I know collecting fantasy swords is usually a guy thing, but I’m a woman, and I’m proud of my sword collection. Admittedly though, I like to collect the ones that women of sci-fi shows, movies, or anime use, like the Sword of Vaelen. This sword belonged to Queen Vaelen, and it helped in the fight against the Dark Lord’s army. So don’t forget, guys, that women can be sword collectors, too!

Buying movie swords can be a magical experience. You see a picture of your fantasy brought to life right in front of your eyes. It’s really magical because you get to hold a piece of fiction. There’s no better feeling in the world than to hold your sword and swing it around.

Even though I’m in my 30s, I only recently became a collector of swords. My children got me hooked on anime because I’d often sit down to watch also. I had no idea you could buy swords based on television shows but my son found a picture of one online and that’s all it took. So that’s when it all started.

I did a lot of research before I purchased my first sword. I made a list of my favorite movies, anime, manga, etc and all of the weapons they featured. Then, I went online to see where I could buy those swords. Then I narrowed my choice down to two that I really liked. I finally picked one and waited an entire week before I made the purchase, in case I changed my mind. After the week was up, I bought my first sword and I’ve been a happy sword collector ever since.
