the site:

Availability: This item has not yet been released, Pre-Order your copy today and we will ship it to you as soon as it comes in. Estimated shipping date: 10-23-2008

My clock says it's 2009.

Hey guys, sorry for the delay.  Unfortunately I don't know who made them, there is no name or logo which means they are unlicensed, maybe just fan made, and they aren't exact replica's.  Size wise they are (L x W of the whole thing) 14" x 15".  I happened to stumble on them as I walked past a local comic store that sells collectibles like this.

Here is a pic, I haven't gotten around to hanging them yet, and yes they are sharp!

I dont like the Omega symbol on them. Can thay actually come off the holder thingy?

[IGlowInTheDark]

I like them.  And yes they come off the holder, you can handle them, they are even attached by a chain so you can't lose one
