God Of War merchandise taken very seriously

Blades of Chaos replicas look lethal
If you're into videogame merchandise (who isn't?) Sony isn't messing about with these sweet Kratos Blades of Chaos replicas.

No crappy plastic or foamy blades here - this thing's made with solid-cast zinc aluminium, so when you're swinging it about in the living room pretending to be Kratos, you can actually do some damage. Just put the cat out first.

Here's the official word:

"The scaled replica of Kratos' Blades of Chaos, stretches 20 13/16" overall and is designed with a 12 7/16" blade constructed from solid-cast zinc aluminum with a custom-etched mold texture, and unique fantasy grindings that mirror the piece used in the game. The handle grip is injection-molded and surrounded by an intricate, detailed cast-metal guard and pommel. The Blades of Chaos replica includes a custom display stand with the God of War logo."

And you could actually wreck a Medusa mermaid, should one ever attack you. You can pre-order yours and read more about them here, although you'll have to check for any possible shipping restrictions, fellow Britons.

I emailed them and they dont deliver outside US, so UK and Ireland...no luck gettin them, they only post outside US if over $1000 and through Wire Transfer which totally sucks, even if u order 2 its still only around $300

@Fallen, bare in mind that these are basically for big sale distributors to pick them up, for example MW2 Prestige edition was not intended for the UK, however due to HMV in mass-buying stock, they have secured it.

Keep an eye out, to see if similar goes for this really, :)

If a chav stabs me down at my bus stop I want him to use one of these.

Sony love God of War too much. Anyone remember the (real) goat's head they brought to the God of War 2 launch party? I hope PETA weren't there. Likewise I hope the health & safety people never visit the HMV stocking these!

Forbidden Planet don't sell blade anymore due to stupid people and stupid rules which are all stupid.

Ahem, that said, yes, it looks rather silly.
