Well I do carry a shaver and I have been told I have great legs already, but a scullery maid ifs supposed to look more man than woman…lol

Well i gues I did meet my wife on that day shopping for high heels and asked her out on the night I dressed as the pink playboy bunny.
Drag is not too bad then it…
You will be please to know that the items I am selling are now in stock and they are made by deepeeka
deepeeka.co.in/latex-weaponry.html
who have spent a great deal of time getting a top of the line product that one could stand beside …which i do
They have a new range coming out this year I will keep you posted
also king of swords does offer a discount of 20% as an introduction offer
Which makes the products way cheaper then any thing on sale in new zealand
I hope this will bring down the prices of other suppliers thus giving the larp community better deals …
competition keeps trades honest …
I have been some what surprised with some of the commits on this thread as well as the rude chap I meet at Taupo
I wonder why these people have come on so strong as i am not forcing anything on any one I am just offering what a believe to be a better deal.
I hope other suppliers will follow suit making it better for every one in the long run
The only way to get a better deal is to have competition …
am I right or am I right
Where are the New Zealand prices? I’m a bit confused about what website I should be looking at. I can’t find any mention of latex weapons on the King of Swords website.
I think that in theory the idea of foam weapons & shields being made in India is a good one, they should be able to get prices down compared to those made in Europe because of lower labour costs. I’m more than happy to have competition to Paddywhack as I’m not really in it for the money anyhow, especially if you’re going to do some marketing around New Zealand that might raise interest in foam weapon fighting and larp.
However, as a number of people have pointed out the shape of the Eagle Flex weapons isn’t brilliant. Most of them are just a bit too “fat” to look believable, or at least that’s how they look in photos. That is the honest feedback from your potential customers. Perhaps you can feed that back to the manufacturers?
Yes these products are not on the web as i am so busy with the shop and selling real swords …In fact I didn’t want to sell foam weapons as I felt I didn’t have the time for it, plus the welcome mat on the subject wasn’'t so good either so I thought I would just leave it out …However my supplier has sent me over a box of samples which I now need to sell
I have been doing a lot of work sponsoring events and helping with prizes at events such as Taupo but I know very little about the larp community
My plan was to start youth fighting where young kids can get into latex fighting while mum and dad are doing steel fighting …however the numbers are still a little low for this to work here …How are your suppliers I would be more then happy to past this baton on to you if you wish and to have you stock the deepeeka range giving you the right to talk direct to the manufacturers about product development as well as new products
And yes you are right about the products …any product made in India / china will be cheaper by a long shot on anything made any where else
If you are keen to take this further could you please email at info@kingofswords.co.nz
Most of the items sell for $110 roughly with a 20% discount to larp people thats about $88 a unit …say something supportive and I will go down to $80
I expect the product will get better suited for what you want
At present they are mainly used for youth fighting which also comes with it’s fair share of leather kit as well
Most of the products and other bling we have are in stock and we a quite happy to come along to any sizable event to show you
and yes the web page hasn’t been updated we are looking at giving larp it’s own branch as there are so many other items that could be brought in
The site has been quite a battle to keep updated as there is so many new items
I have a few photos of hollywood type latix mask add ons …They are great turn your own face into anything and it looks real …they are so cool
however don’t know how to add photos
Like I have said we help out where we can and we put aside a % of our profit just to help and support the community that helps and supports us. I dont know much about LARP other then it looks like great fun.
At present we have been more involved with Naama and have been focused on supporting more the public displays as we feel this is he best way to bring all these arts into the main stream
I found this awesome site yesterday, it sells EVERYTHING you want and need. check it out, sign up for an account, and gimme some feedback. it might be pretty pricey but…
Oh, and do you know if king of swords will be introducing latex quarterstaffs?
